From the Desk of Silwar Naiilo

Last month, Tempest Squadron had a competition called 'Better Know your Spacefighters.' In it, each pilot was asked to set their personal ship and its name in their profile, and send me either a fiction entry, picture, or a description of their ship. Additionally,it was suggested that they review the ESET and ISET IU courses for ideas. (LT Honsou, LT Wrecker, LC Phalk Sturm, CPT Kalve Ryder, and I all received 100% on one or both exams- congrats! We had 100% participation with an entry from every pilot in the squadron. The chosen ships and names were:

  • COL Silwar Naiilo: TIE Defender 'Nightgleam'
  • LCM Neko: Y-Wing 'The Onyx Miggie'
  • LCM Iam Thinking: Missile Boat 'About It'
  • CM Richlet: TIE Defender 'Mr. Grumpypants'
  • LCM EchoVII: B-Wing 'Cardi B-Wing'
  • LT Wrecker: TIE Interceptor 'Czr's Palace'
  • CPT Kalve Ryder: Assault Gunboat 'Firestorm'
  • LC Phalk Sturm: a custom Hanley-Davinsarr Hover Star Cycle FXHSC
  • LT Morgoth: Firespray Attack Ship 'Reigning Death'
  • LT Honsou: TIE Reaper 'Tempestas Ferri'

The winners of the compeition are: LC Phalk Sturm, who put together the technical specification for a brand-new ship of his own design as well as a work of fiction in which he flies it, and LT Honsou with a riveting tale of the experience he had as a cadet in a TIE Reaper. Runners-up are LCM Neko with a drawing of her Y-Wing and LCM EchoVII with a poem about her B-Wing. Everyone's entries were great, but unfortunately I can only pick a couple winners!

Stay in the Lines February is over! Congratulations to the winners:

First Place: Turtle Jerrar

In Closing

I shall leave you with EchoVII's poem:

'Me and my Cardi B-Wing'
B-Wing, B-Wing, you're my kind of bling.
You look like a hornet getting ready to sting.
When we fly our enemies curse like Cardi B.
Your Gyro/Aux module is the Right Auxiliary...
The left, Proton Bombs are sure not to miss,
As you soar like a bird through the Zavian Abyss.
