STAR WARS GALAXIES DUE JUNE 26TH:

IT'S OFFICIAL - STAR WARS GALAXIES DUE JUNE 26TH
LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment announced today that Star Wars Galaxies,
possibly the most anticipated Star Wars game ever, will be in stores on June
26th, 2003. The entire press release can be read here:
http://www.lucasarts.com/products/galaxies/press5.htm.
What does this mean for the Emperor's Hammer? It means that the long-awaited EH
SWG Player Association is about to be born. The PA will be run by The Fringe,
the EH's official role-playing sub-group. All you have to do to join is e-mail
DCGM Darknyte at darknyte@alltel.net
and tell him you want to join.
Best of all, you do NOT need to use a separate e-mail address to join, so if you
want, you can base your SWG character on your existing EH persona!
We'll need all types of players in the game - from Marksmen (and women) to
Architects, Brawlers to Weaponsmiths, Craftsmen to Squad Leaders, Dancers to
Commandos. SWG has a HUGE range of skills that your character can learn, and
everyone will be encouraged to do whatever it is they like.
TWO IMPORTANT NOTES: to limit the server load during the initial release, you
will need to pre-buy a copy of the game if you want to play it as soon as it
comes out. You can do this online, at
lucasarts.com, or at most of your local electronics stores. You will also
need to make sure your system will meet the minimum requirements, listed at
http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/features/faq.jsp. I've found that
while you can play the game at 256MB, it's REALLY laggy. You'll really need at
least 512MB of RAM to play smoothly.
I've been beta testing the game for the last couple months, so I can honestly
tell you that playing this game is absolutely the closest you can get to living
in the Star Wars universe. So if you're planning on playing Galaxies, join the
EH SWG effort today!

Now that the NDA's been lifted for Galacrack, a member of the
Fleet has donated some webspace for my early guide to SWG:

If you could add that to the earlier news item when you update

Tactical
Officer (AD Mike)
<SALUTE>
Fellow Imperials. I come to you to inform you about 3rd Emperor's Hammer Poland
meeting. It will be the 3rd time when polish community within Emperor's Hammer,
to celebrate together, make friendships, drink beer, watch movies, swim and have
overall fun, during four summer days.
This meeting will be special, cause we expect guests from other countries,
mostly Germany. If they will be able to join us this summer, then it will be EH
Europe meeting. Something, I always wanted to organize. What's more. If our
Science Office, Fleet Admiral Ender mBind will be able to join us, we will have
two EH CS members with us, TAC and SCO so it will be rather strong presence.
How can you join us? First you have to travel to Poland. I know this can be
tricky and expensive, but trust me. It's worth an effort. You have to travel to
city of Bialystok. It's located, 200km east, from polish capital city of Warsaw.
Use train or bus. I know there are direct buses to Bialystok from Holland and
Western Germany. And they are pretty cheap. Once you will get the, I will pick
you up, load on truck and we will travel to Wojszki village, place of our
meeting. What can I tell you about the place? Well. It is great place to rest.
Summer house, located within the woods. Swimming pool, place to locate tents.
River nearby. Really beautiful.
What can you expect? Answer is simply. FUN! You can expect a lot of people.
People from EH and other people. Simple pilots and Command Staff. We also plan
to organize EHPLM 3 multi-player competition so you will be able to learn
multi-player flying and face good EH pilots. We we will have 6-8 computers, so
we will be able to play 3v3 or 4v4. You will never forget that experience, trust
me. We will also drink a lot of beer, probably watch some movie, we will set
campfire, have food from grill and other fancy things. A lot of fun, and once
again fun. So if you have girlfriend, take her with you.
How can you join? First email me and let me know you want to join us. I will try
to find you someone living nearby, who already has been on EHPLM, so it will be
easier for you. And then, check out if you have tent and sleeping bag. And of
course enough of money. Food is cheep here, but you always need some cash. And
then you will be ready to got.
So. If you think you can join us, do it. You won't be disappointed. Wanna meet
Tactical Officer? Here's your best chance. Cya there!

Tactical Office Report #94
by TAC/AD Marcin Szydlowski
( pbmike@go2.pl )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
Hello all. Let me think how can I start this report. Hmmm? Oh, I
got it. So...
Week of great changes. I have hired two new Tactical
Coordinators and Command Attach� (approved by GA Ronin and HA Priyum, pending
approval of SA Astatine). For more information check specified section of my
report. They have already started their working and working at 120% to help me
with TAC3K. Yes, we are closer than ever, only 42 missions to go. I will be very
happy to see, TAC3K achieve in June. No, not July but June. Is it possible? Of
course.
I have also resumed work on Tactical Manual version 3.0. After
reading it again and again, I have decided to completely rewrite it. I am like
5% done and after writing this report, I am going to work on it again. Thanks to
Philo for helping me with grammar and doing additional spelling/grammar check.
Also thanks for giving his suggestions and updates.
Also, we started working on mission creation tutorials. Philo
will work on TIE, I will work on XvT/BoP and RogueWing is already working on XWA
tutorial. I am not sure about his progress, but last time I checked he was
finishing it. So expect AlliED tutorial very soon. What's more, I will create a
set of FAQs. From general ones to mission creation ones. This will allow us to
address most common question asked by membership.
From other news. Well. #tac owner has been changed. Because I am still waiting
for Undernet to revoke my #ehpl owner status (it has been transferred to non-EH
person), my soon to be appointed CA, Philo has taken control of #tac from the
hands of Mark Schueler. I would like to thank Mark for his month of work as
channel manager.
And our SCO is back. I didn't manage to talk to him yet, but I
am sure he will be back to duty ASAP and we will get another package of patches
:) Welcome back Ender :)
Tactical Database back online
Very special thanks to Colonel Absolut Vodka, I have
successfully transferred Tactical Database, to new location. Check Tactical
Message Board for more info, or check this link to visit our database.
There is only one problem remaining but it is not critical and does not affect
testers and engineers. I will try to fix that problem very soon.
CA:TAC selected, pending XO approval
I have decided to appoint LC Philo as my Command Attach�. He was
key player of Tactical Office, serving as TCC:TIE. And he did really great (you
can check number of TIE missions/battles released recently). He is also TM Prof
and experienced mission designer. I will need to teach him some things, but I am
pretty sure he will do great. Congrats Philo.
EH Poland Meeting III: 11-14 July 2003
I have mailed domain article to GA Ronin. You can also check
main EH message board for more info, or wait for GA Ronin to add this article to
EH domain :) Also, you can mail me for more information. Cya there :)
New location of message boards
Minos is still down so our COMM decided to move message boards
to new location. They are available here. Make sure to update your favorites :)
TCCs appointed
With promotion of LC Philo, I have decided to appoint another
CA:TAC candidate as TCC:TIE. Congrats to LC Styles our experienced tester and
engineer. Also, new TCC:XvT is LCM Apophis Kuma. I am sure, they will both do
great and provide us with new battles and missions. With help from me and Philo,
I am sure they will have no problems. After all, Tactical Database management is
not so hard :)
Mission Creation Courses
Here are stats and urls for all mission creation courses:
TIE Mission Creation (TM) - 46 graduates
XvT Mission Creation (XTM/1) - 306 graduates
XvT Advanced Mission Creation (XTM/2) - 111 graduates
XWA Mission Creation (XAM) - 7 graduates
TCC:TIE, LC Philo is also planning next version of Tie mission designing (TM/2).
Vetaran TIE mission designers, feel free to email him with your ideas and
suggestions. :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAC3K countdown!
Tactical Database is not working properly yet, so no new battles this week. We
need only 42 to reach TAC3K! Good work Tactical Staff, keep it up!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New course proposed to Training Officer
I have proposed new IWATS course to Training Officer. Tactical
Staff course (TAC). It would contain basic and advanced mission on how to be
good testers, engineer, coordinator and head coordinator. It wil also explain
different options of Tactical Database. It will be required when applying on
every Tactical Office position. Right now I am waiting on Training Officer, to
reply and tell me what he thinks about this idea.
Tactical Office Person of the Week:
Congrats to Locke Setzer, on being TAC's PotW. As nominated by
TCC:XWA:
I nominate Locke Setzer for PotW, he is bugging me something shocking about
stuff to test and he does them all well and quick with excellent Beta Reports. I
pray i get more stuff for him to test soon.

Internet Office News
Alright, let's start off with the most pertinent issue, MinosNIC: Turtle has
been posting on the message boards updates on the status on Minos. We ask that
you bear with us. A new DSL connection was ordered and should have been set up
this week, but due to the incompetency of people at Bellsouth, there are still
problems. We know you need Minos. So do we. Though since it is a free service,
we ask that you just grin and bear it. Turtle is trying as hard as he can to
coordinate the recovery efforts remotely. Asking when it will be up won't do you
any good, because we don't know just how stupid these people can get. We'll just
have to wait and find out...
As you may be aware, the EH Message Boards have moved to
www.theholo.net/mb/. The EHNet links
now point there, so all existing bookmarks/links will still take you to the
right place.
The IO staff is almost done with remaking the graphics on EH.org. Only 4 more
are left, so the new ones should be up within the week.
The new IO-conglomerate project is waiting on CGM Zem to send back some required
information before we can begin developing. Now that I'm out of school,
hopefully we can accelerate the efforts.

Training Office Report #15
Admiral Keldorn Cochrane Reporting � 21st June 2003
http://www.emperorshammer.ca/
<SALUTE>
A slow week on the Training Office front-lines, thankfully.
The Training Office�s IRC colloquia project has progressed slightly over the
previous week, and I have been pleased with the general ideas that have reached
my mailbox. The details of the project as it progresses will be found on the
�Projects� page of the Academic NeXus (
http://www.emperorshammer.ca/projects.html ).
The �Apostasy� competition has not progressed much further within the Office
this week, as I am waiting on the feedback from several SubGroup Commanders whom
are (or at least should be) almost finished discussing their individual
intricacies with their own staff.
It appears to be a trend for Officers to submit applications for Command Attach�
posts when they have not been asked for. I concur with Admiral Khaine�s
sentiments in that I do not need a CA; I have an efficient Assistant whenever I
need help with the Office. For the moment this is enough for the current
workload. While I do admire the commitment and �gusto� of such members, please
do not apply when applications are not sought.
The Shadow Academy (
http://www.emperorshammer.ca/sa/ ) is 95% online, the only missing detail
that of the Krath Doctrine which needs to be rewritten with the cooperation of
the Krath High Priest and his staff. We are now waiting on final logistical
implementation before processing of the new Apprentices can begin.
The Imperial University has been moved to
http://www.emperorshammer.ca/university/ and will be gathering pace as an
automated system over the next few weeks. It is intended that it shall be
functioning at optimum performance by the time the new Imperial Senate
interactive database is complete.
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.

