Officially on Leave
FA Vladet Xavier
Alright, this time it's for keeps. Starting tomorrow afternoon (August 8th) I will officially be on leave until around August 22nd (Monday). During this time I will be working for my new company and getting set up for the new school semester. Any concerns should be sent to Grand Admiral Astatine and/or Sector Admiral Sarin. See you all in two weeks or so, and keep out of trouble.
Meeting Trivia Results
AD Khadgar
I'm looking for some assistance to get July's MoC trivia results together. Usually I would go through the logs for any meeting that I didn't have results for, but the site that had the logs was attached to minos.net and is hence now down. Keeping that in mind, I currently only have the results for the TC meeting on July 17th. If you have the top three winners for any EH or TC meeting trivia hosted in July, please mail me with the results. Also, I'll henceforth want anyone hosting trivia for EH or TC meetings should mail me the top three winners at khadgar1@shaw.ca.
Great Works Results
AD Khadgar
The results to the "Great Works" fleet-wide competition have been posted. Please see http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?p=17812 for the results.

Imperial Storm - The Final Battle
HA Priyum Patel
On the verge of capturing the planet Telos and claiming a Major Victory, the Sith team have been attacked by the remnants of the Sovereign Fleet.
The Battle for Telos
Sovereign Fleet: ESC Eliminator (Omega T/D, Sin T/D, Sigma T/D x6), ATR Pirahna x6
Sith Fleet: ISD II Nocturnus (Harbinger T/D, Black Omega T/A, Sentinel T/A, Nightstalker T/A, Nightmare T/A, ATR Nadd, ATR Ommin, ATR Kun, ATR Kaan), VSD Horde (Nightshade T/D x8, Stingray T/A, Hammerhead T/A x11), VSD Grausch
The situation looks extremely grim for the brave Sovereign forces. Unless they can knock out all three of the Sith capital ships, the Sith will claim their victory. The MP battle will take place on Thursday 11th August @ 10PM GMT / 5PM EST in IRC channel #isd_predator. Since this is the last battle of Imperial Storm V, I would greatly appreciate seeing as many of you attend in support as possible - particularly Sovereign pilots if they are to make any sort of impact against the Sith Fleet.
I hope to be able to release the SP missions shortly, keep checking the Imperial Storm website.
