    This week has been abso-frickin-lutely amazing, and I hope many more are to follow!

    First off, a few old time vets decided to leave the M/FRG Phoenix.and return to active duty. And when I say a handful I mean two hands full cause they don't fit in one anymore.... Welcome back to all 8 pilots who have rejoined us so far. I guess we have the TCCOM to thank for this - his efforts have paid off. Guess spamming the Phoenix holonet and unleashing unleashing thousands of messages to them has worked better than expected ! One can only wonder how many more will follow next week.

    And especially I'd like to welcome COL BubbaX, CPT Nutrientman and LCM Jaorrus Morraus, who have taken up some empty slots in this squadron. Welcome back guys! And even better: COL BubbaX has already bagged himself a shiny Palpatine Crescent for providing the TC CS with a new logo!

    Thank you also to Col Zosite K. Styles who found himself swamped with all the work to suddenly restore a heapload of profiles from the backup. I chickened out of the hard work a while back and just thought it was better to just send him the entire backup I had of all the profiles and stuff. Man was I ever on time doing something smart :) And he's still working to restore CPT Nutrientman's combat record.

    Second major event this week is the creating of a pilot who is unique in the entire EH history. And if you think she couldn't get more high headed than she already is.... think again (imagine an evil grinning sound here...)

    Yesterday I received my MSE award for August, which is the highly coveted Grand Order of the Emperor. Not only is it extremely rare for a line pilot to be awarded this highly prestigious medal, it means that I now have two of them. And while this in itself is not enough to make me unique (blah blah :) I am now the only pilot in history with two GOE and two IC. Guess I should keep doing what I'm doing and I'll end up with two MoH as well. Assuming the FC changes the rules on that, since currently the MoH can only be awarded once. Well, one can dream :)

    Well, the above two kind of overshadowed much else of what has happened the past week. The month of October is done, which means I'll be submitting the Monthly Squadron Evaluation to the TCCOM and SOO pretty soon (which means later today), so I expect a good number of activity medals to be awarded for you guys...

    The only downside this week is that I'm giving our three MIA pilots one more shot, and if all fails, they will replace the aforementioned three new pilots and claim their bunks on the M/FRG Phoenix...

    Lastly, The Karana Inititive 4 competition has been extended in order to give the new pilots a chance to participate as well - it would be a shame to miss out on a TC wide competiton. And so I call upon all new pilots, as well as those who have not yet done so, to fly TIE TC 245 for the greater glory of your squadron! We still have a shot at reclaiming our title of TCCOM's Escort Squadron. But even though I did score some high scores, I fear the big bag of medals for that will go to someone else, seeing how I currently have none of them left... Dang, couldn't Zosite have resumed flying a few weeeks later...

    To end on a high note, CPT John T Clark has won the weekly trivia yet again, which makes 3 times in a row. That of course means we already know that next week someone else will win! Alas, Captain, you can participate next week and rack up points for the Trivia Incentive Awards  

      In the headlines this week

  • Karana Initiative 4 extended
  • Welcome to new Delta pilots BubbaX, Nutrientman, Jaorrus Morraus
  • Welcome to non-Delta pilots Gio Palermo, Kodiak Kereban, Derek Klivian (under a new name), Godo Nurok, Kaisin Mirtez and Dax Corrin
  • TAC Office on the verge of releasing unencrypted missions
  • Delta CMDR awarded the Grand Order of the Emperor
  • I win Ace of the Month again after failing last month
  • CPT Clark scores a hattrick on the Trivia
     
  •   Joke of the week

    Two men are hunting when one accidentally shoots the other. He freaks out and calls 911 on his cell-phone:

    "I just accidentally shot my friend while we were hunting! I think he's dead! What do i do?! What do I do?"

    "Ok sir. Calm down. First let's make sure your friend is really dead..."

    "Ok! Hang on! " A few moments later the 911 operator hears another gunshot.

    "Ok. He's really dead. Now what?"

  •   Important Competitions

    Competitions are the livelihood of this thing we do for fun. I encourage all of you to enter as many competitions as you want to/can. And just let me know about it! Don't forget to check out the website for more information.

  • Delta's Weekly Trivia
    Each day of the week (Mon-Fri) you will receive an email with a trivia
    question, same as before. 3 pts for the first correct answer, 2 pts for
    second and 1 pt for 3rd. At the end of the week, the one with the
    most points wins the shiny. As usual, there's extra shinies available for
    accumulating set amounts of points.

  • Ace of the TIE Corps
    Each mission flown during a month will count towards your score, with shinies for the top 3 pilots.
    At the end of the year, the TC's Top Gun will win a rare IS-PW!

  • Delta's FCHG points hunt
    The Delta pilot who gains most FCHG points during November wins. If more than 2 pilots submit pilotfiles, I can offer up an IS-SW for the winner!

  • Returnee's Activity Hunt
    With so many pilots returning to active duty, here's a little competition just for them - write a small fiction (1 page max) about your return! IS-SR/BR for the winners!