Operations Office Report
21st June 2003.
Welcome to another Operations Office Report, unfortunately late as I have been
rushed off my feet these past few days and and am trying to stay awake long
enough to finish typing this report.
Medal recommendations - Should I deny a medal recommendation and ask for more
details, don't e-mail me an exposition on why you think the person deserves the
award, resubmit it with the details I have asked for. Secondly, I don't mean to
be overly critical, but if you have recommendations being frequently denied,
take note of what I write for the reason, it is there to help you get it right
next time around.
Operations Office Website & Manual - Currently offline due to the troubles with
Minos.net. I am looking at mirroring the manual of a different host, perhaps the
uniforms too. I'll let you know how that pans out.
Heroes of the EH - The page is basically complete, and will be uploaded once the
Minos.net problems have been sorted out.
Wing, Ship and Other Unit Patches - Not permitted on any of the uniform types.
Squadron patches are all that is officially sanctioned. For details on Squadron
patch size and placement, refer to the Operations Manual or ask MAJ Tempest or
myself.
CA:OPS - This position is NOT open for applications, I've simply got nothing for
a CA to do.
That's it for this week,

I'd just like everybody to know that right now I am having some issues with my
notebook computer, which for the last few months I have been using as my main
computer. Unfortunately, I cannot access anything on its hard drive due to a
problem with the CPU in the notebook. So until I get a replacement CPU, I will
be unable to respond to emails which were in my inbox. So if you sent anything
important a day ago or more, and haven't received an expected response, please
let me know (I am using the webmail feature on my server now).
Also, until I'm able to compile a decent IRC client on my linux machine, I won't
be on IRC too much (I don't really like being in multiple channels in BitchX).

Honoured gentlemen,
Once again, a mostly quiet week all-in-all, excepting the resolution of HCI Case
Docket number 191.
I've also gotten a very good response from SGCOMs and senior support personnel
regarding the institution of an emergency security CService account in the major
channels. If you run a channel, and haven't yet spoken with me about this,
please don't hesitate.
That's about it for now, as I've just gotten home from work, and need a nap.
Please, as always, don't hesitate to e-mail me or catch me on IRC if you need
anything at all.

Logistics Officer Report
Vice Admiral Darknyte
Here we go again, another edition of the LO's report! No silly humor commentary
this week, let's get straight down to business, shall we?
-=This week's LO report is sponsored in part by Rebel Killer 3000: When you
absolutely must have Rebel scum eliminated and have no time for the fuss of
getting your hands dirty, use Rebel Killer 3000! It's patented formula of
additives and Snij-like ingredients will have the Rebels screaming in pain and
begging for death! Rebel Killer 3000 can be found at all finer retailers, and in
your grocer's dairy case.=-
Biggest news of this week was the acquiring of the EH Codex. It's not as
horribly out of date as I had thought it would be, so that's a great sign for
us. I've already got it online and ready to be viewed. Expect it to be updated
and have the broken links fixed very soon. The Codex can be found at
http://www.cosmicholonet.org/lo/codex Eventually, it'll be at http://lo.cosmicholonet.org/codex
but, for now
I'm having DNS issues with the nameservers used by my domain's registrar that
have prompted me to transfer the domain to another registrar to fix the problem.
For the time being use the longer "absolute" URL of the Codex, I will update
everyone once the subdomain redirect is functional. Shouldn't be more than a
week until it redirects properly.
The LO site is nearing completion thanks to the efforts of MAJ Xander Drax. Drax
has been all over the project since last week and I expect the fully functional
site to be ready for me to break. err...I mean .ready for me to use any day now.
Expect it to contain links to all the LO materials currently online as well as
links to current projects, information on upcoming projects, and just general EH
historical stuff.
The Imperial Historic Society is on the brink of reopening. I've chosen to bring
it back in an effort to organize research on the upcoming EH Encyclopedia
Project. I believe that Astatine himself worked on this project a year or more
ago, so I will be getting in contact with him to see if he has any materials to
get us started. If not, we'll strike out anew and get the project rolling. If
anyone is interested in doing research for this project, go ahead and send out
an email to me (CC my CA) and let me know what you're interested in researching.
So far I've decided we'll include the position histories for every CDMR-level
job and up in every SG. We'll be looking for the names, ranks, and time of
service for each person to hold each job. Already I've got the ATF and ISD Grey
Wolf covered thanks to the early efforts of VA Khaen and VA Khadgar. Also, if
anyone has a topic you'd like to see covered in the Encyclopedia be sure to send
me a message and let me know. I'll include anything that's valid in the
historical scope of the EH, so if you want something in just let me know and
I'll see what I can do. I expect this to be the "LO uber-project" meaning it's
going to take a great deal of time and effort from not just my own office, but
from various members of the Fleet who wish to join the IHS and help out in the
project. The IHS will not be all work, anyone who does help out can expect to be
rewarded for their service.
As I announced last week, I had selected a CA and his appointment was pending.
This week I'd like to officially announce that RA Daniel Stephens is my new CA.
Daniel is a veteran CMDR from the ISD Colossus where he earned great respect and
admiration for his work with Omicron and Iota Squadrons. Incidentally, he is now
a part of a group of ISD Colossus CMDRs who've went on to greater positions in
the EH. Ari, Troutrooper, Daniel, Abs Vodka...the list goes on and on and only
goes to prove once and for all: The ISD Colossus really does train the best
leaders in the Fleet! (Heh, shout out to all my boyz on da Collie!! What's up!!"
Well, that's it for this week...I'll see all again next week for another down

yeah...see you next week for another edition of the LO Report!

<Salute>
Greetings from the Recon Office!
Due to a massive work schedule, I haven't finished the first draft of the
letters to the Actors/Actresses as of yet. All of them will more than likely be
unique to the person I'm sending it to (obviously :P), but one thing I am
thinking about adding is about a 15-or-so question interview. Actors and such
don't have a lot of time, so I thought I'd try a 2-for-1 :)
Anyways, I will finish those first 5 letters hopefully by Sunday night, if not
Monday. Wish me luck. ;P
I will be announcing my pick for CA:RO at the beginning next week (with
approval of course ;) ).
Here is the SW related news for this week:

TheForce.net Games: Galaxies Section
Here is what we can read on their website:
After a deluge of e-mails, I felt inspired to create the TFNGames Galaxies
Section. This section will be similar to the Jedi Outcast section, but not as
extensive. From the index page: "We feel that Galaxies is too massive an
endeavor to try and devote an entire section to. Truth be told, we'd also be
somewhat embarrassed by our lack of ability to cover it effectively, especially
when there are numerous excellent sites out there who are already covering it.
Nonetheless, we had to do something, so we've assembled this section to try and
show you some of the things that we use on a daily basis. "So what will be
cover? As you can see, we will have links pertaining to Galaxies, as well as a
listing of reviews and beta thoughts. We'd love to have more, however, so if you
have ideas, links, thoughts, or reviews, E-Mail US at
games@theforce.net.

Denning to Scribe New Paperback Trilogy
Tatooine Ghost author Troy Denning is slated to write a mass-market paperback
trilogy to be published in March, July and October 2005. The trilogy will be set
at some point post-New Jedi Order, though the exact time frame has yet to be
determined.
Denning, who also authored the New Jedi Order novel Star by Star and the eBook
novella A Forest Apart, is also currently working on a story about Han Solo and
Leia, tentatively titled "Never Trust a Squib," for an upcoming issue of Star
Wars Insider magazine.
Click here (
http://www.starwars.com/eu/feature/20030303/index.html ) to read a
recent interview with Denning about his latest novel Tatooine Ghost, his writing
influences and why he thinks the Force has more to do with nature than magic.

Ep III Cast: The O'Reilly Factor
As Episode III bridges the prequel era with that of the original trilogy, many
of the characters and situations will begin to resemble or tie in with those
found in Episodes IV, V, and VI. A character that played a relatively small but
important part in Return of the Jedi will return in a younger incarnation as
actor Genevieve O'Reilly plays Mon Mothma in the next Star Wars movie.
O'Reilly has performed such stage roles as Ruth in Cosi, Veronica in The Ugly
Man and Olivia in Twelfth Night. On television, she has appeared on "Beastmaster,"
"Life" and "All Saints." Her film credits include Avatar, and most recently, she
played Officer Wirtz in The Matrix: Reloaded.
In Episode VI, Mon Mothma, played by Caroline Blakiston, appears during the
Rebel Alliance briefing prior to the attack on the second Death Star. She is the
leader of the Rebellion, and expanded universe publications explain that Mon
Mothma was once an idealistic young Senator during the fall of the Republic --
the era in which Episode III is set.
Check her out here!

Harry Potter to Take SW Twist?
(I thought it was too funny to miss, ~Shay)
The Salk Lake Tribune has been polling people about what will happen to Harry
Potter and it appears fans want it to take a "Star Wars twist" as you can see.
Here's some of the reaction:
The Salt Lake Tribune asked young readers to predict what important news
Professor Dumbledore has for Harry in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,
and 402 children and teenagers from Utah, other states and even England
responded.
The most popular theory: One or both of Harry's parents did not really die that
fateful Halloween night. Sixty-one entries made that prediction, with eight more
speculating that Harry has the power to bring his parents back to life.
It's also clear these readers know their "Star Wars": Fifty-two theorized that
the evil Lord Voldemort is Harry's uncle, father, grandfather, cousin or distant
relative; 49 bet on a familial relationship between Harry and Dumbledore.
Twenty-five are guessing Harry has a sister or brother he doesn't know about,
and a handful think Harry is related to snarky Professor Snape, kindly giant
Hagrid or the sinister Malfoy family.
For a classic look at how Harry Potter and Star Wars collide, check out this
archived essay for scores of similarities.

