From the Desk of Silwar Naiilo
A white curl of smoke rose from the end of a cigar pressed into an ashtray on Colonel Silwar Naiilo's desk, momentarily forgotten as he sipped a pale-yellow glass of “Whisklenge”, the latest advancement in Challenge drinking technology. It only barely reminded one of paint thinner. The Imperial Holonet terminal blinked to life as Silwar made yet another pass at attempting to decipher the IO's systems. This time, an hour would go by before the terminal shut itself off and Admiral Jerrar would send agents on a rampage through the crew quarters on the Challenge...
This week sees a number of MSE merit medals go out, and a few still being processed. We have seen Silver Stars, ISMs, and a few surprises that are still being worked on. Activity in Squadrons has picked up as well, with over 33 LoCs and LoSs distributed, and TIE, XvT, and XWA battles ongoing. Good luck with the TCCOM's mad attempt at a competition, with Lord of the TIEs!
Just a reminder of the TIE Corps in Battle orders:
