Gamma Squadron Report

Weekly Report #8 – Submission date: October 23rd 2011

Introduction

Greetings,

Monthly Squadron Evaluation results were released this evening, and four Gamma members were awarded medals for their performance in September.

LC Mark Schueler has been awarded the Bronze Star of the Empire for his brilliant efforts. Both I and LC Tempest were awarded the Palpatine Crescent. COL Zosite was awarded the Imperial Security Medal! Congratulations to all of us for these well deserved awards!

The Tactical Officer has announced a new TIE Fighter mission today. TIE-Free284: Starfighter Histories: TIE Interceptor, created by the TAC herself, is available in a mission compendium near you.

Other great news this week was the announcement, by LC Tempest, of the completion of his very first TIE battle! Both I and LC Schueler have stepped forward to beta test it before its submission to the Tactical Office, and so should the rest of you. I have no doubt that the, like his released TIE-Free 263 mission, this battle will be amazing.