GM Report #6:
06.21.03
As Emailed From:
Grand Master of
the Dark Jedi Brotherhood (HA Rapier)
The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi
Time for another report and just a couple of announcements
1) new recruit processing should be beginning within the next few days so all
clans should see an influx of new members.
and
2) Announcing my first of hopefully many Grand Master Comps.
Dark Brotherhood researchers have finally determined the reason behind so many
previous Grand Masters going insane.
It is the Iron Throne itself.
Iron residue from the Throne has invaded their blood stream causing a blood
infection that eventually drove them mad.
With this in mind the Iron Throne is being melted down for TIE parts and the
Grand Master needs a new Throne.
Your task is to come up with three things
1) A story telling how this all came about and how the new Throne was chosen
2) A name for the new Throne
3) A picture or graphic of the new Throne
This competition is open to everyone. You are also welcome to work in teams of 2
and both members will be awarded equally.
Rewards have yet to be determined but everyone participating will get something
and the winners can count on something good cause after all I am the GM. :)
This Competition will run for 2 to 3 weeks so get your submissions in soon.
All submissions go directly to me at
gm@darkbrotherhood.org
Now on to the DC reports:
From the CHAN
At my invitation you've come to compete for the the honour of suffering the
final defeat..." ~ Pegasus, Yu-Gi-Oh!
My apologies for the lack of a report last week. Both this week and last week
were quiet ones for my office with little going on except routine medal
approvals. I have processed some medals for profiles missing them, and I have
begun a few updates to the Dark Side Compendium. Premier among those updates
will be a new History section that will include the History of the Dark
Brotherhood, a Fictional Account of Brotherhood Events, and histories for every
Dark Council position. The new medal images should be ready fairly soon.
That's all for this week.
From the MAA
Greetings,
Roster updates continue without many problems. Some people still can't follow
instructions, so for their benefit:
http://www.btinternet.com/~spellfire/maa.html
Some recent Summit appointments:
- Guardian Sirik Xirox: Dorimad Sol Aedile
- Krath Priest Flelmo: Acclivis Draco Aedile
- Krath Epis Frey: Tarentum Proconsul
Still can't process new members...I believe we're waiting on some Shadow Academy
thing to be finalized. A note to existing members missing profiles: If you fill
out the join form at
http://www.darkbrotherhood.org/db/join.asp and then let me know, I can sort
out the details from there (medal additions still go to the CHAN). This only
applies to existing members without profiles!
~ Dark Adept Pri

As Prefect Mordred is unable to report due to a busy schedule, I
am reporting in his stead.
1. Member Count (Active Members): 72
Member Count (With Training Platoon): 93
Member Count (With Homeguard - Full): 160
2. A:CS Lt Dingo has begun posting the weekly meetings on his web site (
http://www.geocities.com/pfccypret2001/log.html ) so that those who missed
them can catch up on events. He is also forwarding the logs to the IO as per
your orders.
3. Many new courses in the works for the CMSA but they are still in the write-up
phase so not a lot to report on them yet. LtCol Dante, despite his transfer to
Commander Operations, is still involved with the CMSA mostly as an advisor until
most of the courses are released.
4. The new Company Commander for Vindictive has been chosen. Capt Haztix Vel is
now a busy guy, as he is also our quartermaster and paymaster.
5. On a happy note, our prodigal son Capt Dron, on deployment in Iraq, recently
email the GS to tell us he was still alive and well. He's been coming up with
operations and ideas during his spare time and it will be nice to get him back
in a few months. Lt Teachdaire has finished his move from Japan following his
discharge from the Marines and will be back with us hopefully next month. It
will be a great benefit to the HF to get back too capable and dedicated troopers
with great leadership ability.
That's it from the HF front and as the Prefect may be busy next Friday as well,
I may be reporting to you again.

Standing from a high stand overlooking the Infiltrator Wing officer summit
assembled in the Renegade's main hangar, Fleet Admiral NiksaVel smiled and began
his address to the fleet.
"Officers and pilots of the Infiltrator Wing, soon we expect to see..." NiksaVel
paused turning back to glance at the Infiltrator Wing command staff standing in

"... a dramatic increase in activity of the Infiltrator Wing.
Now is the time to sharpen your skills and tune up your starfighters. For soon

As Emailed From:
Supreme
Director of the Ubiqtorate (VA Mordann)
Intelligence Division (ID)
Report of the Supreme Director #5 - 20/06/03
Roster Count: 66
(UBIQ/INTORG/BOO/ANLY/PLEX/PRAE)
1. Academy of Tactics Update
There�s 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 - and I'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 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
and you�ll receive something delightful and shiny (also known as a medal).
3. Plexus Bureau
Plexus Bureau is very low on numbers and may have to be closed
down. If you�re interested in this aspect of Intel (html, graphics etc) get in
touch with me.
4. 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 who they reckon would make a great agent then

unless you�re a BUDR or above though).
5. INTORG Recruitment Season
INTORG is looking for new members. We will be recruiting until
30/06/03. You can find my initial requirements here �
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=6989. Of course INTORG is elite and
we�re very fussy � so even if you meet the requirements you may not get in. But
if you�ve been a good loyal member of the EH you never know�
6. Applications are now being taken for Executive Director
Yep, I�ve finally got to the point where I�m willing to appoint
an ExDIR. You�ll need to be a seasoned member of the Intelligence Division,
having held the post of BUDR or higher (preferably UBIQ). You�ll need to have an
impeccable security record and be willing to work closely with Ronin and Ast.
Work will involve various odd and ends that need doing, plus covering for me
(i.e. submitting weekly reports to Ronin and chatting nonsense with Zoltar on
IRC) when I�m on leave. The successful applicant will be promoted to the rank of
Rear Admiral (RA).

Fringe Report from Chief Game Master Zem
Report of June 20, 2003
Report #8
Sirs:
Well, the biggest Fringe news is in Galaxies, namely it should be out next week.
In response to this DCGM Darknyte and I have selected former XO Compton to be
the D-MMORPG, and the head of the EH PA. He is of course a long-time EH member,
and is a beta tester for Galaxies. We expect to be fully ready to go as soon as
we have the game. For now Compton has released a guide, it can be found at
http://members.aol.com/imperialgleeclub/swg/
Our Registrar has announced an RPG game, WEG d6 style. If you
are interested please let us know. I had also planned to run an RPG game, format
TBA, so if you don't like d6, let us know, and I can run the game d20 or Email.
A few personnel changes going on in the MUD, we've lost a builder, and will
replace him. No other news this week.
Let me take this opportunity to remind you all that the Platform Directors
(D-MUD, D-RPG and D-MMORPG) are in charge of their respective platforms, that
they hold equal authority to each other in the Fringe, and that they all answer
to the DCGM and myself, who in turn answer to the XO and FC of the EH. Please do
not take it upon yourself to by-pass the chain of command in the Fringe, or to
make decisions that you have no business to make.
A few new members to the Fringe this week, thanks to Galaxies....and I expect to
see more in the next month.
The Fringe Manual is undergoing editing, I will try to get up in time to release
it at/after the EH meeting.

Chancellor of
the Senate (Kallath)
Imperial Senate
� News �
Orv has been busy with project deadlines, I have been busy with last minute
assignments and finals, so overall this wasn�t a productive week. On top of that
we had the fiasco with two Senate dissidents who apparently contacted the rDB
shortly after the secession occurred. I have concluded that there is no
immediate threat facing the Senate, however (though I suppose only the SO or
Intel would know that). But, from my own perspective, I find that the rDB
doesn�t care about the Senate or any other EH subgroups. Security measures are
still in place, but I don�t foresee any problems. We don�t know who these
dissidents are, but the rDB apparently shot them down when they approached them
about creating an official Senate. They haven�t heard anything from the two
since, so whatever it is, I�m sure it doesn�t even have rDB approval. We will,
however, find out who these two individuals are (assuming Intel doesn�t
already).
In case you didn�t look at last week�s report, I�ve appointed former Liberal
Party Leader Goersase to the position of Minister of State and reinstated
Keldorn to Minister of Education. Keldorn has already relocated the Imperial
University to the Academy Nexus:
http://emperorshammer.ca/university/. I�m not sure if everything is working
(exam submission), but since Minos is down, it�s better than nothing. News can
also be posted, I think. Minister Goersase will be on leave for a while, though
since we don�t have our database yet, it�s not of dire concern. He intends to
write lots of planetary issues while he�s gone anyway. :)

<SALUTE>
Greetings everyone.
Firstly I would deeply like to say I am sorry for my almost 0% activity for this
week. But that little piece of fiction pretty much says why. I had only planned
to be gone till Tuesday, but my father's cancer has gotten rather bad and I went
to the hospital and stayed with him until he was let out. So if you men can find
it in your hearts to let me pass on this one I would be very grateful. I cant
stop the unstoppable. How ever a few gentlemen did keep things running and I
would like to thank them personally in this e-mail. Lieutenant Colonel Nightmare
(Magister Equitum) and Major Delak (Envoy). Your activity and dedication have
been noticed and will be rewarded. Now on to the AG news. Well this week has
been rather slow, but thanks to the efforts of the Magister and Envoy's we have
a few comps being prepared. The FES has still not gotten back to me on the comp
with them. So I when I go into there channel I will be talking to there leader.
I hope they will participate. Nothing pleases me more than clubs working hand in
hand and having fun. I am also planning an alliance between the Imperial Order
and the Emperors Hammer. I will keep all of you AG peeps updated. Mr. Ronin and
Mr. Astatine will get an e-mail when its official. Now beginning Monday there
will be an AG Run On. I will start it on the AG message board. The only thing I
ask about it is that we dont bring in Dark Jedi and stuff. That turns every Run
On into a total disaster. Next off I want a site. Major Delak has already said
yes to making the new AG site, but I want more people to help him work on it. If
you got web skills than chip in and I will reward you. The reward will be judged
on the quality of the new site. You have plenty of time. So if you want to work
on it get back to me. Also I want to write some AG courses for IWATS. I am going
to write the "Basic Diplomacy Exam". But if anyone else has some ideas than let
me know and I will tell ya if its ok to submit it. Also AWOL check is over and
every one reported in. Good job guys. Anyway, once again sorry for my lack of
activity. I really am trying but its going to be a rough month for me. So please
cc Magister Nightmare on all official stuff incase I cant get back to you in
time. Well that's about it. Thanks for reading.

MinosNIC Downtime Update:
06.15.03
As Emailed From: Chris Hutton
Hey guys, just a brief report on the MinosNIC downtime to fill you in.
Basically, the connection from Bellsouth went down on Friday and has been down
since. I've had somebody at the house trying to fix it, but to no avail. I've
had this problem before (the DSL equipment syncs with the central office, but no
data is being passed... consequently, DHCP fails renewing the IP), but never for
this long before. We're going to continue resetting the server periodically,
hopefully it will come back up soon. I'll also get on the phone today or
tomorrow with the dreaded Bellsouth techs, who have the collective IQ of a rock.
There is hope on the horizon, though - the new business feed from Covad ought to
be going in place soon. The router and associated equipment will arrive in the
mail tomorrow. After that, we're waiting on when Bellsouth completes the
physical data line connection at the central office. This might occur Monday or
Tuesday.

<salute>
GA Ronin, I come before you to humbly ask for a promotion for
the IWCOM AD NiksaVel to the rank of FA. Niks has led us well and fairly. In
fact he has served longer than most others in the position, I should know since
I've been on the IWCS as long as Niks himself nearly (about 2 years now and
we've both served under the former IWCOM's FA Moreco & AD Rastyn as well). AD
NiksaVel personally keeps the IW Combat Site up-to-date and has rendered all the
IW medal & ribbon images (even new ones upon request if necessary) plus his
regular IWCOM duties.
http://iwcom.minos.net/
(here's Niks IW Comp center site). I hope you will consider my request, I don't
make these sort of inquiries often or without cause.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Emperor's Hammer and welcome to 93rd Tactical Office report, by yours
truly, AD Mike. We have week of milestones. Or actually one. I have been TAC for
almost 6 months and during that period of time, I have managed to approve and
process over 2000 high scores. I can't compare that to any other TAC, cause I
don't have any data about it. But I guess it's not that bad :)
Another issue is Tactical Database. It have been transferred to
new location, which will be addressed in separated paragraph.
I have also started looking for my Command Attach� and opened
this position for applications. So far I have received only two mails. I know
requirements are high, but I need someone real good. I think I will choose
someone next week and send it for approval.
And I think that's enough of this short introduction.
Tactical Database back online
Very special thanks to Colonel Absolut Vodka, I have
successfully transferred Tactical Database, to new location. Check Tactical
Message Board for more info, or check this link to visit our database.
There are still some issues with our database. I don't know what causes them,
but it acts like 'read only' database. I guess AbV will have to check this out.
I expect TacDB to be fully operational within next few hours. After all we must
achieve TAC3K ASAP.
CA:TAC open for applications
Check Tactical Message Board for all details. I am looking for
someone solid, with loyalty towards EH and my person. Someone with fresh mind,
new ideas, but also bag of experience. Remember, maybe someday you will replace
me on this position. I am not ethernal. So, good luck to all who applied. I will
make my decision very soon, so don't wait till the last hour.
Mission Creation Courses
RogueWing agreed to send me weekly stats. So I guess he will do
it next week:
TIE Mission Creation (TM) - 46 graduates
XvT Mission Creation (XTM/1) - 306 graduates
XvT Advanced Mission Creation (XTM/2) - 111 graduates
TCC:TIE, LC Philo is also planning next version of Tie mission designing (TM/2).
Vetaran TIE mission designers, feel free to email him with your ideas and
suggestions. :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAC3K countdown!
Tactical Database is not working properly yet, so no new battles this week. We
need only 58 to reach TAC3K! Good work Tactical Staff, keep it up!

