NEWS

The December evaluations are all wrapped up now, medals have been being recommended and all the ones that've been awarded so far appear below in the restored awards section below. This edition has all the awards that've gone out since the beginning of January.

There and Back Again: A COMPOST Tale ends in three days, so there’s still time to complete TIE-TC 244 and submit a review!

REMINDERS

With Episode IX in theaters and The Mandalorian having concluded its first season, we’d like any spoiler discussions to take place in the Telegram channel we’ve set aside for anyone who’s ready to chat about the latest things happening in the Star Wars Universe. To join up, ask about the spoiler chat in the TIE Corps Discussion group and one of us will send you an invite.

If you complete a new Imperial University course, 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, please give us a couple of days after your test is graded for the new course to appear in your TC profile before you email us about it.

AWARDS

	GN Earnim Branet From COM/VA Hav Antiel: In the last 14 months as Sin CMDR, GN Earnim Branet has led his squadron with distinction, skill, and dedication. GN Branet led by example, demonstrating exemplary flight activity and issuing reports every week. His communication efforts illustrate his friendly nature and his care for his fellow Sinners. I've come to rely on GN Branet for his steady activity and supportive responses, and I am thankful for his years of support and service. I'm proud to recommend that GN Branet receive the Gold Star of the Empire to recognize him for his long-standing service to Sin Squadron and to the TIE Corps as a whole. From TCCOM/FA Pete Mitchell: Hav said it perfectly, so what he said. From SOO/FA Plif: Far be it from me to try to top what’s already a great recommendation for an outstanding officer. Well done, GN Branet!

How the MoC is earned: In the monthly evaluations, each leader in the TIE Corps (CMDR+) lists all of the pilots that have checked in that month or communicated in a public forum. Those members are awarded an MoC with an oak cluster based on how many times they've earned the MoC in the past.

Oak Clusters: The MoC is always awarded with an oak cluster (MoC-boc, MoC-soc, etc.). For first two awards, it's a Bronze Oak Cluster. From there, the third award is Silver, the fourth and fifth awards are Bronze, the sixth award is Gold, the seventh and eighth awards are Bronze, the ninth award is Platinum, the tenth and eleventh awards are Bronze, and then the twelfth award is Diamond. After that, the cycle begins anew.
