Utinni!

Squadron (Re)Mobilization 5 is Complete!

Lambda Squadron Emerges Victorious!

          Faced with adversity, Lambda Squadron went above and beyond, stepping outside their wheelhouse to ensure we pulled through with a full 48-tier completion of the event! With an 88% squadron participation in Squadron (Re)Mob, all participating pilots had commendable accolades that contributed to the squadron as a whole and perfectly fell in line with the purpose of the event, which was to build squadron cohesion and morale, as we work towards common tasks put before us and prepare for the battle ahead (Raise the Flag, tentatively in September)!

           I am ecstatic to be able to highlight your accomplishments. You all did a fantastic job and deserve to be praised for your efforts!

Flight I

1-3 LC Solohan50 - The little Ewok that could, this proud master of the zucchini took lead in our single player battle creation. He was instrumental in herding us sheep and keeping us on track. He also gets credit for aiding in completing our PvE and PvP goals! Well done, Sir!

1-4 LCM Calvin Phrick - He showed the determination of a furious mudhorn (no lie!) to ensure his work in the Imperial University contributed to our combined success! Your efforts and determination are an inspiration! Great job, Sir!

Flight II

2-1 MAJ TheBlackxRanger - TheBlackxRanger did what TheBlackxRanger does. Not only was he instrumental in the completion of all our PvP goals, but also our PvE goals, Fiction, Imperial University Courses, Wikipedia Articles, single player tasks, and even assisted in the battle outline! For your first month as Squadron Executive Officer, you certainly led by example and filled in where needed, being the influence we all needed. Thank you, Sir!

2-2 LT Asche - Ashe was thrown in the fray early in the month, forced to learn what it is to be TIE Corps pilot. In quick order, Asche stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park, completing his TCCORE well ahead of schedule to help complete our Imperial University requirements! You did a fantastic job, and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you, Sir!

2-3 LCM Therj'en'nuruodo - While balancing a busy life schedule, Jenn was able to assist Lambda in completing two different PvP categories, our PvE requirement, and added a Wikipedia article. Well done, Sir!

Flight III

3-1 CPT Wolve Excelsior Berkana - It cannot be understated Wolve Excelsior Berkana’s integral role in completing our single player tasks. Focusing on his strengths as a single-player powerhouse, Wolve is almost single-highhandedly responsible for completing all four tasks put before Lambda. While the rest of the squadron had a small hand in the effort, Wolve made up most of that front. He is also responsible for adding to our Wikipedia articles, the battle outline, and a lot of the fiction and PvE requirements. You, too, provided an immense amount of positive reinforcement and leadership for the squadron that was crucial for our victory in Squadron (Re)Mob. Your work as Flight Leader has been exemplary! Thank you, sir!

Closing Comments

           This report made it out a little later than I would have liked, for a variety of reasons. Thank you for your patience as I get up to speed making these reports. What you guys did in June is nothing short of phenomenal and made for an incredible first month for me in the role of Commander. We did absolutely fantastic job and I am looking forward to the months ahead, as we work together to become even stronger as a squadron. Lambda wouldn't be what it is without the great pilots that fill its ranks. Thank you for allowing me to command the greatest squadron in the fleet!