Noone submitted anything this week.
Tactical Office Person of the Week:
No PotW this week. Noone really stood out.

Final word:
My office is always open. I don't do any business on IRC, but I
ALWAYS reply to questions and suggestions. What do I mean by EH business. Here's
example: "Mike, please award me my mission MoT-rh", and other things like that.
If you have question and I am not available, try joining #tac

Admiral Keldorn Reporting � 13th June 2003

<SALUTE>
Huzzah! A full contingent of IWATS Professor is once more a reality � and a most
pleasant one at that. My commendations go out to all the current Professors for
their exemplary (and timely) service; I am pleased to that that on several
occasions this week there have been no submissions pending grading � previously
a rare occurrence that now I expect to be a regular.
The Training Office (under the sponsorship of the Imperial University) is going
to launch a series of IRC (Internet Relay Chat �
http://www.mirc.com and so on.) colloquia � individual events that serve to
educate and discuss matters of importance to our role as members of the
Emperor�s Hammer and the internet community. Think of these events as �online
conferences� whereby anyone may attend and, under the direction of at least one
applicable professional, ask questions and discuss topics of relevance to the
subject at hand. I have many ideas for these events but am eager to get a
diverse variety, hence I am calling for proposals for these events to focus upon
(such topics can span Star Wars canon to matters of real-life relevance;
literature, popular culture, music � the possibilities are essentially endless).
I hope to be able to invite professionals from the more distinct topics to come
and talk to us about their field � therefore, these events should prove to be
both hugely entertaining and pedagogically valid� In other words; a good thing.
Ideas should be sent to me at
to@emperorshammer.org.
This time of year is a terribly daunting one for many members of the Emperor�s
Hammer due to the dreaded exams. I am not so far-gone that I have forgotten what
these are like, and to that end I would like to wish a hearty good-luck to those
of you that are in the midst of these trials � and to those that have now
completed them, enjoy the calm before the returning storm, and I do hope they
went well.
The Training Office is now accepting Course proposals. With stability now
re-established within IWATS, and a full compliment of IWATS Staff now a reality,
I have decided to re-open the Office to proposals of new Courses to be included
in the IWATS repertoire. There are a few restrictions upon proposals; I am open
to many diverse and innovative ideas, and would like to encourage the proposal
of specifically non-programming Courses at this time. 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.

Vice Admiral Darknyte
Well, well, well look what we have here! Looks like everyone's favorite
miscreant made it onto the CS proper. Well, I'll spare everyone the obligatory
speech that start most 1st Edition CO reports, no kissing up to Ronin and
Astatine for promoting me, no big promises of what I plan to do with the job, no
outbursts of joy at gaining such a lofty position in the club. No Sir, not from
the Darknyte. not at all. All I will say is that I do thank Ronin and Astatine
for for this shot and I will do my best to fulfill the position and live up the
expectations you have of me.
Now, with that out of the way let's hop on in and see what the water's like.
This is my first ever report as a Command Officer, so I don't know if I can get
away with all the informality and humor as I did in my Lord Ambassador reports,
so if I am breaking the established procedures of making my reports dry and to
the point, please let me know. I'd have no problem stepping into line and making
my reports nothing more than bits of data being spewed out in a monotone.
First order of business this week was setting up a staff. I know a lot of people
said I needed no staff until I actually started to do the work, but I prefer to
get my staff in line first then do the work with their help and support. I chose
an LOA this week, but he's gotten himself confined with an LAACDOC. I really
don't know if I'll get to keep him or not, but I did select CM Per-Aa to take
the position after he applied for CA and didn't quite make it. Per, I wish you
well with you HCI stuff, give me a shout if I can lend a hand.
Next, after much controversy about where I shouldn't and shouldn't post CA:LO
application requests and whether or not I should put such a tight deadline on
the aforementioned applications, I did collect, review, and select an applicant
for my CA. He's already been confirmed by 3 out of 4 senior staffers polled, so
I'd like to announce my CA-Elect is MAJ Daniel Stephens, a longtime veteran of
the ISD Colossus. Congrats Dan, just don't celebrate too long, we have work to
do.
I've got an LO site contracted out to MAJ Xander Drax, an IOA who helped on the
EH.org redesign. I expect him to have it finished up sometime in the coming week
so that will be great. Also, I've contacted AbK and gotten his word that he'll
have me a fully-coded version of the Codex ready for use very soon. He promised
it for today, so I hope it's ready for me to get my hands on and mess with. Ah,
the power. I could write anything in it and change history! MWA HA HA HA.
Sorry, I forgot. you don't go mad from power in your first week.
The Newsletters have also been put online on my own domain and are ready to
serve the Fleet. You can access all 94 issues in ZIP format at
http://www.cosmicholonet.org/lo/nls/ I've yet to actually create a page to
link them normally, but that is an index of the folder which lists and allows
downloads of all files in the folder.
Researchers are also needed. I have a feeling the Codex is going to need some
updating once I get it, so soon I'll be looking for members who wish to help do
research into various aspects of the EH to help effort to update it. More
details on that to come. Also, if anyone out there from the lowliest FM to the
FC have any suggestions on what types of historical materials you'd like to see
on the LO site, just let me know. It's my hope that one day the LO site will
serve as a portal to the most complete and accurate archive of the EH's long and
proud history.
That's if for this week, didn't really do much actual work but,
that will all change as soon as I get my hands on the Codex, that will become my
primary project until it's completed, accurate, and fully up to date.
In Service to the Empire,

Recon Office Report # 12:

Reconnaissance
Officer (VA Joe)
Recon Office
<Salute>
Greetings from the Recon Office!
Not a terrible amount from me this week (unfortunately) save for at least one
Item. I have a copy of all the major ( and some not so major) actor and
actresses' mailing addresses from all of the Star Wars films. I will be buying
envelopes and stamps this week and starting to work on each one in turn,
starting with the big names: Harrison Ford, James Earl Jones, Samuel L. Jackson,
and.. of course.. Natalie Portman(!).
I will be keeping a list of who I send a letter to and when, so I can keep track
of how long it's been since they should have gotten the piece of mail. And for
those bigger name stars, ill probably be sending it 2-3 day priority mail. Those
large cardboard envelopes bring a lot of attention to themselves, so it will
come to their attention quicker.
Also, one idea I had for promoting the EH with these actors/actresses is sending
them something from the EH Store. I'm thinking a hat (baseball cap sounds good).
Just imagine if one of them wore it out in the public eye. >:P
Ronin, I'd like to talk to you about this more in detail, and as long as we
don't send a hat to *everyone*, I'm very willing to go in for half of the price
of the hats. ;P
That's about it from the Recon Office, Time for SW News!!
====================
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Happy Birthday Qui-Gon Jinn!!!

I am 5 days older! Now if I could only look like her - Shay`la)

New Jedi Order eBook Debut and Unifying Cover
For the first time ever, the Star Wars: The New Jedi Order series novels Vector
Prime by R. A. Salvatore, and Dark Tide I: Onslaught and Dark Tide II: Ruin by
Michael A. Stackpole are now available in eBook format.
This special eBook edition of Vector Prime includes: The New Jedi Order: Vector
Prime novel by R. A. Salvatore, interviews with some of the key players from the
New Jedi Order series creative team regarding the origin of the series, the
Yuuzhan Vong section of The New Jedi Order Bible, and illustrations and
technical information on the Yuuzhan Vong Worldship, the Millennium Falcon and
the Jade Fire from Star Wars Essential Guide to Vehicles & Vessels.
As the first three NJO books go digital, the last book of this bestselling
series, The Unifying Force by James Luceno, is due out in November 2003. In this
storyline, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia Organa Solo, their children, and their
comrades in the Galactic Alliance rally for their last stand against the enemy
that threatens not only the galaxy, but the Force itself.
Here's the first glimpse of the final Unifying Force cover by artist Cliff
Nielsen, whose stunning mix of paint and pixels can be found in the entire Jedi
Apprentice young reader series, and on the hardcover novels of The New Jedi
Order.

Ewan McGregor Voices Rodney in Robots
As reported at the end of March, Ewan McGregor is part of the voice cast for
"Robots", the forthcoming animated film. USA Today reports:
The voice cast includes Ewan McGregor as a young robot named
Rodney, "who grows up on the outskirts of a huge metropolis and wants to work
with the most influential character in the city, an inventor," Wedge says.
Halle Berry is Cappy, the hot executive 'bot who catches
Rodney's eye.
Stanley Tucci and Dianne Wiest speak for Rodney's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Copperbottom. Mel Brooks is the inventor known as Big Weld. Drew Carey
and Amanda Bynes are part of the Rusties, a gang of obsolete robots.
In Robots, "People are judged by what they are made of," Wedge says. "Many
themes weave in and out that comment on the state of our technical snowballing
and upgrading. We're not looking at what we've left behind."

Harrison Ford Talks Lucas & Star Wars
Harrison Ford is certainly doing the rounds in support of his new movie,
Hollywood Homicide. Here are a few excerpts from the KRT Wire:
Everyone thinks it was the sardonic Han Solo that put Harrison Ford on the
docket for Hollywood's A-list. But it wasn't. It was really with his tiny part
as a wiseacre racer in "American Graffiti" that things began to change for the
better.
"It was when I worked for the first time with George Lucas and
he wanted me to get a crew-cut and I suggested a white cowboy hat instead. It
was the first time anybody ever listened to what I was saying and thought it was
a good idea," says Ford, seated at an oval-shaped table in a hotel suite here on
the 15th floor.
When he was cast as Han Solo in "Star Wars" his life changed forever. "Suddenly,
because of my relationship to that successful film, I had the opportunities to
work when I wanted to work. I had the choice of material. I suddenly began to
make substantial money and billing above-the-title and all the rigmarole that
goes with the business of being a viable, bankable actor," he says. "Just now,
finally, I could go to work and was doing what I wanted to do."

