SquadFirst+ Released to the Fleet:
08.10.03
As Emailed From:
Internet
Officer (HA Ari)
SquadFirst revolutionized the way CMDRs produced their websites.
Since its conception over 25 squadrons had chosen to use a SquadFirst site. But,
we weren't satisfied with just making a squadron management script. So, we began
to make a website management script for wings, then for ships, and for
battlegroups. But, why stop there? Soon enough support was added for the
Infiltrator Wing, the Dark Brotherhood, and the Hammer's Fist.
The end result is SquadFirst+, one of the most ambitious projects ever created
by the Internet Office. For the past month, MAJ Alex Foley has been developing
the next generation of management scripts. And today, it makes me very proud to
announce that SquadFirst+ v2.0.0 has been released. 6976 lines of code. Over 100
man hours of work. It's the upgrade that a project like SquadFirst deserved.
Also included with SquadFirst+ are 4 new themes. A new theming system within SF+
makes it much easier to make your own theme, having to know practically no PHP
whatsoever. The new themes featured are AT-AT for the Hammer's Fist (by Alex
Foley), Emperor's Hammer: Classic Scenes, the new default theme for SF+ (by Alex
Foley), Stonesaber, a great new Dark Brotherhood theme (by MAJ Xander Drax), and
TIE Phantom, a holonet-looking new theme for the TIE Corps (by MAJ Xander Drax
and FA Leeson).
With SquadFirst+ comes a new SquadFirst website located still at
http://squadfirst.minos.net.
Besides a new design, the new site also hosts The Registry, which houses a
master list of all SquadFirst+ sites. Gain inspiration, find custom themes,
check out custom code; whatever the end result, The Registry will extend
SquadFirst+ into a community of developers. We hope you enjoy SquadFirst+!

SWG PA report #2:

(SWG)/Command Staff/The Fringe
Emperor's Hammer Star Wars Galaxies Report #2
8/13/03
(For distribution to the Fleet.)
Has it really been a month already?
A lot has happened since my last report. I will offer no apologies for the late
date of this one, because I have been spending every available moment doing what
every good member of the Emperor's Hammer PA should be doing - working towards
making my SWG character bigger, stronger, better than before!
The biggest news since the last report is that we have a PA hall, and are now an
official Player Association. This is both a great and a bad thing. It's great,
because now we're official and can run around with our tag (PA initials) proudly
exposed for everyone to see. It's not so great because due to naming
restrictions we have to be known as the Empire's Hammer (SWG will not let you
use the word Emperor) and our initials are "EHmr" (someone beat us to EH). But
these are very, very minor issues, and don't interfere with the game at all. The
PA hall is located on Corellia (chosen primarily because you can reach nearly
any other planet in the game from its spaceports) and is about halfway between
Coronet and Bela Vistal. Many players (including myself) have put their own
homes around the hall, so we've got a great jump on the game for when player
cities are finally introduced.
Our members have been doing a spectacular job of moving up the various ladders.
A month ago, we were comprised primarily of new players still trying to figure
out how the game works. Now we've got Master Scouts, Marksmen, Engineers,
Creature Handlers and even a couple of Bounty Hunters.
We've had two in-game events/get-togethers so far, with more planned. We've had
a meet-and-greet at the PA hall, complete with fireworks and beer (great
combination) and a trip to see the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Dantooine. We're
in the process of making sure that we have an event every weekend, and hopefully
a mid-week hunt as well. Announcements will be made every time an event is
planned.
For those who don't already know, the Emperor's Hammer has formed the only
official EH Player Association on the Chilastra server in Star Wars Galaxies.
Joining the PA is open to all members of the EH, and anyone else who wants to
join. The only requirement (besides having a character on Chilastra, of course)
is that you join the Fringe. You can do this using your existing EH e-mail
address by e-mailing DCGM Darknyte at darknyte@alltel.net, or send him a /tell
in-game to darkn'yte (note the apostrophe).
As always, the first version of my pre-game report/guide is still available at
http://members.aol.com/imperialgleeclub/swg . Thanks to the EH member who
donated the web space.

Grand Order of the Emperor (GOE) Medal Awarded
to Alex Foley: 08.07.03
As Recommended By:
Internet
Officer (HA Ari)
Emperor's Hammer Grand Order of the Emperor (GoE) Medal
Honorable Sirs,
I'd like to take this opportunity to officially submit my recommendation for my
IOA, Major Alex Foley, to receive the Grand Order of the Emperor. His service
record with the Internet Office, and the Emperor's Hammer at large, is quite
astounding, especially for someone of his rank. He has single-handedly
demonstrated what an individual in this club is capable of with hard work and
dedication. He started out with the IO with WEHR and Project Hawkeye, where he
made his first attempt at a PHP-based script. From there he moved on to running
the EH Holonet Awards, creating a design for The Holonet Journals and the IO
Code Archive, and being professor of 3 IWATS course - 2 of which, Flash and
JavaScript, he wrote. His next major hit was My EHNet or "MyDot" - the first EH
portal system ever with news feeds from around the fleet and around the world.
And then came his major hit, SquadFirst, version 1.0. In
non-IO matters, he's done a plethora of websites for various purposes - EH
Memorium, COMM Office, LO Office, TC Battlegroups, COO Office, among others. His
work has influenced the fleet in so many ways. He and I are now nearly
completely done with the next generation of SquadFirst: SquadFirst+. This
innovative tool will set new standards for Squadron, Wing, Ship, Battlegroup,
Battleteam, House, Clan, Squad, Platoon, Company and Batallion websites in the
TC, IW, DB and HF. Alex Foley has served under my command for many months and
has become my own prot�g�: he has not only learned to think critically of
websites and code, but he has also learned to think in terms of the larger
picture of the betterment of the EH. SquadFirst+ is just a culmination of a long
line of hard work he's invested into this club, and I think that someone who has
put so much effort into the EH like Alex Foley deserves the Grand Order of the
Emperor.
Respectfully,

Internet Office Report #102
July 31, 2003
:: [ Internet Office News ] ::
This week was primarily a coding week for the IO. We've been doing work on
various basic components of EHW, and I can already see we won't have as much as
I'd like done by the end of August. But we'll still keep at it. Reblet, Leeson
and I are doing as much as we can in our spare time. Also, we might have a new
member join the EHW Development team soon, someone who's been retired, but has
had a lot of wargame experience and is considering returning to the EH...guess
you'll just have to wait to find out who!
Alex Foley has also been hard at work coding. SquadFirst+ is tantalizingly close
to being done. Most of the administration components are done except for the
Roster. All of the front-end display is done, too. It will take 1-2 more days
for him to complete it, upon which the IO Staff and myself will review and test
the code. I will also be putting in some additional features, including a
versioning system, and an auto-registration upon install that will register the
site with the new SquadFirst Registry which will come along with the new SF main
site design, using an innovative XML exporting technique.
Also, this week emails were sent out to inactive/rDB MinosNIC hosting accounts.
If you got one and you believe it is in error, contact AD Turtle (eh_turtle@rawx.net).
If you do not respond, your account will be deleted within a week.

Internet Office Report #103
August 8, 2003
:: [ Internet Office News ] ::
This week has been very busy for the IO between SquadFirst+, EHW and other
miscellany. First off, I sent SA Astatine a list of updated links for the TC
site, which will hopefully be up and replace the old, out of date ones.
EH Wargames: we cleared some major obstacles, in terms of logistics and
programming. Leeson also completed a particularly tricky function that was in
the way of map creation. For more EHW info, see my post on the TC message board
at http://www.theholo.net/mb/viewtopic.php?p=108895#108895.
And now, the moment everyone has been waiting for, the release of SquadFirst+!
This is a project the IO, particularly Alex Foley, has been working on for 3
weeks now. It's evolved from it's predecessor quite tremendously with more
functionality and customization. The administration backend interface is more
standardized and scalable for different subgroups and different levels. And now,
the official release announcement:
SquadFirst revolutionized the way CMDRs produced their websites. Since its
conception over 25 squadrons had chosen to use a SquadFirst site. But, we
weren't satisfied with just making a squadron management script. So, we began to
make a website management script for wings, then for ships, and for battlegroups.
But, why stop there? Soon enough support was added for the Infiltrator Wing, the
Dark Brotherhood, and the Hammer's Fist.
The end result is SquadFirst+, one of the most ambitious projects ever created
by the Internet Office. For the past month, MAJ Alex Foley has been developing
the next generation of management scripts. And today, it makes me very proud to
announce that SquadFirst+ v2.0.0 has been released. 6976 lines of code. Over 100
man hours of work. It's the upgrade that a project like SquadFirst deserved.
Also included with SquadFirst+ are 4 new themes. A new theming system within SF+
makes it much easier to make your own theme, having to know practically no PHP
whatsoever. The new themes featured are AT-AT for the Hammer's Fist (by Alex
Foley), Emperor's Hammer: Classic Scenes, the new default theme for SF+ (by Alex
Foley), Stonesaber, a great new Dark Brotherhood theme (by MAJ Xander Drax), and
TIE Phantom, a holonet-looking new theme for the TIE Corps (by MAJ Xander Drax
and FA Leeson).
With SquadFirst+ comes a new SquadFirst website located still at http://squadfirst.minos.net.
Besides a new design, the new site also hosts The Registry, which houses a
master list of all SquadFirst+ sites. Gain inspiration, find custom themes,
chceck out custom code; whatever the end result, The Registry will extend
SquadFirst+ into a community of developers. We hope you enjoy SquadFirst+!
For his efforts, I have recommended Alex Foley be rewarded with the Grand Order
of the Emperor (GOE), pending FC and XO approval. I have also recommended a
Silver Star for MAJ Xander Drax for his work on themes.
:: [ Emperor's Hammer: Site of the Week ] ::
This week's SOTW is, of course SquadFirst+ by Alex Foley. Congrats to Alex on a
5 star site located at http://squadfirst.minos.net
:: [ Internet Office Poll ] ::
What do you think of the brand new SquadFirst+?
-It's all-around amazing!
-Awesome functionality, but I want more themes.
-The themes are good, but the rest is just ok.
-I don't like it/ I don't use it
-It's the best IO project ever!

Training Office Report #18
Admiral Keldorn Cochrane Reporting � 11th August 2003
http://www.emperorshammer.ca/
<SALUTE>
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls,
Welcome to another addition of a Training Office Report. I have been online only
sparingly over the past few weeks, thanks firstly to real-life necessity and
secondly to my e-mail doing offline. The second has now been remedied; my usual
address � gmf@kweeky.net - is back online and functioning fine. If, however, it
ever does go offline again please feel free to contact me on my personal address
(nx.cochrane@btopenworld.com).
The first of the IRC colloquia has been delayed for several weeks to enable me
to get back into the swing of things and for it to be properly publicised
throughout the Emperor�s Hammer. We may even be visited by a distinguished (re;
academic, none of these pansy celebrities ;P) guest to give a short online
presentation. Details for the reschedule will be published shortly.
Fleet Admiral Darkov resigned from his EH posts recently. This saddens me.
Applications for the Active Service Page (ASP) Professorship are once again open
(details below).
I would like to welcome three individuals to the folds of the Training Office.
First and foremost, Captain Amadeo of the ISD Challenge has been selected as the
next Training Office Assistant (TOA)! The selection process was very difficult,
given the large number of incredibly skilled and experienced members who
applies, but CPT Amadeo just had the edge. Colonel Locke Setzer joins the Office
as Eggdrop (BOT) Professor and Captain Chris McCollum as Graphics (GFX)
Professor. Congratulations and welcome to all!
The small Training Officer competition � Apostasy � has now been launched. It is
not a full-scale competition of old, but a cooperative series of events to run
alongside individual SubGroup competitions. Nevertheless, there are Platinum
Ribbons on offer � and a �special prize� will also be available to one lucky
contestant! Full details can be found on the Academic NeXus at: http://www.emperorshammer.ca/comps_apostasy.html
TIE Corps
Time for another reminder for those lovable rogues in the TIE Corps; merit
medals cannot be awarded for competitions unless in *very* special circumstances
� and in such circumstances one should first get the approval of the Operations
Officer before submitting a competition to the database.
Dark Brotherhood
In specific regards to the Dark Brotherhood; the processing of new Applicants
was hit again by the sudden disappearance of my e-mail (this has now been
remedied). But the long-standing database error blocking many Applicants from
progressing in their studies has still not been remedied, I only hope the
Seneschal is not encountering too much hardship in this historical �battle� of
code. It should be noted that myself and the Master-At-Arms are not really in a
position to remedy this ourselves, but there is a manual system in place
(details briefly posted on the Brotherhood domain earlier today). Inquiries may
� of-course � be sent to me at anytime (to@emperorshammer.org). I shall be
shortly advertising for another Magistrate to the Headmaster to assist me in the
day-to-day management of the Shadow Academy, so I advise any interested parties
to start sending me flowers (of the masculine sort) or large consignments of
cash in unmarked bills.
If any Applicants do not receive any form of communication from me within 24
hours of this day please either contact me with your question/submission/problem
or resubmit your Phase I entry. My most humble apologies for this inconvenience.
Imperial Senate
Former Vice Minster Xura Verr has been reinstated to the position of Vice
Minister of Education and has already progressed well on the gradual coding of
the Imperial University into efficient and friendly PHP. He has kept be informed
to an excellent degree, as such I commend him on his work. At this rate, the
fully-automated IU shall be ready for the Senate�s grand re-launch.
Vacancies
Active Server Page (ASP) Professor Open for Applications
The requirements are:
An active member of the Emperor�s Hammer holding the rank of Lieutenant (or
equivalent) or above.
Extensive experience in the programming, installation and management of websites
in ASP.
Be able to grade exam submissions within 24 hours.
Keeping Graduate Counts (total and per month).
Maintaining/updating the Course Notes (basic HTML knowledge necessary; or a good
WYSIWYG editor).
Applications should be sent to me (to@emperorshammer.org) with the subject �BOT
PROF Application�.

Operations Office Report: 08.02.03
As Emailed From:
Former Operations
Officer (AD Khaine)
Operations Office
(URL to be updated soon...!)
2nd August 2003.
Another week passes us by, and with it comes another Operations Office Report.
Squadron Patches
Remember, the patches must be sent to MAJ Tempest (eh_tempest@gmx.net) and
myself (ops@emperorshammer.org) for them to be processed. For those prospective
patch designers, consider that while your patch may look fine at 400x400 or
whatever size you design it at, when it is reduced to uniform size most of your
fine detail will disappear.
Fleet Commander's Birthday Commendation of Loyalty Recommendations
The bi-annual awarding of the Commendation of Loyalty to members of the
Emperor's Hammer who have displayed tremendous dedication to the Fleet is fast
approaching. I have included information for the Command Officers, Advisors and
Subgroup Commanders below.
Tiecorps
Each Squadron Commander can make recommendations to their Wing Commander who
will choose three (3) members of their wing to receive the CoL and forward the
names to their Commodore and Battlegroup Commodore. Each BGCOM may recommend up
to three (3) more awards for their flag officers. The Battlegroup Commander will
collate the awards for their battlegroup and forward the names (with pin
numbers) to the Flight Officer (fo@emperorshammer.org) and myself (ops@emperorshammer.org).
Additionally, the Commander of each Elite Squadron may recommend one (1) of
their members to receive the CoL. This should be sent directly to the Flight
Officer and myself. Therefore the FO and I should only be receiving CoL
recommendations from the Battlegroup Commanders and the Commanders of the Elite
Squadrons.
Dark Brotherhood
Each Clan Consul may make up to three (3) recommendations from their members,
which they will forward to the Chancellor and Grand Master of the Dark
Brotherhood. The Grand Master will also be able to make up to five (5)
additional recommendations for members of the Dark Brotherhood. Once collated,
the Dark Brotherhood recommendations should be submitted to the Operations
Officer (ops@emperorshammer.org) by the Grand Master only.
Hammer's Fist, Infiltrator Wing, Corporate Division, Bounty Hunters Guild,
Intelligence Division, Directorate, Fringe and Imperial Senate
Each of the listed subgroups (excepting the Tiecorps and Dark Brotherhood) will
be able to recommend up to ten (10) members to receive the Commendation of
Loyalty. These recommendations are to be collated and sent to the Operations
Officer (ops@emperorshammer.org) only by the leader of each respective subgroup.
Emperor's Hammer Command Staff and Advisors
Recommendations from each of the Command Staff and Advisors will be received on
a case-by-case basis. Recommendations should be sent directly to the Operations
Officer (ops@emperorshammer.org).
Submission Date
All recommendations must be submitted to myself (and the Flight Officer where
required) by the 19th of August. (That's two and a bit weeks away folks.)

specific pixel size requirements, but I want something banneresque. I'm
accepting submissions in JPG, PNG, and BMP (zipped of course). Members
should submit entries via email to me at io@absolutek.ca before midnight on the
10th of August.
Prizes:
1st Place: IS-GR

Good news for people with single quotes in their usernames on the EH Forums,
they can now login again without trouble (no need to double them up anymore). It
turned out it was actually a problem with phpBB that got introduced with v2.0.5
by their developers.

Communications Office Report #16:
08.11.03
<SALUTE>
I have upgraded the EH Forums to phpBB v2.0.6. This fixes a minor security flaw,
and a few other code bugs. Please let me know immediately via email if there is
anything broken with this upgrade that I have missed. The log actions mod
doesn't work with this new release (only people with admin level access will
notice this), so don't bother using it until I fix it.
I setup a public Internet Jedi Outcast server at 207.44.135.242. EH members are
of course welcome to use it, but they are expected to behave appropriately just
like everybody else playing on it. Any questions, concerns or suggestions about
my JO server should of course be sent to me via email.
An updated CoC draft document has been sent to the FC, XO, IO and SO for
commentary and approval. This includes the new "Idling with Ops" rule, which
means that if you are away or otherwise not paying attention to channels in
which you have operator privileges, you must either deop yourself or change your
nick to reflect your status (ie. AbKAwy, Abk-AFK, etc).

