RHO SQUADRON REPORT #6 |
REPORTING OFFICER: Captain Westric Davalorn, Squadron Commander |
SQUADRON COMMANDER'S CORNER |
(Studying his datapad as he walks down the hall towards the simulator room, Captain Westric "Dav" Davalorn comments over his shoulder, "The 'ReMob' numbers are looking good, but we'll need to make a concerted push if we're going to achieve our goals." Nix, the Rho Squadron astromech droid, whistles in agreement with Dav's assessment as he follows the Rho Commander down the hall. Dav rounds the corner and enters the simulator room. He hangs a hard right towards the section of simulator pods reserved for Rho Squadron for the duration of 'ReMob'. Just as he reaches the group of pods, one of the hatches opens with a hiss. Out steps the Rho Squadron Executive Officer, Commander Alexandre “ossusplayz” Morgan. "Ossus," Dav acknowledges as he walks past, but then stops in his tracks as he notices the younger man's appearance. "Kriff, man!" Dav exclaims. "How long have you been in there?!" Ossus rubs the dark circles under his eyes. "I don't know," he responds, patting down his disheveled hair, "A few hours?" Dav glances over the XO's shoulder at the simulator pod data readout. "It says you started up the simulator on 7/4." "Yeah, so?" responds Ossus, scratching at the stubble on his chin. "Today is 7/5," clarifies Dav. "Take a break and hit the refresher. We need you fully functional for the rest of 'ReMob'." "Yes sir," yawns the XO. He tosses a salute and heads for the exit. Dav continues through the group of pods, checking the data readouts. He notices a group of pilots at the other end huddled together in discussion and approaches. Lieutenant Colonel Adom "fr0Zen" Wietu is standing in front of the group, discussing tactics with some of the newer pilots: Lieutenants Bronx Bluar, Chudan, Rotarg Kradak, Vraal Spag, and ReconNine. Spotting Dav approaching, fr0Zen calls out "Attention!" The rest of the pilots snap to attention. "As you were," Dav responds. "Thank you all for your contributions thus far. I look forward to grabbing some more simulator time with all of you. Carry on, fr0Zen." The Pantoran veteran nods and resumes his lesson on dogfighting. Dav walks back through the simulator pods and exits into the hallway. He continues down the hall to his office. He walks through the door, sits down behind his desk, and turns to the data terminal to begin composing his next report.) Pilots of Rho Squadron, We are over halfway through the fourth annual Squadron (Re)Mobilization. We have made significant progress on several goals, but have not yet completed any of them. Bear in mind that our ability to requisition new fighters or request an update to our mission profile hinges on our success in "ReMob". Speaking of success, please join me in congratulating Rho XO, Commander Alexandre “ossusplayz” Morgan, for achieving first place in the PvE Killboard for the 6th month of the Imperial Calendar with 265 victories! Please also congratulate Flight Leader Tiran Marr of Flight III on his recent promotion to Lieutenant Commander! We have picked up three new recruits since the last report. Sub-Lieutenants Chudan, Vraal Spag, and ReconNine have been assigned to Rho 8, Rho 14, and Rho 15, respectively. All three have recently been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant! Lastly, Lieutenant Varnin Goldsbane has been out of contact for some time and has been declared missing in action. That's all the news I have for now. For peace and order throughout the galaxy! For the Empire! |

COMPETITIONS |
All TIE Corps squadrons are assigned the following tasks:
Before VA Marenta's time as the Warrior Commodore, she used her faithful TIE Reaper, BESSIE, during a mission in which her com circuitry was corrupted and led to cascading and repetitive damage. Being the brilliant logistician she was, she decided to appropriate her vessel from Inferno Squadron and bring it with her to the ISDII Warrior. Unfortunately, it still has the bug of a strange frequency being transmitted into her ship. The messages are simply random 3, 4, and 5 letter combinations repeated for approximately 2 standard weeks before the letter combinations change again. In an effort to help figure out what the messages mean, Marenta has tasked the Warrior to make up phrases for the letter combinations and polling the fleet to determine which is the most likely. Every 2 weeks VA Marenta will generate 3, 4, and 5 random letter combinations and create a Google Form to allow personnel onboard ISDII Warrior to fill out with a time frame of 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, the responses will be put up in a poll where the Warrior members will vote on the responses provided. The members voting will NOT be able to see which phrase was submitted by which member. After a 2 week voting period, to keep the submissions along the same time period as the voting, VA Marenta will announce the winners. Each season will have 6 full rounds of entries/voting/results. Example: VTK Vocal Tauntauns? Kill! FTWN Free The Wookies Now! VAAAS Vacations At Alderaan Are Stupid There are EIGHT feats of strength with increasing difficulty. Settings: Squadrons, Fly Solo FB vs AI (with AI pilots ON) Duration: 30 mins Map: Yavin Level 1: Play as Imperial and destroy the Enemy Calamari Cruiser on Easy Level 2: Play as New Republic and destroy the Enemy ISD on Easy Level 3: Play as Imperial and destroy the Enemy Calamari Cruiser on Medium Level 4: Play as New Republic and destroy the Enemy ISD on Medium Level 5: Play as Imperial and destroy the Enemy Calamari Cruiser on Medium without reinforced hull Level 6: Play as New Republic and destroy the Enemy ISD on Medium without reinforced hull Level 7: Play as Imperial and destroy the Enemy Calamari Cruiser on Medium Ironman (No deaths) Level 8: Play as New Republic and destroy the Enemy ISD on Medium Ironman (No deaths) In case of a tie, two players reaching the same level, their position will be determined by the time they took to complete their last level. Example: managed to reach level 3 but never completed it, your best time for level 2 will be used to determine any ties with other players. Each attempt will need to be either video-recorded (streamed) or spectated by a judge. Judges' names to be announced. After a particularly bad batch of Chalquilla was distributed by Inferno Squadron, medical was inundated with severely hungover and somewhat illiterate members of the fleet. The tanks had been infected with a spore that ate sugar and spit out alcohol, like yeast. But, this spore also had a side effect, it secreted a neuro inhibitor that ate away people’s knowledge. To help “stimulate” some learning, Inferno, along with the medical crew, have started sending out word puzzles to help the members of the fleet regain some of their lost knowledge. At the beginning of every month, VA Marenta will generate a word search and post the link along with announcing the previous month’s entrants. Each month, the puzzle will be related to something specific like planets, people, craft, manufacturers, wars, a movie/book/series, etc. Each puzzle will be 50 words and the site will keep track of all submissions. This competition will utilize the time test on the website in lieu of using the first-entrant on the host site. The full list of current competitions can be found here in the Competitions Center. |