Studio 360 Compares Matrix & Star Wars: The Empire Reloaded
Isbeth sends in news of another Matrix / Star Wars comparison article:
On Saturday, May 24th, National Public Radio's Studio 360, a
magazine format radio program "Where Art and Real Life Collide", had a
commentary comparing The Matrix to Star Wars. They have had interesting things
to say about Star Wars in the past and this comparison included information on
how both movies were for different times. If you would like to read the
commentary or listen to it, you can go to their web site: Studio 360.
Here's an excerpt:
Both are sci-fi epics featuring awesome cinematic effects of a
kind we'd never seen before.
And both movies brilliantly re-synthesized the cultural DNA of
dubious, pulpy pop sources -- Saturday morning serials for Star Wars, video
games and Hong Kong action films for The Matrix, and comic books for both.
And both stories conform to the timeless structure of the hero's journey that
the mythographer Joseph Campbell sketched out decades ago ...starting with the
hero's step over the threshold into the unknown with the help of guardians and
mentors.
Back then we had Yoda and Obi Wan Kenobi.
Today we have Morpheus and the Oracle.
Both stories feature an initially clueless hero who discovers his own
preternatural powers and then battles against a technologically monstrous
totalitarian empire.

The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi
Greetings
Time for another report from you beloved Grand Master (well, I can hope anyway)
Things are looking bright for the Dark Brotherhood (was that contradictory?)
Astatine has just informed me that he is only awaiting some information from the
Head Master and then we can begin processing what looks to be about 100 new
recruits we have received since the split took place 7 weeks ago.
Also we have a new Great Jedi War due to start in about 3 weeks. It will run for
about 30 days and be the first of two GJWs within the next year. The schedule as
planned goes something like this. After the GJW there will be a month of down
time, clans can hold internal comps, things like that... After that there will
be 4 months of Vendetta comps (clan vs. clan) that will generate a story line
that will lead right into the next GJW... lather, rinse, repeat and so on. This
will mean a GJW every 6 months for the foreseeable future... Hope your ready for
it.
That's all for me for this week. I hope to see you all on IRC soon and don't be
afraid to say hi, I don't bite but sometimes the force lightning can be painful.
GM Rapier
From the Obelisk High Commander
1. I've only got one person on board for my Galactic Battlegrounds project. If
you're interested in helping out in creating custom DB SWGB campaigns, then
please email me to express your interest.
2. I'm in discussion with the me with the times that you are available.
Grand Master's Royal Guard
I am in discussions right now with the leaders of the Black Rock Knights on
running a JK2 competition against them. So, get ready... I'm also gonna find you
JK1'ers a clan to smack around on.
Always remember that there are 4 multiplayer competitions per week in #kaiburr
and I expect you to show up at at least one per week. If you don't have time to
show up every now and then at least to a multiplayer competition then quite
frankly you don't have time to be in the Guard and I'm going to start dropping
dead weight. The competition schedule is as follows:
Monday - 3-5PM Est
Tuesday - 2-5PM Est
Wednesday 5-8PM Est
Saturday - 2-4PM Est
You can nearly always find Tatsu or myself on the JK2 server, along with many
others. So, drop by!
http://www.impstar.net/gmrg/ contains all of the files you need as well as
the IP address. Get in touch with the DGM, OHC, or myself for the password. You
also may run upon someone else who has it that will share with you.

Been a very interesting week. New Vice President of Operations Loor has been
hard at work working on competition ideas, as well as regaining resources from
the website of the former VPO, Thorin Oakenshield. If you have any ideas for
competitions or any related topics, please contact CG Loor (
loor@home.se ).
The changes are currently ready, we're just waiting on Leeson to finish the
mammoth task of creating the new database based on the reforms. As soon as the
database is ready for use, Fleet Imaging Corporation and Cosmic Holonet
Corporation will be merged under the leadership of Commissar Glorick. He'll be
looking for active and qualified Detachment Commanders to help him along, so
start writing up applications if you're interested.
I've almost completed the creation of the Presidents Website and it should be up
within the week - I hope. It contains information on the Presidents Inspection
and other related topics as well as links to resources such as the Manual, which
will be updated soon.
WO Wedge Antilles has been made acting-FIC CEO for the time being so the
corporation remains stable until the merger.

1. 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 anyone is interested in helping to compile
this, get in touch with me at
sdir@ehintel.org.
There will be a pretty medal for your efforts... Likewise, if you have anything
which you feel would make a nice addition to the Com-link (please feel free to
draw stuff and write fiction) send it my way and you�ll receive something
delightful and shiny (i.e. a medal).
2. 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 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).
3. INTORG Recruitment Season
INTORG is looking for new members. We will be recruiting until 30/06/03. You can
find my initial requirements here �
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=6989. Of course INTORG is elite and
we�re very fussy � so even if you meet the requirements you may not get in. But
if you�ve been a good loyal member of the EH you never know�
4. Academy of Tactics
VA Raith is starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel� Some of you
should have received your grades back in the past few days. The rest of you � be
patient. If you have submitted the General test to the AoT and have yet to
receive a response, please email me and I will arrange your placement within a
Bureau.
5. Open UBIQ Positions - Applications are NOT being taken at this time...
Currently both ExDIR and SPC lie vacant. For the time being there will
be no SPC as I feel the position is unnecessary. I should probably get
around to ExDIR hunting in a week or two � so keep being diligent:p.

Lord Ambassador Report #1: 06.14.03
As Emailed From:
Lord Ambassador
(RA Destavol)
EH Advanced Guard
Lord Ambassador Destavol Atreyu Gin sat at his desk aboard
the Dreanaught Tranquility. Slowly stirring the ice in his glass of vodka, he
opened his laptop and began to read. His new Magister had already written his
report. Destavol was glad that he had picked such a good man for this job. It
was now time for his report. He began writing his first official report.
<SALUTE>
Greetings Advanced Guard and all who have been cc'd on this. Well its been a
long first week. But a creative one at that. I have spent most of this week
trying to get in touch with the AG member's and our strongest supporting allies.
My first activity was getting in touched with the Force Elite Soldiers about a
compitition. I didn't get to speak with Kardoon but how ever I did get to speak
with Ambassador Rage and he contacted the navy leaders. Only about 60 of there
navy member's still play XvT and XWA, but they will be there. Or so I have been
told.
Next project I did was finding out about the Galactic Empire.
Its a long time club and a long time ally with the EH. However the leader, Grand
Admiral Daemon, still has not came into contact with my self or any other
ambassador that has e-mailed him. But a few members have been told and is
sending the request for Daemon to contact me up the ranks. Hopefully I will
receive word from him within a week at most. If not I will be speaking with
other leaders about what might be wrong.
Now, I would like to announce my choice for the new Magister
Equitum. Congratulations go to Lieutenant Colonel Nightmare. His knowledge of
the Advanced Guard and Diplomatic tactics will prove useful in improving all
inter-club relations. Now my plans for this coming week is assigning all
Ambassador's and Envoy's to clubs. They are to stay in touch with these clubs
and keep the trades and relations strong. Also they will be the ones that try to
set up comp's between the clubs. The assigning will begin after I end the AWOL
check next Friday.
Which brings me to my next subject. The only people who have
replied to the AWOL check is Lieutenant Colonel Nightmare and Major Brad Tack.
Guys, I know you are there. Everyone replied to the last AWOL check, however I
know this last week was exams week for many. So I am expecting your ID line this
week. So lets get them in! I want them sent to
la@emperorshammer.org and
n1ghtm4r3@hotmail.com.
Now lets report in guys so I can move along with my plans. That
will be just about it for this Lord Ambassador report. I hope every one enjoyed
it.
In service to the Empire!

A Request - Medical
Officer Resigns, Replacement Needed: 06.07.03
As Emailed From:
Former EH Medical
Officer (RA Jan Wemmel)
Fleet Medical Corps
(URL to be
updated soon...!)
Grand Admiral Ronin, Sector Admiral Astatine, members of the
Fleet Medical Corps,
In Germany we have a saying: "A horrible end is better than endless horror"
Today I want to do something, that has been overdue for quite some time.
When I became MO one year and one month ago, I did so with the
best intentions and with a very long application for the job, stating all the
things I wanted to do to get the FMC back to old numbers and activity-levels.
It hurts me to say, that I hardly achieved any of these goals
and my own activity dropped into almost nonexistence. RL did its part, but
mainly it was because of my usual laziness. For that I want to apologize and I
think I can promise, that I won't do that again as MO, because, I hereby want to
announce my resignation from that position.
It has been fun sometimes and I learned a lot about administration... and failed
to use it... but with my apprenticeship nearing its end I'll have to travel a
lot to visit courses in color management and other stuff you need for offset
printing, not to mention learning for the final exams.. in short: I'll be quite
busy in the near future and won't have the time it would take to really change
the Fleet Medical Corpse. The FMC deserves better.
Again: my deepest apologies for my inactivity and inability to command this
bunch of (SW-)crazy and fun people.
There are lots of people I want to thank for past and present things, most
notably:
Frey Gallandro, who was a great at reminding me, what I should do and forced me
to do it ;)
Mordred, who was the best of Spec-Ops and left the FMC to focus on improving his
HF rank and position... and that he did!
Death, who was always there with advise and suggestions
Carl Lost, who didn't hesitate to do the right things in times of crisis and is
among the best officers and friends I met during my career in the EH
JediEclipse, who did a wonderful job with the Homepage so far! keep it up and
the FMC will have a home worthy of a SOTW!
There are many more, but I don't want to make this mail longer than it already
is.
I will stay in the FMC as advisor (Doc of Wing II is already taken ;) ) and will
request my transfer to Kappa Squadron after getting the confirmation of this
mail from GA Ronin.
I salute you!

The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi
"The Dark Brotherhood has a new unit within it's structure, that
of the Alvaak Council, below you can read the description of the Council which
tentatively tells you what it is about. At this point I would like each of the
House Summits to nominate one of their members to take up the title of Nestor
within their House, and sit on the body of the Alvaak Council, representing not
only their House, but also their Clan and Order.
Email your choice of Nestor to the DGM (
dgm@darkbrotherhood.org ) and the
P:DGM (kramerbirgit@hotmail.com)"
"Alvaak Council, a body of representatives from the Clans of the Dark
Brotherhood. The purpose of this Council is to discuss and debate ideas for the
progression of the Dark Brotherhood, it is also a forum for allowing
constructive feedback about parts of the subgroup.
The Council is made up of one member from each House within the Dark
Brotherhood, along with the Deputy Grand Master, his Praetor and chaired by the
Overlord of Clan Alvaak. Each member of the Council carries the title of Nestor,
and is chosen to represent the House by the Summit of that House. Their position
on the Council is purely temporary, to ensure that the maximum number of ideas
and opinions reach the Council, the entire body of Nestors is periodically
replaced with new representatives. At any time the Overlord or the Deputy Grand
Master can call for a new body of Nestors to replace the existing one.
Anyone may submit an idea or feedback to the Council via their House Nestor, it
is then discussed by the Council and if an idea is deemed to be beneficial, it
is refined and then sent on to the Dark Council for consideration by the Grand
Master and the respective Dark Council members.
The Alvaak Council is a Mailing List, created using yahoogroups.com, it is
recommended that every Nestor creates a user account on yahoogroups.com and
selects the mailing option they wish to receive, as default members will be set
to receive each individual email, however it should be noted that the daily
digest option will be used by the static members of the Council."

