REPORTING COMMANDER: Lieutenant Colonel Genie, Squadron Commander
TO: Lambda Squadron, Vice Admiral Phoenix Berkana Hammer's Commodore
DATE SUBMITTED: 3rd August 29 ABY

Last weekend, we had the Cadet Cup 3, a 3v3 Fleet Battle competition. We had one team participating, the PickleHorn Misfits, managing to negotiate our way out of the heats with 5 wins and 1 loss. We eventually lost in quarterfinal round to the TIEgers.

Repeating this message for a second week, one of Lambda's finest, LT Konig is trying along with his wife to build a presence on YouTube. Be sure to check out this video (comes with English subtitles). Show your support and subscribe to their channel.

Congratulations to CPT Xye for his promotion to Captain! Well earned my friend. Furthermore, congratulations to DemWookieeCheeks for achieving third place in the monthly multiplayer competition. Notably, CM Gytheran managed to win both the monthly LoC and monthly LoS competitions. So, special congratulations for that. It is not an easy feat. Which begs the question, will any pilot ever manage the treble (SP, LoS and LoC) in a single month?

Imperial Storm 3 - 2021 (29 ABY) Battles #3 and #4: Panatha's Outreach and Kammia's Stronghold

As promised, the events of battles 3 and 4 between Hammer and the Warrior and Hammer and the Challenge.

Genie was aboard a Missile Boat from the Chaos squadron. With him, was Solohan, treating himself to a zucchini sandwich. Garyth Mantisa through the comm: 'Genie ... *static noise ... fleet moving towards ... as you requested'.

Genie picked up the comm, 'I cannot hear you. Can you repeat? You are breaking up!'
Mantisa: 'Who are you breaking up with?'
Genie: 'No-one, I am happily married. I said I can't hear you! I...static noise*... Proktor ...'
Mantisa turned to Highlander. 'Did you understand any of that?'
Highlander shrugged his shoulders.
Mantisa: 'Please repeat your next set of fleet movement orders!'
Genie: 'Move our ... static noise ... fleet towards position ... and whatever you do, do ... static noise ... drop from hyperspace!'
Mantisa: 'To drop from hyperspace? You heard the man Highlander, let's drop out of hyperspace!'
Highlander: 'Are you sure? OK.'

As the ISDII Hammer dropped out of hyperspace, the rest of the fleet followed suit. Several lights appeared instantly on the radar.
Highlander: 'A huge Warrior fleet is here!'
Mantisa: 'To combat stations immediately! I'll inform Genie, Alejandro and Taygetta as well.' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Genie: 'What do you mean you dropped out of hyperspace?!'
Mantisa: 'That was the command you sent us through the comms!'
Genie started to swear... '... by the elder gods... frag! Frag! Frag! ... all...'
'Rock!' Solohan interrupted!
Genie: 'What?'
Solohan: 'We are headed towards a giant rock!'
Genie made a swift turn to the left, as the Missile Boat turned it got caught into Kammia's fourth moon gravitational pull. 'Frag!' Strike Cruiser and the Interdictor Havoc followed through. Therein, lied an even bigger Challenge fleet. 'Oh boy...'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Genie: 'Xye, please send the Strike Cruiser Solohan's Zucchini to pick us up.'
Xye: 'Where are you?'
Genie: 'Crammed inside a damn escape pod with an Ewok.' Solohan was snickering, while devouring another sandwich. Genie shoved the sandwich into Solohan's face. 'Laugh that one up shortie!'
Xye: 'OK sure, right after I pick up the rest of the crew from the outskirts of Panatha.'
Genie: 'By the elder gods! @#$%&#@$#$%% '
