From the Desk of Silwar Naiilo
Tempest, unsurprisingly, has furthered its lead in TIE Corps in Battle. We now hold 140 points; Lambda is in second with 96, followed by Sin with 71. Last month we had missions flown by LC Phalk Sturm (who took second place in TIE), myself (who took third...), LT Coldsnacks, LCM Morgoth, and LCM Wreckage. The more the better - let's try for a 100 point lead! We only have until the end of next month, but it's possible.
We flew as the 'Storm Knights' in the Cadet Cup, our first fleet battles competition. While we didn't win, we learned a lot thanks to LCM Honsou's leadership and advice. We continue to hone our tactics through LCM Wreckage's Tempest Raid Nights as well, which are temporarily Mondays and Wednesdays at 930pm EST. LCM Wreckage also took place in the Twin Suns fleet battles tournament, with a $20,000 prize at stake, fighting against thebest teams in the world. The finals are absolutely worth watching!
LCM Wreckage is hosting 'Tempest King of the Mountain', a 1v1 Squadrons tournament. It offically started this week, and the first rounds should be completed by May 22. The first round will be:
- LT Coldsnacks vs LC Phalk Sturm
- CM Neko vs LCM EchoVII
- COL Silwar vs LT Akreseus
- LCM Morgoth vs CM Richlet
- LCM Honsou and LCM Wreckage have a bye.
May TCiB assignments are due May 31:

Top priority are the TCiB battles; besides those, these are some of the missions we're close to earning citations on. Check our status on the Squadron Battleboard.