Regrets from me about
Abuse from DB: 06.04.03
As Emailed From:
DJK JKast (Sith)/QUA/Caliburnus
of Scholae Palatinae
Hi Grand Admiral,
First, let me say this: I'm just a guy. I'm a random guy and yes I'm in the rDB.
But, I'm writing to you for perhaps a different purpose than most of the letters
that you get from rDB members. In the past months of seeing what has gone on
between the DB and the EH and the EHDB, I've been really appalled, and I can't
say by just one side, but by both.
I am in the DB now because I'm here with my friends. When it
came down to deciding between the two sides of the argument, it came down to the
fact that all of my friends were in the DB, not still with the EH. I am deeply
saddened by this, however, because I can see how much trouble everyone goes
through here and how the amazing organization of this group has kept it going
for so long, even with thousands of members.
I know that every day you must get "I hate Ronin" e-mail, and
I'm sure that Ast gets the same. If I were you, I know that it'd be hard on me
getting stuff like that when I know that I'm trying to do what I believe is
right and trying to keep what I have worked so hard for. The problem here is
that, that both sides know, very steadfast, that they are doing what is right.
The problem with that problem is that neither side is right because there is no
right situation here, so no one will really benefit from it.
What I am really writing to you to say is that I am personally
sorry for all of the stuff you've had to take in the past month or so or
whatever. It might not mean much for you to hear that, but I guess it helps me
knowing that I've said it. I personally have wanted in no way to be allied
against you, harass you in any way, or anything like that. It pains me to be
associated with a group who does, but it just seems like that's where I belong.
I'm the Quaestor of a house with no active members. I finally get my chance at
having a leading position, and that chance gives me a house with no members.
I want to close this E-mail with just, I'm sorry. I honestly
can't stand to watch arguments between you and one of my friends or between a
friend in EH and a friend in DB, it's just senseless. I feel sorry for
everything you're getting, and I thought maybe one little E-mail out of a big
group might feel kinda welcome or something. Hell, I doubt you even read it, but
it's worth a shot.
Sincerely,

Well. I don't have much to tell you. I have started new work and I work since
6am to 16pm. 10 hours. So I am very very busy. But I have process all of high
scores and other things.
Tactical Database is also down, and I am looking for webspace to
place it back online. Without it, we will have no new battles.
Tactical Database offline
Tactical Database has been taken offline, by Corran Force. It
used to be hosted on his isdchallenge.org. Now I need at least 10MBs of webspace
with IIS and MS Access support to place it back online. Otherwise I will have to
place it on brinkster and you all know restrictions. So, if anyone has any
webspace and would like to place my files there or give me access, just let me

Mission Creation Corner
And some TIE tips by our TCC:TIE, LC Philo:
If you have a reload craft in your mission, make sure that the player's craft
has an order besides "Hold Station". If it doesn't, the reload craft doesn't
wait to be summoned to start trying to board the craft, and no warheads are
transferred when it does dock.
Oath of Loyalty
Oath of Loyalty started. Your job is to create battle about rDB
accident. Of course make EH win :) You have 2 months so it's enough time to make
even 10 mission battle. Check my profile to see competition details. Have fun
and good luck :) PS. People who submitted battles for it already, do it again.

Admiral Keldorn Reporting � 5th June 2003
http://www.emperorshammer.ca/
<SALUTE>
My congratulations to the new BitchX (BX) Professor, Lieutenant Orrimaarko Reeft
of the ISD Immortal and to the new (well overdue) Active Server Page (ASP)
Professor, Fleet Admiral Darkov.
Work on the �Apostasy� competition has continued, if rather behind schedule due
to a lack of input from some quarters � hopefully that will be remedied shortly
and the final planning can continue.
All of the Shadow Academy courses are now available on the �Academic NeXus�,
although the tests are still not online � they should follow within the next few
days.
It would seem clarification is needed as to what was meant in regards to the ban
on Combat Rating �Races�; I have already given such details in the report where
it was initially announced, but will repeat for the sake of ease:
Admiral Khaine and I have been contemplating the issue of Combat Rating �Races�
as official competitions. I have decided that all future internal unit
competitions of this nature will be denied. I would like to highlight the
emphasise on �internal unit competitions�; this only applies to a competition
involving one unit (Squadron, Wing etc.) and not to a inter-unit competition �
I.e. Squadron vs. Squadron, Wing vs. Wing etc. We have reached this conclusion
because we feel that the granting of an award (in this case, and Iron Star) for
achieving another award (in this case, Legions of Combat and Distinguished
Flying Crosses) is a foolish enterprise that benefits few.
I would also like to remind all TC Officers (�again) that there are methods to
include CR �Races (in the loosest possible sense) as a constituent part in other
competitions (I.e. using a points-based system � 2 points for MP participation,
5 points for an MP win etc.). There we have it. I have included a small section
on the new �Academic NeXus� (
http://www.emperorshammer.ca/comps.html ) to include such �Standing Orders�
such as these.
The Training Office is now accepting Course proposals. With stability now
re-established within IWATS, and a full compliment of IWATS Staff on the near
horizon, I have decided to re-open the Office to proposals of new Courses to be
included in the IWATS repertoire. There are a few restrictions upon proposals; I
am open to many diverse and innovative ideas, and would like to encourage the
proposal of specifically non-programming Courses at this time. 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.

Operations Office Report
6th June 2003.
Quiet week and for once I think there is nothing that requires a reminder.
Work continues on the 'Heroes of the EH' site, I am experimenting with the
layout and various graphical approaches. At present it includes only a list of
MoH recipients but I am hoping to expand it at a later date to include when and
how the member received their MoH.
I have also started on making the rather drab Operations Manual more 'graphic' -
which was one of the requests from the survey. Watch for progress reports.
That's it for now,

Star Wars Weekend #4 Update: Eat Breakfast with Chewie and Boba Fett
Fan favorites from the classic trilogy, Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) and Jeremy
Bulloch (Boba Fett), are the special guests at the fourth installment of the
2003 Walt Disney World Star Wars Weekends at the Disney-MGM Studios theme park
in Florida.
Click here to enter our 2003 Star Wars Disney Weekends picture
gallery to catch a glimpse of the action.
At a towering 7' 3," actor Peter Mayhew is best known for his memorable role as
Chewbacca, Han Solo's furry and loyal Wookiee co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon.
Mayhew played Chewie in Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and
Return of the Jedi. Fans were recently thrilled to learn that he will return to
reprise his role as Chewbacca for Episode III, which is filming in Sydney,
Australia in June.
Actor Jeremy Bulloch also joins Mayhew at the Star Wars Weekend festivities.
Bulloch played the legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back
and Return of the Jedi. Fans may also recognize him from his previous work as
Edward of Wickham from the popular TV series Robin of Sherwood.
Fans attending this particular Star Wars Weekend are in for a special treat, as
the Official Star Wars Fan Club will be organizing a breakfast, where members
can greet Bulloch and Mayhew and receive their autographs.
As favorite Star Wars characters such as stormtroopers, Ewoks and Tusken Raiders
roam the park entertaining fans and signing autographs, Young Jedi hopefuls can
test their lightsaber skills. Check StarWars.com for the ever growing pictures!

Kaybee Toy Exclusives
Look for these toy exclusives at your nearby Kaybee store this summer: 12" scale
Gamorrean guard, 3 3/4" scale TIE fighter with pilot and 3 3/4" scale Imperial
shuttle.
Jabba the Hutt's palace wouldn't be the same without the brutish, porcine
Gamorreans protecting it. This highly-detailed Gamorrean guard 12" deluxe action
figure is authentically sculpted with molded shoulder armor, helmet, cloth and
"fur" garments and sandals. It also features two removable heavy-duty axes.
Fully articulated, this first-ever recreation of the Gamorrean guard in the
large 12" scale is due out this summer.

Another summer Kaybee exclusive is the 3 3/4" scale Imperial shuttle. This
Lambda-class shuttle is used by the Imperial fleet to transport passengers and
various cargo. This enormous, stunning recreation of the Imperial shuttle from
Return of the Jedi is authentically detailed and features plenty of extras for
the discerning collector. Measuring over 2-1/2' tall when the wings are
deployed, this deluxe vehicle comes with retractable landing gear, a fold-down
ramp and adjustable blaster cannons. Open the cockpit and there's enough room
for two Star Wars 3 3/4" action figures (sold separately). The Imperial
shuttle's wings even fold up for landing and lower at the push of a button for
flight.

Collectors will also be eager to see the Star Wars Imperial TIE fighter,
scheduled for realease this summer. Features include an opening cockpit,
detachable wings and a TIE fighter pilot. Plus this version of the TIE fighter
is the first to have an accurate rear hull detail. This limited edition vehicle
comes in a unique Death Star diorama packaging. The TIE fighter measures
approximately 10" x 5.5" x 9" and is for use with 3 3/4" action figures (sold
separately).

you'll get it!
Chris also sent in a bit more of info:

I'm resending this report as a summary from last two weeks, since I can't find
it on the HFGS list and the GA didn't receive it as well.. I think my email was
bouncing longer than I imagined!
My deepest apologies!
In these last 2 weeks, lots of things changed in the Fist.
-BC Ironfist, CO Delak, CC Domi and PCs JediEclipse and
Techdaire resigned from their positions, and the restructuring completed!
Wil Striker is the new BC, Dante is the new CO, Domingo C have
returned for the CT position, CC still to be chosen and Shadowmaker made it to
Eclipse and Savager to Vendetta.
-The PL Started, all details on the Message Board!
-Haztix is our new Quartermaster, and the Carrida Bank manual is being updated
so you all know how to proceed with transfers and money awarding.
-New SSBTC just sent to the CT office, and expect it to be released very soon.
I'd like to see you all to at least take a look to this new SSBTC, and just
complete it by yourselves, no need to resend them. Just make sure you know all
the changes made. SSITC and IOTC are next on the redesign.
-XO Cypher and PRF Mordred are both on semi-leave. We are around for the most
important stuff, but I don't think I�ll be able to attend any meetings till June
30th, due the preparations for Brazillian Jedicon 5th edition, with I'm
vice-president! If you have a few thousand dollars to spent, come to Brazil to
enjoy it! :P
I'm still whenever I can on IRC (Monday to Thursday), and all my emails are back
online, so any urgent matters, contact me!
-New CSMA site on final approach to completion! Congrats Zsinj and everyone
involved!