Greetings all. Once again, and I'm absolutely flabbergasted when I say this, it
has been a slow week for the Security Office. My internet connection from home
has finally been re-established *grumble stupid frumblinmessingfressafrubble
verizon bisstids* and I have returned to IRC, to the welcome of some and the
bane of others... :)
As always, make sure not to let problems fester... Contact either myself or my
staff with problems before they become so. See you next week. :)

SO Report #12: 08.09.03
<Salute>
I would love to be able to say my normal, two-sentence "this has been a slow
week, be good" report. I'm rather dismayed I cannot.
There have been certain issues that have cropped up this week, and a case that
has been sent to the HCI for their perusal. Remember, I don't send much to the
HCI, so you can be assured if I have to mention something you've done to them,
it's going to be rather bad, and they're not going to take very kindly to it.
I'd also like to take a moment to go over an idea my predecessor, Fleet Admiral
Brad, was working with before his unfortunate resignation. While I would rather
not force channel operators on IRC to de-op themselves when not actively in the
channel, as in sleeping or idling, or whatnot, it becomes imperative after
certain recent events that something must be done to combat the "useless op"
perception. I am open to suggestions anyone may have on this, or I can implement
my own. I tend to be a little draconian at times, so give me something to work
with here. :)
That's all for this week. Stay good, everyone.

Science Office Report #21: 08.02.03
"Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but
the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway."
<salute>
Welcome to my twenty-first public report as a Science Officer, on time... (oh
yes baby, I'm on a roll!) ...so let's get to the news:
Science Office News:
1. Project Shield, a TAC project, has continued. Currently all the XWA, XvT and
BoP missions/battles have been done. TIE is waiting for some additional changes.
As this project is currently classified, I can not elaborate on it much more
then this.
2. After discussion with the FC, XO, FO, GM and SHW I have
changed the Order of Battle to display the Dark Brotherhood, something which it
didn't before. Each of the clans is now displayed as based on three frigates,
one for each house, with the Sith Squadrons displayed next to them. Noted should
be that the ATF ships have always carried the DB and that before it was actually
the DB fleet until the former GM passed the fleet command over them over to the
TC. As such nothing structural has actually changed; this change was mostly due
to the lack of DB references on the OoB before and for storyline/mission
creation purposes. It also displays the close relation between the DB and ATF
more correctly.
3. In the short break before Project Shield continues and we
launch the new Patch Manager I've decided to release the Hyperion Fighter as a
patch for TIE95 and XvT. The Hyperion Fighter was named after Hyperion Flight in
honour of them winning the Sith Wars, now almost two years ago. The Hyperion
Fighter is a fast and manoeuvrable light interceptor craft with two ions and two
lasers. Its small profile makes it hard to hit while the weapon placement
ensures good accuracy. The Hyperion Fighter was approved and modelled by then
SCO/AD Den Darkhill and textured by myself. A picture of the ship has been
attached to SCO report #8.
4. As a reminder I'd like to note that the only person in the
Fleet that has the authority to commission and approve ships and craft types is
the Fleet Commander, GA Ronin, and that any ships that lack this approval do not
"exist" for EH purposes and as such do not appear on the Order of Battle.
Because the FC is a busy man he has instated the Science Office to take care of
ship matters, but even then he has final approval. (This generally also requires
approval from the SGCOMs in question, the XO and the SCO.) Furthermore, all
ships and fighters are and remain property of the EH - represented in the person
of the Fleet Commander - which allows the _use_ of these craft by the various
units and offices.
Science Office Status:
CA: Admiral Darkhill has been moving house, in which his hard disc was damaged.
Luckily he has been able to retrieve all his EH material and will be back in
full sway as soon as the rest of his PC is replaced/fixed.
SCOA: CM Tim has been working hard on getting the IW site back in action, but
found time to play with Project Cueball as well.
Site: The Science Office site can be found at http://sco.minos.net or via the
redirect http://scienceoffice.isCool.net. The mirror can be found at http://www.gimmie.tudelft.nl/homes/blok10b/ender/sco.
The staff page, the patch archive, reports archive, projects page and Order of
Battle have been updated.
Science Office Projects:
XvT/BoP/TIE95 Ship patches: This project's goal is to add all the original and
Order of Battle craft that are still "missing" from these games, like the SSD in
TIE and XvT, the Medium Transport in all etc. This week saw the release of the
Hyperion Fighter.
Grand Project: The EH Patch Manager Project is going along smoothly - expect it
to be released by the end of the summer. Currently on hold until Den's PC is
completely fixed (compiler won't run as well on his back-up PC).
Project Shield: (TAC Project) XWA, XvT and BoP sections have been completed,
frst part of the TIE section has been prepared - but is waiting for some
additional software.
Finishing up:
I think that's it - If I've forgotten anything or if you have comments,
suggestions or corrections, let me know via email or look us up at #sco. Don't
forget that all the projects are described in more detail on the SCO
site.
(Use only mindb_ender@hotmail.com for official SCO mails.) or ICQ (9706474).
Preferably do not mail large files to me, but DCC them via IRC - I'm practically
always online at #sco, #emperor's_hammer and #tiecorps using the nick MindB_ndr
(or variations.)
All my SCO reports are available online as well: you can reach them on the SCO
site: http://www.minos.net/~sco/reports/index.html but they are on the TIE Corps
site, CS reports, as well.
Until next time, good luck and have fun!

Science Office Report #22: 08.09.03
"Unless we want to give ourselves a really bad reputation, I
just think we should avoid shooting the first people we meet on a new planet."
<salute>
Welcome to my twenty-second public report as a Science Officer, once again on
time... (its just unbelievable ;)) ...let's get to the news:
Science Office News:
1. Main news this week is the release of the Imperial Concourse for XWA. This
patch changes the interior graphics of the XWA rebel cruiser to those of an
Imperial Ship (based on the concourse graphics of TIE Fighter.) and should
improve the "Imperial Atmosphere" when flying EH missions. It also changes
in-game ranks to EH ones, from CT to GA, concourse room names to Emperor's
Hammer CS offices (for example: the Tech Room now is the Science Office) and the
rebel pilot hand cursor to an imperial one. This patch will be updated each time
we've converted another part of the rebel cruiser (next up is the techroom) and
should eventually make XWA a fully imperial game. You can get the patch at
http://www.minos.net/~sco/files/xwa/IMP-XWA.zip, a screenshot is included with
this report.
2. Project Shield (a TAC Project) will continue after this
report is written, it should be finished by the end of this weekend, Tuesday at
the most. Release is partially still on hold because of AD Darkhill's hardware
problems but shouldn't be too far away.
3. CPT Flelm found the solution to the XP/DX problem with TIE95
reported earlier (TIE95 no longer working in XP after installation of DX9):
Here's the steps.
#1 - Download and install the new application compatibility
toolkit (3.0) at http://www.microsoft.com/ (search for compatibility toolkit)
#2 - Put the file at http://www.minos.net/~sco/files/tie/tie.sdb in your TIE95
base folder. #3 - Start the "Compatibility Administrator Tool 3.0"
#4 - Open the "tie.sdb".
#5 - Right-click it, and install.
That should work for most every install of TIE95. If the
previous toolkit worked, this should work too. This will be added to the guide
archive ASAP.
4. Just in from Former LO/FA Ted Tiger: A new MOD for
Battlefield 1942 is being build based on Star Wars. This MOD is called Galactic
Conquest and it features in it's first version the battle on Hoth. You can get
more
information here: http://www.galactic-conquest.net/ (Use the left navigation
panel. The top one is to navigate thru the jolt network.) There's a homepage for
German users, too: http://www.galactic-conquest.de.vu/ The next release of this
mod takes place in three weeks and contains the following battle
locations:Yavin4, Endor, Tatooine.
Science Office Status:
CA: Admiral Darkhill is still suffering hardware problems but should be back up
to his usual self soon.
SCOA: CM Tim has gotten the IW site back in action, and continued work on his
Imperial Hangar for XWA. (Which looks very nifty.)
Site: The Science Office site can be found at http://sco.minos.net or via the
redirect http://scienceoffice.isCool.net. The mirror can be found at http://www.gimmie.tudelft.nl/homes/blok10b/ender/sco.
No major updates this week.
Science Office Projects:
Segway: We've put some new life into this project by finally releasing the
Imperial Concourse. More imperial updates to XWA should be around shortly.
XvT/BoP/TIE95 Ship patches: This project's goal is to add all the original and
Order of Battle craft that are still "missing" from these games, like the SSD in
TIE and XvT, the Medium Transport in all etc. On hold for the
Grand Project.
Grand Project: The EH Patch Manager Project is going along smoothly - expect it
to be released by the end of the summer. Currently on hold until Den's PC is
completely fixed (compiler won't run as well on his back-up PC).
Project Shield: (TAC Project) XWA, XvT and BoP sections have been completed,
frst part of the TIE section has been prepared - and will be continued on today.
Finishing up:
I think that's it - If I've forgotten anything or if you have comments,
suggestions or corrections, let me know via email or look us up at #sco. Don't

Today's report is short and sweet, not a whole lot happened this past week.
First off as some of you know, I've had issues with the DNS on my domain
cosmicholonet.org. I got those problems solved finally last night, so all sites
hosted on cosmicholonet.org should be working now. Sites hosted there include
the LO office page, the Advanced Guard page, the homepage of Galthain's DDD
squad, and a few others. DNS is propegating and sites should be online again
very soon.
Nobody has submitted nominations for the Mr/Ms EH contest, so this week I will
just go and select the contestants myself(Seems to be how it always worked in
the past anyways). If you do want to nominate someone, this is your last chance.
Get those nominations off to lo@emperorshammer.org.
My CA's "Hero's Flag" contest is still going. So far we've gotten only one
submission, so let's get to work on this and send in some graphics. Details for
the contest can be found at: http://www.emperorshammer.net/competitions/details.asp?ID=737
That's it for this week, stay tuned for another adventure packed episode of the

Hey, hey, hey! It's that time again for the LO's report, so sit back and get
ready for the shortest report I've ever written since nothing has happened this
week with my CA being on emergency leave due to a hardware failure and my
hosting company experiencing some difficulties. That's right, the LO site is
down right now. My hosting company HostDime.com is having some trouble with an
upgrade it appears. The site has been down for most of the week, and I've been
assured the problems should be worked out sometime very soon. My CA is on
emergency leave after part of his computer went AWOL, I expect him back sometime
this weekend after he buys a new modem. The deadline for his competition has
passed and all entries have been collected. I must say there are some really
great graphics here and it might take us a couple days to choose between them
for the ultimate winner. That's it for this week, hopefully my hosting will be
back up in the coming week so that we can start to put the Memorium site online.

Greetings from the Recon Office.
Only news this week is that RA Shay'la will be fully taking over the Convention
Database. She will be updating it weekly ( it badly needs it!) and working with
AD Zsinj closely on this. She has a long list of sites that have convention
announcements and plans to put them all to full use.
I am still waiting on a reply from both the GA and the XO on my list of
questions I had typed up. Though with both of them having either email or
illness problems, that's totally expected. Sir, if you wish me to resend the
questions, I probably could in the next few days.
I will be going on a semi-leave until next Monday or Tuesday. Decided on a
weekend trip to see some family I have in South Carolina. I should have limited
e-mail access during the weekend, but I'm not sure.
Anyways, thats about it from the Officer, there is a LOT of SW News in this
report. Let's get to it..
======================================
~* Conventions & Gatherngs *~
Celebration 3 Location Chosen in August
The location of Celebration 3 will be chosen in August, and will also be
announced at the end of August. Lisa Stevens from the Fan Club also stated that
they expected to do more Celebrations in the future after Episode III. Stay
tuned!
The Art of Star Wars exhibit tours Japan
Fans wanting to see C-3PO up close and personal, or stand next to a podracer,
now have their chance with The Art of Star Wars, a new major museum exhibition
featuring over 200 pieces of artwork, props, and costumes from the original Star
Wars trilogy is traveling throughout Japan in 2003 and 2004.
The Art of Star Wars exhibition explores the genesis and production of the films
in the Star Wars saga. It includes original objects used in the creation of the
films, from concept artwork and production paintings to models, prototypes,
costumes and props from the archives of Lucasfilm, Ltd.
Fans will not be disappointed with the bounty of objects on display which
include art of stormtroopers, C-3PO, R2-D2, Darth Vader, the Emperor, Yoda,
Chewbacca and a major Jabba the Hutt model. In addition to various costumes on
display worn by beloved characters of Luke, Leia and Han Solo, there are also
plenty of production drawings and paintings, storyboards and posters (including
the Revenge of the Jedi poster mock-up, which was later changed to Return of the
Jedi.)
Thanks to the The Art of Star Wars exhibit fans gain an understanding of the
evolution from Ralph McQuarrie's production paintings to what is seen on screen.
Many of the displays showcase illustrated ideas, prototypes and final models, so
fans can get a better grasp of the overall creative process in a linear fashion.
Lucasfilm Collections Manager Laela French, Lucasfilm Director of Special
Programs Kathleen Holliday and Industrial Light and Magic Master Model Maker
Lorne Peterson traveled to Japan to help the staff at the prestigious Kyoto
National Museum prepare for the exhibit.
Five will host The Art of Star Wars, which will travel Japan throughout 2003 and
2004. The exhibition opened at the Kyoto National Museum with a grand ribbon
cutting ceremony attended by President of Lucas Licensing Howard Roffman and
none other than C-3PO himself, actor Anthony Daniels.
Following this first exhibition at the Kyoto National Museum, tentative dates
and venues are:
Nagoya Science Museum
October-December 2003
Kyoto National Museum (Episodes I & II)
January-March 2004
Tokyo National Science Museum
March-June 2004

Excerpt - Force Heretic III: Reunion
Introduction
The Jedi move one step closer to saving the embattled galaxy -- only to confront
a formidable wall of resistance in the novel, Star Wars: The New Jedi Order:
Force Heretic III: Reunion by best-selling writing duo Sean Williams and Shane
Dix. The harrowing search for Zonama Sekot is finally over for Luke Skywalker,
Jacen Solo, and the others aboard the Jade Shadow. But joy turns to alarm when
the living planet sends a defiant message: it refuses to follow them back to a
galaxy full of war, exploitation, and misery. While Luke works feverishly to
persuade the elusive planet to reconsider, the Yuuzhan Vong launches a
full-scale attack aimed at the heart of the new alliance. Sent to defend a major
communications base, Han and Leia find themselves hopelessly outnumbered.
Reinforcements are just too far away to help before everything is destroyed. So
the courageous pair must now fight an unrelenting battle against staggering
odds. Whether they actually survive is another matter.

Jedi Academy Release Date
September 16th has been announced as the release date of the upcoming Jedi
Academy. The news come curtesy JK2Files along with box art that is supposed to
be "very close to the final design of the actual cover art (though not exact)".
Check the link to see the image.
New Jedi Academy Media
Jedi-Knight2.de has posted three new videos, as well as new screenshots of Jedi
Academy. Now before your rush over there, their servers are pretty slow, and
overloaded, so TheForce.net have mirrored the videos. All three videos are
zipped WMV's. None is over 3.3 Mb.
The First Video is a Kel Dor wielding two sabers and fighting a Dark Jedi
(probably) who also weild two sabers. The action is fast and intense, and, in my
opinion strikes a blow to those who wanted more realistic saber combat; the
action seems to be a lot of button mashing, and I couldn't see any type of
strategy really.
The second video is what appears to be a female human who wields two yellow
sabers. She takes out a hangar of bad guys shooting at her with blaster rifles,
and one Imperial Heavy Repeater. She force pulls a few, and deflects a bunch of
bolts. The bolt-deflection looked very cool, and level very nice, but really,
nothing new was presented, except for her waving her second saber around.
The Third Video shows a person wielding one saber (finally) who
gets attacked by some tuskan raiders on Tatooine. She is knocked down, rolls
around, gets up, uses a nice combo to take out two of the three Raiders, then
pushed and slices the last.
The Screenshots are something very new. They include information about system
info, install screens, setup, the pull down console, and the character
customization screen.

*** Hyperspace members only ***
Starwars.com Hyperspace brings you closer than ever before possible to the
making of a Star Wars film. Next month, one lucky Hyperspace member will even
win a trip to the Episode III set(Only 10 days left for the contest). But now,
Hyperspace members need no longer be content with just observing the newest Star
Wars epic unfold, they will determine what's in the movie. Director George Lucas
and the Episode III Droid Unit have decided to let Hyperspace members determine
the look of a new droid to appear on the big screen in the summer of 2005. While
Obi-Wan Kenobi may not remember owning a droid, you'll be able to select a
memorable paint scheme for his new astro-unit in Episode III. In the film, this
new droid will accompany Kenobi on a mission aboard his Jedi starfighter. There
are four color schemes, represented here as concept art, from which to choose.
The first is a striped design, with a unique metallic gray blue pattern along a
pewter dome. The second design features a metallic camouflage green eye and
selected panels, aluminum panels, and a pewter dome. The third design has an
embossed circuitry look with raised surface detail on a gunmetal gray head. The
fourth design is very metallic, featuring copper panels on a bronze dome.
To vote for your favorite design, click here. Only Hyperspace members can vote
in the poll. The poll closes at Sunday, August 3, 5 p.m. (Pacific). The Droid
Unit will take winning astromech design into fabrication.

