REPORTING COMMANDER: Commander Genie. Squadron Commander
TO: Lambda Squadron, RA Phoenix Berkana Hammer's Commodore
DATE SUBMITTED: 9th November 28 ABY

HA Elwood the Brave has now formally stepped as Commodore of the Hammered. I hope this means, we continue to see you in the battlefield! A great welcome to RA Phoenix Berkana (whispers: hide the booze).

A big welcome to our newest member, LT Spywalker, who barely joined and has already been promoted to a LT!

Today marks the beginning of our 6th Lambda's Star Wars Trivia.

With Squadrons in full force, we now also start to shift our attention to other games, namely some SP gaming with TIE Fighter, XvT and XWA. The full details can be found under the Lambda Competitions List below. Remember to send in, at evghenios@yahoo.com (or on discord), your Squadrons dogfight kill-death ratio, win-rating and current fleet rank for the three Lambda Squadrons Competitions.

Yesterday, we had our second Lambda Expedition into Squadrons, with a nice set of squadron wins and a mystery pilot, going only by the name of Pilot Error, shooting down fighters from both sides. LCM Highlander, LT Corran Shub, LT Freeman Phrick and CM Genie were on flying duty while LT Spywalker was responsible for gathering intelligence.

Lambda, you are slipping up on Spot the Error! Let's just say... Cornelia is watching you!

Today, for our creative corner, I am posting below a great graphic created by one of our own, LT Graf, as part of the competition for a new banner for SIN.

The Emperor's Hammer has been holding its own in the Power Hour. The Power Hour is 5-player premade teams battling against each other by synchronizing the matchup queue. Last Saturday, we were 2-2 and both losses were agonizingly close. It is ironic that the Power Hour will soon be shifting to Fleet Battles.

I am attempting to streamline the weekly Lambda Report, as it currently takes me a long time to put everything together. Thank you Silwar for that GONK API, it definitely helps! In the future, I plan to extract the styling outside of the body and into proper CSS (but not quite yet). Signing off for this week.
