REPORTING COMMANDER: Captain Genie. Squadron Commander
TO: Lambda Squadron, RA Phoenix Berkana Hammer's Commodore
DATE SUBMITTED: 30th November 28 ABS

Whether it's SWS, XWA, MnM, XvT, TF or Xwing, I hope you've been busy shooting down plenty of Rebel turkeys to celebrate Thanksgiving.

SWS is the current flavour of the day, month and potentially year. However, there is a certain beauty in the old games that ohly a mission editor will ever dethrone. I still ache for an upgraded 'TIE Fighter' (the game) experience with full immersion.

Our 9th Lambda's Star Wars Trivia is now out. Trivias will now span from Sunday to Sunday, giving you two Sunday-chances to complete it. In addition, the pilot with the fastest time (even if you don't get all the questions right), will earn +1 point.

We have a potential 'Sith' project brewing, more on this later (looking at you MrSpywalker).

Somewhere near the Minos System...

More stories 'soon' (tm), including the origin story of the Lambda Squadron.

For now, for the sake of my own sanity, I have removed the arrows. May re-introduce them at a later stage.

Started to fly TIE Fighter again. Using the TCIB and Lambda competitions as an incentive. Unfortunately, left it too late, near the end of the month. I am looking to continue making my custom TIE Fighter campaign. I believe in 1-2 more weeks I will be able to start dishing out newly created missions again.