RO Report #20: 08.08.03
<Salute>
Greetings from the Recon Office.
Only a little news from my off this week.
RA Shay'la has contacted ex-ROA Major Loor and he has given Shay'la all codes
and items related to the RO Website. She is now in full control of the site and
plans alittle change.
She has also contacted AD Zsinj and is working with him on updating and possibly
improving the Recon Office's Convention Database. Hopefully thease two projects
will be in full swing within a week or two.
The letters/interviews (atleast the first set) is going out either tomorrow or
the next day. We have approval on both so we are finally getting them off. I
will draw up the next 5 lucky actors/actresses this week too. Hopefully we can
get this to be a bi-weekly or atleast monthly process. Keep your fingers
crossed.
Last thing.. I have been looking at the RO Banner on the EH News page.. and it's
kinda outdated. I am thinking of running an EH-wide comp in a week or two to see
if we can get a better one. If that's okay with the FC and XO that is. ;)
That's it from me, Time for your weekly dose of SW News..

Vader Invades U.S. while Greedo Busts Out
When Koto, Inc. released this striking 1:7 scale soft vinyl kit in Japan last
year with little fanfare this side of the Pacific, it took a groundswell of buzz
from the online collector forums to bring this gem to the attention of the Star
Wars collecting community. It became an instant hit among collectors and fans
alike, quickly draining the inventories of many major importers. For those who
missed it, Dark Horse Comics has stepped up and closed the geographical gap to
bring us this masterfully sculpted Dark Lord of the Sith. Beckoning
confrontation, this dramatically imposing figure stands 13" tall and bears full
homage to the elegance of his sinister design. It's sure to please both figure
collectors and admirers of cinema's most celebrated villain.
Darth Vader is the first of a series of figures already released by Koto (Kotobukiya)
in Japan, including a clonetrooper, Jango Fett, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and a Mace /
Yoda combination kit which follow the dramatic tradition established by the
Vader figure. Exciting times are ahead for fans of this popular series as Dark
Horse works on plans to bring these items to a broader audience.
The Darth Vader figure comes packaged in a large window box, and will be priced
at $99.99. Because of its new domestic distribution, this price is relatively
low compared to what fans have been paying to import the figure directly from
Japan. This kit is scheduled to be available December 3.
Meanwhile, Dark Horse continues the tradition of distributing the quality Gentle
Giant mini-busts with a new release. Greedo, the first in a long line of bounty
hunters introduced to Star Wars fans, is making his Gentle Giant debut on
November 12. Using cutting-edge technology of three-dimensional scanning, Gentle
Giant Studios scans the actors, models, costumes, and props to assure 100%
realism, making these statues the closest one can come to owning a piece of the
Star Wars universe.
Greedo will measure 6.5" tall, and retail for $45. You may want to shoot first
if you want to take this famous Rodian home!
Update From The Floor
As reported by Rebelscum.com
"We've updated our Wizard World coverage with new images from the Hasbro booth.
Stop by our Hasbro Gallery now for images of the latest basic and deluxe figures
announced for later this year!"
Blue Clone Troopers In Chicago
As reported by Rebelscum.com
The Gentle Giant Blue Clone Trooper mini-bust (a Lieutenant ranking in the Clone
Trooper army) will be making an appearance at Wizard World this weekend in
Chicago. Distribution of the bust will be handled a bit differently than what
they did at the recent San Deigo Comic Con, however.
For the first several days of Comic Con, those who were willing to wait in the
line could generally expect to snag a bust (it was about two per person the
first day, and one per person after that). Supplies at Wizard World won't be
quite so plentiful, so the method of distribution will be a little different.
According to the Gentle Giants booth, the Clone Troopers will be raffled off.
One ticket per person, and that ticket is good for the whole show. Drawings will
take place each day at 3 o'clock. The winner will be allowed to purchase a
single mini-bust, and must be present with their winning ticket by the close of
the show on the day the ticket was drawn.
Difficult to get, but a fair method just the same. Good luck to attendees hoping
to walk away with one of the 1000 busts!
Update: We just got word that there will only be 25 busts available for purchase
today (Friday). Still waiting to hear on the other two days, though the numbers
are very likely going to be similar...

November 2003 Comics
Jungle Vader, alternate Return of the Jedi plots and female Dark Jedi: here's a
look at what Star Wars fans can expect from Dark Horse Comics this November.
After the destruction of the Death Star, Darth Vader attempts to make it to an
Imperial safe haven in his crippled TIE fighter, only to crash land in a savage
wilderness. Forced to make his way on foot, attacked by ferocious native
carnivores, Vader shucks off the restraints of Imperial order and Sith schemes
and embraces his raw, wild power. Star Wars: Empire #15 delivers a rare view of
Vader like you've never seen him before. The story is written by Paul Alden and
Raul Trevino, and features cover art byFrancisco Ruiz Velasco. Star Wars: Empire
#15 is scheduled for release in November.
The third installment of Infinities, a series that asks the question, "What
would happen if you changed one little thing from the story in the film?" takes
on the plot of Return of the Jedi. In this version, an accident puts C-3PO out
of commission, and he is unable to act as Jabba the Hutt's interpreter during
his negotiations with Leia (disguised as the bounty hunter Boushh) for her
"prisoner" Chewbacca. One misunderstanding leads to another, and before they
realize it, thermal detonators are flying and everybody's shooting! When the
smoke clears, Boba Fett has reclaimed Han Solo's frozen body, Leia has
commandeered Jabba's sail barge, and Luke is going to be late for an important
rendezvous on Dagobah. Star Wars: Infinities - Return of the Jedi #1, the first
in a series of four, is written by Adam Gallardo, Ryan Benjamin and Saleem
Crawford, and features cover art by Rodolfo Migliari, and is scheduled for
release on Nov. 12.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is alive, but maybe not for long. He and Alpha, the ARC trooper,
are prisoners in the castle of the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress. Not knowing how the
Republic forces on Jabiim are faring, or even if Anakin is still alive, Obi-Wan
and Alpha make a bid for freedom. But their only chance lies in General Kenobi
temporarily casting off his Jedi training and fighting Ventress with the same
ruthlessness that she herself brings to the battle!Star Wars: Republic #60 is
written by Haden Blackman and Brian Ching, with cover art also by Ching, and is
scheduled for release on Nov. 19.

Star Wars CCG Rulings Q&A
The 2003 Star Wars:CCG World Championships are fast approaching. Only three
weeks remain, and we know that all of you are busy gearing up your latest and
greatest decks. However, we also know from past experience that a lot of you are
going to incorporate combos that may hinge on questionable interpretations of
the rules and card texts. In an effort to avoid such problems at the Star Wars
CCG's most important event of the year, Greg Anderson, SW:CCG Rules Advocate,
will be hosting a 90 minute Q&A session on Decipher's Star Wars Gameplay
Messageboard. This will be held at 5:30 PM EDT on August 14, 2003 and will run
until 7:00 PM EDT. As was the case last year, 'Rules theory' will not be
entertained. All questions must relate to specific cards or combos. Then, based
on the questions asked during the Q&A, Greg expects to publish a new Rule Sheet
on August 19, so that everyone has at least a week to look it over before Day 1.
We hope to see you there!

The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi
Greetings all...
As most of you know DGM Darkov resigned earlier this week. Following is my post
from the news page...
That means I'm taking apps:
Requirements:
none... thats right, none. I want apps and you need to figure out what the
requirements are on your own. I won't answer any questions about it on IRC or
via email.
So impress me.
I have received several good apps already but there is still time if you are
interested. Send in your app and I will be interviewing prospective candidate
and discussing them with the DC over the next couple of days before I make a
decision for the GA's approval.
the Apostacy comp is currently running, sign up and get information at http://www.impstar.net/vendetta/
Yes we are all aware that there is no DGM at the moment so all submission go to
KE Frey and KP Rage Akaido as they have graciously taken up that duty with the
departure of DGM Darkov.
The roleplaying system is coming along nicely and I hope all of you enjoy it. I
know that I have been pretty close mouthed about it so far but I at least want
to get it into a draft format before you all pick it apart. Hopefully by the end
of next week I'll have that available for everyone to go over.
I hope everyone will congratulate me. I just got my medallion for resisting SWG
for 5 days straight. I've even uninstalled it from my system and given the CDs
away to my brother... the evil spectre of Evercrack for Star Wars geeks will
bother me no more. :)
Also I thought I'd give you this update on the Robes, Lightsabers and Grant of
Arms. While Kethoron is set to take up the mantle of Herald when he returns from
Greece in 2 weeks his Praetor has been busy. Gelton has been acting HRLD in his
stead. Keth before he went on leave came up with some blanks for robes that I
think you'll all be pleased with. Also Gelt has come up with a system that will
give us some 20,000 potential lightsaber combinations and I can't wait to see
it. Also he had laid out new graphics for the Grant of Arms and a potential way
to automate a large portion of their creations... though the HRLD and P:HRLD do
want to personalize each one towards the end of their creation.
From the Chancellor
Welcome to another edition of the CHAN Report.
It's been a busy week awarding medals again; big heaps were awarded for the
Tarentum Phoenix competition and the Grand Master's Throne competition. The last
named competition gave OBM Gelton Torr (Tarentum CON) his *second* Emerald
Dagger. Watch your back in the dark, I'd say.
In regard to the DSC, I have completed coding a backend that allows for easy
changes to things like layout and extensive cross-linking, and have copied over
several chapters in it so far. If you wanna see what I'm doing, you can take a
peek at http://borgcube.xs4all.nl/dsc/view.php while I'm online.
In other news, multiplayer matches in #ehcoc will be coming back for
the DB. Me and Autoris Maximus are currently working on a new version of the
competition script that will feature support for the DB and DB-specific
platforms (Jedi Knight and Jedi Outcast).
That's it for now,

*take 2, yahoo just freaked out on me, have to retype*
-Plans are in the works for a major restructuring of the HF rosters. We will be
moving more towards a special forces model, with specialized detachments for our
various trooper types. Platoon leaders will also have slightly fewer troops
under their command, but they will be given much greater responsibility over
their troops. The squad leader position will change a bit and they will be doing
a job similar to a FL in the TC.
-The CSMA office has launched, CSMA2K. Basically a push to get over 2000 courses
graded for the CSMA office. Whats after CSMA2K? CSMA3K of course.
-From LtCol. Domingo Chavez.. This is it, guys. Operation Hurricane begins in
one week, and I need volunteers. There's a section of the Op (Namely, the run
on. :P) dedicated solely to the Airborne troopers, and if you want to get in on
that group listen up. What I need is two officers to lead the shebang, two NCOs
ranked Staff Sergeant or better, and eight NCO's under the rank of SSG. All of
the volunteers should e-mail me personally (eh_janson@shaw.ca) with their name,
and if not already =AIR= certified, be sure to get so by next Friday, when the
op starts!
-Operation Bright Light is finishing up, keep on posting guys, we need to bring
this thing to the an end shortly. Make sure to do the other activities also,
shinnies will be given out and your id line will increase in length :)
-Offical HF dress uniforms are being worked on. Suggestions are being thrown out
and new stuff is being added by the day, they are looking great. (yay for MS
Paint)
That's about all I have this week.

<salute>
Greetings troopers. Yes, I�m back! My leave got a little out of control
last month, but I�m here and back to work.
-First of all, I�d like to announce our intention to acquire new ships
to refit our fleet and transport capabilities.
We�ll ask the �bber boss for a AFRG for each detachment, and a Strike
cruise for GS.
The lFRG will stay as fire cover. But it�s up for the upper links in
chain of command to decide if we�ll have those ships or not!
-LTC Delak returned and he�s now in charge of the Hammer�s Fist Tactical
Command, our SWGB special unit. Details with him or the Field Manual.
-Looks like I�m going to put my hands on SWG pretty soon. As soon as I
get it, I�ll think of something so we can use the game.
So far I thought only about some tasks and so, and according to the
number of our trooper using the game, we can think of other stuff, as
Operations.
Again, I still need to put my dirty hands on it to discover it better.
-As most of the GS agreed, we�ll run a significant change on the
structure. More details when Dingo returns! Basically we�ll rename the
squads to detachments and give proper job to some troopers.
-Dark Legionnaire? What is it? Well, we better get it online soon, so
bring on the submissions! Email me for that with DL as subject!
hf_mordred@uol.com.br
-I�m changing again the medal & award meeting. The argument to make not
the troopers wait for rewards fade out the importance of it! Doing it
monthly again will make them work to get promoted and I�m working on a
nice promoting table so I can check on everyone�s progress from time to
time!
-CRO Lander also made sure to note the importance of pirate movies n our
culture and stated "Pirates of the Caribbean. It has pirates in. And I
like it. It's a very good movie"
-PRG is going fine. No big trouble with those kids. We�re now officially
enroled at the COC, so we expect some increase in the games.
From CO office:
News:
Operation Bright Light is winding down (alittle late) and LTC Chavez is
about to begin Operation Hurricane. I apologize for extending the
runon,
but everyone seems to be writing good posts (even Kuro is somewhat in
the
right place).
Scores and awards will be announced this weekend for Operation Bright
Light.
Upcoming Operations:
Operation Hurricane commences this evening at 1930 CST after the
meeting.
Other news:
Uniforms are progressing. We are about 60% complete with rank images
and
devices. Dress Uniform base template is designed.
That�s all
Thanks

INFILTRATOR WING FLIGHT OFFICER REPORT
Acting Commander of the Infiltrator wing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flight officer & Acting Infiltrator wing commanders Address
I am hoping to have some good news for everyone Soon, regarding the infiltrator
wing Site, I have heard rumors our Head people have made contact with our
Hosts.. Well done timmay and Gavin.
Once the site is operational, The infiltrator wing will be once
again be looking good. Both wings are remaining active, And despite the lack of
a operation web site. We are still getting recruits in. Well done to those
responsible for recruiting new members.
Keep up the Great work people.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IW MELEE DIRECTOR CHOSEN
I would like to congratulate Colonel Madhatter on him being chosen as the IWMD..
He has been most active in the melee and he understands what the IW melee needs.
I hope his presence and idea's, Kick start a new Multi player
Regime here in the infiltrator wing.
Below is his first Statement. Enjoy
ADDITION #1:
I will be introducing a Craft Specific Mini-Comp within the Melee, meaning, A
craft will be selected at the beginning of the month and the pilot who attains
the most KILLS in that craft for the month will be awarded a WRC, and be deemed
"Craft Adept" for the given craft that month. I am hoping this will instill
interest in those who prefer to fly a specific craft and move them to want to
compete.
ADDITION #2:
I am also introducing the "Battle the Legends" mini-comp as well. The way this
will work is simple. A pilot of the IW will simply make an open challenge over
the IW Egroup to one of the IW Melee Legends
VA Mailk - 531 Wins - Xwing - Tie interceptor
VA Darkmage - 543 Wins ( 23 times winner of the IW Melee ) Tie interceptor -
FA Moreco - 189 Wins ( 8 times winner of the IW Melee ) A- Wing
The challenged Legend MUST then ACCEPT the pilot's offer for a melee. Upon
acceptance, it will be up to the two to arrange the battle.
The melee will be flown 5/5, no exceptions. IF the pilot WINS, he will be
awarded:
1st Win = MC-2
2nd Win = MC-1
5th WIn = WRC
10th Win = CBV (After attaining 10 wins, the cycle starts over)
****NOTE**** To be ELIGIBLE for the CBV, you MUST have flown at least two of the
Legends more than 2 times.
***NOTE*** Legends matches MUST be challenged over the IW Egroup!! They will
count as normal melees unless that is done!! Then, the message from the D-Base
MUST be FWDed to me! HaTTer@Infiltrator-Wing.com
In the case of craft specific Legends, the Challenger MUST fly the craft that
the Legend is known for. Example, If you challenge FA Moreco, the match MUST be
flown in A-Wings. Kill Legends can fly whichever craft the pilots decide on.
ADDITION #3:
This isn't really an addition, but more of an aid to the pilots who wish to
melee. I will be adding an IRC channel to aid those seeking Melee matches. This
will not be a channel for idling, just for arranging matches and finding out who
really wants to be a part of the IW Melee.
Channel will be #IW-Melee. Hope to see it filled up soon!
Well that is all I have for now, I have more ideas in this noggin of mine that
may show themselves after I evaluate the status of the Melee.
Have fun everyone and I hope to see the Database getting filled up quickly!!!

Been a good week for the Division, with progress being made. Alot of the
Trainee's who have exceeded their Three Month limitation period (they had three
months to complete their training) have been removed, creating a more accurate
roster count.
VA Leeson this week got around to completing quite a bit of the new roster, with

wish to be in. If you wish to be a part of CDNG, you should also email AbK
stating so.

