Red LogoUPDATES

Greetings pilots of the Hammer!

Welcome to this fortnight's ship report, the eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that this month has only seen 2 as opposed to the usual 4 reports going out. This has been in large part due to Imperial Storm, which took up considerable time and administrative work, especially the close out which I wrapped up last week.

It's been a fairly eventful fortnight as well, for starters the ISDII Challenge won Imperial Storm III so whilst we offer them many congratulations I am sure we'll be back with a vengeance in Raise the Flag which is currently scheduled to start in October. On the Hammer we saw several medals drop out of Imperial Storm III which can be found below alongside some of the merit medals which arrived around the middle of August.

On the ongoing competitions front - The Hammer Crew Compendium ends today - so if you're planning on taking part you'd best get those submissions in ASAP. This competition will be replaced in our line up by Hammered on the Hammer, which will be starting tomorrow, courtesy of CM Solohan50! The Hammer Tour of Duty is also up and running, so please make sure you get any last submissions in as well, the goal for this month was to fly TIE TC30 through 50.

Finally, round one of Trivia for the Hammered has been completed, with the results below.

All in all a busy end of the month - and the next MSE medals are due to begin tomorrow!

Red LogoCOMPETITIONS

Hammer Crew Compendium
The Hammer is more than just its pilots, we have a Star Destroyer to flesh out. Over the next 6 weeks you can come up with characters for our mighty ship, be it the chief navigator, the cook, the engineers, the janitor... you name it.
Submissions need to be at least 400 words long, and will be scored by the Commodore. The best submission will receive a IS-SR, second place receiving a IS-BR.
For ideas check out an earlier competition which gave us these characters.

* Note
If two pilots submit characters for the same position, we can modify them slightly after the competition.
DEADLINE: August 31st

Trivia for the Hammered - Season Three
Each week, 4 questions will be released via email. For each question, the quickest pilot to answer correctly receives 3 points, second quickest with the correct answer gets 2 points and all the pilots with a correct answer get 1 point.
We tally up at the end of the week with the highest point total winning an IS-BR.
After 8 rounds we tally up for our Season Three winner who will receive an IS-SR, the runner up an IS-BR.
Points earned on each question accrue and lead to IS-CRs being awarded for earning 50 points, 100 points, 250 points, 500 points, and so on.
