REPORTING OFFICER: Admiral Plif, Strategic Operations Officer

NEWS

This week, the Warrior's October Evaluation was returned to the WarCOM and the merit medals have been awarded. Congratulations to CPT Rando, COL Earnim Branet, GN Ric Hunter, and RA Hav Antiel!

Medals of Communication for October are being processed next, I'll have some time over this long holiday weekend to sit down and work on those. If I get the Hammer's evaluation soon, I can process their MoCs as well...

MP Nights on Thursdays at 5:30pm Pacific continue, with last week's event featuring an appearance from LT CrazyCarl. We played a few rounds of XWA PvE, jokes were made, fun was had. With it being Thanksgiving Day here in the U.S., I figure attendance will be light but I encourage everyone who can make it to jump online at the normal time. AD Prower mentioned being available Friday and Saturday, so look for him in Discord or GameRanger if you've got some free time over the weekend.

Week Fifteen of the Trivia Grand Tour had a screenshot that tripped up a lot of players, but not our winners for the week. Congratulations to LC Repulsor and LCM Steve Dermody! Week Sixteen's URL is http://tc.emperorshammer.org/timetest.php?testid=392921. Remember, the answers are the movie the screenshot came from.

AWARDS

	CPT Rando CPT Rando continued his impressive flying in October, completing 27 missions and setting 5 new mission and battle high scores and earning a haul of competition medals in the process. For this level of activity, I recommend the Bronze Star of the Empire.
	COL Earnim Branet COL Earnim Branet continues to shine as both CMDR and pilot. In October, Branet flew 15 SP missions, earned 34 LoCs, 83 LoSs, and racked up 28 Iron Stars. For this impressive level of activity, I recommend the Bronze Star of the Empire.
	RA Hav Antiel In October, RA Hav Antiel continued his excellent service as WarCOM with 76 completed SP and MP missions, a win in the COO's Star Wars Challenge earned with the help of consistent participation in our MP Nights, and updates made to the Encyclopaedia Imperia for the benefit of all members of the EH. For his service to the Corps and the wider EH, the TCCOM and I bestow upon him the Bronze Star of the Empire.
	GN Ric Hunter With 56 missions completed and 02 LoSs GN Ric Hunter has shown that he still belongs to the most active pilots of the ISD Warrior. For his excellent performance he receives the Palpatine Crescent medal.
	CPT Rando CPT Rando has been a member of my escort flight for a ninth month now, having been one of the Warrior's top pilots in October. As a result, he's also one of the top briefing attendees and I like to this this medal is actually for that instead.
	LCM Steve Dermody LCM Steve Dermody took second place in Week Fifteen of the Trivia Grand Tour!
	LC Repulsor LC Repulsor was the winner of Week Fifteen of the Trivia Grand Tour!
	COL Earnim Branet TIE Corps on Recon 2018 - Week 46: 1st place 16 with points
	COL Earnim Branet COL Earnim Branet continued a history of being one of the Warrior's top pilots by being in the top four again for October, earning a seventh month in my illustrious escort flight. It might be more of an escort sit or escort stand at attention since I never leave the briefing room, but in any case, I appreciate his dedication to keeping me and my briefing room safe from harm.
	COL Gyssler EoP - Week 32 - 1st TIE, XvT and XWA sections
	COL Gyssler EoP - Week 32 - 1st TIE, XvT and XWA sections
	COL Gyssler EoP - Week 32 - 1st TIE, XvT and XWA sections
	COL Gyssler EoP - accumulating another 10 activity points
	COL Pellaeon EoR - week 32 - 1st place
	GN Anahorn Dempsey TIE Corps on Recon 2018 - Week 46: 2nd place 15 with points
	GN Pickled Yoda October was the fifth month that GN Pickled Yoda has earned the honor of being a member of my escort flight. He'd spent a few months off the list, but then here we are again. I'd tell him to get a job, but I was reminded that this is, in fact, his job here. So... carry on, I suppose.
	GN Ric Hunter Another General appeared on the list of top SP pilots from the Warrior for October. I can only wonder at what compels an officer at that level to take on the enemy directly instead of training and instructing more expendable personnel to perform these mundane tasks. There's no higher pursuit than the formulation of battle plans and the overseeing of their execution from a position far removed of the drudgery of the combat itself.