1. SDIR returns from leave.
Yes it�s true, I�ve returned to save you all from As and Davi ;). I�ve finished
reading all the email I received while I was away so you should receive replies
shortly. I�m still very jet lagged and hence not thinking clearly so I�ll hold
off on making any important decisions for a few days, such as what medals to
award to those who have taken over my duties during
my absence.
2. ExDIR on leave
As you should have already heard, Aseret is on leave between July 29th andAugust
14th.
3. Commendations of Loyalty
It�s fast approaching [CoL] time (see the TC manual for medal details). COs
please send recommendations to me ASAP.
4. Academy of Tactics Situation
I�m not entirely sure what�s going on at the AoT at present since I�ve yet to
speak to Raith since returning from leave but, in case it is warranted, here is
the usual announcement�.
I�ve started to receive notification of general test marks; however there is
still a backlog of tests at the AoT. I believe Raith�s last guess was that there
are around a 100 different submissions still to mark. Marking tests isn�t fun at
the best of times so please help him out -
a) Only send in tests once. VA Raith has received your tests.
Sending him another copy of your answers every couple of days is not helpful and
it�s very demoralizing for Raith.
b) Only submit one test. If you're waiting for your General test
to be marked possibly the LEAST constructive thing you can do is to then go
through the AoT and submit as many of the other tests as you can - if a trainee
sends 6-10 tests in while he waits for the General test to be graded the only
effect it will have is that it'll take 6-10 times longer to grade them...
c) If you've submitted the General test then please email me -
sdir@ehintel.org <mailto:jediaseret@yahoo.com> - and she'll assign you to a
Bureau, where I assure you there is plenty of work to be done.
5. Agents Com-link
I have loads of stuff lying around which could be assembled into a reasonable
looking Com-link (Intel�s newsletter) so hopefully a new edition will be
released before the month is out. If you have anything which you feel would make
a nice addition to the Com-link (please feel free to produce new stuff too) send
it to me at sdir@ehintel.org <mailto:sdir@ehintel.org> and you�ll receive
something delightful and shiny (also known as a medal).
6. Recruitment
The Intelligence Division is still actively recruiting. If you�d like more
information about the Intelligence Division please go here: <http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=6690>
or alternatively email me at sdir@ehintel.org <mailto:sdir@ehintel.org>. If
anyone already within the Division can think of someone who they reckon would
make a great agent then please recommend them to me and I�ll get in touch.
(Don�t approach them yourself unless you�re a BUDR or above though).
7. INTORG Recruitment
I have five open spaces left in INTORG. If you are interested in a position with
the IDs elite Bureau email sdir@ehintel.org <mailto:sdir@ehintel.org> and I�ll
get back to you with more details of the positions available.

sends 6-10 tests in while he waits for the General test to be graded the only
effect it will have is that it'll take 6-10 times longer to grade them...
c) If you've submitted the General test then please email Aseret
- jediaseret@yahoo.com - and she'll assign you to a Bureau, where I assure you
there is plenty of work to be done.
2. Agents Com-link
I have loads of stuff lying around which could be assembled into a reasonable
looking Com-link (Intel�s newsletter) so hopefully a new edition will be
released before the month is out. If you have anything that you feel would make
a nice addition to the Com-link (please feel free to produce new stuff too) send
it to me at sdir@ehintel.org and you�ll receive something delightful and shiny
(also known as a medal).
3. Recruitment
The Intelligence Division is still actively recruiting. If you�d like more
information about the Intelligence Division please go here: http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=6690
or alternatively email me at sdir@ehintel.org. If anyone already within the
Division can think of someone whom they reckon would make a great agent then
please recommend them to me and I�ll get in touch. (Don�t approach them yourself
unless you�re a BUDR or above though).
4. INTORG Recruitment
I have two, possibly three open spaces left in INTORG. If you are interested in
a position with the IDs elite Bureau email sdir@ehintel.org and I�ll get back to
you with more details.

CHS Report #32: 08.02.03
� News �
Orv has nearly completed the High Council profile. For any of
you (High Councilors) who have gotten on AIM recently (that I've seen), which
means none of you, I'm waiting for you to sign on so I can show you. The
functionality is *much* different than any roster we've had before (well, so are
the planetary profiles). Orv actually improved upon my original design, which he
always seems to. The positions are divided into three categories:
the Chancellery, the Ministry, and the Electoral (for lack of a
better word at the moment). You can either send messages on the [future]
communiqu� to the entire High Council, everyone in one of those three
categories, someone's respective office (i.e. the Ministry of State, which would
include the Minister and Vice Minister, or for the Chancellery, the CHS, his
aide, and the DCH and his aide), or individually (which you'll be able to do
with any member). For the Senator Prime, his office is listed as the "Senate
Assembly." If you click that [future] link, you'll have the option of sending a
message to every Senator, every Representative, or the entire Senate. Also, the
grievance form instated by former Senator Prime Marcus Stormwind will be in both
the Ministry of the Interior and Senator Prime offices. The reason being that
the SPR handles Senate-wide grievances, whereas the M:INT handles grievances
with certain positions (if someone is slacking off). It's difficult to explain
without being able to show anyone (other than HC'ers and select individuals),
but when you click a High Councilor name, you'll see his latest 5 reports, his
miniature profile, and a "send this High Councilor a message." Clicking his
position will give you a more in-dept description and detailed history of the
position. Clicking his office will give you the Communiqu�, the office
description, the website, an agenda (for the HC'er), the grievance form (if
applicable), and perhaps something else. The High Council profile, like the
Planetary Profile, will be equipped with a miniature messageboard.
I've begun work on the first volume of "Imperial Senate Planetary Issues", which
is comprised of Issues 1-50 that Minister Goersase and I are busily working on.
So far, these issues take up 11 pages (with 9 issues), and I'd estimate the
final document to be well over 50 pages. Also included will be one mock
planetary dispatch for each planet, the initial planetary description, and
possibly the outcome of one potentially selected option. Siterath and I plan to
have 5 issues for each planet completed within 2 weeks time. The intent of this
document is to outline Planetary Issues to Ronin and Astatine before submitting
them to the database. If Ronin finds any problems (which I will note potential
problems, and aide him with easy
navigation), then we'll want to change him before he informs us too late. The
only problem I foresee, however, is with the quoting we do in the "options"
portion, but that is easily remedied. Anyway, that's it for this week, I think.

Hello sirs, great news, the FMC site is up, everything is
completed but cantina and reports section, The join form was up but had minor
problems so my trusty friend is working it (CM Bryan) 8-P We have a New dean is
will be Captain Frey, he is going to head up our academy, and currently have the
PMO, SMO, and DOC Test and notes completed the site is being created for the
academy, and the graphics for the front page is already done. The membership for
the FMC will be open in very few days. If possible would I be aloud to write a
descriptive recruitment or membership opening to put on the EH database, well
thank you again sirs, we have come along way from a FMC group that most forgot
about to a killer site, with lots of info back up check it out 8-)

FMC News
-Well first off it seems we are getting complaints from every SG
except for three. TC, DB, and IW. All other SGs WILL be closed into membership
just for them, but if the COs of that SG e-mail me requesting it to be open, we
will then open it. But do not worry those EH members that are not in any of
those 3, we are opening a separate Roster for Members stationed just on the Last
Hope. In the siming perspectives, these would be the Docs, and Nurses in times
of battles that get sent out on ships to the location to help treat, rather than
simply being stationed there. It will consist the same with 1 PMO, and PNO, and
2 SMOs, and 2 SNOs, and about 5 Docs, and 5 nurses, till it grows. We plan on
adding a more Rping role too in the FMC when people want to have a little bit
more, we want to add a little bit more of a medical role for fun, like having
RPing roles in fictions, make Medical Graphics, and poems, just for fun, but
remember our main job, we are suppose to all be walking facts, and a help, DO
NOT interfere with anyone's fights, or problems, simply ask if they need help,
if they say no leave it alone, if they say yes, help them, get their superiors
advise, we are walking facts to the EH and as long as we don't abide by these
rules people eventually hate the FMC, so please do not constantly tried to help
someone unless asked, thank you.
-Second, People the join form IS NOT working, it seems Bryan has yet another bug
in it, SO please, instead of waiting it out just simply send me and bryan an
e-mail at shsbryan@yahoo.com and mo@emperorshammer.org telling us your name rank
and position, which SG your in and where you want to be positioned, if its not
one of the three I listed above, request it on the new roster.
-Also Calling all Wing Commanders, if you have any reccs. or if you yourself
want to be in your wing Doc, and nurse, or even head up the BG, please drop us a
line just read above what should be put in it.
So far going awesome, besides I have not heard from Karim with my updated
Manual, and the join forming being down all is well, and over time we will turn
the cantina into a interactive database, Members are joining up like crazy,
currently 9 are active, within a few days of opening up and once we add this
last roster I'm sure more will join sir, its going great, thank you again, and
have a great day.

Sir I know this is a bit of a late notice, but Id like to ask of a favor. As you
probably know I am running a comp for a "flag" for the EH memorial. This comp
has been running for a little over a week with a week left, so far I have
recieved 3 entries. And honestly I want more, I have very little exposure for
this, only the MBs, and various pestering, but Id like to ask if you would post
this on the TC domain and possibly the EH domain. I have also asked the various
SGCOMs to post these details on their sites but I have seen no such thing done.
Anyways if you will these are the details:
Competition Name/Title A Heroes Flag
Submitted by: CA:LO/RA Daniel Stephens/CA-11/SSSD Sovereign
Parties Involved All Emperors Hammer subgroups
Missions/Battles Used none
Medals to be Awarded IS-PR to winner, IS-GR to second, IS-SR to third, and IS-br
to the 4th
Miscellaneous Information This is a competition to make a "flag" of sorts for
the Emperors Hammer Memorial. I also want to have the EH logo on the flag,
but I don't want the whole flag to be taken up by it.
It needs to be around 50K or less in size with a resolution
that's comparable to a standard splash image, I believe the normally don't
exceed 300x300, but I could be wrong. As for format we'll only except JPG, TIF,
or PNG. Other formats don't have the compression to really allow a nice image to
have a small file size.
Thank you in advance sir,

<SALUTE>
Today is a day that I have thought long and hard. I have looked at what I have
done in the past two weeks and I see nothing other than a few meetings to try
and set alliances. I also know that its only going to grow worse. The AG has
been my home for a long time, no matter how inactive or active it was. I am just
really worn out, I was worn out before I got the job, but I kept going no matter
what. I have done my best and I don't think it was enough. That's why I feel
that I should step down. I am not only leaving the position of LA, but the EH as
a whole. The EH has given a lot to me. I can only hope that the little that I
gave back can be enough for now. I don't doubt that I will come back one day.
For now I'm pry going to join my friends. Im sorry that I
couldn't have served on longer, but I will say this. This is my choice. I am
leaving with no regrets. I have accomplished every thing I have wanted to in the
EH. The final thing being to reach any form of Admiral and serve the EH has one
of its officers. This I have done, whether I did a good job or not is up to the
people that served under me and the ones that I served as an advisor. I know
that I will lose my rank of RA due to me leaving to early, but it doesn't bother
me. I am happy just knowing I got to serve with all of you. Thanks you guys, I
don't know how I can repay you. I probably never will be able to. If I am to be
expelled for my choice of joining my friends I accept all charges. I don't
expect to be treated differently than any other member. If anything I should be
treated harsher because I am an officer. This will pry anger many of you, and
all I can do is ask for your forgiveness. I am only human. If this is a mistake,
I will know soon enough. If you haven't closed this e-mail already I would like
to thank three men.
Vice Admiral Darknyte - "DN, you have done so much for me, you took me under
your wing and showed me the real world of the EH. You are the reason I got this
job. Do not think I am casting it aisde, this is something that has been on my
mind for a while. I appreciate every thing you have done for me, I know there is
no way I can return the favours. Simply because you are better than me in all
ways. I hope to always be your friend. Take care bro."
Grand Admiral Ronin - "Ronin, the instant I got the job you just took me on as a
friend. You never questioned my word on club things. You treated me as an equal
and not an underling. This is something very few commanders can do. You are a
talented man and will always be a friend in my book. I could always come to you
when I had a problem. Thanks Mr Ronin. This club wouldn't be the same with out
you."
Sector Admiral Astatine - "Ast you have put more work into this club than I
could ever imagine. I never got to get to know you. Nor will I probably ever
will. However, this doesn't make you any different in my eye. I wish I could
have been as good a man as you. Take care and I really hope people start seeing
your work in this club, it is really more than one would think. Thanks for every
thing."
With this said I place my resignation and leave. Take care you guys, I will
never forget the great times you allowed me to have. If you never want to see me
again, its the least I can do for all the things you have done for me.

GA Ronin,
Greetings,
Just wanted to pass on a report about Saddam's sons. There is currently a
gag-order on talking about the
operation as it holds a security clearance is above civilian speak. What I can
say is that the 101st Airborne was at the operation, the Operation was in Mosul,
and the soldiers involved wore black hearts (each brigade wears a different
symbol, we are the Black Heart Brigade) on their kevlar helmets. I can also say
that myself and my men are stationed in Mosul, we are a part of the 101st
airborne, and we wear black hearts on our helmets. heh
Everything here is going well, my men have all had a case of low morale due to
the fact that it appears we will be here until March, that will be one year for
us. My bank account will love it, my fiancee will not. My wedding date was in
December. hehe, not anymore.
I just recently bounced back into the DB, moving in as the Arcona Pro Consul due
to the lack of members in Arcona. Felt like lending a helping hand. Not to
mention i need some relaxation time when I get on the computer. Still waiting
for a joystick before returning to the TC where I am going to steal somebody's
Battlgroup, hehe!
That's about it for my update now. Currently myself and my men are in Arbil,
Iraq doing a quick week mission with some secret squirrel civilians. We are
rather close to the Iranian border. That is a bit chilling.
I will email you again in a month or so with another update. Ill try to pass on
a picture of myself and my boys before to long.

XO Report #25:
07.26.03
As Emailed From:
Executive
Officer (SA Astatine)
Office of the XO
I'm sitting here trying to think of what to write for this, but
it's pretty obvious there really isn't much point. Recent events have shown a
few home truths. If I speak my mind, even in a private conversation, I get in
trouble for it, regardless of how true those statements are, yet other members
of the command staff are allowed to get away with consorting with rDB people as
well. Then we have the never-ending stream of emails from myself and the Fleet
Commander about reports, about rosters, about doing this, about not forgetting
to do up your fly before you walk out the door and so on.
The fact of the matter is the me that joined the EH is vastly different to the
me now. When I joined the EH, I was doing a Diploma of IT and had a lot of free
time. The Diploma was easy for me, with little homework allocated and the free
time was rapidly consumed by the shiny new internet connection I had at the day
(wow, 100megs a month!).
Things changed and I had even more free time, due to
unemployment. Now things are different. For the last year or so, I've been
working, most of that full time. The last two Saturdays were spent doing work
too. At the start of this month, I was given direct employment as a full time
employee of the organisation I work for. I go to work and put up with people too
dumb to check if their caps lock key is on when they can't login or to see if
the monitor is actually switched on when "nothing comes up on the screen!". I
put up with co-workers who work in a Christian orientated social services
organisation meant to help society, yet they're such cheap bastards that they
won't even cough up $5 to help a co-worker with a parking fine. Then I come home
to the EH.
I come home to an EH where I'm blamed for a database that isn't being made fast
enough, by people who've never done ASP/database work in their life. I get
blamed by people who don't realise that I coded much of the DB site in my
Christmas break and two long weekends, 600k of code, the equivalent of well over
100 pages of text. How many of you could claim to have written a story that long
in 6 months? Not many, I bet. Even while that goes on, even while the business
with Mirei happened and then the rDB thing and now my recent HCI-enforced leave,
all those times when I needed you guys, people who, in most cases, I hand picked
myself, when I needed you people to be there to do your job that extra bit
better, I'm felt let down slightly.
Perhaps the saddest part for me is every time I try to talk to someone about how
much I get upset/hurt/sad by the EH, the amount of empathy I get back is
reaching into a zero point. Basically, people don't give a
**** about crazy old Ast. Except when they need a cushy job or a promotion or
medal, of course. Then you're suddenly my best mate. Unlike some people who've
come out of the woodwork lately, spouting off
about claims here and there, I *can* lay down a log of claims that are both at
the same time true and beneficial to the EH.
The relationship between owners of the EH, myself and Ronin, and the command
staff is one of trust and partnership. We vest into the COs of the EH a trust to
do their allocated job. In many ways, being a CO in
the EH is like most RL jobs. The pay sucks, you might not get along with the
boss, the working conditions aren't that good, but when job satisfaction hits,
it's better than any drug. It's like seeing a network fire up perfectly, like
art. It's like a carpenter finishing off a chair and knowing he's done a damn
good job. It's about pride.
So while I've been accused of being abrasive, abrupt and rude, you might want to
consider if you've done enough to breech that. I can only be nice for so long
while I get a cold shoulder before it pisses me off. And a number of people have
heard I'm a jerk, prick, etc and have made the effort to talk to me and found me
not that bad. Usually, I end up being friends with those persons. So, in that
context, the partnership between the owners and the COs only works if we both
make the effort and meet each other in the middle. I've tried being nice,
threatened, yelled, I've tried everything to try to motivate you guys. This
email is the last resort because I'm just flat out of ideas. Contrary to what EH
folklore might say, I don't really enjoy firing most people. It's time consuming
and "evil". You're amassing resources (in this case, evidence) to do harm to
another human being. Maybe managers with their soul-consuming MBAs get off on
it, but I don't in most cases.
The summary message in all this is I can only work as well as you guys work back
to me. Some of you do a fantastic job. Some don't. The ones in the first group
just need to keep doing that, the ones in the second...well, they know what they
need to do.
As for EH matters, obviously I haven't done much work the last couple weeks
because of that delightful HCI leave. Next week's report should have more work
and less "deep" stuff.

Introduction
Hello Emperor's Hammer.
Another week has passed. Another busy week. I started to realize
that I am not be doing my TAC duties as I should. I am not on IRC very often, I
don't have time to help Ender with Shield. Saturday is the only day when I can
do more TAC duties. Well. I try to keep up with HSs checking and other duties,
but I feel that's not enough. However I feel my resignation would do more harm
then good, so I have decided to stay here and use my knowledge and skills for
EH. With outstanding Tactical Staff, I will be able to keep this office running
for one more month and then I will have more time :)
Mission Creation Corner
Special thanks to TCC:XvT for his tips :)
Well, what shall we begin with today? I think its a notable
suggestion to start with Plotline design and creation. Just exactly what is it
that brings to mind a plot? Hmm...let see the inert want to create a mission or
battle that no one has yet to do. Well in this day and age, that's real hard to
accomplish, but it can be done. Usually one gets a fantastic idea to create a
mission or battle while flying someone else's creation.
With this in mind, you should a couple of things prior to starting your
mission.tie file.
Is to create a plotline or mission outline (why?) Well this can help put things
into perspective of the way your mission might need to be created, or the amount
or type of craft present. Plus it will give you an idea as to how the mission
should perform when its created.
Make a list of goals to accomplish in your mission plotline. Or make it a note
in the plotline brief, that way the people who are flying your mission have a
basic understanding of what they are going to be doing.
Here you could create a list of ships that will be present in the mission. This
will help you decide what type of fighters you may want to add, as well as
capitol ships. Of course this can always be changed, but atleast you'd have an
outline of a generic set of ships to play around with while making your mission.
Once all of this is completed, what do you have left to do? Well for one, now
you have your plotline in which to add to your readme file. This can be an added
advantage to those flying your mission, since they might have an idea how your
mission is set up. Plus it can help get you a better rating when they grade your
creation.
Keeping in mind that a plotline doesn't have to be exotic, nor
does it have to be longer than a nice sized paragraph. But you should always
have a plotline with your readme so that at the least the testers know what to
expect when they are testing your newest creation.

