Wing III
Report #12
7.2.2001 - LC Sequoh Marden
Wing III Report #12 - July 2nd, 2001
Introduction
------------------
That was a great week for us! First we recieved a lot of new pilots straight from Daedalus (Welcome to
Wing III, LT Alli Viper, LT Mordred, SL Rendvermin, SL Tetragon and SL Dierde Varn!). Then three Wing
III veterans came back from the reserves (Welcome back MAJ Astin, LCM Treb Helfest and LCM Tvan'Oris!)
and lastly quite a lot of people were really active flying many, many missions for the FCHG
competition!
Great work! Keep that up!
If there wasn't an ImpStorm battle coming up (see below for details) I'd buy all of you a drink in our
cantina... *someone from the audience shouts something* Bad excuse you say? Well, you'll have your
drinks then - after we've won that ImpStorm engagement! :)
Wing III News
------------------
- ImpStorm II combat alert!!
"Having barely finished solidifying their hold on the planet of Valkier, patrol fighters from TF
Silver Saber (that's a taskforce of our team = good) picked up sensor contacts incoming from
hyperspace. As these ships reverted to realspace, they were identified as belonging to the Flaming
Arrow Fleet (other team (ASF)). Gravity wells on Interdictor Cruisers from both sides began to power
up, the Fleet Commanders started relaying orders to their ships... " (taken from
http://www.btinternet.com/~spellfire/battle.html, where you can find the complete description of the
forces on both sides and other things)
Everyone to their fighters, we're engaging in combat!! The battle will take place on Tuesday 3rd July
at 11pm GMT / 6pm EST in the IRC channel: #tiecorps. Unfortunately that's pretty late for everyone in
GMT and nearly unacceptable for everyone east of that (at least if you have things to do on Wednesday
;) so quite a lot of us (including me) won't be able to attend... However, in case there is any chance
you can make it - be there and make sure to log the event for me :)
If you go there and want to fly, make sure you've read the rules at
http://www.btinternet.com/~spellfire/imp_rules.html and have all patches installed.
- The SovTopGun competition is over! Admirations go to LT Arcanian Stirner who managed to get the top
spot in the XWA section of this competition and therefore is the new XWA Top Gun of Wing III !
Congratulations on your great flying, LT Stirner! Don't forget to add that to your id line... :)

points) were CM Loor, LT Eriond, MAJ Osan'gar and LCM Tvan'Oris! Great flying, keep it up! I'm sure
Osan'gar will update the complete current standings quite soon...
- We're at 44 members!! It's been a while since our membership was that high and I'd like to
congratulate everyone who recruited someone to our Wing, especially those working in the mentoring
program which has been a great success. Special congratulations go to CM Loor who has assisted and
recruited the most cadets so far - great work!! Expect a new squadron to be opened soon!
- A bunch of Wing III members have recieved their Order of the Vanguard with -2E recently!
Congratulations to MAJ Astin, CM Var Zoraan and me! (mail me if I missed someone ;)
- The multi-category competition "Summer Bash" is *still* pending to be reviewed by the TO.... :-/
Let's hope he gets to it soon.
- My time was very limited on Sunday and therefore I could only attend to our weekly Wing III meeting,
which is held in #wing_iii on Undernet at 6 pm GMT / 1 pm EST every Sunday, very briefly! There were
at least 11 people attending though, so I believe it was quite successful... If anyone has a complete
log - please send it to me!
- We have a mailing list (wing3@yahoogroups.com) and a message board
(http://www.tiecorps.org/mb/view.asp?b=48), so make use of them!
- The Aleth Competition #4 ended and LT Arcanian Stirner won this as well - congrats! :)

ImpStorm News
------------------
- ImpStorm II, End of Turn I events:
In the early morning hours, local time, satellites in high orbit around the industrial world of
Firaxon detected a sizable fleet from Task Force Doom dropping out of hyperspace and taking up orbital
positions around the planet. Groundside observers identified the following ships present:
ISD-II Challenge
ISD-II Immortal
A/FRGs Annihilator, Juggernaught, Overlord, Peyote & Basilisk
INT Gearjammer
TF Doom, under the command of Vice Admiral Adrenaline, will capture this resource-rich planet at the
end of Turn Two.
- ImpStorm II, End of Turn II events:
Following Vice Admiral Adrenaline's recent bold move, Fleet Admiral Kramer has followed suit. The
following ships from TF Silver Saber have arrived in orbit around the world of Valkier in a bid to
capture it, and it's precious resources:
ISD-II Regulator
INT Detainer
ESC Sokar's Pride
In addition, TF Doom now controls and holds the planet of Firixon.
- ImpStorm II, End of Turn III events:
TF Doom continues with its aggressive expansion: Two more planets, Golst & Strall, have been invaded
by Doom ships, and both will be captured by the end of Turn IV.
GOLST
ISD-II Relentless
A/FRG Kapp Dendo
A/FRG Theodore
STRALL
ISD-II Challenge
A/FRG Overlord
A/FRG Juggernaught
A/FRG Annihilator
As if this wasn't enough, ships from TF Flaming Arrow have invaded the recently captured Silver Saber
world of Valkier!
