Pete Gets Injured Pete landed
his TIE Guardian in the hangar bay of his last ship and the TIE Corps Flagship,
the ISDII Warrior. When he exited, VA
Hav Antiel and LC Nile Rosenau were waiting for him. “Welcome Fleet Admiral!” “Thanks
Hav. It’s good to see you again! And same to you Rosenau! Congrats again on taking command of Theta!” “Thank you,
Sir. It’s an honor.” “Well,
since we’ve got a new Commander, let’s see what Theta can do. I’ll see you in the Briefing room.” “Roger, see
you in 15.” In the
briefing room, things were pretty standard. Pete stood in the back and
listened. “We have the honor of the
TIE Corps Commander joining us for our training exercises today to see what
we can do. We’ll start with the
standard drills, then we’ll see how we do against FA Mitchell and VA Antiel. Finally, we will step up the challenge with
Sin Squadron joining in. Keep aware of
your surroundings out there and communicate!” Pete was
back in his TIE Guardian observing the last of Theta’s drills before he and
Hav joined in. Rosenau called in over
the radio, “Admirals, we are ready for you.” “Roger,
coming in hot!” Pete and Hav hit the
throttle and shot out towards the furball that was
Theta at the moment. Pete quickly
observed the squad forming into 6 loose pairs. “This won’t
be easy.” Pete commented to Hav over
the radio. “On the count of 3, break
right. 1, 2, 3!” Pete broke
left while Hav went right. 4 Theta
ships followed each of them, while another 4 hung back. Pete and Hav swung around and back towards
each other. As they approached each
other, they started rolling and firing in a synchronized motion and each took
“out” a couple of Theta pilots following the other. Then, then other 4 Thetans
that were hanging back swooped in and took both of them “out”. “Alright,
at least you guys can handle 2 on 12!” Pete said. Just then a couple alarms went off in his
cockpit. “Admiral! We’ve got multiple bogies coming in from
hyperspace!” called in the officer on deck from the Warrior. “It’s two
squadrons of TIE Defenders!” Pete swung
around to meet the new foes. “Scramble
Sin squadron now, and get the rest of the wing launched!” Pete, Hav
and Theta meanwhile headed straight for the enemy. “Hav and I will take the flanks. Theta, you take the middle and see what you
can do.” A couple
TIE’s went for Pete and Hav, but they were able to address them in the same
manner they had just done before. Pete
then swung back closer to the Warrior and took out another that was stuck
behind LT SL8c8. Just then Pete’s TIE
shook violently and things got fuzzy and he looked up just in time to see the
Warrior in his viewing glass a little too close. Pete’s TIE
Guardian slammed into the Warrior and broke into pieces. Pete was pinned there and screaming, though
no one could hear him… Sin made it
out of the Hangar and was able to help keep the enemies occupied while the
rescue team came out for Pete. Pete woke
up on a bed in sick bay. “How are you
doing Pete?” Asked Hav. “Oh, not
bad. I’m sure I’ll be back in action
in no time. Just a little stretch of
my knees while I was pinned.” Pete sat
up and made to stand up. As soon as he
put weight on his legs, he collapsed forward.
“Ok, maybe it will be a little bit…” “We better
get you to some bacta…” Hav shook his head. |

May the 4th
be with you! Happy Star Wars Day! My report
was delayed a bit this week due to some difficulties with my knees arising
from a hockey game… This week
we welcomed Crane Baxa to the fleet from PLT
Daedalus and also celebrated his promotion shortly thereafter! As it is
Star Wars Day, GOG has all Star Wars games on sale, so if there are some you
need, now is the time! Finally, as
it is a new month, it is MSE time again!
With Plif’s new spreadsheets, it should be
faster and easier, so get them in quickly! Congratulations
to GN Pickled Yoda for taking first place in TCiB
in April! The assignments for May are
listed after the April results below. The
Saturday evening TC vs RS MP night is now official, so show up at 7 pm EST/4
pm pacific for those matches and work towards a DFC! TC folks
are still meeting up on Thursdays, though we have changed the time to 8pm

TIE Corps in Battle 2019: April Results:
Overall:
Annual Standings:
May Assignments: XvT-TC-40: Leaders of the New Republic XWA-TC-17: Secrets and Lies: The Exile BSF’s are due by
Midnight GMT May 31st. Rules: Every month, there
will be a full battle from each of the
major SP platforms (TIE, XvT, XWA) assigned. Pilots will fly each
battle that they choose and BSF the battles to the TC database and forward
the BSF email to Pete Mitchell. If the pilot has earned a high
score, BSF it and also send the pilot file to Pete Mitchell in case the BSF
is not approved in time. Please also forward the BSF confirmation to
Pete Mitchell as well. Each month the pilot
with the highest score in each platform will earn 10 points. The
next highest score will earn 9, the next highest 8, then 7, then 6 and so on. All submissions will earn at least 5
points. Any mission high scores, will earn 1 bonus point, and any
battle high scores will earn 2 bonus points.
High scores are determined at the time the BSF was submitted. If a high score is beat by another pilot in
the same competition that submitted after, both pilots will receive the bonus
points. If a pilot submits a BSF that
would have been a high score, but was beat by another pilot that submitted
before, no bonus points will be awarded to the second submission. Points will accumulate for the year for
more awards. Participation points
will also be tallied by ship and squadron.
One point per battle flown.
Flying participants of top participating ships and squadrons will earn
extra rewards. Awards: Annual: IS-PW/GW/SW for 1st 2nd and
3rd total points for the year. (at least 5
