Important countdowns:

• About 18 hours until the end of the SP Bonus Comp. I've been seeing a few BSFs come through, would be happy to see a few more!
• About 42 hours until the end of Raise the Flag. Currently, the Warrior leads the Hammer by very nearly 4000 points at 8752 to 4753.

This week, Kappa Squadron filled its roster again with the addition of SL Rachel Drakon. Welcome aboard!

Both of our newest pilots, SL Lucifer Scorpio Romanov and SL Rachel Drakon, earned their promotions to full Lieutenant very soon after their assignments. Well done! From there, they wasted no time in building up to 30 completed MP missions and each earned their Commendation of Bravery!

One more item about our newest pilots: LT Lucifer Scorpio Romanov was awarded his first Medal of Instruction for recruiting Rachel Drakon!

The MP Bonus Comp wrapped up with Warrior squadrons taking the top two spots, congratulations to Theta and Kappa! Theta's GN Gilad Pellaeon and GN Pickled Yoda claimed first and second in the individual results, with Kappa's LC Ulrich Drachen taking fourth. Detailed awards:

• GN Gilad Pellaeon received an IS-GW for winning the MP Bonus Comp and an IS-SW for winning the Star Conflict PvE component
• GN Pickled Yoda was awarded three IS-SWs for second overall, joint first in XWA PvP, and joint first in XvT PvE. He also received two IS-BWs for joint second in XvT PvE and second place in Star Conflict PvE.
• LC Ulrich Drachen was awarded an IS-SW for first place in Galactic Starfighter PvP. He also earned two IS-BWs for joint second in XvT PvP and joint second in XWA PvP.
• COL Mark Schueler earned an IS-SW for joint first in XvT PvE and received an IS-BW for joint second in XWA PvP
• LC Len Eode was awarded an IS-SW for joint first in XvT PvP
• COL Daniel Stephens earned an IS-SW for joint first in XWA PvP

After completing the busywork very important research project I had him on, GN Frown has become aware of Raise the Flag and declared his intent to lead from the front. Front of the briefing room before sending you all out, I'm sure he means.

LT Lucifer Scorpio Romanov earned his first Iron Star, an IS-BR, by correctly naming the movie for HA Dempsey's screenshot!

LC Repulsor tied for third in the June set of monthly awards in TIE Corps on Patrol and was awarded an IS-BW!
