Gamma Squadron Report

Weekly Report #10 – Submission date: November 6th 2011

Introduction

Greetings,

If it was announced somewhere, I’ve clearly missed it, so I’d like to congratulate the TIE Corps Commander, Jedi Eclipse, on his promotion to Fleet Admiral! You’ve earned it, sir!

A Fleet wide fiction competition has been announced by the TCCOM! The topic, inspired in Halloween, is: “A TIE Corps Ghost Story”. You can check the details in the Competition’s Center below. Please note that submissions are due tomorrow!! Run!!

With the end of October some competitions have met their monthly conclusion! The Black of Black (aka Pilot of the Month) winner for October is LC Tempest, for his constant presence and personal achievements, which brings Gamma to a higher level among the fleet. Congratulations, Temp!

Sadly the Master Mighty Mission of the Week competition had no winner, since none of you lazy drinkers bothered to fly one of the assigned missions. Booh! Be advised that this month’s installment starts immediately. The first mission is a TIE, don’t you dare not fly it!

Gamma’s Monthly Squadron Evaluation for October has been submitted a few days ago. At this point, we only expect approval from the SOO. There probably will be more bad news than good this time, but there’s nothing I can do about that. I’ll keep you posted.

The SOO has mailed the Squadron Commanders with preliminary details on the coming Fleet wide flying competition. It will be announced soon, so get ready for action!!

Beta test of Tempest’s battle is completed. One of the best battles I’ve flown, with many new things introduced, and absolutely no bugs at all. Congratulations, Temp, I look forward to seeing it on the compendium and getting crazy for going after its high scores!

No! Gamma will have more gold than anyone in the 2012 Olympics! We also intend to win the World Cup in 2014.

Gaaah! x_X

Ewok of the Week

Yub Yub!

Every story has a hero, every journey has a first step, every Fleet has a pilot who's about as much use as an ashtray on a speeder bike. This weeks's Prize Ewok is none other than:
