SALUTE

INFERNO SQUADRON NEWS:

--- ORDERS FOR ALL INFERNO PILOTS:

(1) Fly the announced TIE Free Mission for the SSL 2000 Semifinals by January 21. We expect the announcement from the Sovereign tomorrow. I am expecting all pilots to fly the mission. Provide the best hints for getting a high score directly the pilots of Wing X (wingx-announce@egroups.com) and earn a PC!

(2) Add a part of the story in the form of a mission when the Inferno Battle Project Run-on story gets to you. LCM Ace has the file now. Next would be LCM Triji Boliv, LT Bora Yar, COL Jack, and LT Oskar Holtz.

(3) Consider designing a brief mission for either TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, or X-Wing Alliance to be selected for the Jedi Convention 2001 held in Cologne, Germany next Easter. Details available at http://www.tiecorps.org/tac/contest.html


--- COL JACK LOSES THE CHALLENGE ACE TITLE TO MAJOR BRANDON
COL Jack and MAJ Brandon faced off for ISD Challenge Ace Title, using FREE-TIE #25 - Ace #1. Congratulations go to the winner, MAJ Brandon. We are all very proud of COL Jack and his defense of the title.

--- COL JACK AND CPT CALVIN NUNB RECOMMENDED FOR COL
I cannot say how fortunate Inferno is to have COL Jack and CPT Calvin Nunb. Their contributions to the EH are impressive to say the very least. They have both been recommended for consideration in the awarding of the Commendation of Loyalty. I wish them both good luck!

--- PALPATINE CRESCENTS FOR HIGH ACTIVITY
Calvin Nunb, Jack, Locke, and Triji Boliv all earned a medal for their impressive activity in the quiet month of December. Congratulations!

--- INFERNO SKIPS XWA LEAGUE III
XWA League III is starting, but only six of us own the platform. Therefore, I have decided that Inferno will not officially take part. There is more information at http://members.tripod.co.uk/eh_badlands/co2v2/

--- NEW FLIGHT THREE HOMEPAGE
FL/CM Locke is uploading the files to a new Flight Three homepage location at: http://inferno.s5.com.