Internet Office Report #101
July 25, 2003
:: [ Internet Office News ] ::
Hello folks, it's time for another IO Report with this lovely new design! (I
really like it!)
CPT Drako is back from a 2 week leave due to RL commitments. He's resumed his
site projects, including the Skye Rangers site for GA Ronin, and the ASF site.
Also, we'd like to express a big "Welcome Home" to AD Turtle who has finally
returned home after several months in army training. Good to have you fully
back, Yurt!
We've begun working on laying the groundwork for coding of EH Wargames. Members
of the dev team will be developing the required classes and objects so we can
move ahead.
And, the most consuming thing that's taken up IO time this week has been
SquadFirst+. MAJ Alex Foley has been hard at work on development and it's coming
along fabulously. Last night he completed the biggest hurdle, the rosters for
different subgroups and began the administration section. He intends to have it
completed within a few days. When it is done, FA Leeson and I will review it. I
will also be coding in a versioning system so it will be easy for us to locate
what version of SF+ people are running (in order to better diagnose bugs).
Hopefully SF+ will be ready for release next week!
Also, we've found a new editor-in-chief for The Holonet Journals, Issue #3 -
Flelm! Keep your eyes out for his pestering!
:: [ Emperor's Hammer: Site of the Week ] ::
This week's SOTW is the new Combat Operations Office site by RA Autoris (

Operations Office Report
29th July 2003.
Another quiet week in the Operations Office. I have received four CoL award
submissions to date; remember the deadline is on the 19th of August, that's
around three and a half weeks away, but there's no reason why you shouldn't send
in your submissions early.
Medal Recommendation Advice.
I have commented on this once before, but it doesn't seem to have reached
everyone. Answering or replying to e-mail is not grounds for a merit award. It
is basic expectation that every member who isn't either absent or AWOL should
answer their mail.
Now, onto another little point. There is only so much time I can dedicate to the
EH and filing spurious medal requests that you might think are funny eats up too
much of that time. Don't abuse the medal recommendation system and don't waste
my time.
Fleet Commander's Birthday Commendation of Loyalty Recommendations
The bi-annual awarding of the Commendation of Loyalty to members of the
Emperor's Hammer who have displayed tremendous dedication to the Fleet is fast
approaching. I have included information for the Command Officers, Advisors and
Subgroup Commanders below.
Tiecorps
Each Squadron Commander can make recommendations to their Wing Commander who
will choose three (3) members of their wing to receive the CoL and forward the
names to their Commodore and Battlegroup Commodore. Each BGCOM may recommend up
to three (3) more awards for their flag officers. The Battlegroup Commander will
collate the awards for their battlegroup and forward the names (with pin
numbers) to the Flight Officer (fo@emperorshammer.org) and myself (ops@emperorshammer.org).
Additionally, the Commander of each Elite Squadron may recommend one (1) of
their members to receive the CoL. This should be sent directly to the Flight
Officer and myself. Therefore the FO and I should only be receiving CoL
recommendations from the Battlegroup Commanders and the Commanders of the Elite
Squadrons.
Dark Brotherhood
Each Clan Consul may make up to three (3) recommendations from their members,
which they will forward to the Chancellor and Grand Master of the Dark
Brotherhood. The Grand Master will also be able to make up to five (5)
additional recommendations for members of the Dark Brotherhood. Once collated,
the Dark Brotherhood recommendations should be submitted to the Operations
Officer (ops@emperorshammer.org) by the Grand Master only.
Hammer's Fist, Infiltrator Wing, Corporate Division, Bounty Hunters Guild,
Intelligence Division, Directorate, Fringe and Imperial Senate
Each of the listed subgroups (excepting the Tiecorps and Dark
Brotherhood) will be able to recommend up to ten (10) members to receive the
Commendation of Loyalty. These recommendations are to be collated and sent to
the Operations Officer (ops@emperorshammer.org) only by the leader of each
respective subgroup.
Emperor's Hammer Command Staff and Advisors
Recommendations from each of the Command Staff and Advisors will be received on
a case-by-case basis. Recommendations should be sent directly to the Operations
Officer (ops@emperorshammer.org).
Submission Date
All recommendations must be submitted to myself (and the Flight Officer where
required) by the 19th of August. Late submissions will be rejected. If there are
any questions, please ask and don't leave it until the last minute.

"If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the
shoulders of giants."
<salute>
Welcome to my twentieth public report as a Science Officer, on time... (I must
be ill!) ... so let's get to the news:
Science Office News:
1. Not much news this week cause I'm putting all my time (ALL, I barely eat or
sleep :P) in to finally getting TAC's "Project Shield" done. Currently all the
XWA missions/battles have been done, XvT is in its finalizing stages and I think
I can get the whole thing (BoP/TIE) done this week. As this project is currently
classified, I can not elaborate on it much more then this.
2. AD Darkhill has been continuing work on the EH Patch Manager,
which is working for XWA and now is being built for XvT (which is the base for
the TIE and BoP parts.). The Patch Manager will improve the patches of the EH
considerably in ease of use, ease of making, stability and support of Operating
Systems. Because all current patches would need to be updated to it, all new
patch releases are currently on hold till its release.
3. SCOA/CM Tim(mah) has started on his "Project Cue Ball" which
aims to hand the EH a cheaper and more powerful Doomsday Device as even the
Death Star... and surface flying for XWA.:)
4. Just as Minos has gone back up again, our mirror has gone
down - hopefully temporarily. Please keep your links directed to the correct
one.
I'll be taking a short break from Project Shield later today to
do some needed updates to the whole site.
5. More updates will include those to the Order of Battle. I'm
currently working on an update that will, when approved, make the Dark
Brotherhood more visible on it, besides more regular updates. (Like the IW
links.)
Science Office Status:
CA: Admiral Darkhill has been working on the EH Patch Manager Program, aka the
"Grand Project", which will make patching life a lot easier for all of us. The
XWA portion is under testing at the moment, XvT under construction. Den is
currently on a short leave to move house.
SCOA: CM Tim is just getting round to starting on Operation Cueball. Continued
development on "The Archive" which is hoping to be like a Archive of
Missions/Battles/Campaigns and OPT's. Watched Matrix Reloaded 3 times :D.
Site: The Science Office site can be found at
http://sco.minos.net or via the redirect
http://scienceoffice.isCool.net .
The mirror at
http://www.gimmie.tudelft.nl/homes/blok10b/ender/sco is currently down.
Updates to be done over the rest of the day: update Staff Page,
update OoB links, add newest reports etc.
Science Office Projects:
XvT/BoP/TIE95 Ship patches: This project's goal is to add all the original and
Order of Battle craft that are still "missing" from these games, like the SSD in
TIE and XvT, the Medium Transport in all etc. This project is
drawing closer and closer to its end for especially TIE and XvT: started on BoP
and made a few more craft to add.
Grand Project: The EH Patch Manager Project is going along smoothly - expect it
to be released by the end of the summer. More data on the project in the news
section.
Project Shield: (TAC Project) at 30%
Finishing up:
I think that's it - If I've forgotten anything or if you have comments,
suggestions or corrections, let me know via email or look us up at #sco. Don't
forget that all the projects are described in more detail on the SCO
site.
(Use only mindb_ender@hotmail.com for official SCO mails.) or ICQ (9706474).
Preferably do not mail large files to me, but DCC them via IRC - I'm practically
always online at #sco, #emperor's_hammer and #tiecorps using the nick MindB_ndr
(or variations.)
All my SCO reports are available online as well: you can reach them on the SCO
site:
http://www.minos.net/~sco/reports/index.html but they are on the TIE Corps
site, CS reports, as well.
Until next time, good luck and have fun!

This late report was brought to you by Star Wars Galaxies, a nice, but sometimes
laggy experience. :P
I've looked into a problem with the forums not processing nicks with the single
quotes in them, and found that it is likely a problem with my PHP install. The
code concerned should work, but for some reason it doesn't. I am in the process
of debugging the PHP setup on my box to try and figure out where the problem
lies.
I am having my server moved to a new IP subnet so that I can gain additional IP
addresses. The additional IP's will be used for eggdrop bots, in particular
Chewie which currently is hosted on a rather unreliable server. This change in
IP's will temporarily mean that people will be unable to access domains on my
box, so I will be posting direct IP's to be used once they are provided to me.
The Log Actions mod for phpBB has been reinstalled on the forums, this will be
of primary interest to the select group of people who have admin level access,
and want to see what the moderators are up to.
IRC Quote of the Week:
<zekkie> Perhaps you can help me with something.
<`MortE> No.. Pull your trousers up.

Security Office Report #9
1. Myrtle Beach was a blast. We were all relieved to see that SOA Slicer had
refrained from raiding the Security Office bar. Also, many incriminating shots
of the Security Office staff were captured. :)
2. Due to the ending of the Beach Blast, Security Officer Zoltar is still
without internet access, although I've been informed it should be restored by
Monday.
3. It's been fairly quiet as usual. It seems the rDB removed a significant
number of "problem members", thus leaving the Security Office at a *much*
welcome disadvantage. I commend our members on being fairly well-behaved. :)
4. As of this week, I've seen a few random rDBers joining EH channels, although
most have set proper bans to prevent their entrance. There was a slight issue
involving the abuse of dasb0t's strict language guidelines earlier, but SOA Vman
and I have our eyes open for any further abuses, which will not be tolerated.
That's all for this week folks. Keep it clean, and stay safe.

Welcome to my report, special collectors' edition. This edition of the LO report
is subtitled "Working 9 days in a row sucks".
Not alot this week since I've had to work every single day for almost 2 weeks
due to people at my job quitting, going on vacation, or just getting sick. The
only real news is that my CA got his competition approved and it's in full
swing. He should have posted the details on it by now, but if not here goes.
The competition is to design a splash image for the EH Memorium site. Something
that will honor our fallen comrades in a tasteful way. Submissions should be
sent to myself and my CA. The winner of the comp will be able to get the coveted
Iron Star with Platinum Ribbon due to an agreement worked up with the TO's
office to have Keldorn "sponsor" this competition. The deadline isn't really set
in stone, but don't take a year to submit :P
The Mr/Ms EH contest is still in the preliminary stages, still looking for
nominations for the titles. Send nominations to me ASAP. I hope to get the

Comic-Con 2003 Wrap-up
While much of the Star Wars action took place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday
remained days where Star Wars fans had a great time together and made a big
impact at Comic-Con.
So great was fan presence, that when Dominic Monaghan (Lord of
the Rings' Merry Brandybuck) greeted the crowd at New Line's Saturday
presentation, he asked, "How's everyone enjoying the Star Wars convention?"
On Saturday, Star Wars fan, filmmaker Kevin Smith stopped by the starwars.com
booth before his afternoon panel to talk Star Wars and claim a Hyperspace
t-shirt.
Sunday, officially "family day" at Comic-Con, was filled with younglings
learning about the upcoming Clone Wars cartoon, checking out the latest
LucasArts games and Hasbro action figures.

First Windu Saber Replicas
Representatives from Master Replicas stopped by the starwars.com Comic-Con booth
with an exciting treat... some of their very first production samples of the
Mace Windu lightsaber prop replicas for us to take a look at.
The Samuel L. Jackson-signed signature edition, featuring genuine 24 karat gold
plated accents, is one of the most stunning Star Wars collectibles recently
released, thanks to its authentic recreation of the elaborate design created by
the Episode III props department for the one-of-a-kind Jedi.
Unfortunately, the signature edition is already sold out, but the limited
edition saber we saw was also very impressive with machined brass and die-cast
metal faithful to the on-set prop.
The limited edition is also going quickly, so head over the Master Replicas (
http://www.masterreplicas.com/ )
site now for full information.
Action Fleet Heads To Dry Dock
Reported by Rebelscum.com
After having returned from a two-year hiatus, Hasbro's Action Fleet line has
once again been put on hold. Failing to meet minimum quantity requirements from
major retailers, Hasbro was left with no choice than to bring the line to a
screeching halt. As a result several of the vehicles previously announced for
later this year will in fact not be released, and those holding pre-orders for
upcoming waves should expect cancellation notices soon. We�re awaiting
confirmation from Hasbro on the final wave of Action Fleet vehicles for this
year, but it was suggested in San Diego that may well be the recently shipped
Republic Gunship wave. The good news is; tentative plans are in place to bring
the line back in 2005 with renewed interest surrounding the release of Episode
III. At that time, it was suggested, Hasbro is looking very hard at the
possibility of adding mini-figures back into the line (something Action Fleet
fans have been begging for since the line made its comeback last year). As we
are still quite a ways away from 2005 and Episode III, many plans can change but
it was clear in talking with Hasbro representatives at Comic Con that there is a
desire to continue bringing these toys to the fans and collectors that want
them. We�ll continue to follow the Action Fleet situation and bring you updates
as new information develops.
Dark Lord of the... SIP ?
Hey, check that out.

First Look: Escape from Dagu
William Dietz, author of the Dark Forces novellas, returns to Star Wars with
Escape from Dagu. In the paperback novel, due out March 2004 from Del Rey Books,
the Jedi Shaak Ti attempts to liberate Republic prisoners of war caught behind
Separatist lines.
The shroud of the dark side has fallen and the Clone Wars have
begun. Thousands of solar systems are defecting to the Separatists' Confederacy
of Independent Systems, led by the charismatic fallen Jedi Master Count Dooku.
But the threat to the Galactic Republic does not end there, for the malevolent
Count answers to a shadowy Sith Lord - one who harbors his own sinister agenda.
The swamp planet Dagu, a remote place where the Confederacy has chosen to build
a military base using prisoners of war, seethes with discontent. The slave
laborers, including clone troopers, are determined to escape -- and the native
reptilian Rybets have sworn to regain their freedom.
Count Dooku has learned that among the prisoners is a courier with information
that could bring down the Republic. Dooku has selected Artel Darc,a most cunning
and capable Dark Jedi, to apprehend the courier. But Artel Darc doesn't know
that Shaak Ti, the legendary Jedi Master, is among the prisoners. Nor can he
fathom how awesome a weapon the desire for liberty can be -- even against
seemingly impossible odds.
Here's the first glimpse of the Escape from Dagu cover by Dave Seeley, whose
work can also be seen on the covers of Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Enemy
Lines II: Rebel Stand and Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Rebel Dream.

INFILTRATOR WING FLIGHT OFFICER REPORT
Acting Commander of the Infiltrator wing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flight officer Address
Good evening members of the infiltrator wing. The Infiltrator wing commander is
on leave, and he has left me to run the day to day running of the fleet. I am
sure you all wish him a nice holiday.
This week has seen many changes to the fleet, The commodore of the Warspite
Brevet admiral Dolza decided to Resign from all EH Positions.
For his fine work on the warpsite in the last 5 months, I am
awarding him the Distinguished service medal. His contribution has been a good
one.
Of course. The big chair must be filled and I believe we found the right man for
the job.
Brevet admiral Wes Janson, Agreed to take the post and provide the excellent
leadership the Warspite requires. My sincere congratulations go to him.
The infiltrator wing is looking good, And activity continues to rise, Despite
the fact the IW Site is down are membership continues to grow. Thanks to the
temp Join form provided by LA Xavier
Good Job everyone. Keep up the great work

INFILTRATOR WING INFILTRATOR WING MELEE DIRECTOR
As most of you are aware, from my previous reports, I am looking for a new IWMD..
What is involved in this task I hear you ask. Well I shall explain then
The IWMD is responsible for keeping track of the IWMP upgrades and awards here
in the infiltrator wing, He or She is also responsible for all multi player
activity and competitions. And shall work with me mostly and the other command
staff. in providing great MP experience for all of the infiltrator wing members.
The current melee, Has been down on activity from the great times of 6 months
ago. I believe last month, There was only 30 MP Games played in the whole month.
Compared to 6 months ago, When we had well over 200. Give our
size, We have more MP Activity per member than the ASF in the tie corps. and i
for one am proud of that fact. I am looking for someone with fresh idea's and a
new approach to how the infiltrator wing handles its MP Activity.
So...
Your idea's and plans on a post card and send them to me at

I currently have 3 applications and there all excellent, but I will not choose
someone until the 30 of July. And they will start their new career as IWMD on
the first of august.
Get writing. Your idea's can make a difference.

Prex Report #39 is going to be less of a report and more of an explanation of
what the future plans for the Corporate Division are and how we're going to
achieve them.
Over the recent months, its become apparent that the already set duties for the
Corporate Division are becoming less and less meaningful around the Fleet. With
this in mind, ideas are being thrown together regarding making the Division into
a SubGroup that can not only provide resources of interest and value to the
Fleet, but provide an environment which is entertaining and worthwhile to the
Divisions members.
New structures to the corporations are going to be added soon, this means that
Engineers will be able to move about amongst their corporation and work with
various different Detachment Commander and other Engineers. This means
Detachments are now going to become a lot more important, meaning more command
positions are being created (Detachment Commanders) giving out members more
opportunity of promotion and development of leadership skills.
Another aspect if the re-creation of the Auroran Gambling Commission (AGC). We
have a functioning credit system, but at the moment we only have the Corporate
Division Stock Exchange (CDEX) to spend the credits on. AGC will provide games
and other resources which members of the iBank can spend their credits on and
either win or lose� using their skills in certain games and generally relying on
luck in others.
In addition to AGC, Nova Shipyards has been a project of the Corporate Division
over the past years. Unfortunately, its hit a stop recently� but it's the aim of
the Division to make the Shipyards up and functional, providing another resource
for iBank members to spend their money on. As they gain more and more credits
through wages, activity and gambling� they can extend their personal belongings
and assets. From small 'on person' items to their own personal vessels, Nova
Shipyards will hopefully start an active 'virtual' market.
Within one of our current corporations, the Imperial Broadcasting Corporation
(IBC), plans are to reopen the Corporate Division Newsgroup (CDNG). This means
that a CD paper will be created and members will be able to make advertising
posts, colomns, opinions, news, etc.
These plans all rely on a team of coders. At the moment our primary coder, the
VPP, VA Leeson already has many projects on the go with the IO - coupled with RL
stuff - and is finding it hard to find the time to code the new CDDB. This is
why I'm making this request� will any PHP'ers that are willing, and experienced,
to create the new Corporate Division Database (CDDB) please contract me ASAP�
EHTrow@aol.com. If you just want to assist,
then please contact me as well.

