| The
Life Day celebrations on the Challenge
were over, and had encompassed the recommissioning ceremony of Eagle
Squadron. The hangovers were long gone, and those who still complained
were now resting in the brig for 'conduct unbecoming' - further
malingering would not be tolerated, there was work to be done as the
end of the year closed. Stryker nursed a steaming cup of caf as he
worked on his Squadron report - he'd lost three pilots to the reformed
Eagle which had stung, but he still had a solid core of pilots to work
with - he'd retained the pilots who were arguably among the best in
Wing X. Looking out over the hangar, he saw the Eagle techs scrubbing corrosion and dust off of the twelve X-Wings. He'd been lucky in that Firebird's craft had been stored aboard the Renegade as spares and kept in relatively good condition, while Eagle's had been left on the mothballed Warspite and neglected. Still, they would fly again one day, and between the two Infiltrator squadrons aboard the Challenge, they were going to wreak more than their fair share of mayhem... |

| Eagle
is open! With its opening we lose Major Jade, Colonel Blackheart and
Lieutenant Hawkins. We'll miss them (kind of), but their success is our
success - we're almost an Infiltrator Wing
again, not just an Infiltrator Squadron. Lieutenant Turel was promoted to Lieutenant Commander for his excellent service to Firebird, the Challenge, and the TIE Corps in general! Colonel Zekk Terrik has abandoned his plan to be the longest-serving Sin CMDR and make General in order to become Warrior Commodore. May the fates have mercy on his soul. Replacing him as Sin CMDR is the more-than-capable LCM Robert Hogan, who will be an excellent successor. December MSE time is upon us already! Make sure to get any last-minute activity submitted on or around December 30th (not 31st) to ensure it's counted on the database! |

| Lots
of medals awarded from November's MSEs, which I hope to see duplicated
in December's! This was my twelfth report as Firebird CMDR and what a
whirlwind it's been these last three months! We're finally saying
goodbye to 2020, and there's not another squadron in the TC I'd rather
have spent the last eternity with! Happy New Year, everyone! COL Stryker |
