Sigma Squadron
Report
1.2.2001 - CPT Artyis
SIGMA SQUADRON ON 02.01.2001
Greetings and salutations, Sigma's Pilots and honorable guests!
It's the first Sigma report in 2001, so before we start let me wish all of
you Happy New Year and, overall, Happy 3rd Millenium!
Now, back to business.
SIGMA SQUADRON NEWS
- Today is the day of Marathon's end. This nearly 2-month long in-squad
competition gave us 377 FCHG points, 8 Squadron Citations, and - what's most
important - lot of fun!
For more details check Squadron Status part of this report.
- Wing II Hunting season is open!
All other details of this competition are, as presented in Wing II Report
#100, in Squadron Status part of this report.
- Wing IV Commander, General Alec Ricardo has announced "Know Your Ewok"
competition. For further details turn to
http://www.crimson-net.org/wingiv/ewokmain.htm
- Bad news from Tactical Office: Fleet Admiral Striker is about to resign
from CS-4 position. In the latest TAC Report he said : "with great sorrow I
hereby announce my resignation as Tactical Officer; resignation which will
be effective as soon as a suitable replacement has been chosen by GA Ronin."
In the same report we could read about "resignation of VA Wlodek". Well,
although both of them is going to stay in the Fleet, the year 2001 seems to
be rather unstable...
- From the brighter side of life: TAC report brings a good news for
Commander Thunder; Brother, it looks like that after TAC revision we all
will be able to fly your FREE-TIE "Patrol"! At last :)
- All Sigma Weekly reports since March 2000 have been added to database (you
can access them at
http://www.tiecorps.org/reports/tcreports.asp?squadronid=16 )
WING AND FLEET-WIDE NEWS:
- LucasArts game wins award
"In what I have stated several times was the worst hyped up Star Wars game
to help lead the downward trend of more low-quality games from LucasArts
(with the possible exception of Rebellion, some may debate), Gamespot has
awarded this awful game 2000's Most Disappointing Game of the Year
(http://www.zdnet.com/gamespot/features/pc/bestof_2000/p4_02.html)!
Congratulations, Force Commander!" - FSE/SA Kawolski
- XWA Screenshot takers needed for Fleet Man pics
"I need a few people with high end (i.e.. can run XWA at full detail options
smoothly) to take screenshots of a large number of craft. If it sounds mind
numbingly easy, its because it is, however there are a lot of craft :P So
just to give a bit of warning, this could be a little time consuming and not
just easy medals.
Additionally, I will be after a person or two who knows their way around 3DS
max, and is familiar with rendering meshes taken from the SWMA site. Of
course, anyone rendering assistance in either way will be rewarded
appropriately." - SCO/AD Kermee
- TIE Tactics course closed
"Due to real life circumstances, the IWATS TIE Tactics course is now
*closed*. I will attempt to send marks to all those who have been waiting so
very very long. You have my deepest apologies for my lapse.
If you or anyone you know would be interested in running an IWATS TIE
Tactics course, e-mail myself and TO Astatine. Thank you again for your
patience in this difficult time." - LC Tiberius
- The Return of Outer Rim
"Outer Rim nights will be returning as of next week! There are several
changes. One is that the clubs participating include: the RS, the SV, the
VE, the LSF, the NR and now us! The rules are posted at:
http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/outerrim/rules.htm. The games supported are:
XvT, XWA, and JK! For more information on OR check:
http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/outerrim/. Check for updates here for more
information!" - COO/AD Zsinj
SIGMA SQUADRON STATUS
- "Where's Squeaker Competition" (cited from Wing II Report #100)
"This is our big wing competition for January!
Find [Private Squeaker] before the big Ground Squirrel festival (Deadline is
Feb 1)! There are many ways to participate, and many medal opportunities!
CHECK HIS LAST KNOWN LOCATION!!!
Squeaker was heard to say something about saying farewell to some old
friends aboard the ISD Vanguard. I have volunteered you for duty aboard
that ship. Look alive, and keep an eye out for Squeaker as you fly TC 107,
Farewell to Old Friends!! (File attached. Important--read Buggy.txt before
flying Mission 6!)
INVESTIGATE SQUEAKER SIGHTINGS!!!
At random times throughout the month, reports of Squeaker sightings will be
investigated as I send you out to fly missions in the area. Fly the
assigned mission within 24 hours of the announcement to qualify! Due to the
trouble with e-mail delays, sighting announcements will be made both by
e-mail and by posting on the Wing II messageboard. Check the board
regularly!
SEARCH THE FLEET!!!!
Sergeant Akela and Melvin will be making a search of the Emperor's Hammer.
Each day in January (starting tomorrow), a message will be posted on one of
the EH messageboards, possibly with a clue as to where the next post will
appear. Can you keep up to Akela and Melvin? Post a reply to their message
within 24 hours to prove your Squeakorienteering prowess!
