FROM: TCCOM/HA Elwood the Brave DATE SUBMITTED: 7th January 2017

NEWS HEADLINES

* big command shuffle * 1 RSV transfer * Year end leave over

OVERVIEW

I hope everyone had a great start into this new year 2017. Welcome back after your extended leave over the years end holidays. Here we go with another TCCOM report. For the command structure of the TIE Corps, 2017 started with something one might call an earthquake. 2 new COMs, 3 new CMDR, and a transfer to the RSV. But let's do this step by step. In Autumn last year, High Admiral Anahorn Dempsey informed Fleet Admiral Pellaeon and myself aboout her intention to step down as Commodore of the ISD II Hammer by the end of 2016. At once, the search for a fitting replacement began. Around the same time, Delta Commander Colonel John T. Clark, informed High Admiral Anahorn Dempsey that he'd step down around the same time as she intended tom step down, which lead to another search for a commanding officer. Both job postings could be finished successfully. High Admiral Anahorn was, by her own wish, transferred to Delta 1-4, and her General rank has been restored. I wish you all the best in your new Flight Member position, General Anahorn Dempsey. but most of all I need to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your work and dedication to the ISD II Hammer, the TIE Corps and the Emperor's Hammer over the past decade. There is nothing left to hand out to you to reflect my gratitude, as you have about everything I might hand out, so you see me standing empty handed before you. I just can hope you'll keep on doing your fantastic work for the TIE Corps database and remain active in your Flight Member position. Thanks for all you've done, Dempsey. I guess we all know, if I'd even try to name 1 % of all your work over the past decade, while being in an Admiral rank, I'd surely have to write down the longest TCCOM report ever without writing anything else. Lieutenant Colonel Miles Prower is the one that will have to fill out the gargantuan shoes left behind by the good High Admiral. Miles Prower was, after a great application and a long discussion about the applications within the TCCS, assigned as the new Commodore of the ISD II Hammer and promoted to Vice Admiral. Congratulations, Vice Admiral Miles Prower, I am sure you'll do a great job! Now on to the next Commodore position we had to give out. The ISD II Warrior Commodore Admiral Hawkins stepped down due to some real life issues and family business during the last weeks of the year. As there was quiet some administrative backlog on his desk, due to his absence for his real life issues, the SOO and I decided to install an interims Commodore, Fleet Admiral Jarek La'an, to keep the Warrior on track. As the assignment of Fleet Admiral Jarek La'an was just a temporal assignment from day one on, we were looking for applications for a new Commodore for the Warrior, and, after a heavy discussion about the applications within the TCCS, decided for Colonel Len Eode to take over the helm of the ISD II Warrior as Rear Admiral. Congratulations on your assignment and promotion, Rear Admiral Len Eode. I am sure we can expect great things from you, too! I have to thank Jarek La'an for his work as interims Commodore, during which he not only lead the ISD II Warrior in a perfect way, but also completed TWO monthly ship evaluations for the ISD II Warrior, the one for October and the one for November. With the assignment of Vice Admiral Miles Prower as Commodore of the ISD II Hammer, the Epsilon Commander position was vacant, but not for long. New Epsilon Commander is Commander Drake Starfire. Congratulations on your new assignment, Commander Drake Starfire! As Colonel John T. Clark stepped down as Delta Commander and transfered to Delta 1-2, Major Phoenix Berkana took over as Commander for Delta squadron. Thanks for all your work as Commander, Colonel John T. Clark. It's been a pleasure serving with you! Congratulations to Major Phoenix Berkana on the new assignment. As with the other new assigned command personal, I expect great things from you! The position of Sin Commander, which was vacant during Fleet Admiral Jarek La'an's assignment as interims Commodore, has been refilled with General Jarek La'an, after the new Commodore of the ISD II Warrior was assigned. Sigma is still missing a Commander, after the assignment of Rear Admiral Len Eode as Commodore. Applications should go to Rear Admiral Len Eode, cc'ed to me and the SOO, Fleet Admiral Pellaeon. In addition to these changes in the command structure, Lieutenant Commander Christopher Winchester left Kappa for the Reserves. I hope you'll find your way back to us one day! On the Emperor's Hammer level, Training Officer Admiral Tomaas Montte, decided to assign Rear Admiral Silvius as his new Training Office Assistant. Congratulations to the new position, Rear Admiral Silvius. I am sure there is quiet some work for you in the Training Office.
