ISD WARRIOR WEEKLY REPORT #28

REPORTING OFFICER: Rear Admiral Zekk Terrik
DATE SUBMITTED: August 2 2021
FROM THE DESK OF THE COMMODORE

We are in the middle of a vicious fight for control of Catinmycar. While things look grim for us, we are dealing a vicious blow to the Challenge's fleet. We have roughly 24 hours left...let's keep fighting!

MSEs have come down for 3 out of 5 squadrons already, and wow am I impressed! This has been the best month of my tenure as WarCOM by far. Special shoutout to Sin Squadron who had 10 out of 11 members medal! Looks like CM Wreckage finally has that Challenge stank off of him.

I have attached the most recent iteration of Riddles of the Jawa Aardvark, but please take your time solving it. I'd rather see you flying, don't forget the bonus question! I just want to mention that this run will last TWO weeks. I will not be issuing a report next week as I am taking off with Mrs. Zekk for an anniversary trip. I will be largely unreachable from August 8th to 11th.

On another note, I've been WarCOM for 7 months as of today. I am looking for a bit of feedback for my performance...meant to do this at 6 months but I forgot. You have until the end of the month to fill it out. It's only 5 questions, not long. Don't expect everyone to do it but I'd like to see most people do it. New guys, you don't have to do it unless you really want to. I will be dropping it in my reports for August, and your CMDRs will too. I really, really encourage you to please be as HONEST as possible. I won't airlock you...too hard. Depending on your answers I may DM you for a follow-up chat. I'd really appreciate your time as I'm really trying to get better and try new things, and make our ship better as well. You can find the link to the survey right here.

    SHIP COMPETITIONS

  • Riddles of the Aardvark

    Like every Jawa Aardvark, LT WarperJawa MAJ Aardvark of Sin Kappa speaks in riddles and virtually impossible to understand Galactic Basic. As a translation tool, he has provided the Commodore with a series of riddles and puzzles to be included in every ISD Warrior report.

    Unfortunately, the Commodore is far, far too dumb to figure them out and needs the help of the pilots of Wing II to sort them out.

    ---

    Every week, RA Zekk will include a new puzzle designed by LT WarperJawa MAJ Aardvark in the Warrior report. The first pilot of Wing II to return a fully correct puzzle to me will receive 5 points, the second will receive 4 points, and the third will receive 3 points. Every entry after that will receive 1 point. You will also receive 1 point for answering the weekly bonus question correctly, and an IS-CR for every 4 entries regardless of where you placed. These will be determined by the timestamp on the email you send.

    Starting this week, you may also spend one point and receive a hint! You may do this as many times as you want, but you will always receive a minimum of 1 point no matter how many points you spend.

    Naturally, neither myself nor LT WarperJawa MAJ Aardvark will be participating since we have the answers. ;)

    This week's bonus question: What is the home planet of our glorious Emperor?

    • FLEET COMPETITIONS

    Here’s some fleet-wide competitions currently going on:

  • SP Ace of the TIE Corps 2021

    • Every Single Player mission flown earns the pilot a point on the Kill Board and the top three pilots at the end of the month earn medals. Yearly, the top four pilots earn medals.

    Each mission only counts once for the year, but missions flown in previous years can be reflown for points on the Kill Board (but not additional FCHG points). The Kill Board statistics on the TIE Corps website are final. IS-GW/SW/BW for top 3 monthly, at the end of the year the top 4 pilots win IS-PW/GW/SW/BW. The top pilot at the end of the year also receives the title of SP Ace of the TIE Corps 2021.

  • Guess the Uniform!

    Every week you will be presented with five uniforms. You have to guess to which pilot that uniform belongs to. +1 point per correct answer. Score ties are settled by the time it took to solve it (shortest time being best). Be warned the questions will get progressively more difficult!

  • Imperial Storm III

    Imperial Storm is a turn based war-game that pits all three Battlegroups against the others over a map of the planetary systems that we are currently near.

    The teams will do battle against each other for control of the map, earning points for holding systems and attempting to deprive the enemy of their own.

    Battles are fought using a scoring system that takes into account all Legion (LoC/LoS) earned during the combat window, alongside the average scores of a teams top 4 SP pilots.

    Full rules can be found here: http://www.isdhammer.org/ImperialStorm_III.pdf

    The winning Team at the end of the 30 turn game will see all participating pilots earn a TIE Corps Meritorious Unit Award (MUA).

    The top 6 scorers in each of the 3 streams (top LoC count, top LoS count, top HS% SP count) will earn Iron Stars as below:

    1st: IS-GW

    2nd: IS-SW

    3rd: IS-SW

    4th: IS-BW

    5th: IS-BW

    6th: IS-BW
