Red LogoUPDATES

Greetings pilots of the Hammer!

Lots of competition news this time around, we have the results for the Hammer Crew Compendium and we have also launched a new competition - Hammered on the Hammer courtesy of CM Solohan50 which revolves around our odd and official ships bar menu. You can find out more about it in the competition section below. The Hammer Tour of Duty for August is still being processed - apologies as this will take a little bit longer!

We also had some great submissions for the Hammer Crew Compendium competition, some of which will make you chuckle. After reading these over several times I have decided that our winner is Taylurr Swyft a submission from LCM TheBlackxRanger about our ships tailor who will be picking up a IS-SR! Our runner up is SL Gavin Javik, a submission by CM Solohan50 about the caretaker of the ships official stuffed cat. LCM Witchblade also made a submission which can be found here.

Squadron Evaluations have also by and large been completed and I understand the Commanders are already beggining to make their medal recommendations, some of these are listed below, but I have no doubt the next report will feature lots more shiney medals to talk about too!

As a reminder - Raise the Flag, the competition that decides the TC Flagship, TCCOM's Escort Squadron and TCCOM's Wingman will be kicking off next month, so get ready!!!

Red LogoCOMPETITIONS

Hammered on the Hammer
I blackmailed heavily encouraged Phoenix to stop spending so much of the budget on personal Chalquilla and Twi'lek dancers and have been given authorization to start up a bar/grill/lounge on the Hammer. Now you degenerates upstanding, Imperial pilots can get drunk somewhere besides your cockpits. This competition has two parts and will take place over two months:

September - Create a bar/grill/lounge type area for the Hammer. It should be one that's utilized in-fiction by, at least, the entire TC (so not something that's just an Officer's Lounge). It should have a theme or a schtick of some type. Add a fun bartender or games or other features. There is a minimum submission length of 200 words for the bar/grill. Make sure to give it flavor and atmosphere (and maybe some humor), this is where you'll be drinking after all!

October - Create a signature drink or a signature meal for the winning bar/grill. I'm open to other consumables, but they need to be something that the winning bar/grill is known for. Submissions should be at least 50 words long. Make sure to give it some detail or a backstory of why it's the signature item.

Please email all submissions to solohan50@gmail.com and please make sure to put 'Hammered on the Hammer' in the subject line.

Prizes are as follows for September:
1st place - IS-GR and the bar/grill become an official part of the Hammer canon and added to the Hammer website
2nd place - IS-SR
3rd place - IS-BR

Prizes are as follows for October:
1st place - IS-GR and the signature item becomes an official part of the Hammer canon and added to the Hammer website
2nd place - IS-SR and the signature item becomes an official part of the Hammer canon and added to the Hammer website
3rd place - IS-BR and the signature item becomes an official part of the Hammer canon and added to the Hammer website
