I hope everyone has had a chance to catch a breath after Imperial Storm 3, because Raise the Flag looms on the horizon. Beginning October 1st, it is the most grueling - and most important - competition of the year. The ISD-II Challenge is at full strength this year, and I have no doubt that we will end victorious, as we have in Imperial Storm, TIE Corps in Battles, and numerous other competitions over the last year since its recommissioning. More details will be shared as rules are finalized. For now, keep yourself loose and ready for flying, writing, and drawing until you drop.

We've seen a number of promotions over the last couple of weeks. Congratulations are due to LC EvilGrin, MAJ Kalve Ryder, CPT Graf D'Jinn, LT Drummer The Gunner Nate, and LT Hawksniper!


LT Scarlette has announced a new competition, 'Starship Designers'. This competition is about designing your very own starship, which can be as detailed or simple as you wish. Designs must include the exterior (blueprint style or actual artwork) and interior of any rooms of your choice. The design can be of any kind of ship- fighter, cruiser, etc.

Submissions will be judged on overall composition, art skill, and design. Submissions should be sent to LT Scarlette via direct message in Discord.


LCM Xylo Pathtel is running the competition 'Poetic Proficiency'. He posts a subject and format, and you write a poem. Round two voting is open, which featured an acrostic poem with the letters CHALLENGE, and round three entries can be submitted. Round 3 will challenge you to use iambic pentameter to write about our favorite drink and lubricant, Chalquilla.

Last round's winners, with a haiku about rebel ships:

LC EvilGrin
Pretenders you are,
The Empire is all you need,
Die, you Rebel Scum.

CPT Graf D'Jinn
rusty, old xwing
gold and blue, guide my shots true
please give me a TIE


COL Marenta's Inferno Signal Scramble has completed its 11th round, a competition where she posts an unknown acronym - and you guess what it means. You can vote for the 12th round and enter the 13th round until September 26th. Winners from the last round are:

JYR - J-wings? like Yoinks, Raggy by LCM Xylo Pethtel
OBWO - Old Ben Was Old by LT Ryuzokin
PAUGE - Poor A-Wings Unavoidably Get Extinct by COL Phalk Sturm


ISDII Challenge: On the Offensive has ended! Pilots from the ISD-IIChallenge were tasked with flying XWA-Free #161, a brand-new mission that I built featuring the squadrons and pilots of the Challenge. COL Phalk Sturm took first place, LCM Colo Deste second, and COL NiksaVel third. All have been awarded Iron Stars.


Real Heroes of the Challenge: Doctor Canto Val-Har

A newly commissiond Lieutenant and Medical Officer, Val-Har joined the ISD Challenge directly from completion of her medical education and military training. A young Pantoran female, with characteristic blue skin, yellow eyes and purple hair, the striking gold markings under her eyes signify her family's genealogy. Born on Aurora Prime to a pro-Imperial Pantoran family in exile from their homeworld, she has little connection with her native culture and has embraced the Empire fully.

Short in stature but athletic, confident but quiet, she is adjusting quickly to her new life onboard an active ISD. Having joined the military to escape the cloying attentions and expectations of her family she is constantly looking to challenge herself and experience new things. A keen observer, she is working to integrate herself into the ISD Challenge's hierarchy while conscious that the crew is predominantly human and by defintion she stands out.

Eager to prove herself as capable and trusted she will always volunteer when medical support is needed and has shown a particular affinity for cybernetics, an area in which she is now focusing her work. Her ability to enhance the interaction and sensitivity of response of enhancements has allowed a number of veterans to keep flying, despite significant injuries and has earned her a loyal following amongst the pilots of Wing X.
