Lieutenant Wett, the newest member of Firebird Squadron, wiped the sweat from his brow. He'd been sitting in the sim pit for nearly six hours already, and the interior was stuffy and stale. Opposite him was Commander Iam Thinking, who had recently also joined Firebird as his wingmate in flight two. Wett's computer began to beep. "Missile lock," he said under his breath. Seconds later, Iam's pip disappeared from the screen as the concussion missile found its mark.

A muffled thump could be heard, followed by a long sigh that was intentionally directed through Iam's microphone. "Good game," he said. "Let's go again."

Admiral Silwar Naiilo shut off the video feed he was using to monitor them. The pair had gotten lots of practice over the last few days, and were beginning to get a feel for their new X-Wings. "They might even be flight ready in a few months. Now, time to stop procrastinating and write my report..."

Projects and Activities
The last month primarily saw the completion of several Elite Dangerous competitions, which have fed into the proposal that the Combat Operations Office is submitting to the TCCOM and SOO this weekend. This proposal aims to include it as a primary platform, although it's not guaranteed to pass as-is or even at all; Elite Dangerous poses some interesting challenges in that it isn't the type of game we typically account for. Finding activities that make sense for Legions in an MMO is an especially complex exercise, but we think the proposal covers a good range of activities that aren't exploitable when it comes to competitions like Ace, ReMob, RtF, or any of the other spammy-type competitions.

We wrapped up Dax's XvT tournament, which saw our very own LC randyrumrunr take first place and earn a DFC. RA TheBlackxRanger also took part and was second place within the EH, while I came in third (and a much lower spot in the overall tournament. Ouch.)

The Emperor's Hammer also participated in Squadrons Week of War 7. WoW is a combat event run between many organizations such as TRA, TFA, and dozens of others in its 25-year history, beginning almost immediately after X-Wing vs TIE Fighter was released in 1997. In this iteration, TRA, TFA, MCS, and the EH engaged in Star Wars Squadrons games. We took second place in the ratings this time. Excellent work!

We've wrapped up the season of TIE Corps Shootouts. ORAs will be making their way to all participants soon. I'm seeking feedback for the next season, so feel free to DM or email me any thoughts you have on the format, time, awards, or anything else.

Lastly, we continue to keep an eye on four other combat events:
  • 3PO league, a 3v3 Squadrons Fleet Battles event
  • Vander Memorial Trios Cup, another 3v3 Squadrons Fleet Battles event
  • SPL, a 5v5 Dogfighting League for Star Wars Squadrons
