Sorry for the Late Report, busy with RL. This will be relatively short one.
BATTLE Results!!!
o The Sovereign has defeated the ATF and taken Control of Korriban!!!
The Sovereign SP Ladder Comp is over.
o Results at Sov Site
Look for a series of comps to celebrate my 1 year anniversary as Hades Commander as well (which will be in July). These Competitions’s will follow the above competitions.
I hope you all like it. I got tired of the other boring format, and hopefully this one lasts awhile. [Note: If you are unable to view this Report as it should appear, go to the TIE Corps page that has Hades Reports @ Hades Squad Reports].

WING VII NEWS
From General Turr’s Wing Report:
Wing VII Wing Report # 26
This past week was a pretty busy one, I started school and work increased but…I did see EP III on the ‘big screen’. The ‘big screen’ wasn’t very big and the sound was not what I expected but it was still good nonetheless. I won several items on ebay the other day (w00t!), one of which was the audio CD’s of the Revenge of the Sith novel, plus I also got that novel and it's Prequel, Labyrinth of Evil novel from Border's the other day…pretty interesting books.

- [TO]Official Release Of MCBS!
- 20:22 - AD Stuart
I would like to announce the official release of the newest TAC course, Tactical Mission Creation and Beta Standards. All TACtical staff will be required to take this, also all mission developers will be required to have taken it before submitting their work.
Take a look at http://www.imperialacademy.org/courses.html
Also, please remember to check up on the Fleet Wide Edumacation Competition!
IS-BR through IS-PR are available for anyone to win!!
Details and HINTS are found here: http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=951
- Hades will be having a comp going thru fairly soon…as is the wing one…so all pilots be ready!!!
- As you know, we didn’t have a very good showing for last month’s Sov SP Ladder comp. I know that we are all busy, some more than others, but I ask and your CMDR’s ask that you fly for comps, even if you feel your abilities as a pilot is pretty bad, fly it anyway. Any points that we as a wing can get are important!
- I’m missing 2 MSE’s…those who have sent them in already thank you. The other 2, send them in ASAP or your pilots won’t get any credit if they have not done anything outside of IWATS or flying from the Mission Comp.
-Now, for the part that you all have been waiting for…the Rent-a-Babe! :P Nothing special in the format this week, like I said, been a bit busy. Our babe is a country singer that I've never heard of...but she's cute! :D Most of the pics have come from her website… http://www.gretchenwilson.com/

"The cycle of possibilities is fleeting. The lash of an eye in a hurricane."---Seefran Love Song, 341-AT9
Ship Orders
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Battle Alert: Sovereign engaged in combat with Avenger Task Force at Korriban; be prepared to fly TIE and XvT singleplayer missions to be distributed within one day to be due on Thursday June 9th.
Ship News
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imperial Storm V: Battle Alert: The Avenger Task Force is to engage the Sovereign Battlegroup in combat at the planet Korriban. We are facing their entire fleet which consists of 2 Imperial Star Destroyers, 2 DREADs, 1 CRCK, 4 T/A squads, 4 T/B squads and 2 T/F squads. They'll be going up against our fleet of VSD, ESC, A/FRG, GSP, 6 T/D squads, 1 T/A squad, 6 ATRs, and 1 E/S.
The date of the multiplayer match will be Wednesday June 8th, 5pm EST in #isd_predator. The TIE and XvT missions are being created and will be given to both sides within a day. The more pilots we get to fly these singleplayer missions, the better chance we have of saving ships in the multiplayer engagement.
I need XWA pilots who can fly for the multiplayer engagement.
The Imperial Storm IV site: http://www.btinternet.com/~spellfire/wo_rules.html
SOV SP Ladder for May: The competition has ended and winners are to be awarded. Congratulations on all winners and a great thanks for those participating.
Top scoring pilots for each division of TIE, XvT, and XWA are:
Coldsteel: TIE
Gunman: XvT
Stele: XWA
Top scoring wing for each division:
Wing I in TIE and XvT
Wing II in XWA
Top scoring squad for each division:
Beta in TIE and XvT
Hades in XWA
Admiral Proton is back!: Good old Proton is back, can you believe it!? For the newer pilots who don't know who he is, he was the previous Sovereign Commodore before I came in. He left a legendary mark on the Sovereign as well as very dirty quarters! Welcome back Proton. Glad you're back in the fleet serving the fleet.
Oh yeah, he's the Flight Officer's Command Attache. So reports will be going to him now.
Behavioral Notes to all Personnel: Just a quick note. Do not edit pilot files or mission files. This is considered cheating and you will more than likely be caught. There was one incident of cheating on the ship and an automatic demotion to sub-lieutenant occurred as well as stripping away of all FCHG and high scores. I hate to see that happen, just don't cheat please.
Also, please do not skip any missions. This isn't considered cheating but it is preferred that you not skip missions in a battle. If there's a bug issue please contact TAC or your CMDR.
Off Topic: Thought I'd mention this to the ship. I have finally graduated from college! Yeah, it took me about ...... 7 years!!! Anyways, I got it finally and I'm happy. I'll be walking this next saturday. What a joy! So you can all drop off graduation gifts at the bridge. And for those of you who have quarters at the hangar....thats nearly a 9km walk back to the bridge =P
Sovereign website UPDATED: http://hades.freeunixhost.com/index.php
-site is being stubborn today..
Battle Citations
-Just a note about Battle Citations, there are a ton of squadrons on the ship that just takes one pilot to fly a battle to boost their collection of battle citations.
-Gyssler's site shows what battles need to be flown to achieve a battle citation.

