Hey Hey! Time for another Athena Squadron Report. There's a little news to cover, so let's do it! SQUADRON NEWS ------------------------- As of the latest Sov Report, all squadrons are ordered to participate in a squadr versus squad competition within the next month.

The only thing missing at this point is the content for the official archives, which GA Astatine has offered to provide me with.

Thanks once again to all those that helped me during the production process. Please don't stop sending submissions now, though, as I will need more submissions to fill up the 108th issue. I have started a feedback thread at http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=1200. I invite everyone to post constructive comments, positive or negative, about the NL. I will read your comments and give them due consideration during the production of NL 108. Monday · June 13 · 2005 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.

Fly anything! Be ready to participate in a squad vs squad competition! Communicate! The easiest and most fun activity in the club. Take IWATS Courses! They look good on your ID Line and you learn stuff. Have fun! MISCELLANEOUS ----------------------- Well, I started playing FreeSpace 2 about a week ago. Extremely enjoyable for the most part. My one complaint is too many nebula missions! I'm starting to get tired of flying and fighting through pea soup. A note to anyone working on Imperial Alliance: please do something about that bleeding nebula! Like make it go away! :P Also started playing Tom Clancy's SSN. An extremely old game, I picked it up off a Best Buy bargain rack a good couple of years ago. Sinking enemy subs is extremely gratifying. Now if only I could figure out how to complete a Tomahawk missile launch successfully... I think that about covers everything fo this week's report. Thanks, Colonel Josh Popelka Athena Squadron Commander ----------------------------------------- CMDR/COL Josh Popelka/Athena/Wing VII/SSSD Sovereign BS/PC/ISMx4/IS-2BW-2BR-1SW/CoL/CoB/OV-3E [PLDN] {IWATS-AIM-CBX-ICQ-IIC/1/2/3-M/1/2-RT-SM/2-TT-VBS-WPN-XAM-XTT}
