TIE Corps Command Report
Weekly Report #38 – Submission date: December 1st 2013
Introduction

Welcome to another TCCOM report!

There were plenty position promotions this week! LCM Tyrian has been selected as Gamma Flight 2 Leader. LC Kenath Zoron was chosen as Beta Flight 3 Leader, and was followed to that Flight by MAJ Tek Selkirk. Finally, LT Upsidexumop was promoted to Beta Flight 2 Leader. Congratulations to you all, and good luck on your new positions. I believe this leaves only Epsilon’s Flight 3 Leader position open in the fleet. Any applicants?

We’ve had a new recruit join our ranks earlier in the week. Welcome to Julon Lommax, who completed his training in M/PLT Daedalus and was assigned to Beta Squadron Flight 2. Julon already got his promotion to Lieutenant, and was later assigned to Beta Flight 1, as per request of the CMDR. Welcome aboard, LT Lommax, hope you’ll have a great time! And congratulations to CPT Kyle Kroan, who was awarded the Medal of Instruction for the recruiting of LT Lommax!

It’s the first of the month, and a couple MSEs for November have already been submitted by the CMDRs. Great job! We expect the rest of them until the end of this week, but I’m sure we’ll see some awards very soon.

Dempsey’s returnees fiction competition has ended, and both me and La’an have been asked to grade the fictions. We should work on that in this week or the next. Glad to see there was some good participation!

The COO is hosting his Weekly Challenge competition, and I was very glad to see that there were tons of LoCs awarded this week. No less than 56 Legions of Combat were awarded, which is pretty impressive. Keep up the great work, gentlemen!

As requested by Gamma’s Flight 3 Leader, The Four Horsemen are not flying the Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing, or Assault Gunboat. Best of luck with the new crafts!

New uniform images have been updated by LT Upsidexumop, LC Kenath Zoron, LT Julon Lommax and CPT Kyle Kroan. Check them out!

There has been some discussion regarding the implementation of a fictional salary to the TIE Corps members. It does have its advantages, and could be used for character and unit developments in the fleet, if it’s done well. I find it interesting; perhaps we can brainstorm a few more ideas, so we can draft something for the next version of the TIE Corps Pilot Manual?

Four officers had their Orders of the Vanguard updated this week: HA Ender mBind (OV-14E); FA Jedi Eclipse (OV-12E); LC Tempest (OV-13E); and MAJ Valic (OV-17E). Congratulations!

But, once again, the sad news is the departure of CM Verigos from Alpha Squadron to the M/FRG Phoenix. Hope you get back soon, Verigos.