1. SDIR on Leave - Monday 14/07/03 till Friday 01/08/03
Until I return RA Aseret Thunderhawk(exdir@ehintel.org),meaning me(:P),is
completely in charge of Intel - anything usually sent to Mordann comes to me
from Bureau placements to AoT doubts, passing by IntOrg urgencies.
2. ANLY and BOO BUDRs are both open for application.
If you think you have what it takes to be a BUDR (see the manual for details)
email exdir@ehintel.org and bldr@ehintel.org with an application. I intend for
the new BUDRs to be appointed tomorrow just as soon as all details are taken
care of. But if you think you can impress me into changing my options,
here stay the requirements:
Experience at CMDR+ level of leadership within the EH
High activity level
Punctual with command reports
No HCI record
Experience in Intel report
writing/infiltration/interrogation would also be
desirable
3. Academy of Tactics Situation
General test are being marked.We have no idea how many are left to grade but
Raith will get to yours.Marking tests isn't fun at the best of times so please
help him out -
a) Only send in tests once. VA Raith has received your tests.
Sending him another copy of your answers every couple of days is not helpful and
it�s very demoralizing for Raith.
b) Only submit one test. If you're waiting for your General test
to be marked possibly the LEAST constructive thing you can do is to then go
through the AoT and submit as many of the other tests as you can - if a trainee
sends 6-10 tests in while he waits for the General test to be graded the only
effect it will have is that it'll take 6-10 times longer to grade them...
c) If you've submitted the General test then please email
me(exdir@ehintel.org) and I'll assign you to a Bureau, where I assure you there
is plenty of work to be done.
4. Agents Com-link
We have loads of stuff lying around which could be assembled into a reasonable
looking Com-link (Intel�s newsletter) so hopefully a new edition will be
released before the month is out. If you have anything that you feel would make
a nice addition to the Com-link (please feel free to produce new stuff too) send
it to VA Mordann at sdir@ehintel.org and you�ll receive something delightful and
shiny (also known as a medal). It's never too much to remind these things.:)
5.Recruitment
The Intelligence Division is still actively recruiting. If you�d like more
information about the Intelligence Division please go here:
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=6690 or alternatively email me at
exdir@ehintel.org. If anyone already within the Division can think of someone
who they reckon would make a great agent then please recommend them to me and
I�ll get in touch. (Don�t approach them yourself unless you�re a BUDR or above
though).
6.INTORG Recruitment
We have five open spaces left in INTORG. If you are interested in a position
with the IDs elite Bureau email sdir@ehintel.org and Mordann get back to you
with more details of the vacancies when he returns from leave.
7.ExDir Leave
IT couldn't have happened better if we planned it. Just before Mordann returns
from leave, I will be going to from July 29th to August 14th.I have no idea
whatsoever if I'll be in complete LoA or not since I will be taking a summer
course at an university and I should find computers there. The question
now is...will I have time to find? :P
Anyway, from July 29th to 31th when Mordann returns, GN Davi
Anthol will be in control of the Division. I trust he will keep it intact until
Mordann returns.:)

Inquisitor FA Moreco Awarded Imperial Cross
(IC) Medal: 07.17.03
As Recommended By:
High
Inquisitor (HA Royal)
(Please see
Operations Manual
for Medal descriptions)
It's almost been a year (july 30th 2002) since FA Moreco (pin#
2134) took the reigns of Tribune to the HCI and performed admirably within his
role and often replacing me while I was on leave. So it's my privilege to
recommend him for an Imperial Cross.
Fleet Commander's Note:
I remember back when FA Moreco ran the Infiltrator Wing.
He has always been a very reliable and capable EH officer. With his recent
work filling in for HA Royal and handling some high-profile EH HCI cases, FA
Moreco certainly deserves this award !
Congrats !
Keiran Idanian Retires and Awarded Imperial
Cross (IC) Medal: 07.19.03
As Emailed From:
Former
Special Operations Director (HA Keiran Idanian)
Greetings friends, fellow peers, and members of the Emperor's Hammer,
<salute>
The last time I had to write a letter such as this, was when I resigned as
Reconnaissance Officer. And, I must admit, they haven't gotten any easier.
Over the past couple months, I have found that I have been unable to devote a
lot - if any - time to the Emperor's Hammer. Granted, we always say, "real life
comes first", but this club, with it's membership and publicity... it does
require as much of your free time as you feel your position requires of you.
Thus, I have decided it would be best for the club and myself to step down and
enter into retirement.
For four years, I have been a member of the Emperor's Hammer, and there wasn't a
day that went by which I did not enjoy. Even in the Emperor's Hammer's darker
hours (the rDB Movement and the Minos Cluster Conflict), I felt that it brought
out the best in the officers, allowing them to solve the situation and get the
club back on it's path in as little time as possible. So much as changed the
past year, many new rising and promising officers have made their names known.
And, with much regret, I know very little about them. It are those officers who
hold the future of the Emperor's Hammer. Their ideas will help us expand and
grow into our Tenth Year!
The era of Keiran Idanian has come to a close, and with it - I hope - a great
legacy is left. Only in years to come will someone realize what their efforts
proved to this club, and every person makes their own contribution. I have no
regrets for what I have done for the Emperor's Hammer, the time I took for this
club. I loved doing it. Sitting at my computer - as the time ticked away. If I
had the chance to do it all over, I would gladly take it. Because the years I
had with the fleet were some of the fondest of my life.
I would like to thank:
Grand Admiral Ronin for always allowing me to pursue my ideas, and trusting me
with such important jobs so early into my time with the fleet. I came to think
of him as not only a friend but a mentor.
All my friends I've made in the fleet. Each of you hold you're own memory. From
the pilots I served with on the SSD Avenger, to my commanding officers who
always had their "doors open". I think I will miss the people most of all. Feel
free to look me up and chat, if you don't feel like to talking to a retired
officer. :)
Last, but not least, the Command Staff - past and present - for always putting
up with my annoying reminders, as CA:FC. And recently, allowing me to continue
with my ideas when I was Reconnaissance Officer.
I Keiran Idanian, High Admiral of the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet, current
Special Operations Director, former Reconnaissance Officer, ex-CA:FC, Alvaak
Consul predecessor, and many others... :) Hereby enter retirement...
I will always look fondly on my years with the Emperor's Hammer and hold for it,
and it's members a special place in my heart...
In the service of the Empire,
-Gerry Bella, Jr.

Fleet Commander's Note:
I would like to personally extend my gratitude to HA Keiran.
He has single-handedly started up the
Honorary Members
program and had the chutzpah to actually contact most of them and keep bugging
them until they responded. He has done more for exposure of the EH in the
Star Wars community than any other single EH Member, most probably including
myself ! He most certainly deserves this IC medal !
(Please see
Operations Manual
for Medal descriptions)
Keiran should serve as an example to all EH Members of what
one can accomplish if you put in the effort and hard work. The EH is what
YOU make of it !
Keiran, it has been a pleasure to serve with you. Best
of luck in all that you do ! You'll always have a home in the Emperor's
Hammer.

XvT Room in the Game Tables 25-45. Get out there and fly to support the EH!
If you have any questions feel free to ask the COO staff or

Also, for the XWA pilots, the XWA Week of War starts next Friday, so make sure
you are registered on

Thanks for your time sir and this would really help out, because DB or IW pilots
rarely seem to know about the WoWs and the TC pilots aren't much more aware of
it than that. I'd love to see more pilots out there winning and having fun.
BTW - I hope I got the hyperlinks correct :$ If not, could you be so kind as to

Introduction
Hello Emperor's Hammer.
I am back from EH Poland Meeting III and I must say I am happy
and disappointed. I am happy with overall atmosphere and fun we had. But very
disappointed with place owner and people's presence. Thanks to owner we had to
start one week earlier, and thing forced some people to resign from arriving to
as. Also, we had medium weather and we had to return on Sunday (we planned
Monday). Very few people joined us: nIKA (my fiance), me, Jonny, Wiesio,
DrDiablo (most wanted), Keiran Laserlight, Marcin Kaczynski and Ann, his fiance.
Not much, compared to EHPLM 2.
Now, I am back from leave, but busy and with huge backlog of
small things. I have released some battles and missions, but I still need to
update Tactical roster, fire some lazy testers, update TacDB and do other small
duties. I have processed all High Scores so no delays there.
Tactical Officer back from leave
Yes, I am back but busy. Still use email to contact me, cause my
IRC presence is pretty random.
Mission Creation Corner
Special thanks to TCC:XvT for his tips :)
One thing to note when designing mission messages. In order to
ensure your messages come out at the right moment, you should test your new
mission each time you add at least 2 messages. Go over those messages carefully
and make sure all settings are correct. Because you don't want a fighter message
coming out when, say a FRG enters the play arena.
Make sure your messages are coded the right color to match the
purpose. Make sure the condition in which the message appears is set to when its
supposed to show, as well as the proper delay time. When setting the delay time
you can do this by using the up and down arrows. Just remember that it goes in 5
second increments.
Tactical Manual v3.0 - 20% done
My CA, RA Philo has grammar-checked chapter 2. When I will
finish with 3, I will send it to him.

Internet Office Report #100 - SPECIAL EDITION!
July 17, 2003
:: [ Internet Office News ] ::
Hello everyone, welcome to this week's Internet Office Report NUMBER 100!!!!!!!
This report marks the 100th week that I have been the Internet Officer of the
Emperor's Hammer - which calls for some celebration! If you're reading the HTML
version of this, you can see I have a brand new report design for IO Reports -
courtesy of Major Xander Drax!
Let's get some of the weekly news out of the way first. I spent some time this
weekend reviewing all MinosNIC hosting accounts and listed about 120 of the 245
accounts as requiring removal either because they are: Empty, Outdated, or rDB.
Once they are removed, I will post a spreadsheet in case anyone wants to make
use of an account name that has been taken till now. We will be reviewing the
redirects similarly soon.
EHNet and related services (MinosNIC not included) had a bit of troubles on the
technical side (PHP Superglobal arrays weren't functioning correctly) but it
seems as though our faithful & reliable web host, Koral of the BHG, has fixed it
up. Thank you so much, K!
The EH Wargames preliminary database design has been reviewed by the development
team. We now hope to begin the coding of some of the actual PHP classes. Stay
tuned for more info!
Alex Foley has been hard at work on SquadFirst+, and has nearly completed the
new roster functions for the TC side of the application. Of course, it won't be
just TC this time - SF+ will support TC, DB, IW and HF roster structures. We
anticipate it's release in 1-2 weeks - and it will certainly complete the
revolution in EH site standards!
Speaking of site standards, it's come to my attention that some TIE Corps sites
are not adhering to the rules laid out in the Internet Guidelines. I'd just like
to remind you all that ALL squadrons, wings, ships and battlegroups MUST have a
current, up-to-date website. Single-wing ships may use their wing site. All
sites must contain the mandatory pages and links set out in the TC Internet
Guidelines which are available at
http://www.ehnet.org/guidelines.php#tcguides. The IO will begin to conduct
research on compliance. If your site is found to be incompliant, you will be
warned and you will have one (1) week to update the site (if you are on leave,
we may be able to extend that). If by then you do not comply, you face removal
from your position (as per an agreement between myself and the FO). The reason
for such strict attention to compliance is part of an effort to raise the bar in
website standards within the EH and TC. Please note the addition of a new
Internet Guideline that applies to the entire EH! Specifically, you should avoid
hosting your site on Geocities, Tripod, or any other free host that has pop-up
banners. The IO staff will notify people individually of this new guideline with
a leniency period of 2 weeks.
And now, time for a special feature unique to Report #100...a trip down memory
lane in the Internet Office!
First off, I'd like to start with saying that I've had some of the most fun I've
ever had as Internet Officer of the EH and hope to be able to continue to serve
you, the members of the EH, as well as I have striven to till now. I've learned
a lot from the people in the EH, but such things I shall save for another long
special edition report, far, far off in the distant future (i.e. my eventual
resignation :P). I'd like to speak about something else though: I'd like to
speak about my vision of the Internet Office when I first took the position,
what I've accomplished with the help of my team, and where the Internet Office
is headed in the future. Obviously, this is a historical sort of thing (if you
just read reports to know the news in the fleet, you can stop reading now :P)
but I think you might find some of it interesting. Well, that's my own personal
opinion.
I had started out in the IO as most staffies do - a lowly IOA, along with FSEA,
shortly after I had resigned my command as Commodore of the ISD Colossus.
AbsoluteK was kind enough to take me into his (now rather familiar :P) staff. I
later became his Command Attache, serving a total of 9 months under his command.
When AbK resigned in August 2001, I applied and received the position of
Internet Officer. In my application (which can be seen in the EH.org news
archives at
http://www.emperorshammer.org/news/august_2001.htm under August 22), I
started to describe a vision I had of the IO becoming a central hub for EH
operations, a vision that AbK had already begun to materialize during his
tenure. I consider this "vision" to mark the beginning of a new era for the EH,
one of heightened awareness for all EHers of all aspects of our club - not just
being confined to one subgroup. Plus, since the EH is an Internet-based club, I
wanted to enhance all the features and fun available to members.
We'll now look at some of the different things the IO has done to reach this
endeavor. I'd like to that IOA Alex Foley for taking the time to look through
all my previous reports and compiling a list of IO Projects. This document
includes the announce, release and completion dates for 27 IO projects and can
be viewed at
http://www.ehnet.org/ioprojects.doc.
Let's start off with entertainment, which produced some of the more widely-known
IO Projects. The shining star to date though, had to be Project Hawkeye (Reports
8-32) - a mission-based project that accepted 22 "agents" to participate in 10
web-based missions over the course of 3 weeks. While Project Hawkeye 2 was
started and a trailer produced, interest was not strong enough among the
developers to pursue completion. This remains something that the IO hopes yet to
complete. You can see details about Project Hawkeye at
http://hawkeye.ehnet.org and
http://hawkeye.ehnet.org/after/.
Then there was The Holonet Journals (reports 2-22), a collection of humorous
articles, images and other random spewings of the IO staff. My former Command
Attach�, Darkfire, was largely responsible for organizing THJ and did a great
job keeping it humorous. There are links to the two issues that were released in
the "IO Links" section of this report. What happens now, you say? I'm happy to
announce that my IOA, MAJ Xander Drax has volunteered to organize THJ, Issue #3!
We hope Drax will have it published soon!
Sabacc Online, my own personal project, has not only gained tremendous support
from the BHG, but numerous sources outside the EH. A large portion of the Star
Wars community have all taken interest in my PHP rendition of the popular Star
Wars card game. What happens now though? Leeson and I are working on completing
a multiplayer client/server setup for all interested parties!
Alex Foley's EH Holonet Awards also attracted a lot of attention - it was a
competition in which people nominated their favorite sites and voted on the best
ones in different categories, sort of like the Oscars. Winning webmasters
received medals.
And now, we're on the verge of a new frontier in terms of entertainment provided
by the Internet Office. EH Wargames, an online web-based Wargame simulation
stands to be the most revolutionary IO project, moreso than Project Hawkeye, and
possibly equal or surpass GalaxyQuest the numbers in terms of participation.
With a solid coding team, we hope to deliver this fine product with the highest
of quality standards!
Another section is "Internet Awareness" - part of which was manifested by the
IWATS courses written by IO Staff members. Namely, the XML course by Keldorn,
PHP course by former CA Mutilator, JavaScript & Flash courses by Alex Foley.
Related to this have been various things oriented towards webmasters, such as
the EH & TC Internet Guidelines, Coding Archive (reports 43-48), EH Code
Collaboration (report 98), EH Counters Service (reports 54-64).
And of course, the most notable tool for TC/IW webmasters has been SquadFirst
(Reports 71-80) - a Squadron Website Template to facilitate with Internet
Guidelines compliance. This has become widely popular, and is currently at
version 1.3.2. However, Alex Foley is currently working on SquadFirst+, a new
generation of EH site templates, with streamlined code and enhanced
functionality for TC, IW, DB and HF subgroups.
In addition to that, IOA/AD Turtle has constantly supported us with the creation
of a brand new EHNet, EHNet version 3.0 along with the EHNet Login System
(currently at version 1.6). The ELS allows for webmasters to interface with the
closest to an EH-wide login system, based on the account handles at MinosNIC,
another service Turtle provides the EH with that allocates URL redirection, web
hosting & database space and a webring service all for EH members. Turtle is
currently investigating the possibility of an enhanced level of service plus
real domain names for a small monthly fee, which shouldn't be too taxing on
interested EHers.
My EHNet, also a project by Alex Foley, is a service we provide to EHers to
customize their own home page they can set, with various news feed sources from
around the fleet and around the world. My EHNet is located at
http://my.ehnet.org.
We've also remodeled the Emperor's Hammer Domain Site, and now it looks much
cleaner and professional than it previously did. We are currently looking into
the possibility of enhancing the TIE Corps main site in PHP.
All the projects listed by no means are everything - the document by Alex Foley
would contain everything. So where is the Internet Office headed now?
Well, there are several colossal prospective projects. First of all, the
completion of Multiplayer Sabacc Online is now finally a feasibility through
integration of PHP and Flash. EH Wargames stands to revolutionize the
roleplaying aspect of the EH, allowing for greater interaction with players in
teams with a motive to participate. I'd also like to try to finish Project
Hawkeye 2. And finally, I'd like to complete an EH-wide central processing
station which will contain basic roster information for all subgroups, which
will be retrievable by SG sites via XML - very similar to Kawolski's EH Database
concept.
And as this milestone report draws to a close, I'd like to thank the wonderful
members of my Internet Office Staff, past and present, who've struggled with
understanding what my vision of the IO and the EH is, but have come out of
various projects all the more knowledgeable. My Command Attaches: Leeson,
Mutilator and Darkfire. My Internet Office Assistants: Turtle, Alex Foley,
Xander Drax, Drako, Kweeky, AbsoluteK, Keldorn, and many others.
I hope for my tenure as Internet Officer to continue to be as successful as it
has to date.
But for now...IT'S PARTY TIME! DRINKS ARE ON THE INTERNET OFFICE!
:: [ Emperor's Hammer: Site of the Week ] ::
The Site of the Week this week, is appropriately what has been the home of the
Internet Office for many years, and hopefully many more to come: EHNet. Many
thanks go to AbsoluteK for providing us with the domain, Koral for providing us
with a server, Turtle for coding most of the system, and Xander Drax for the
current design. Here's to http://www.ehnet.org,
unquestionably a 5 star site!