Dark Prince of
the Guild (Trench)
The Bounty Hunters Guild (BHG)
CURRENT ROSTER COUNT: 442
Sirs,
The largest piece of news this week, one that has just come in to me, is, from
one perspective, quite unfortunate. Our distinguished Overseer, Darth Shadow,
after a fairly short (around one year) but incredibly prolific career, has
decided to retire from active service.
Part of his reason for retiring is real-life issues, which from time to time
afflict us all. The man has a family, you see.
But another part is that, in this short time, DS feels genuinely that he has
accomplished what he set out to do: bring the roleplaying world in the BHG to
the point he believed it ought to reach, and leave his lasting mark on the BHG.
Surely it would be universally held among his comrades that he has done this.
DS's work turned a fairly minor portion of the BHG and one that has seen ups and
downs in its importance into a vital part of this subgroup; now it could not
slip back into oblivion without everybody noticing.
In fact, his work was so good, and he gave so much of himself, that I approved a
new Core Commission position be created for the job.
Now we face the true test: to see if the flame can keep burning so brightly in
the hands of another.
Fortunately, his successor, Nindo Flast, is eminently qualified and I expect
that he will be no less a boon to the BHG. And yet it will be difficult to equal
DS's impact, much less surpass it. But in my years here I have found that, time
and again, great ones rise and surprise us all with their work.
The issue of the Chief position has also been under much discussion as of late.
It has been one of my stated aims to address that position specifically, for I
believe it to be the most important position in the BHG. We are currently
developing plans to address some of the issues with the position and will
present them shortly.
Furthermore, there are a number of not insignificant changes coming to the
Shipyards and to certain other activities in the BHG, particularly those where a
lot of credits can be at stake, about which there will be more to tell shortly.
Respectfully submitted,
Dark Prince Trench

unless you�re a BUDR or above though).
2. INTORG Recruitment Season
INTORG is looking for new members. You can find my initial
requirements here �

Of course INTORG is elite and we�re very fussy � so even if you
meet the requirements you may not get in. But if you�ve been a good loyal member
of the EH you never know�
3. Academy of Tactics
Yes, we still have problems with test grading - When our
previous TTDR left under unfortunate circumstances a lot of uncompleted
paperwork was left for her successor to complete. VA Raith is working his way
through all this, but naturally it is taking some time. If you have submitted
the General test to the AoT and have yet to receive a response, please email me
and I will arrange your placement within a Bureau.
4. Open UBIQ Positions - Applications are NOT being taken at this time...
Currently both ExDIR and SPC lie vacant. I'm going to hold off
for a few weeks until I appoint a new ExDIR (a chance for those interested to
impress me). For the time being there will be no SPC as I feel the BUDR of
Plexus is coping very well, rendering the position unnecessary.

Unfortunately, MoE Orzon has had to take an indefinite leave for the same
reason... hopefully, he will be able to return soon. :)
-Since the vacancy of MoO, I have appointed a new one. He is an experienced
Directorate officer, a former DGMF, who has just come out of retirement to aid
us in rebuilding our SubGroup and pushing it to new heights. Please welcome High
Marshall Walker Slain to the Ministry Council as Minister of Operations.
-The DG Naval Strategy and Tactics Simulation appears to be moving smoothly. I'm
hoping to hear more about that soon. :)
-Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the Colonial Branch... I have seen
e-mails from two Governors-General and the System Moff, but that is all. Yes,
there is a competition running, but I see no indications that
anyone has participated. People are reluctant to play SWGB without a ladder of
some sort... it's not necessary to have a ladder to play! The whole point of the
Directorate is to meet people and have fun, but you can't do that if you're
waiting to be spoon-fed everything.

Chancellor of

Imperial Senate Report #24
6/6/03
� News �
I�ll start off the same way I always do: this week has been very productive. Orv
has informed me of his return as Minister of Communication, although it�s
unofficial at the moment. We�re essentially finished with �Planetary Issues�,
though we�re working out a section of the �Pending legislation� to display the
outcome of that legislation (i.e. what effect it had on the planet, EH or
Senate). Orv is currently working on an e-mail system that will automatically
send messages to a delegate that gets accepted into a planet delegation as a
Senator, a delegate who gets accepted to a planet as a Representative, and a
delegate who gets moved to a new position on a planetary delegation. I�ll be
getting the bodies of those e-mails to him tomorrow morning, and I hope to also
start on the Senate Communiqu� and planetary message board tomorrow.
For those of you that weren�t familiar with the old database, Orv had created a
convenient little message system between Senators. It�ll probably be duplicated
in the new database, only with official headers and signatures that�ll
automatically display the needed information. I wouldn�t like to see it being
used as casually as before, but those messages will remain private.
The Senate Communiqu�, however, is between planetary
delegations, and those can be monitored by either the Minister of State or me.
It�s intended for fictional use, bill coordination, or to discuss various
planetary issues. Messages such as �Hiran declares war on Aurora Prime� will
likely be deleted and the responsible Senator removed. Only Senator admin will
be able to send messages on the Communiqu�, but since messages can also be sent
to Party leadership and High Council offices, the respective individuals will
likely have similar systems to respond (or they�ll simply receive it on their
normal messaging system). I�ll have to discuss that with Orv, though.
Those of you who have access to the database will notice that there�re changes
to it almost every day. I have a new planetary issue in there that might be of
some interest, and a new planetary image of Hiran that I believe was created by
Admiral Patel. I hope to get the same quality images for all represented
planets, but I�m still awaiting a response from Pri with regards to that. I
should also note that the planetary profile seems rather messy�it won�t look
like this when the database is released. It�s also possible that we might change
the design template that it�s currently being displayed on. I�ve told all of you
about the consoles�that they aren�t finished, hence the dotted lines. The
content of the site, however, will remain relatively unchanged.
On a final note, I�m in need of some good writers. As M:EDU I never got anyone
interested in the �Planetary Analysis Records�, but now I really want them (also
the planetary synopses that will be displayed in the planetary profile). I have
Kathel�s written and I�ve begun on Hiran, but that still leaves eight planets.
If you�re interested, e-mail me or IM me, and I�ll show you the format (which
should still be on the Senate message board) and Kathel�s full planetary
analysis record. The synopses for Kathel and Hiran are also on the database if
I�ve given you the URL.

� Competitions �
Senate Theme Song!
That�s right, I�ve finally decided to have an official Senate theme song! It�s
kind of self explanatory, but there will be several categories of submission:
humorous, official, and Star Wars (existing SW music by John Williams). You may
submit an unlimited amount of songs to each category. However, be sure I give
you confirmation after each one so my e-mail account doesn�t get run out of
storage capacity. Give credit to the artist/composer.
Official notice is below:
The Senate needs a theme song! The competition will last 1 month (5/9 - 6/9),
and all submissions are to be sent to me (
chs@emperorshammer.org ), and DCH
Blackblade ( sendakkon@yahoo.com )
There are no limitations on submissions, and the top 3 will be awarded the
following:
1st Place: Adamantine Seal w/ Platinum Ribbon [AS-PR]
2nd Place: Adamantine Seal w/ Gold Ribbon [AS-GR]
3rd Place: Adamantine Seal w/ Silver Ribbon [AS-SR]
Note that there aren�t placements for each category. The official Senate theme
song will be given first place and the other two, regardless of the category
they fall under, will be chosen based on how much we liked them.
� Additional �
Next week the High Council should be full (because I have two desirable
applicants for both M:EDU and M:STA), so I�m making the deadline for any other
applications on Sunday because I want to begin working with them.
That�s all for this week.

Plans from the New Lord
Ambassador: 06.07.03
As Emailed From:
Lord Ambassador
(RA Destavol)
EH Advanced Guard
<SALUTE>
Greetings to both of you.
Today I was appointed as the new Lord Ambassador for the Emperor's Hammer. You
have no idea how much this means to me. I never though when I first joined the
Emperor's Hammer I would make it to any for of Admiral. I promise you both that
the AG will continue moving forward and that you both will be updated on all of
the changes/comps etc. Now for my plans. Firstly I am going to run an AWOL
check. I know of a few people who are not doing there job's in the AG. Should
they report in to the AWOL check they have 2 weeks to show me that they want to
remain active in the AG. If they fail to do so I will request a transfer to
reserves for them. I hate AWOL'ing people, but I love the AG to much. Now once I
get the AWOL check over I have a feeling that the roster may be down 2 or 3
people. So I will let people know that x number of jobs have opened in the AG.
Once I get applications in I will review them closely, go over the HCI site and
make sure they are clean. While I am doing all of this I will be visiting each
club personally to inform them that I am the new LA and also to see what I could
do as far as setting up comps. My first comp will be with the FES as requested.
Also I will be assigning each member to his/her own club/s to keep alliances
strong. Now I have chosen a new Magister Equitum. How ever he is a TIE Corps
Commander. So I have e-mailed him letting him know that he is my choice for MAG
and to take his time on choosing either his squadron or the job as MAG. He has
no record on the HCI docket. So I hope both of you will approve him. Well these
are just the beginning changes I have for now. There will be more, and you will
both will be informed on each one of them. Any rejections to the following
changes or ideas to make them better PLEASE reply and tell me. I am wanting to
do what is best for every one. Once again thanks for giving me this job. It is
truly a dream come true. I hope my work as LA will be enough to pay you back.
In service to the Empire

Applications Open for Logistics Officer:
05.31.03
As Submitted From:
Fleet
Commander (GA Ronin)
Logistics Office
(URL to be updated soon...!)
Position Description:
The Logistics
Officer (LO) handles distribution of important Fleet Communiqu�s to the Members
of the Emperor's Hammer. In addition, the LO acts as Chief Archivist for
the EH and is responsible for maintaining duplicate copies of important Clubs
files, newsletters, manuals, etc. As chief archivist for the Fleet, the LO is
responsible for hosting/posting the Newsletters.
Unfortunately, we have not heard from
AD Tron in a few months.
Considering that he is currently stationed in Iraq, and most likely will not be
returning to his EH duties soon, I am forced to now open the position of
Logistics Officer (LO/CS-11) for applications.
However, considering AD Tron's dedicated service to not only the
EH but also the US military, he will be guaranteed an honored position in the EH
upon his return.
Successful candidates must meet the following criteria:
Selection Criteria - Essential
-
Be capable of hosting a STABLE mirror WWW site for archiving
all important, historical EH files (including NLs, manuals, files, etc.).
This includes 100-200 MBs of EH related files, which can be expected to grow
with time.
-
Develop/maintain an interface/database website (i.e. EH
Library or EH Codex) to access all of these files and archives.
-
Prepare a respectful and creative EH Memorium
WWW site linked to the Logistics Office WWW site and EH Domain which presents
those of us that have passed away.
-
Have the EH Rank of Rear Admiral or higher.
-
Been a Member of the EH (any Subgroup) in good standing
for 1+ years.
-
Good written communication skills
-
An acceptable level of presence in online media such as IRC,
message boards, etc.
-
Fast Email response time
-
The ability to work with a wide range of EH personnel,
including the Executive Officer
-
The ability to work to extreme deadlines
Immediate duties for the successful candidate will include the
updating of the EH Codex and other historical archives, as well as the
acquisition of webspace to host the various files from.
You must address each criteria with supporting evidence. Simply saying
"Yes, I can do that" will not be enough. Include specific examples of your
experience. You should meet at least the essential criteria to be
considered for the position. You will be expected to perform the core
duties as listed and if you are unwilling to perform them, don't waste time by
applying. You must include at least three (3) references. At least
one must be a current or former superior (preferably current). Ensure you have
their permission first. If it is found out that you did not gain
permission, this will reflect upon your application in a negative light.
Applications should be sent to the Fleet Commander (
garonin@aol.com ) and Executive Officer (
jpboyce@indigo.net.au ) with the
subject "Application for Logistics Officer".

