SIN WEEKLY SQUADRON REPORT #29
SIN CMDR: MAJ Hav Antiel
REPORT DATE: 31 December 2017
SQUADRON COMMANDER'S CORNER
It's the end of the year, pilots. That's as good a time as any to reflect on how we've spent the last 12 months. As a squadron commander, I like to use this time to review Sin's performance and make plans for the year ahead.

Fifteen pilots flew for Sin Squadron in 2017; of those, only seven remain. One transferred to another squadron before joining the reserves. Seven were lost in battle (or, well... to AWOL, technically). Two pilots from January's roster are still flying for Sin. Let's look at these brave 15, the pilots who made this squadron in 2017 (in order of when they joined Sin Squadron).
  • COL Wraith
    • Reactivated to Sin in June '14
    • AWOL (September)
  • MAJ Wondra
    • Reactivated to Sin in September '14
    • Active
  • MAJ Xavier Sienar
    • Reactivated to Sin in August '15
    • Active
  • LT stevenpowell
    • Joined TC in September '16
    • AWOL (August)
  • GN Jarek La'an
    • Took command in October '16
    • Transferred to Theta in May
    • Joined Reserves in November
  • CPT Dante
    • Reactivated to Sin in December '16
    • AWOL (May)
  • LC Earnim Branet
    • Reactivated to Sin in March
    • Became FL in May
    • Active
  • SL Splat Cat AU
    • Joined TC in April
    • AWOL (July)
  • MAJ Hav Antiel
    • Took command in May
    • Active
  • SL Adwan Yokcha
    • Joined the TC in May
    • AWOL (September)
  • MAJ Spiffy the Chicken
    • Transferred to Sin in August
    • Active
  • LCM Rando
    • Joined TC in August
    • Became FL in November
    • Active
  • GN Exar Kit
    • Transferred to Sin in August
    • Active
  • LT Eren Iren
    • Joined the TC in September
    • AWOL (December)
  • SL Acura
    • Joined the TC in November
    • AWOL (pending)
I take no pride in the number of AWOLs on this list. I know that RL comes first, and I never take an AWOL decision lightly. It was very difficult to say goodbye to COL Wraith, a former Sin CMDR and a member of the squadron since its reactivation in June, 2014.

That being said, it's worth noting the accomplishments of the fresh faces like LCM Rando and the rejuvenated pilots who returned from the Phoenix like LC Branet. Our success as a squadron and as a TIE Corps relies on our ability to recruit new talent and stoke the fires of pilots already among us.

COMPETITIONS

I will summarize competitions that apply to Sin in this section, but you should always check the Competitions Center and Combat Center for full details on all competitions.

  • The Price of Sin - This is a weekly competition with a separate IS-BW awarded to the pilot earning the greatest number of LoC/LoS or highest number of SP missions flown. Minimum criteria for award is 2+ pilots participating across any of the 3 categories.

  • Warrior Trivia - Each week, Plif will send out a link pointing to five trivia questions for Wing II pilots to answer. The trivia questions will come from the canon Star Wars Universe and various Emperor's Hammer manuals, including the TIE Corps Pilot Manual. Whoever correctly answers all five questions the fastest wins an IS-BR.

  • TIE Corps on Patrol - Each Saturday, Woody will announce a free mission for TIE, XvT and XWA. Your mission: earn the highest score. For each platform, the weekly winner will receive an IS-SW, and second will receive an IS-BW. Participants also accumulate points for their participation.

  • TIE Corps on Recon - Submit a screenshot each week from one of Star Conflict's multiplayer game modes (Domination, Beacon Hunt, PvE, Team Battle, and Combat Recon). Iron Stars are awarded weekly and monthly based on unique criteria for each game mode.

  • TIE Corps vs AI - Submit a screenshot each week from Star Conflict's Player vs. AI modes. Iron Stars are awarded weekly and monthly based on unique criteria for each game mode.

Have a wonderful, safe, and happy new year celebration, pilots. Here's to making 2018 the year of the Sinner!