Training Office Report #17
Admiral Keldorn Cochrane Reporting � 19th July 2003
http://www.emperorshammer.ca/
<SALUTE>
I had an eventful � if somewhat tiring � leave of absence, and finally managed
to trawl through the incredibly number of e-mails you all sent me. As of this
moment all outstanding IWATS submissions, pending Competitions and Shadow
Academy Apprentices have been processed.
The small Training Office and SubGroup competition �Apostasy� will begin on
Friday 25th July 2003. The work of most SGCOMs has been to a good standard, and
to those that did a sterling job early-on; apologies for the delay in launch.
Vice Admiral Reb Crush, formerly of the Corporate Division, has resigned the
position of Eggdrop (BOT) Professor; my thanks for his short tenure of office.
The position is now open for applications (details below).
Applications for Training Office Assistant (TOA) are still open � but only for a
short period of time before I make final deliberations.
The first of the Training Office�s IRC colloquia (sponsored by the Senate�s
Imperial University) will begin on Sunday 27th July 2003 at 17:00 GMT (Timezone
converter;
http://greenwichmeantime.com/gmt-converter.htm?module=htmlpages&func=display&pid=3
) promptly in #Emperor�s_Hammer (on UnderNet). The first colloquium shall be
solely conducted by myself on the topic of �A Brief Introduction to Shakespeare�
and will most likely take the form of a keynote speech (varying in length) and
then an open-ended conversation between all parties interested in discussing a
relevant topic. Some of you may consider this bland. Those of you whom do are
misguided. Despite the modern connotations of Shakespeare (thanks primarily to
unimpressive teaching methods employed in Secondary Education) he remains
arguably one of the greatest authors of all time with his one of his works being
performed somewhere in the world every 6 minutes.
Colonel Master, Professor of Rebellion Tactics, has informed me that the RT
Course Notes are undergoing an overhaul (HTML and PHP) by Captain Amadeo.
The Training Office is now accepting Course proposals. I am open to many diverse
and innovative ideas, these can range from matters of real-life relevance to
those of Star Wars canon (and indeed, our own non-canon). The Courses under
consideration so far are:
Cascading Style Sheets.
Sound Processing/Editing.
General Multiplayer.
Star Wars Galaxies.
Advanced TIE Mission Design (TM/2).
Advanced TIE Tactics (TT/2).
Networking Basics.
Tactical Staff.
X-Wing Mission Creation.
Training Office Assistant (TOA) Open for Applications
Due to the reluctant removal of Major Taralis from the position of Training
Office Assistant, the position is once again open for applications. The
successful applicant will be duly considered for elevation to the position of
Command Attach� in the future. The requirements are:
An active member of the Emperor�s Hammer.
Holding at least the rank of Commander (or equivalent).
No serious HCI convictions within the last 12 months.
A high-level of online activity (IRC, Fast e-mail turnaround).
Above average talent & experience in creating/managing websites (HTML).
Excellent grasp of the English language.
[Optional - Desired] Knowledge of ASP.
[Optional � Desired] Knowledge of PHP.
Applications should be sent to me (
to@emperorshammer.org ) with the subject �TOA Application�.
Dark Brotherhood ONLY: Sith Apprentice & Sith Doctrine Pontiff Open for
Applications
Due to the resignation of SW Kyle Katarn, the duel position of Pontiff of the
Sith Apprentice and Sith Doctrine Studies is hereby open to applications from
members of the Brotherhood. The requirements are:
An active member of the Dark Brotherhood holding at least the rank of Acolyte (ACO)
in the Sith Order.
A member of the Brotherhood for at least 5 months.

Operations Office Report (CoL Criteria):
07.18.03
As Emailed From:
Operations
Officer (AD Khaine)
Operations Office
A quiet week with recommendations filtering through in an
orderly fashion. No complaints this week. There is one important items of news
though, see below.
Fleet Commander's Birthday Commendation of Loyalty Recommendations
The bi-annual awarding of the Commendation of Loyalty to members of the
Emperor's Hammer who have displayed tremendous dedication to the Fleet is fast
approaching. I have included information for the Command Officers, Advisors and
Subgroup Commanders below.
Tiecorps
Each Squadron Commander can make recommendations to their Wing Commander who
will choose three (3) members of their wing to receive the CoL and forward the
names to their Commodore and Battlegroup Commodore. Each BGCOM may recommend up
to three (3) more awards for their flag officers. The Battlegroup Commander will
collate the awards for their battlegroup and forward the names (with pin
numbers) to the Flight Officer (
fo@emperorshammer.org ) and myself (
ops@emperorshammer.org ).
Additionally, the Commander of each Elite Squadron may recommend one (1) of
their members to receive the Col. This should be sent directly to the Flight
Officer and myself. Therefore the FO and I should only be receiving CoL
recommendations from the Battlegroup Commanders and the Commanders of the Elite
Squadrons.
Dark Brotherhood
Each Clan Consul may make up to three (3) recommendations from their members,
which they will forward to the Chancellor and Grand Master of the Dark
Brotherhood. The Grand Master will also be able to make up to five (5)
additional recommendations for members of the Dark Brotherhood. Once collated,
the Dark Brotherhood recommendations should be submitted to the Operations
Officer ( ops@emperorshammer.org )
by the Grand Master only.
Hammer's Fist, Infiltrator Wing, Corporate Division, Bounty Hunters Guild,
Intelligence Division, Directorate, Fringe and Imperial Senate
Each of the listed subgroups (excepting the Tiecorps and Dark Brotherhood) will
be able to recommend up to ten (10) members to receive the Commendation of
Loyalty. These recommendations are to be collated and sent to the Operations
Officer ( ops@emperorshammer.org )
only by the leader of each respective subgroup.
Emperor's Hammer Command Staff and Advisors
Recommendations from each of the Command Staff and Advisors will be received on
a case-by-case basis. Recommendations should be sent directly to the Operations
Officer ( ops@emperorshammer.org ).
Submission Date
All recommendations must be submitted to myself (and the Flight Officer where
required) by the 19th of August. Late submissions will be rejected. If there are
any questions, please ask and don't leave it until the last minute.

Apologies for the lateness of this report, I got a new laptop (Dell Inspiron
8500 P-IV 2.5GHz) last friday, and I've been playing with its most substantial
features since :P. Hopefully, I'll get into playing SWG some time this week.
I upgraded the bad channels script this weekend on all COMM bots (dasb0t,
silentone & chewie). The bad channels script monitors users in EH channels to
see if they are in Warez/Sex channels.
Dasb0t's homepage at
http://dasb0t.emperorshammer.ca has been updated with the latest list of
active channels monitored by dasb0t, chewie, and silentone.

It has been brought to my attention that the forums are not properly handling
nicknames that have single quotes in them. To get around this problem, simply
add an extra single quote wherever a single quote is in
your nick. For example, for "Ab'k", enter "Ab''k" to get into the forums
properly. I expect to have the forums patched this week.

Science Office
"In quiet seas, every ship has a good captain."
<salute>
Welcome to my nineteenth public report as a Science Officer, late again...
(Providers are creatures of the darkness ;) ) ...but let's get to the news:
Science Office News:
1. I'm fully back - well, I should be... My connection is permanent again (yay)
and it should cover a few more things: This week there should be a second mirror
of sorts up for the SCO site - and I've got a new email that can take more data.
More on that next week :)
2. Because they both decided to get a life (*cough* outside the
EH I mean) both our SCOA's, LC Samuel Shadd and LT Kweeky, have resigned all
their positions in the Emperor's Hammer. We wish you all the best in the harsh
world of real life and remember that you'll always have a place here to come
back to. Thank you for your help :)
3. Not to remain SCOA-less I have promoted our former IGOR
(testing subject) CM Tim to SCOA. CM Tim is known to us and slicing and has
completed the OPTing course - I'm sure he'll do fine. Welcome to the team!
4. Minos.net is back up fully - which also means the main SCO
site is back up at http://sco.minos.net - and
that includes the OoB, fleet manual and more. The mirror at
http://www.gimmie.tudelft.nl/homes/blok10b/ender/sco is still working and
has all the files and patches as well. As a reminder: in case minos is down
again, use the mirror.
5. AD Darkhill has been working more on his fabulous new patch
manager. This program will install and place patches for TIE/XvT/BoP/XWA in all
operating systems (also XP) without particular unzipping, .bat files that need
the XPinstaller in XP and 2K and all that. It will also make it a lot easier for
us to make new patches, especially for XWA. The XWA part is functioning and
under testing at the moment and looking good.
6. Because this means we'll have to update all existing patches
and such - we will not be releasing any new patches till this project is done,
to prevent having to do everything double shortly after each other. New patches
will remain in development however - the moment the patch manager is released
we'll immediately have a whole bunch of new ships (especially for XWA). :)
7. Sadly I have to say that our "Star Wars: Imperium" project
has been closed prematurely. The next version of Star Shatter will be so
drastically different that we'd have to redo everything done already by LC Shadd
- who also quit. We have strong indications that the drastic changes of Star
Shatter policy is due to whining EH members who bugged the creators, so again:
DO NOT contact outside people/companies/groups as a representative of the EH if
you're not.
8. Former VA Stalker and his group have started on a new mod,
after finishing their ST: Armada II one, to convert Star Lancer to Star Wars.
Seen their earlier successes the Science Office will be supporting this project
as far as we can. Star Lancer looks pretty good after all and might be a good
"new platform" option.
Science Office Status:
CA: Admiral Darkhill has been working on the EH Patch Manager Program, aka the
"Grand Project", which will make patching life a lot easier for all of us. The
XWA portion is under testing at the moment, XvT under construction.
SCOA: LC Shadd and LT Kweeky have resigned their positions. No applications are
being accepted at this moment.
SCOA: CM Tim (aka TIMMAHHH) has accepted the position of SCOA and was
immediately able to inform us that the XWA Update Project has finally released
their ISD and VSD patches.
Site: The Science Office site can be found at
http://sco.minos.net or via the redirect
http://scienceoffice.isCool.net.
Please use the mirror at
http://www.gimmie.tudelft.nl/homes/blok10b/ender/sco when the main site is
down.
Science Office Projects:
Star Wars - Imperium: This project has been cancelled because of LC Shadd
resigning and the creators of Star Shatter becoming more difficult.
XvT/BoP/TIE95 Ship patches: This project's goal is to add all the original and
Order of Battle craft that are still "missing" from these games, like the SSD in
TIE and XvT, the Medium Transport in all etc. This project is
drawing closer and closer to its end for especially TIE and XvT: started on BoP
and made a few more craft to add.
Grand Project: The EH Patch Manager Project is going along smoothly - expect it
to be released by the end of the summer. More data on the project in the news
section.
Finishing up:
I think that's it - If I've forgotten anything or if you have comments,
suggestions or corrections, let me know via email or look us up at #sco. Don't
forget that all the projects are described in more detail on the SCO
site.
(Use only mindb_ender@hotmail.com for official SCO mails.) or ICQ (9706474).
Preferably do not mail large files to me, but DCC them via IRC - I'm practically
always online at #sco, #emperor's_hammer and #tiecorps using the nick MindB_ndr
(or variations.)
All my SCO reports are available online as well: you can reach them on the SCO
site:
http://www.minos.net/~sco/reports/index.html but they are on the TIE Corps
site, CS reports, as well.
Until next time, good luck and have fun!

Well, here we go again another edition of the LO report. Step in out of the rain
and take off your shoes...hey! Mind the carpet fools! My wife'll have your head
if you track up the clean floors!!!
Not a whole lot to report this week, it's been a bit slow lately. It's not that
we're not working, it's just that research is a laborious and time consuming
process and the results can't really be displayed until a project has reached
completion. Work is still ongoing trying to find out any information we can
about EH officers who've passed on, so far we've been able to come up with a
very short list and are still seeking information as to what happened, when,
where, etc.
My CA hasn't gotten back to me this week on the status of his competition, as a
matter of fact we've not spoken at all this week...but, I forgive him for this.
He's had some RL issues of late with an illness in his family, so his Memorium
site banner competition might just have to hold for a bit until he can focus on
the EH fully. Best of luck to him and his family in this time of need, may the
Force be with you, Daniel.
I promised last week to have the Codex fully updated this week and I'm pleased
to say I've reached ~90% completion. All that's left to finish up is the
Admiralty list and a missing rank graphic that should be on that page. I'll have
it completed in the next 24 hours, BOOYA!
I've had not a soul interested in being my LOA, makes a guy feel a little
unloved :( Anyways, still taking apps if anyone is interested, if not I'll just
let it sit vacant for the time being. Also, on a totally unrelated note I've
decided it's time to honor the old (and in my opinion quite silly) tradition of
voting for the titles of Mr/Ms EH. In the past this competition has been held by
previous LOs on a whim, with no real set time...just whenever they felt like it.
I intend to start a new tradition with the "pagent" and run it in correlation to
the celebration of the FC's birthday which falls on August 21st.
This year instead of just randomly picking candidates based on whatever reasons,
I'm going to let the EH nominate the candidates then I'll run a poll on the LO
site to allow you to vote for your picks for Mr/Ms EH. Anyone who wants to
submit a candidate my do so by email me at
lo@emperorshammer.org
Well, that's about it for this week...Darknyte out!

Greetings,
There are a few new items for the Recon Office this week. First of I regretfully
that our ROA, MAJ Loor, has stepped down as the Recon Office's Webmaster.
Fortunately, my CA, RA Shay`la has decided to step up and take the
responsibility of the website. She will be contacting MAJ Loor tonight or
tomorrow for all the passwords and codes for the site but she needs some help so
I am opening up a ROA position solely for the purpose to help maintaining the
website.
The letters I have been working on for the past two weeks are finally done,
along with the interviews. I will be submitting the questions to Ronin and
Astatine for approval and then they will be ready to be sent out by the
beginning of next week.
That's on for the Recon office. On with the Star Wars news.

SW Trilogy in 30 Minutes at Comic-Com Report
Following the Fan Films awards last evening at Comic-Con, the audience was
treated to a presentation of Star Wars Trilogy in 30 Minutes. And what a delight
it was for the fans in attendance...
Thirty minutes Of Fame: SWT30 Widescreen Edition
Everyone knows that the Classic Trilogy makes up just slightly over six hours of
the most incredibly entertaining hours in cinematic history, but it is only in
experiencing the half-hour live-on-stage farce inspired by George Lucas' opus
that one can truly see how enduring the tome truly is.
The Californian comedy troop that makes up the cast of Star Wars Trilogy In
Thirty Minutes have flawlessly crafted a play with not only the sharpest wit,
but the most amazing comedic timing one could hope for in a live performance.
Much to the delight of the audience in attendance of last night's Fan Film
Awards at the San Diego Comic Convention were treated to a special presentation
of SWT30 aptly titled Star Wars Trilogy In Thirty Minutes: Widescreen Edition.
Just coming off of a month-long stint on a cramped stage in Los Angeles, the
cast took every opportunity this new, much larger venue offered. When all was
said and done, the actors were simply drenched in their own sweat, much to the
joy of the estimated 700+ crowd. Their performances were dead on; their
expressions were exactly that of the characters they represented in the films.
From the first minute to the thirtieth, the rate of tomfoolery could not be
measured by any conventional meter, as was repeatedly proven by the laughs and
cheers heard. And even with the salvo of jokes intended strictly for Star Wars
aficionados, it was the interpretations of classic scenes such as the Luke/Vader
dogfight from A New Hope and the Taun Taun scene from The Empire Strikes Back
that stole the show.
Though not confirmed by anyone associated with the production, the rumor running
around the convention all day was that this was to be the final performance of
SWT30. Whether or not this ends up being true, there was little doubt that the
rumor in and of itself added to the overall atmosphere. If it does end up that
this was the last performance, the audience would agree that they went out with
a bang. Though in this writer's opinion, the entire Star Wars Generation would
be at a loss if the rumor is factual.
Comic-Con Star Wars Fan Film Awards Report
What do you get when you put a line with no fewer than four Jedi, two Boba Fetts,
and more guys in Imperial outfits than you can shake a stick at in front of
roughly 700 seated Star Wars fans? The answer, of course, is the beginning of a
wonderful evening of living Star Wars.
Hosted by fan favorite (and team Rebelscum's favorite as well)
Jeremy Bulloch, and featuring quite a few of the more recognizable faces in the
Star Wars community including Daniel Logan, Kenny Baker, Steve Sansweet, and the
maker of the brilliant short film Troops (not to mention some of the best Star
Wars comics ever published) Kevin Rubio; the 2003 Fan Film Awards was a raging
success.
Out of the 70 films submitted to this year's competition, judges arduously
viewed over a thousand minutes of finely filmed and edited motion pictures
before being able to break it down to nineteen finalists. Of course, only seven
filmmakers could go home with a Golden Droids statue, and we are delighted that
two of the films, The Jedi Hunter and Pink Five, were TFN Fanfilms. Even though
we were told all 70 shorts were quite good, it is nearly impossible to disagree
that the winners were the best of the bunch:
Spirit Award: Silent But Deadly 2
Best Commercial Parody Award: Darkside.com/switch
Best Animation Award: Trooper Clerks
Pioneer Film Award: Hardware Wars
Audience Choice Award: The Jedi Hunter
Skywalker sound Award: Carbonite
George Lucas Selects Award: Pink Five

"Weathered" Obi-Wan Saber Review
as reported on Rebelscum.com by Philip
Since this is the first �weathered� version of any saber Master Replicas has
released, I was happy to take them up on an offer to review it.
This Obi-Wan saber from A New Hope, was offered two ways, �weathered�, which is
movie realistic and limited to 3,000, and a special edition called �As First
Built By Obi-Wan� which was limited to just 500. Obviously, there�s no Signature
Edition of this saber.
First off, this saber arrives as most others, in a sturdy shipping box, with a
black fitted presentation box, display case, certificate of authenticity,
numbered silver-toned metal plaque and plaque stand. This saber sells from
Master Replicas for $349 plus shipping and handling.
One of the things fans know about the Star Wars universe is, for the most part,
it has a very well worn and lived in look. This is certainly true, as it relates
to the rebels.
Upon slipping this saber from its protective wrap, it was instantly clear I
wouldn�t need to worry about getting fingerprints on this replica. I�m not sure
�weathered� properly describes the finish. It�s more like, �beat up, banged up,
burned, dented, scraped, dropped, and thrown, many times a year for decades.�
Though each saber is assembled by hand, it seems odd to be able to somehow mass
produce something so old looking, but Master Replicas has pulled it off. No
thinned down water based paint sprayed on here, the weathering appears to be
permanent. Holding it in my hand, and even in the larger than life photos, it is
clear this piece truly represents the best of the �lived-in� world of Star Wars.
My collection of prop replicas includes everything Master Replicas has made, but
this is the one I�ll get out for visitors to test the feel and weight of from
now on.