Gotta love the midwest! We have the humidity, but at night its a nice cool 70 degrees when I'm riding around dispensing "justice" >:P
FA Joe
Thanks buddy...if they don't take me, I'll just bomb the FO office. :P
GN Turr
Woops! I fried the board. Oh well. Note to self: When
attempting to bypass security measures, do NOT use
your lightsabre.
Talons
Oops. Thanks Stele! Sorry for the mix-up...it's probably the withdrawal from the smoking! It's affecting my brain! :P
Turr
That would be a good advise :)
We are ready for your spam... We have spam of our own to send back :)
CM Firzam Coldsteel
Brin has had the swelling in his ribs increase and so he can't type.
He's asked I send this email to everyone to tell you all he's okay and
hasn't forgotten about you. He brusing should go in the next few days.
He has also asked his Commanders (what kind of club is this?) to be
wary about the 'SP ladder' submissions - apparently some of the files
need to be processed as soon as you can get them done so that they can
be included in an Iron Creator competition.
So, apparently my son is part of a internet pretend-military
organisation. I might have to spend more time reading his email!

A word on the TIE mission...A major pain in the ass. Tried it several times
to no avail. C'mon, if the FC is around, you'd at least expect some T/A's or
maybe T/D's and MIS's. But no: one squadron of unshielded T/I's with no
missiles. And another one of T/B's. Wow, EH must really be low on
resources...
----LC Yoman
Eat SIN COOKIES*
Feel GOOD about being BAD!
---Mickk Emrys
...this has got to be one of the most annoying mission I've flown during my
time in the TC. Or maybe I just hate flying unshielded TIE's.
'Compy don't fly no unshielded TIE.'
---Compton
darn!!! how could you beat me on XWA???
I demand a revenge!!!
---LC Zeth
LOL, good show though.
Yeah, you want revenge, eh?
We'll have to dub July's SP Ladder as "Revenge of the Zeth"
--- VA Stele Pellaeon
Get to your fighters! Get to your fighters!
Sounds like we're going to be fighting a nasty battle here, good thing
we've got sharper knives...

FLEET NEWS
Imperial Storm - Battle for Korriban Results
12:06 - HA Priyum Patel
After a fierce struggle over the azure skies of Korriban, the Sovereign team has emerged victorious! Decimating the ATF's first wave, they forced their opposing team into a swift retreat, inflicting minor damage on the fleeing ships while securing their position in orbit. This means that the Sovereign team will now have captured the planet at the end of Turn 5.
However, thanks to their Single Player results, the ATF team has managed to save enough points to ensure that a TIE Advanced squadron was saved from the onslaught. Well done to the ATF Pilots. The full details of the losses inflicted on both sides can be seen on the War Office site.
I thought I'd release some statistics from the war game so far:
Number of TIE SP submissions: 50 (who said TIE was dead?)
Number of XvT SP submissions: 34
Number of Battles: 3 (Ryloth, Mon Calamari & Korriban)
Number of participating MP Pilots: 14
Number of losses: M/FRG (x1), E/S (x2), ATR (x7), FRG (x1), TRN (x1), CRCK (x1), DREAD (x2), STRCK (x2), VSD (x2), T/F (x24), T/B (x36), T/A (x87), T/D (x97)
War is expensive.
AES Squadron CMDR Sought
06:49 - SA Cyric
VA Gidda has decided to start accepting applications for the position of Avenger Squadron Commander from now in order to avoid a lack of leadership in the ASF Elite squadron when GN Nightmare will transfer to Reserves at the end of this month.
Candidates must have passed the SM/3 course (preferred: MP and AMP). They must know very well the multiplayer aspects of XvT and/or XWA and of course they must be active multiplayer pilots themselves. Other than that it is required a fast email response time, the ability to work with other ASF Officers for the creation of multiplayer events and no HCI convictions whatsoever in your record.
If you met those requirements and if you think to be the right person for the job send your application to BGCOM Gidda including a brief list of activities you would run as new AES CMDR.
[TO] Edumacation Competition Ends Monday!
15:01 - AD Stuart
You still have 2 days (until late monday) to earn up to an IS-GR!!
Once per week, I will be choosing an IWATS course, ANYONE who completes that IWATS Course during that specific week will get an IS-BR. (This means if you can figure out week 4 and don't have it and pass the course you get a medal!)
Also, if you complete at least 2 of 4 IWATS courses selected every 4 weeks at any point during the 4 weeks, you will get an IS-SR in addition to any IS-BRs you may have obtained from completing a course in the appropriate week.
Anyone who completes all 4 IWATS courses at any point during the 4 week period will receive an IS-GR in addition to any IS-BRs obtained from completing a course in the appropriate week.
IWATS courses can be taken at
http://www.imperialacademy.org
TO Reports can be found here:
http://www.ehtiecorps.org/reports/default.asp?commandstaffid=6
#####HINTs:#####
-No weeks will be CORE or OPT
-No weeks will be courses without professors
-Week 1 was based on a TC Platform
-Week 2 will be in the 'general' category
-Week 3 will be a course that is about to be closed
Week 3 needs some further elaboration. In preparation for the newest course MCBS mission creation courses /2 are being phased out. Check out all the mission creation courses to try and find one that hasn't been phased out yet!
-Week 4 this one is a nasty communication device that is primarily used on UNIX
Medals So far: (medals are awarded at the end of the 4 week period)
Week 1 : 2 IS-BRs
Week 2 : 3 IS-BRs

You will have to register again but unlike the other forums, it's pretty much instant. If anyone has any information from the old forums saved - particularly user lists for the EH, please email me.
