Congratulations to the former Omicron CMDR, Lieutenant Colonel Wysseri Arestar, who has been selected as the new Wing VIII WC.

With the retirement of General Drake, the position of Wing IX Wing Commander is open for applications. If you think you have what it takes to be a Wing Commander, email the COM, RA Jahan Kalar and the BGCOM, AD Krax by Sunday May 18th at 23:59 CST. The requirements are:

- At least one successful tour as CMDR or above (4 months)
-No major HCI convictions during the last 12 months
-Committment to the position of at least four months
- Experience with XWA (TIE experience highly recommended)
- Ability to reliably handle significant amounts of admin work to keep things running smoothly
- Ability to create and run various competitions
- Reliable and quick email response
- A sincere desire to make Wing IX the best it possibly can be and a commitment to the Tie Corps and the Relentless
-Ability to handle numerous command decisions in a fair and mature manner


Include any plans you have for the Wing, especially in regards to moral, activity and recruitment. All officers who feel they meet the above requirements will be considered, but egomaniacs, crackpots, abusive jerks, and anyone who's in it for the rank should look elsewhere.

Flight Member Maximum Rank Extended

I have received approval from the Fleet Commander to extend the maximum attainable rank as a Flight Member from Lieutenant Commander to Commander. To be eligible for this rank, a FM must have spent at least THREE months in their current position. Time is not the only consideration for such a promotion - activity during this period must also be a factor.

The database won't support the submission of these promotion recommendations yet, however Wing Commanders can email me the request and I'll do it manually. The Training Manual, Fleet Standing Orders and Squadron Management notes will be updated over the coming days.
