Appointments in ASF The new Wing XIII Commander is LC Ambar Kilick. In Wing XIV the new Asp Squadron Commander is CM Gara Petothel and the new Viper Squadron Commander is CPT Big Poppa K. Congratulations everyone! Command Openings I am still accepting applications for the position of Commodore of the ISD Intrepid, details and requirements can be seen HERE. Unfortunately CM Alexander Shrike and COL JEr Stryker stepped down from their CMDR positions and joined Reserves so now there are four CMDR spots to be assigned: Odin, Vortex and Valkyrie in Wing XIII and Hornet in Wing XV. Usual requirements for the position of CMDR apply and if you know people who may be interested in a CMDR position feel free to point them to the ASF. Competitions Reminder My High-Score competition for XWA and XvT is still running and I have received only two submissions so far. Missions to fly are XWA-Free #112 and XvT-Free #137, for each mission the IS-GW, IS-SW and IS-BW will be awarded to the top 3 scorers. Then if you want some multiplayer you can participate to the two competitions hosted by the Emperor's Hammer on Battlestats: Empires Escalade for XWA and XvT. Click on the link below for more details. Imperial Storm Imperial Storm V has been put on hold until the War Officer won't solve his technical problems. TE for the Predator Saturday, 14th May the Empire will launch an attack against the New Republic to retake the ISD Predator and capture the MC Ocean's Pride! Be there and fight to get back our ship. BGCOMmendation My special congratulations go to the Echo Squadron Commander, CPT Arid Foxtrot. Arid has helped two Cadets with their training and he has been rewarded two Medals of Instruction for that, one of the Cadets also joined Echo squadron. Other than that he has been the first CMDR to send in his MSE this month and he completed the Wing Management course with a score of 100%. Keep up the great work Captain, you are an example for other CMDRs in this Battlegroup. ASF Think-Tank I have started a thread on the ASF forum where everyone can post their feedback for our Battlegroup (and the TIE Corps too). Head to http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic. php?t=785 and do not hesitate to submit your 2-cents!
