Ranger sits at the helm of the Doomsday Corvette, mentally preparing for the upcoming Reconnaissance meeting. 

A vast empty space lies before him and he blankly gazes into the void.

"It has been months since the last meeting and we have been doing well. I wonder what is in store this time, better make my way to the meeting room" thought Ranger.

Ranger gets up from his Captains chair and straightens out his uniform, ensuring there are no creases and everything is in order. He turns around and makes his way across the bridge towards the automatic doors. The sounds of machinery whizz as the doors slide open, upwards into the ceiling.

“Sir, aren’t you forgetting something” asks an enlisted officer.

“What do you mean? I have everything I need and your interruption is causing me to delay this important meeting. I should have you demoted for even speaking without permission and..”

“...you left your hat on your desk, Sir '' the Officer replied sheepishly.

“Ah, very well. Thank you Officer, forgive my rudeness. Keep up the good work”.

“Yes Sir!” the officer replies and salutes his Admiral”

Ranger heads through the door, without any more needless interruptions and heads to the shuttle that is prepped to depart towards the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer Avenger. Once the shuttle arrives within the hangar, he walks through the cold, gray steel corridors to the officer’s meeting room. Illuminated by bright white lights alongside the walls, murmurs of conversation can be heard from Stormtroopers down the halls and faint beeps of mouse droids sound as they travel throughout the station. Ranger approaches the door to the officer meeting room and straightens his uniform once more before entering.

As he enters the room, sites of familiar faces are seen, all of the Emperor’s Hammer Command Staff are present. From left to right, Kamjin Maverick Lap'lamiz, Pickled Yoda, Sylas Pitt, Robert Hogan, Turtle Jerrar, Jarek La’an, Jaxx Nassin, and most importantly Grand Admiral Rapier at the center. Ranger sits in his seat and pulls up his datapad, preparing to deliver his segment of updates to the Grand Admiral.

“Gentlemen, thank you for attending the quarterly meeting. We will begin the meeting with the Internet Office, Admiral Jerrar, you may begin.” asked Rapier.

“Thank you Sir, it has been a few months and our operations continue to improve through the advancements of the Internet Office. We have implemented new procedures to be followed by all personnel with upgrades to security measures that have previously been subpar, the TIE Corps is conducting a squadron remobilization and our office has created a system to track advances within the squadrons thus increasing efficiency by a whopping 75%. We continue to make these improvements and the next set of updates shall be prepared for the next meeting”

“Yoda, I assume our training programs are holding up, do we have any updates?” asked Rapier.

“To add to the TIE Corps’ squadron remobilization, the Tactical Office has implemented a training protocol which has each squadron create a training module based off preset guidelines we determined to be of use. This module includes a four part scenario where pilots will need to think on their feet and intercept any possible scenario that may occur. With this training, it will ensure our pilots are ready for any outcome. This is my report, thank you Sir. “ said Yoda.

“Admiral Sylas, there is no question that your training programs in the Imperial Weapons and Tactics School continue to run well, after our last meeting, you mentioned that pilots can now apply for qualifications based on their credentials, can you elaborate on this?”

“As of the last meeting, the qualification program has taken off quite well, exceeding our expectations in fact. Pilots can now apply for certificates in each category of specific training regiments, these certificates are factored in when pilots apply for specific units tasked in special operations, such as Assassnation, Recon, Search and Destroy etc. We have also implemented a graduated course for those pilots who show a clear dedication to learning in all facets of information. With over 12 different qualifications, our pilots will continue to be the best and brightest we have.

“Thank you Sylas, this is very educational. Now, Admiral Nassin, please proceed with your report” asked Rapier.

“The Logistics department is working in line with the Internet Officer, collating and archiving all materials. As part of squadron remobilization, we are asking each squadron to provide information and details they have to share to aid in the archival efforts. We have seen countless new entries to our archives and our history continues to grow at a daily rate. As the squadrons achieve new milestones and victories, we are adding this information to our archives and updating all personnel files to include details on each unit and pilot.” said Jaxx Nissin

“Now, let's hear from the Communications Officer, Jarek La’an. Admiral La’an, the floor is yours” said Rapier

“It is no question that Communications is the utmost priority, without proper and concise direction, we are nothing more than a collection of unguided misfits. It is our aim to work closely with the TIE Corps Commander ensuring that all orders are followed to the letter and that all pilots follow our Code of Conduct to avoid any issues that may arise from negligence. I am happy to report that in the last few months, we have not seen any break in protocol which pleases the Communications Office.”

“Very well, thank you for the report. I am glad to hear we are a well oiled machine and in no small part do each and every one of you play. Last but not least, I want to hear from our Reconnaissance Officer, please, tell me, how are the recruitment efforts going?” asked Rapier.

Ranger stands up out of his seat and raises his datapad, he transfers the information to the holoprojector for all to see.

“Here are the latest numbers, we are currently in a holding pattern for our pilots despite a few casualties during the last Imperial Storm. We continue to broadcast and deliver propaganda against the rebel forces and initiate recruitment efforts. Working with the Internet Office, we have implemented new recruiting efforts specifically designed to showcase each of our squadrons, specifically tailored to our might and power. We are working closely with the Training Officer as well, sending new recruits to the Imperial Weapons and Tactics School to complete their training before they are fit to serve in the Emperor’s Hammer.”

Ranger clicks off the holoprojector and straightens his uniform before sitting back down, he sits the datapad on top of the table and interlocks his hands, patiently awaiting Rapier’s response.

“All of you, I would like to say that your efforts will not go unnoticed. Without your support, there is no Emperor’s Hammer. We would not continue to be here today with your dedication. I will disseminate the information provided in today’s meeting with advice from the Imperial Sovereign Protector. We will reconvene here in the next few months, you are dismissed.” said Rapier.

All the admirals exit the meeting room and head back to their respective positions. Ranger enters his shuttle and departs back to the Doomsday. He heads back to the bridge of the Doomsday and speaks with his Command Attache, Alexander Morgan.

“Well boss, how did the meeting go? Did Rapier seem impressed with the presentation we put together?” asked Morgan.

“Well, you know him, he's a very stoic man, it's always hard to tell if what exactly we present impresses him, but I take solace in the fact that he appreciated our efforts. I give my thanks to you as well, without your help and great advice, we would not have had a strong presentation to begin with.”

“I definitely appreciate that Admiral, I've learned a great deal from you so take comfort in knowing that the knowledge bestowed on me will continue to go a long way and serve you well.”

“You’re right in that, thank you for the reassurance. It’s tough some days, but you just have to keep persevering and overcoming any obstacle that is thrown at you.”

“I couldn't have said it better myself haha, let's head to the mess hall, I heard they’re serving your favorite meal today. “

“How delightful, I’ve been looking forward to this”

Ranger and Morgan end their shift with a hearty meal and they discuss the meeting specifics in detail over dinner.
