Squadron News
Greetings all!
Most of you are, by the looks of things, still on leave. As soon as you return, try to participate in the Vanguard Top Dog Competition (http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?ID=2082)...
Pretty soon, there will be a brand new Flight Leader for flight 3! That is, he will be new as a flight leader, not as a Pythoneer... Stay tuned!

Extended Leave of Absence
FA Vladet Xavier
Starting on August 2nd (Tuesday) I will be on an official leave of absence until around August 24th. I am moving to a new university and will (most likely) not have internet access unless I catch a lucky break - that being the college's wireless network extending to my house which is a possibility. Starting Tuesday you may send all e-mails to my database e-mail address and I may see it, but send all major concerns to Grand Admiral Astatine and/or Sector Admiral Sarin and they can take care of it. Any crap that goes on during my absence will result in a visit to the new JAG.
Have a good week.
Alteration
AD Joey C
Just for this month, can all MoC reccs for July please go straight to the OPS, AD Pickled Yoda. I have major exams starting tomorrow, so time must be diverted into that sadly.
Also, COL La'an is the new COMMA. Congratulations and condolences. Get to your duties.

Challenge Com....
SA Cyric
Due to a clerical error by the TIEBG COM and the Flight Office (though we all know the Flight Officer never makes mistakes) LCM Prost Varsis was inadvertently promoted to the rank of RA and given COM of the Challenge. During his brief stay as COM he had performed admirably, even getting out a report for the ship, something that hasn't been done in a LONG time. His actions are commendable, however he has been returned to his squadron TEMPEST and given old rank of LCM by the Flight Office.
The new REAL COM of the ISD Challenge has made his way from the Reserves and takes the chair of the Challenge. Please welcome the TC's newest COM, VA Maverick!
Congrats to Maverick

Back to Business
FA Vladet Xavier
Due to my new job requiring a drug test and background check, I am back for at least another week while they process those items. You may once again send all Security related matters to me at my primary e-mail address and get a response within the usual twelve hours or less.
Imperial Storm - Turn 16 Update
HA Priyum Patel
Imperial Storm is now nearing the end-game with Turn 16 concluded. And an important development has taken place: The Sith team has invaded the Sovereign-held world of Telos. If they manage to capture it unopposed by the end of the next turn (i.e. a Hostile force doesn't show up during Turn 17 to either defend or oppose the capture), then they will score a Major Victory.
As described in the IS Rules, if all other Fleets are down to 20% starting strength or less and you control at least 50% of the planets, you win by a Major Victory. The Sith who have fought strongly throughout, are now near this goal.
New Wing XVI WC Chosen
SA Cyric
Congrats to Lieutenant Colonel Kayle Bayron chosen as the next Wing Commander of the ISD Predator!
Good Luck to him!
