From the (very tiny) desk of andr3

A dull mechanic clonk was audible from Sin's ready room aboard ISDII Warrior. It seemed to be to coming from far down the hallway. Then another clonk clonk. Closer. CLONK CLONK CLONK. Even closer. CLONKCLONKCLONKCLONKCLONK .... SWOOSH. The door had opened. A terrifying IG-11 battle driod stood in the doorframe with a little green head, big brown eyes and oversized ears poking out from its chest. MAJ andr3's clumsy little hands wacked some buttons: "No! No! No! Yes! Yes! Yes!". The remainder of Sin Squadron was already gathered around the table and collectively dropped their foreheads on it. For the past couple of weeks andr3 had been bugging the crap out of everyone on the Warrior with its new toy-exoskeleton. It was rumored that RA JetMech had called AD Marenta from her leave to retake charge of battlegroup II because of this. He simply couldn't take the madness anymore that was Sin Squadron - spearheaded by ... a toddler in an exosuit. It was quite absurd.

In the past month LCM Hollow, SL deagon stormcaller and LT darkpatatoes had quit their jobs over this. These shenanigans simply were not what they had in mind when they signed up for the Imperial Navy. They had been told the Warrior was a special ship. But this special was something else indeed.

Luckily for Sin Squadron, the Empire was never low on cannon fodder. The TCCS had seen to Sin being re-staffed with two legends, MAJ Wreckage and MAJ Coremy Jertese, both former FLs and in Wreckage's case even a former CMDR, as well as a young, promising pilot named LT Brao Denat. CMDR andr3 was determined to either make Brao one of the best pilots the Warrior had to offer or to completely drive the rookie insane. That was pretty much a given.

Introducing...

We've had quite a change in our line up in recent months. Therefore, I have decided to add a new category to our report where pilots introduce themselves.

MAJ Wreckage

Wreckage's unbreakable spirit was forged in the fiery tragedy of his past. His father, a legendary TIE Pilot, died in a catastrophic crash, leaving his mother in despair. But Wreckage refused to be crushed by grief. He became the rock his mother leaned on and followed in his father's footsteps, enrolling in the infamous Skystrike Academy against her wishes.

Wreckage proved himself a natural born warrior, a force to be reckoned with in the cockpit. He rose through the ranks, earning countless decorations, and becoming a legend among his peers. But fate had other plans for him. In a freak accident, his TIE fighter careened out of control, leaving him on the brink of death.

Miraculously, Wreckage survived, but his body was forever transformed. Cybernetic enhancements replaced much of his flesh, and he emerged as a fearsome machine-human hybrid, more powerful than ever. Undaunted by his new form, Wreckage embraced his new identity, becoming a symbol of the Empire's unyielding power.

News

• Roster: Wrackage, Coremy and Brao are in, Hollow, deagon & darkpatatoes took a break. We hope to see them again in the future.
• RA JetMech returned BGII command to AD Marenta Jean
• SL Brao Denat passed TCCORE and subsequently was promoted to full Lieutenant. Congrats LT Brao Denat!
• Robert Hogan was promoted to Colonel. An extraordinary achievement!
• After the events of Imperial Storm V it was deemed necessary by the TCCS to reinforce the three battlegroups that made up the active part of the TIE Corps. The Emperor's Hammer strike fleet decided to re-assign ISDII Relentless to BGII. During these proceedings it was offered to Sin Squadron to collectively go under cover and form a new squadron under a new name on the Relentless. andr3 was tempted by the purple uniforms that Relentless' Wing IX had to offer. Purple uniforms were one of the things the kid obsessed with... alongside with shiny metal balls, turquoise cookies and making frogs levitate. The decision was put up for a democratic vote of which the outcome was to be expected: half of Sin's roster took a clear stance for their pride and what Sin meant to them. The other half scoffed: pfff, democracy
• Elite Dangerous is now a primary game. The Emperor's Hammer EH94 squadron can be found at Inara
• COL Robert Hogan has decided to step down as Sin's SQXO at the end of May. They'll be succeeded by LC SkyShadow, who is currently the FL of Flight III. FM LCM Rui Borges will take on the responsibility of leading Flight III. I would like to thank all of you for your dedication. The official announcements will follow at the end of May / beginning of June
• Aside from the monthly medals for April, recognitions for none-general activity for the past trimester have been awarded. Every four months these medals go out to pilots who go above and beyond regular flying activities, set an example and move the TC ahead as a whole. The idea is to recognize services that aren't awarded by other offices already (like the Training or Internet Offices, for example). In this round we'd like to thank MAJ Kazraran (ISM), COL Robert Hogan (PC), LCM Sith Rui (PC), and MAJ andr3 (GS)
• For their services to the IU, COL Robert Hogan has earned the Medal of Scholarship
• We regained the first place on the Squadron Battleboard with 41 citations. More below

Squadron Citations: 41 (+41)

Due to the recent changes in the roster, with less experienced pilots leaving and veterans coming in, we have seen a boost in squadron citations.

Standing Squadron Orders

• The Sin Squadron Battleboard lists battles that we are very close to owning. Please make these your priority when completing single player battles.
• For ship and corps wide competitions please consult the Competition Center
• We get together for some MP Sinfantry Training on every 4th Saturday of a given month.

In Closing

My door is always open to all of you. If you need any help, guidance or just direction for some activities then please don’t hesitate to contact me on Discord or by email. If you’re online and gaming, drop in to one of our voice channels for visibility. You never know, you might end up flying with some fellow Sinners or other members of the Corps.

For Sin!
