A History of the Grey Wolf Secret Order of Monks - AD Pickled Yoda
The history of the ASF has included a notable slant in the male to female ratio, to the disappointment of all bored pilots everywhere. To compensate, Grand Admiral Ronin is exceedingly generous with the cantina supplies. This has, regretably, meant that all future campaigns have a "sobering up" period of at least a week prior to depature.
There is nothing particularly worth noting about the ASF until February 2003, at which point in time the Valkyrie Secret Order of Monks was founded, messers JoeyC and Vladet Xavier presiding. As soon as they told other reprobates about this little cult, it became the Grey Wolf Secret Order of Monks, with High Monks Joey, Vlad, Trent and Yoda. We let Choosh in to the High Monk club a little later on, with the wonderful invention of Monk Code.
Monk Code was good fun, since we appeared to be doing all sorts of pranks while actually not doing anything. There was a quoteworthy statement made to this extent that has since been forgotten. Actually I just can't be bothered to get it.
the thing about the Monks is, whenever we arent doing anything, it is assumed that we are up to something. we dont even have to drop hints, its just accepted..."those monks are up to their old tricks". makes our work easy.
Oh. There it is. Anyway, Monk Code was jolly fun, except that we didn't have ops power like we do now and it tended to be very long and annoy anyone who couldn't read it. So we stopped using it. Or did we?
The GWSOoM eventually expanded into having members outside of the Grey Wolf, mostly attributed to the lures of doing something quasi-rebellious. Back in the day the talk was all of our impending doom through the HCI. Clearly, we now know that Astatine is much more scary than the HCI. Now we're completely law abiding, even if Ender won't accept us.
With the recent comissioning of the ISD Predator, it is worth mentioning here that the GWSOoM have actually been the unofficial occupiers of the ship, running it on a skeleton crew and copious supplies of alcohol. It is actually in better shape then we found it, having been cast adrift and forgotten. Now only one in three deckplates even need replacing. The GWSOoM deny the reports of a small fortune in gold and gems that were alegedly left on the Predator by a previous BGCOM. There never was a stash of goodies, so there is no need to turn treasure hunter. Trainer Squadron has moved its base of operations back to the Grey Wolf for the time being, though Runeb0t is rumoured to haunt the mainframe of the ship.
For the record, in February 2004 the Grey Wolf Secret Order of Monks unofficially won the ASF Supremacy Competition as "Trainer Squadron" and outscored the Vanguard (and nearly the Intrepid). Officially the score was 0.
Back in the ASF, a bunch of stuff happened as well. Medals, Promotions, Explosions and Gungans. What the Hell.