Legacy Of The Jedi Now In Stores
The new book Legacy Of The Jedi has officially hit stores a little early. A
Clone Wars novel, it features adventures with Padawan Dooku, Dooku and Padawan
Qui-Gon, Qui-Gon and Padawan Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan and Padawan Anakin. It's
essentially four stories in one. It's pretty cool and well worth picking up.
We'll have our review of it up shortly along with a review of Reunion.
IGT To Develop Star Wars Gaming Machine
Press Release (from PR Newswire):
RENO, Nev., July 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IGT, a subsidiary of International
Game Technology, today announced a contract with Lucasfilm Ltd. that will allow
IGT to create a gaming machine based on the Star Wars movie series.
"The development of the Star Wars video slot will be a significant gaming
event," said Joe Kaminkow, IGT's vice president of game design. "Those who stood
in line in 1977 to see the first Star Wars movie are now about 50 years old.
Exactly the demographic of core slot players.
"Our first game will be themed around Star Wars: A New Hope," Kaminkow added.
"I'm happy to be working with Lucasfilm again. My relationship with Star Wars
products began over a decade ago."
The Star Wars gaming machine will be developed as a MegaJackpots(TM) progressive
system game on IGT's AVP(TM) (Advanced Video Platform). "AVP is the next
generation of slot machines, with enough computing power to produce vibrant
3D-like video and theater-style audio which should be a perfect match for this
material," said John Sears, vice president of MegaJackpots(TM) for IGT.
IGT's Star Wars machine will be previewed at the Global Gaming Expo, scheduled
for Sept. 16-18 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It has not been determined
when the new machine will be available in casinos.
Thanks to Don for the alert.
Future NJO-Type Story Arcs?
Here's an interesting bit from Sue Rostoni on the TOS boards, in regard to the
possibility of another extended story arc a la the NJO:
Has what you and the other book-publishing-peoples learned by working on the
huge, somewhat experimental, multi-author, close-to-20-book, series, that is the
NJO, helped at all in planning and executing other realms of Star Wars
literature i.e. the Clone Wars line? If so, how?
Shelly and I have talked about this. If we did something like this again in the
future, we'd not do a 5-year story arc. Maybe 2 or 3 years. We'd employ fewer
authors, maybe four. We'd have them all get together at the beginning and be a
part of the planning process and we'd have each book's events and plot more
carefully detailed before the first book's writing began. Those are the main
things we've discussed. What I noticed most about the NJO is that it burned out
the editors. As far as the Clone Wars books, these are really not like the NJO
in that, while it tells one large grand story, the books aren't so closely tied
together. The books, comics, etc, are stand-alones. Many feature different
characters in their roles during the war. From an editorial standpoint, it's
somewhat easier in continuity checking, and somewhat more difficult too, since
we have to consider the comic storylines, the games, the young adult books, the
Cartoon Network short, etc. Not only with the stories themselves, but the
timeline too.
Sounds like a plan... More of this can be read at

Greetings all...
Ok what's going on in the DB you ask?
Well here goes:
DJM Shadonyx has left the position of Chancellor and has been replaced by his
Praetor Reb Crush.
DA Kaden Knightwolf has removed himself as Herald and will be replaced by
Kethoron who is the same gentleman who did the new medal images everyone has
loves so much. He's already got some preliminary robe designs to be and I must
say they look pretty good. Keth is on a family enforced leave at the moment but
promised me he would be in touch as often as he could and take over HRLD full
time as soon as he gets back.
Gryffon, who some of you remember was appointed Magister in a rather
controversial manner... well he's resigned as well, guess I actually wanted him
to work.
Don't bother applying for Magister, I think we'll just write it off as a failed
experiment and I'll do the Roleplay system myself along with the input of
several willing DB members who have already come forward. I already have the
basic layout for a more comprehensive force power allocation that will allow for
more flexibility in creating your character. Now I'm working on skills such as
Martial arts and diplomacy. there is a message board thread on this subject if
you wish to contribute at
http://www.theholo.net/mb/viewtopic.php?t=7811
If you are participating in Star Wars Gamers Crack... which some people call SWG
and you're interested in participating in the EHPA you need to contact Darknyte
and on those rare occasions that he pulls himself out of the game I'm sure he'll
contact you. As for me, I prefer to wander on my own so if you have to be on the
Naritus server and run across Baran Starfury... well that's me.
Talk to you all soon

Greetings from the office of the Infiltrator Wing Commander!
The Infiltrator Wing main domain site at
www.infiltrator-wing.com is still
suffering downtime (fourth week in a row now), due to server problems of our
current webspace provider company. Apparently they have some database issues and
are working on fixing it.
The Infiltrator Wing Systems Engineer will keep you all posted and inform the IW
of any changes.
P.S. I am growing increasingly annoyed with the webspace providers and am
assembling a team of volunteers to assault their headquarters and execute
several of their key personnel. :(
IWCOM under extreme stress
As much as I hate to admit it, I am terribly overworked. I have end of year
exams coming up, and some of those are over 1500 pages thick (i.e. Internal
Medicine). During the next two months I will be spending most of my time
studying.
This does not mean that I will not be around. I will answer email AT LEAST 4
times a day, as brief pauses I take from studying are spent at the comp. I will
however not be able to make much more effort than lead day to day IWCOM ops.
So, now you know - I am not dead :) neither will I be (hopefully) anytime soon.
During the time of my decreased activity, my Number One, the IW Flight Officer,
Vice Admiral Darkmage will be handling most of the day-to-day decisions. He
speaks with my authority, and I expect everyone to treat him as such.
IW Newsletter Out!

Activity is excellent throughout the Infiltrator Wing forces, and this is thanks
to the excellent teamwork of the command personnel. Good work people, keep it

IW Manual rewamp
As some of you already know, I am reworking the Infiltrator Wing pilot manual
and rewriting it to be the best manual ever made.
It shall have all the updated info that the current one already has as well as
all the info about the Infiltrator Wing you will ever need. It will be based on
the manual style of the 1999. IW Manual written by the IWCOM, War Marshal Von
Reinthaler.
I am now approximately 20% through the manual and it has 30 pages.

Commissar Glorick resigned as Chief Executive Officer of Cosmic Holonet
Corporation, and from the future position of CEO of Auroran Technology
Enterprises this week. I'd like to thank im for his service to the Division
through the years. So, i've now opened the position to applications...
Criteria for the position of Auroran Technology Enterprises CEO
- Must hold the rank of Technician above.
- Must have been a member of the Corporate Division for more four (4) months.
- Must have completed the CMD[STD] Course.
Applications to AD Nav'ric Trow (
EHTrow@aol.com
).
The new version of the CDMAN has been completed and is being sent to the Fleet
Commander and Executive Officer for approval. So, within the next few days, you
should be able to look over the new manual and get use to the new system.
In the meantime, i've decided to temporarily-close the position of Vice
President of the Corporate Division. I'm going to take over the position until
such a time that a member of the Division is ready to take over the position and
become my second-in-command.
Anyway, the rebuild of the Division is going smoothly. Mainly just waiting on
the completion of the new database by VA Leeson. Everyone, try to be patient and
keep talking to each other. Chief Executive Officers, you need to be more active
than ever!

The KAG will be taking up a significant part of our attention over the next few
weeks, and frequent updates will be on the message boards and at
http://ka.thebhg.org.
Moving on to the Chiefs, one thing we're trying to do is keep Chiefs more
informed--not about BHG news, cause they're up on that--but how other Chiefs are
running their Kabals. This isn't going to harm the competitive spirit of the BHG,
because Chiefs can obviously still be individuals, but it will let them find out
what does and does not work for motivating members. Obviously, the more active
all the Kabals are, the better they all will be.
Indications are that they are certainly communicating better since the active
effort from the Commission started.
Finally, I have some academic travel to do over the next month which will leave
me with little or no e-mail access for a large portion of it. More on this can
be found on the MB. I will be in touch as much as possible; Koral will be
officially in charge, however.

1. SDIR Leave - Monday 14/07/03 till Friday 01/08/03
You probably had noticed his absence already. That's right; our
beloved SDIR is taking a deserved vacation
from us and won't be back before a week and a half so you're stuck with me until
then. :P All affairs usually going to him should come to me instead (
exdir@ehintel.org ). This goes from
urgent subjects to any simple question you may have to ask and also includes AoT
related affairs (see below for details).
2. Appointments
Last week,we had a good number of appointments. Just in case
anyone missed them:
New BLDR filling in for me is GN Davi Anthol.
New Prae CMDR is COL Andrezj Mezynski.
New Prae XO is MAJ Dolsar Saris as appointed by the new CMDR.
3. ANLY and BOO BUDRs are both open for application.
If you think you have what it takes to be a BUDR (see the manual
for details) email exdir@ehintel.org and
bldr@ehintel.org with an application. I
intend to appoint them during the course of next week so you still have some
days left to apply. Don't come complaining afterwards.
Requirements:
- Experience at CMDR+ level of leadership within the EH
- High activity level
- Punctual with command reports
- No HCI record
- Experience in Intel report
- writing/infiltration/interrogation would also be desirable
4. Plexus Bureau Closure
VA Mordann has decided to close down Plexus for the time being.
There are simply not enough agents in the Bureau to make its operation
worthwhile. Those agents who used to be in Plexus (all 2 of you) should email
me(or Mordann if you can wait two weeks) in order to sort out their new home.
5. Academy of Tactics Situation
Notifications of general test marks have been received; however
there is still a backlog of tests at the AoT. I believe Raith�s last guess was
that there are around a 100 different submissions still to mark (should be less
now). Marking tests isn�t fun at the best of times so please help him out -
a) Only send in tests once. VA Raith has received your tests.
Sending him another copy of your answers every couple of days is not helpful and
it�s very demoralizing for Raith.
b) Only submit one test. If you're waiting for your General test
to be marked possibly the LEAST constructive thing you can do is to then go
through the AoT and submit as many of the other tests as you can - if a trainee
sends 6-10 tests in while he waits for the General test to be graded the only
effect it will have is that it'll take 6-10 times longer to grade them...
c) If you've submitted the General test then please email me -
exdir@ehintel.org - and I'll assign you
to a Bureau, where you'll see there is plenty of work to be done.
6. Agents Com-link
We have loads of stuff lying around which could be assembled
into a reasonable looking Com-link (Intel�s newsletter) so hopefully a new
edition will be released before the month is out. If you have anything that you
feel would make a nice addition to the Com-link (please feel free to produce new
stuff too) send it to Mordann at
sdir@ehintel.org and you�ll receive something delightful and shiny (also
known as a medal).
7. Recruitment
The Intelligence Division is still actively recruiting. If you�d
like more information about the Intelligence Division please go here:
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=6690 or alternatively email the SDIR
at sdir@ehintel.org or myself at
exdir@ehintel.org. If anyone already
within the Division can think of someone who they reckon would make a great
agent then please recommend them to Mordann and he�ll get in touch once he gets
back. (Don�t approach them yourself unless you�re a BUDR or above though).
8. INTORG Recruitment
There are five open spaces left in INTORG. If you are interested
in a position with the IDs elite Bureau email
sdir@ehintel.org and Mordann will get back to you with more details of the
vacancies when he returns from leave.

Report of July18, 2003
Report #12
Sirs:
Nothing much to report. The Fringe has been invited to help with the IOs Wargame
project, which looks to be really good. Our Galaxies group seems to be doing
well from what I hear (and my cash situation is looking better, so a
Galaxies-capable machine might be a possibility soon). Check out the Chilastra
Player Store Directory at
http://cspd.minos.net
. Still no interested RPG players (although there are still at least two people
willing to run games), and Madon is still away, so no MUD news.

Chancellor of
the Senate (Kallath)
Imperial Senate
� News �
Yay, this is my 30th week as Chancellor. I'll be trying to keep reports to a
minimal length, although they're just as frequently short as they are very long.
First off, we've encountered a problem with the planetary profiles. Minister
Goersase and I were inputting new issues when we found out that Minister Dessrx
didn't give us the total capacity of the planetary profile. 5 Planetary Issues
appear in Carrida II's profile, but you encounter and error once clicking them.
Speaking of errors, those issues are readily being edited and improved upon by
myself as apart of Siterath's training as M:STA. Unfortunately he seems to have
an aversion towards communication, and I've been unable to send him these
revisions. Consider yourselves lucky that you didn't apply for the position. :)
We should have 5 issues lined up for each of the 10 planets by the time the
database is up. Prior to inputting them, I'll be submitting a few to GA Ronin
and SA Astatine for approval in case they find anything they don't like.
Actually, that might be as soon as next week, as I'd like to have a format for
future issues rather than rewriting all of them if they see a problem. Well, I
suppose that's all for this week.

Lord Ambassador Report #6: 07.19.03

<SALUTE>
Well, guys. 1 1/2 months in office. I think they said it was two months before
IM eligible for Vice Admiral. We will just keep are finger's crossed hehe.
Anyway, once again sorry for the late report. It had totally slipped my mind up
till I got done with lunch today. So forgive your forgetful LA :-P Anyway. On to
the report.
This week I have been uber busy with the Parallax War. Getting last minuet
entry's. Guy's if you hear your commander's talking about an interclub comp,
please inform me. Because I always get the info at the last minute on these
things. So try and help me there. This week I found a club called "The Rebel
Alliance". TRA for short. I spoke with the soon to be Fleet Commander. I think
they might be interested in an alliance. This would be a great thing. Having a
rebel rival and all means a lot of comps. I also spoke with the Imperial Order.
They arnt interested in an alliance. However they would like to keep a friendly
status with us, and perhaps some future comps.
I having really been working my butt off this week with Parallax war and looking
into future comps and alliances. I'll keep everyone up to date on the TRA
alliance as it progresses. IM going to contact them today. So for you pilot
types in the AG, be happy! Now, I haven't gotten club report from anyone this
week. Guys, don't go back to being inactive! I don't like yelling at people, but
if I have to I will. I know some of you have lost your club info. So Im going to
get together with Magister Nightmare. We are going to give every one some clubs
(again). I lost the .txt pad that had every ones assignments, so this time I'm
going to have Nightmare make a copy as well. That way there is no excuses for
inactivity in the AG.
For those of you that have been working, a big thanks. How ever, I really need
to get that alliance page updated. I got one update on four or five clubs. Im
waiting on everyone's so that I can send a full one in and just have it updated
completely. That is why it is so important that I get your reports. Im really
growing tired of having to remind you guys about this. So PLEASE!!! Start doing
them. Now, since some of you have been working, I want to know what you would
like to do for fun in the AG. Perhaps the problem is that I have been putting to
much work out, and not enough fun. I want YOUR idea's. If I don't get any ideas,
then I will just think that you guys are having fun as it is. So we will just
continue with what we are doing. :-)

If you want to stay on this roster I suggest you start asking for work instead
of sitting there and waiting on it to come to you. I know a few people that have
asked for work, and I am sorry. I have been uber busy doing other people's jobs
and haven't had time to get you your work. But like I said, Magister Nightmare
and my self are going to get to work. If you need work. Send me a e-mail. If you
just give me an AIM, chances are I'm not going to remember it. Lets get busy AG.
This unit use to be sooo active. Then every one just quit. If its my command,
please tell me. The only way a commander can get better is if he knows his
wrongs. So far I have been told I am doing a good job, but I want to know what
you, the ones that work under me, think. This is your chance to speak you mind.
So please take it ;)
In service to the Empire!
