From the Desk of Silwar Naiilo
A lone pair of TIE fighters wove through a rubble-filled asteroid field, dodging rocks and ancient wrecks alike. They were on patrol duty, scouting for pirates- or worse, Rebels- before Battlegroup III was to arrive to scavenge anything useful from the debris. 'I've got a signature. Unidentifiable craft type,' Silwar called out over the radio. 'Probably an ugly.' Silwar scanned the field for a sign of a cobbled-together craft, built out of TIE and Alphabet fighter parts. 'I've got it targeted, engaging!' came the response from LCM Neko. The pair rounded an asteroid and caught a glimpse of a highly unusual ship, darting between the rocks.
LCM Marek Ny'Irfa has regrettably been removed from Tempest squadron after months of no contact. He was a highly active pilot beforehand; we hope all is well with him.
Neko announces the winners of December 2020 'Stay in the Lines':
First Place: Kalve Ryder
Second Place: Graf D'Jinn
Third Place: Morgoth
Out of ten entries, LCM Neko had the difficult decision of picking the top three. That means an IS-GR will be awarded to Kalve, SR to Graf, and BR to Morgoth. Congrats to the winners!
It's a new month, which means a new round for Stay in the Lines. Here's LCM Neko's latest picture:
