In the ongoing Imperial Storm exercise, the Battle of Ordina should be wrapping up soon with the deadline for submissions behind us. More news as it develops!

In the first month of the new Escort Flight competitions, the following pilots secured a spot in the flights and an IS-BW:

• Commodore's Escort Flight - MP
1. LC Earnim Branet
2. MAJ Keth Aalith
3. GN Dunta Polo
• Wing Commander's Escort Flight - SP
1. MAJ Hav Antiel
2. LC Earnim Branet
3. CM Rando
4. GN Pickled Yoda and COL Mark Schueler - Tied because I didn't include a tie breaker!

In TCAI Week 4, your fearless leader and LC Earnim Branet once again took first (IS-SW) and second (IS-BW) place. Well done, Branet!

CM Rando won all three sections of TCoP Round Two (IS-SWx3), which earned him first place for the week (IS-SW), and set two new high scores in the process. His performance for the month earned him the top spot for the month as well (IS-GW). Great work!

In TCoR Week 4, LC Earnim Branet tied for first place for the week (IS-SW) and performance for the month brought him to a second place finish for the month (IS-SW). Way to go!

With January now behind us as well, it's time again for squadron evaluations to make their way up to the COM for inclusion in the ship evaluation, which is then sent up to the bosses for promotion and award recommendations. CMDRs, to your datapads!
