We begin this month as the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet begins its slow, measured expansion
into the Outer Rim Territories (see Bulletin Board section of this
Newsletter). As will be presented in a forthcoming version of the EH Systems Manual
(v.1.3) and in this Newsletter, the Hammer is beginning to explore neighboring Star
Systems within the Outer Rim for potential conquest...There are also plans to make
"interfleet" contests and missions/battles with the AOL-based Rebel Squadrons
Online Fleet...It is expected that this will lead both clubs smoothly into the long-
anticipated LucasArts XWing vs TIE Fighter and provide many hours of enjoyment
for both Fleets...!
Within this Newsletter is the continuation of the Fleet Commander's Campaign I -
The Emperor, Alive or Vision...A FULL story is presented in the Office of the Fleet
Commander Section of this Newsletter...:)
Included with this Newsletter are a total of seven new TIE Fighter Battles and one
new XWing Battle for use by Members of the Emperor Hammer. There are also
several Free Missions, contest missions, 3 Agressor Wing related missions, and a new
fighter review mission (TIE Silencer)...This totals an unprecedented 66 missions
attached to NL #33...!!!
In addition, several excellent AVIs have been submitted as well as new utilities for
use with TIE Fighter and 2 Lightsaber patches for Dark Forces...such as a utility to
extract sounds from TIE Fighter CD...!
With our Fleet's tremendous growth, submission of EH-related fiction has increased
as well...ALL EH Members are encouraged to read this month's member submissions
found in the Officer's Deck and Cantina Sections...And our SubGroup Members will
be happy to know that the SubGroups are going strong...The BHG has reported in
with 200+ (220-240) Members...! So go visit your group's section of this Newsletter...
Finally, our readers will notice a few "new" embedded sound clips herein...That's
right, they're of your's truly...:) I have embedded three altered/echo WAV files into
this Newsletter which feature me and new Imperial Sovereign Protector "Portal" (see
the Office of the Fleet Commander Section)...In concert with AD Zlatan, I hope to be
posting an AVI featuring photo(s) of myself with my voice in NL 34...
Respectfully Submitted...
