Red LogoUPDATES

Greetings pilots of the Hammer!

Welcome to this weeks Hammer Ship Report. It's been an eventful week aboard ship with medals, discord activity, competitions and a change to our Squadron Commander line-up. As you may have seen CPT Xye has taken over as Beta Squadrons Commander, this was due to CPT Mantisa not returning from his LoA as expected last month. I hope wherever he is the good Captain will find his way back to us in due course, however as I mentioned in a mail to the ship earlier this week we do need an active lineup of commanders, therefore I am pleased to see CPT Xye take the hot seat. We wish him luck!

Those of you on Discord will have seen the #Day-of-our-TIE channel is now live at the bottom of the list of Hammer channels. It's a run-on/soap opera that has already had your COM in stitches so please check it out and take part, it's utterly hilarious!

The first round of the Trivia for the Hammered - Christmas Special has been completed, well done everyone! Read on below to find out more about the ongoing competitions.

Trivia for the Hammered - Christmas Special
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.