GATHER SATELLITE SPY PHOTOS!!!!
Submit a graphic showing Squeaker's current location!
PRIVATE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING!
Write a work of, er, documentary dealing with the disappearance and return
of Squeaker!
MEDALS GALORE!!!
Not only will medals be awarded in each category, but there will also be
medals for whoever participated the most! If, in my opinion, the wing has
not shown any particular effort, medals will not be awarded. So be sure to
take part. Send all TFRs to your squadron commander, send all graphics and
fiction files to me directly (cc your CMDR!) Good luck to all, and may your
Squeaker hunt be successful!" - WC/LC Calzeo Inkwolf
- Battlecry Big Competition:
All EH Members are encouraged to take part. There're 4 main contest in it:
Flying, EH-related Fiction, EH-related Graphic and Mission Design. The
winners of three last ones will be awarded Palpatine Crescents. Winners of
Flying one - in each of three platforms: TIE, XvT, XWA - Silver Star, Bronze
Star and Palpatine Crescent. Moreover there's an Imperial Security Medal for
each pilot of squadron with the highest participation ratio.
All three missions you'll find attached.
- THE MARATHON'S SUMMARY REPORT
Well, Pilots, it seems the time for summing up our in-squad 8-week long
competition - the Marathon - has finally come. The most important thing -
the names of its winners - are already known, but I could bet you'll find
other important information over here as well.
Before we start counting our achievements however I would like to inform
those of you who aren't familiar with it, what the Marathon is. The Marathon
started on November, 1st, and lasted for 8 weeks. Each week we had to
complete 1 TIE battle on hard difficulty, what gives 8 battles in 8 weeks at
all. It may seem as an easy task, but I assure you - it isn't: during
Christmas and New Year's weeks we encountered lack of time problem, which
only 6 of us were able to preserve. On the other hand, now I can be sure
that Marathon was a competition, which tested as well Sigma Pilots piloting
skill as their determination and loyalty to the club, even in very
unfavorable terms!
Okay, let's get started.

During these 2 months of flying we earned a nice looking amount of FLEET
COMMANDER HONOR GUARD and some new ranks.
Points earned:
Sigma 1-1: 5, 23, 7, 5, 26, 6, 14, 4 = 90
Sigma 1-2: 5, 5, -, -, -, -, -, - = 10
Sigma 1-3: 5, 5, -, -, -, -, -, - = 10
Sigma 1-4: 17, 5, 7, 9, 6, 6, 4, 14 = 68
Sigma 2-1: 5, 5, 5, 7, 6, 6, 4, 4 = 42
Sigma 2-2: 5, -, -, -, -, -, -, - = 5
Sigma 2-3: -, -, -, -, -, -, -, - = 0
Sigma 2-4: 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 4, 4 = 40
Sigma 3-1: 5, 5, 7, -, -, -, -, - = 17
Sigma 3-2: 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 4, 4 = 40
Sigma 3-3: 5, 5, 5, -, -, -, -, - = 15
Sigma 3-4: 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 4, 4 = 40
Overall: 377 - not bad I guess ;)
We also achieved 5 BATTLE HIGH SCORES and 17 MISSION HIGH SCORES, and, what
definitely more important: 8 SQUADRON CITATIONS!
And now, the winners of The Marathon competition! Only 6 of us were able to
complete all 8 battles and thus deserve an Imperial Security Medal!
NOTE: to be honest one of pilots recommended for the award, Lieutenant
Commander Koriel, has completed the TIE-TC #94 on medium difficulty level
(an oversight I presume) and due of Christmas trip wasn't able to refly it.
However, as there's any difference between medium and hard difficulty in
this battle I decided to accept it as it was completed on hard. In my
opinion the dedication to squadron - he completed the last battle although
he knew he hadn't chance for award any longer - shouldn't stay without
reward.
So, here they are, Ladies, Gentlemen, all the six - the MEDALISTS:
Sigma 1-1, CPT Artyis
Sigma 1-4, CPT Devlin
Sigma 2-1, LCM Esm'ael Rasxus
Sigma 2-4, LCM Koriel
Sigma 3-2, MAJ Al R.S.
Sigma 3-4, CPT Todbringer
Congratulations, gentlemen! You earned your medals well!
That's all. Marathon is a history now. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I
did. If so - don't despair over it's end - who knows when the idea would be
restored... If not... well, better prepare for more ;P
Vis et Honor!
- Wing II has been defeated by Omega in first round of WIIvsO Competition.
Bad luck we hadn't chance to participate in... :( The winning General
Devin's story however (attached "an EH fact") is worth of reading - it
guarantees you a good laugh (as long as you don't remember who's the victim
of devilish Omegans plot... :P )
