FLEET NEWS

First Recon Division Mobilizes
Lord Grand Admiral Darth Rapier has sensed a dark presence coming from the unknown regions. After conferring with the current Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood and the Tie Corps Commander it has been decided that a portion of the Emperor’s Hammer Strike fleet must move to respond to this potential threat (or potential ally).
To this end the Emperor’s Hammer will be split into two groups. The First Recon Division and The Home Guard.
The First Recon Division will be formed from the most elite ships and squadrons the Emperor’s Hammer has to offer as well as moving the entire Dark Brotherhood on to the SSD Avenger and packing away supplies for an extended stay in potentially hostile territory.
The remaining ships and bases of the Emperor’s Hammer have been reformed into the Home Guard. Centered around the SSSD Sovereign and left under the command of Sector Admiral Kawolski, their sole purpose it to protect what we have and make sure we have a home to come back too.
All Emperors’ Hammer and Dark Brotherhood command staff will relocate to the SSD Avenger with all Tie Corps command staff on their appropriate flag ships.
Check the Order of Battle for exact make up.
Mission parameters include a move along galactic north into the Unknown Regions in the area of Bakura, from there we will proceed cautiously and investigate everything we can find that might give us leads on this hidden dark presence.
The purpose of the First Recon Division is not to engage the New Republic or their allies (though we will if they present a threat to our mission). We will not be stealthy (obviously) but we will not engage unless attacked. The size of the force is designed to deter weaker foes and from what recon has told me forces in the area are minimal but we will be ready at all times.

LT Elemir Veers Lost to the Deep Black

It is with great sadness that I must report that our own LT Elemir Veers has been declared AWOL and lost to us to the depths of space. I sincerely hope that he finds his way back to us in time.

EPSILON COMPETITIONS
EoR - 2020

Every week before Saturday, 06:00 UTC, Epsilon pilots submit their SC PvP/PvE/CoOp screen with the highest EFF points to SmTaUcM@Yahoo.co.uk.
In each category (PvP/PvE/COOP) the best scorer will earn 4 points, second will earn 3 points, third 2 points and every further participant 1 point. These points will be summed up.

The pilot with most points at the end of the week will earn an IS-BW. The pilot with most points at the end of the month will earn an IS-SW, second an IS-BW. The pilot with most points at the end of the year will earn an IS-SW, second an IS-BW.

For each submitted screen (max 1 per category per week) the pilot earns 1 activity point.
Every 10 activity points the pilot earns an IS-BW. When reaching 50 activity points the pilot earns an IS-SW instead and the activity points are set to 0 again.

SQUADRON COMMANDER'S ORDERS
  • Keep in touch - Contact myself and/or your FL at least once a week and report your activities and plans.
  • Keep active - Flying SP or MP, taking part in trivia, complete a IU/IWATS course.
  • Compete - With a wealth of competitions on offer, find one that piques your interest and take part.
  • Have fun! - For if we're not having fun, we're not doing something right.
CLOSING REMARKS
Apologies for being so quiet for the last 11 days. I had some planned building work done in my dining room (Where my PC is located) Which we had planned to last for only 3 days and ended up taking 10. I'm back up and running PC-wise in a basic way so your normal CMDR service has been resumed.
No I just need to play catch up.

Kindest regards and happy hunting,

SkyShadow
