REPORTING OFFICER: Admiral Plif, Strategic Operations Officer

NEWS

The Trivia Grand Tour's second season wrapped up this past weekend. Congratulations to the new Trivia Grand Tour Champion, LC Repulsor! Season Three will start up in a month or so, and I have a couple of ideas for switching up the formula that I want to take a look at.

If you complete a new Imperial University course, as some pilots have done in the past couple of days, you'll notice that your EH database profile gets updated automatically but not your TC database profile. The latter are updated manually by me and the TCCOM, give us a day or two after your test is graded for the new course to appear in your TC profile.

The TCCOMA, COL Pellaeon, has reached the end of his current tour of duty and has decided not to continue in the role. Big thanks to Pellaeon for continuing to help support the Corps even after his term as TCCOM! The COO is now running TCoR, I'm tracking CoBs, the TCCOM is tracking FCHG Career Awards, and the TAC will be running AotTC.

It's evaluation time again and I've already received one ship evaluation, big thanks to the leaders aboard the Warrior for getting those put together so quickly!

REMINDERS

MAJ Aldaric's running the TIE Corps Holiday Tournament for us with flying and non-flying assignments weekly until mid-January. Check out the description here. The final round of assignments went out on the 5th, see Aldaric's email on the TC Mailing List for the links.

MP Nights for XvT and XWA on Thursdays at 5:30 Pacific are still running, we meet up in the Hangar voice channel in TC Discord.

SOO'S AGENDA

DONE:

Wrapped up the Trivia Grand Tour
Finally submitted some ideas for the TCCOM's Top Muse competition... just in time for that competition to end :o
Sent out an updated policy regarding evaluations
Scoured flight records and awarded the Commendation of Bravery to seven officers that had earned one but not received it yet, for various reasons

IN PROGRESS:

Working on a couple of competition ideas
Awaiting FTP access to upload the updated TCCORE
Imperial University course credit: The TCCS, CMDRs, and Theta Squadron are updated, working on everyone else

ONGOING:

Approving awards, competitions, and uniforms, correcting submissions as needed
Keeping track of CoB eligibility

PENDING:

Putting aside some time to take TM/3
TIE Corps Pilot Manual update
Squadron Management 5
Change how I display awards in reports. I know end of year awards are only once a year, but there's gotta be a better way :o

AWARDS

	AD Miles Prower AD Miles Prower has been a good friend and confidant since I rejoined the fleet nearly two years ago, even as a lowly Warrior FM. He is also one of the most friendly pilots; though, he can be a bit harsh when I fly into rocks... He has now served as a rock for the fleet as the Hammer Commodore for two years. Over the two years he has provided many pilots with a wise and helping hand, including myself. I hereby award AD Miles Prower with the Grand Order of the Emperor for his service. You earned it buddy!
	GN Elwood the Brave GN Elwood the Brave has just concluded a 9 month Tour of Duty as Commander of Epsilon Squadron. During his tenure, he flawlessly executed his duties and even left with the squadron fully staffed! For his dedication in the position, I hereby award him the Gold Star of the Empire.

	CPT Rando CPT Rando is like a high-score-seeking missile. No HS is safe when he's in the cockpit. However, the good Captain has begun to make a name for himself as an equally skilled MP pilot to boot. These last three months, Rando has earned enough LoCs and LoSs to rank among the top four Warrior pilots in MP missions, thus earning a spot on my Escort Flight (and, in this case, an Iron Star with Silver Wings). Keep it up, Captain!

The Commendation of Bravery (CoB) is awarded to pilots that have completed at least 30 missions. While I was looking through profiles to see if any pilots had fulfilled the requirement but not received the CoB yet, I found a few surprises!
