REPORTING OFFICER: Fleet Admiral Plif, TIE Corps Commander
DATE SUBMITTED: 15 Jul 20
ACTIVE DUTY ROSTER COUNT: 110 (+4) Including 2 NPCs
TCCOM'S WINGMAN: HA Elwood the Brave

The roster is up four this week, which is a more modest increase than we've seen in my last two reports but we're still growing and that's how we want it to be. Many thanks to the folks that have been getting the word out about us.

To do my part, I've been removing all the members from the mailing list for the Reserves and then adding the Phoenix's roster. I included a link to the Discord server in the notification that was sent to the officers that I added to the list, and I was pleased to see a handful of veterans join us on Discord the very same day. Hopefully we'll have more as I continue to add members to the list and more of them check their email. There's also more I want to say to the Reservists, so I'll be writing them an actual message once the list is complete.

Delta Squadron has transferred from the ISDII Hammer to the ISDII Challenge and become Thunder Squadron. They have a new patch courtesy of MAJ Tygra Shadowclaw and GN Phoenix Berkana has already put out the first Thunder WSR. Looking good so far, Thunder!

At the end of Imperial Storm 2, the Warrior team controlled most of the system and even caused the loss of the ISDII Hammer herself in the final battle. To the Warrior and her pilots, well done! To the crew of the Hammer, better luck next time! To GN Phoenix Berkana, excellent work on running the event and staying on top of everything that goes into an Imperial Storm.

As often happens at report time, the leadership has a few things we're discussing before making any announcements. And then the announcements tend to be separate emails, which makes the TCCOM Report in particular just a recap of things you already know. I'll work on having some more interesting things in my reports for you in the future.

If you’d like to submit something for the newsletter, just attach the file to an email and send it to me. If it‘s something that’s already been uploaded somewhere, just email me the URL.

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, 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.