[20:40] <`Badlan> I mean, absolute Power Corrupts absolutely. Look what happened
to Hitler, Mussolini... Kawolski >:P
Slow week, but I can't complain after all. My RL gave me some rest, and I am
solving all of my troubles now. It keeps getting better and better everyday, so
I am happy. I have exam in two weeks, so I guess I will have to start learning.
Good thing is this exams is pretty easy, so I won't have any problems with it.
This means I will do more EH work.
Unfortunately, my RL things limit my EH time. I do all of my
core duties in timely manner, but I don't have time to do any extra work. That's
not good. Thanks to great assistance of my Coordinators, we have constant flow
of new battles and missions. That's good and I am pleased. Two of my TCCs, are
doing updates for their platforms so number of bugs should decrease :) That's
good.
On the other things, I did very nice check. Right now, HA
Striker is our best guy, with 52 TAC reports. So far I have 39 reports written.
Not bad. And soon we will celebrate 100th TAC report :) Plus many more
celebrations, I will mention in 100th report :) Little anniversary, don't you
thing? :)

RogueWing agreed to send me weekly stats. So I guess he will do it next week:

XvT Advanced Mission Creation (XTM/2) - 109 graduates
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAC3K countdown!
Unfortunately, no new stuff this week :( We need only 82 to reach TAC3K! Good
work Tactical Staff, keep it up!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission Creation Corner
Some briefing tips from our very own, Choosh:
There is a maximum size for briefing map tags in XvT, about 32 characters
(around horizontal size of the blanks under the 'strings' tab), that if you
exceed, XvT will crash
The XvTED briefing window has slightly different dimensions than
in XvT, so if something is on the edge, it might not be in the briefing window
The size of the Briefing text box is much bigger in XvTED than in XvT. One full
line of text in XvTED is about the longest a text can get in a XvT briefing
You can delete just one tag in a briefing instead of all tags by placing a blank
tag of the same numeral. (ex. Tag #1 " " will overwrite Tag #1 "hello"
outside of X coordinates -40 or +40, there are no horizontal lines
Oath of Loyalty
Competition starts in few days (1st June), so keep your battles ready and pants
on :P
Tactical Office Person of the Week:
This week I've selected Carl Lost as Person of the Week. As recommended by

Carl Lost (surprise, surprise) :P Another week of quality correcting and

Flight Office
Welcome all to this week's report from the Flight Office...
My apologies for the lack of a report last week.
- News -
Promotions and Awards
The past two weeks saw a number of promotions and awards, so to recap:
Admiral Proton, Commodore of the SSSD Sovereign, was awarded the
Imperial Cross in recognition of his work throughout his long and successful
career.
My Command Attach�, Admiral Cyric, received his due recognition
with a promotion to Fleet Admiral, only the second CA to ever achieve this rank.
We had some resignations - LC Shadd, GN Drake and COL Aeishline
all resigned from their Wing Commader positions. We welcomed LC Wysseri, May
Cray Mikalen and LC Thorn to the Flag Staff. VA Wil Striker also resigned from
his position as Intrepid Commodore. I did promise a brief explanation about
this. Basically, Wil and AD Darksaber, the ASF BGCOM, disagreed with how the
other conducted their command. Myself and FA Cyric spent significant time
looking into the matter, contacting people, reading through old emails. At the
end I decided that neither was guilty of dereliction, but their attitude towards
each other wasn't what one would expect from the Flag Officer. Wil didn't like
this, decided he couldn't work with DS and quit. So there. COL Frodo March, a
previous Wing Commander, has been appointed as the new Intrepid Commodore and
promoted to Rear Admiral.
Rear Admiral Charles "Demos" Spencer resigned from his position
as Avenger Commodore this morning. He's been called up for military service and
so no longer has the free time his duties require. We hope he returns to us
soon.
Myself and VA Khaen will be taking applications for a new COM,
but hold off on sending anything until I post the requirements on the news page.
I'm pleased to be able to promote the Omega Commander, COL
Sasquatch, to the rank of General. This is the second time he's achieved this
rank and proves the quality of his leadership.
BGCOM & COM vs WC Competition
The Flags held a small flying competition between themselves recently, the BGCOM
& COMs teamed against the WCs. The competition was hosted by WO/AD Pel, and he's
sent me the results:
TIE Victor: MAJ TK-2107
XvT Victor: RA Khadgar
XWA Victor: MAJ TK-2107
BGCOMs & COMs: 483.5 total
WCs: 323 total.
Congratulations to RA Khadgar and MAJ TK-2107 and also to the BGCOMs & COMs for
showing that old folk can still fly :P
I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but that's all for this week.
Respectfully,
High Admiral Priyum

INTERNET OFFICE REPORT #93
May 30 , 2003
Internet Office News
This week, Alex Foley performed a lot more updates to My EHNet (
http://my.ehnet.org ). I would like to remind
EHers that My EHNet is ideal for setting as your home page, because of its
portal-style system.
Xander Drax created 2 brand new designs for SquadFirst. FA Leeson has converted
one design into a theme already, and I have released Drax's brand new
Infiltrator Wing theme. Along with this I released a minor update that fixes the
IW roster URL. The patch is included with the theme since it's not enough to
merit its own patch file. However, the Basic and Full Edition packages have been
updated to include the fix, in version 1.3.2.
Drako has been playing around and came up with another possible design for the
BHG site. We may or may not see this put into effect in the future, depending on
what Jernai decides, but it can always be changed around for other purposes as
well.
This week I rewrote the proposal about the massive IO-WO-FO-COMM-TO project,
which was a little confusing originally, but we've solidified the ideas and will
be passing the proposal on to GA Ronin this weekend for his approval. If he
approves the project, design ideas will continue and we will eventually be
asking for very strong PHP coders to volunteer to help out. So if you ever
wanted to learn PHP, now's the time to learn it and get good, because working
with all these CS offices is not only a fun experience, but rewarding as well.

Training Office Report #12
Admiral Keldorn Reporting � 31st May 2003
http://www.emperorshammer.ca/
<SALUTE>
TO Report #12 will be rather a rather short dispatch because I have been
incredibly busy with real-life work and the development of a design and then the
implementation of data for one of the Training Office projects; the �Academic
NeXus��
Replacing the Training Office site is the newly implemented �Academic NeXus�
(available at
www.emperorshammer.ca
), a �training portal� for the Emperor�s Hammer. It is very much in its
preliminary stages at the moment, with the aim to integrate IWATS, the TO site,
and the SA site well underway. There are further plans for its expansion and
development, but these are further down the list of projects and hence will not
be seen of for some time to come. Project Risorgimento (I can have fancy names
for projects too!) is progressing well; with only the Shadow Academy integration
still to follow. My utmost thanks are extended to Major Drax, Fleet Admiral
Leeson and Vice Admiral Reb Crush for helping me put my site designs into the
complicated HTML they required.
For her dedication and tireless work for the Training Office, Colonel Aeishline
Strathaven was awarded the Silver Star of the Empire.
The development of the TO competition �Apostasy� was set to one side this last
week in order to work on Project Risorgimento (I like saying that�) and hence
has not progressed as well as I was hoping. However, it is still planned for a
fairly soon beginning even if it has to undergo some minor revisions to do so.
A reminder to Officers in the TIE Corps; simple Combat Rating �Races� are not
being approved, and will not be for at-least the immediate future. This was a
decision the Operations Officer and I came to some time ago, and we both stand
by our reasoning for such a move. However, including a CR element in other
competitions is generally acceptable (whereby MP participation is recognized on
a points based system).
There was a minor mix-up on my end in regards to the approval of FCHG �Races�. I
was of the impression (I haven�t the slightest idea why) that FCHG was CR, and
visa-versa. This was my fault, and thus I know I denied at least 2 FCHG-based
competitions wrongly. They can be resubmitted without fear of denial (on that
basis, at-least).
The BitchX (BX) Professor position is still open for applications (details
below).
The Training Office is now accepting Course proposals. With stability now
re-established within IWATS, and a full compliment of IWATS Staff on the near
horizon, I have decided to re-open the Office to proposals of new Courses to be
included in the IWATS repertoire. There are a few restrictions upon proposals; I
am open to many diverse and innovative ideas, and would like to encourage the
proposal of specifically non-programming Courses at this time. The Courses under
consideration so far are:
Cascading Style Sheets.
Sound Processing/Editing.
General Multiplayer.
Star Wars Galaxies.
Advanced TIE Mission Design (TM/2)
BitchX (BX) 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 knowledge of the open-source IRC client, BitchX (
http://www.bitchx.org/ ).
- 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 �BitchX PROF Application�.

Operations Office Report
28th May, 2003.
Over the past few weeks one little thing has come to my attention, that award
authority or to put it bluntly, who can award what. Now, the Operations and
Training Manuals both indicate what a member holding a
certain position can award, and the database limits your options accordingly.
Yet there are two issues I wish to remind you of.
Firstly, even though you may be able to recommend a medal to your superior, it
is frowned upon. Contact their superior and let them know what you think. If you
don't know who to contact, email me and ask and I'll point you in the right
direction.
Secondly, for those holding Command Office Assistant positions. Your medal
awarding authority only extends to that of your primary (CMDR or whatever)
position, with the exception that should your Command Officer so require you to
award specific service medals you may do so. So, if the database gives you the
option to award something outside your primary position, do not do so unless
your CO has explicitly told you to do so.
Finally, for those of you holding Command Attach� positions. Command Attach�s
are only permitted to recommend service awards that pertain to their particular
office or others if specifically ordered to do so by their CO. You may only
recommend a merit award if your CO has authorized you to do so.
Now, onto other things
Uniforms - Much better. Nobody tried to tempt fate this week by using unapproved
items. However, I would like to remind you that if you must use a JPEG image,
don't edit and resave it more than once or twice as the image quality rapidly
deteriorates. One trend I have noticed is people playing with the saturation or
or winding up the contrast of the image. While not officially a no-no, I am not
exactly chuffed with the garish results, so be warned.
Medal recommendations - Quite a lot fewer this week, which is normal near the
end of the month. Besides the points already mentioned, I have little else to
add.
That's it for this week.
OPS/AD Khaine/CS-7/SSSD Sovereign.
Fleet Commander's Note:
AD Khaine has come up with a new medal design for the EH
Medal of Allegiance...
(Please see
Operations
Manual for medal descriptions)
"Medal of Allegiance - The Medal of Allegiance is awarded
to individuals who are not members of the Emperor's Hammer or it's subgroups and
who have provided a service to the Fleet."

Once again, I am pleased to report another very slow week. While the final
preparations are being completed on a case to be sent to the HCI, otherwise
neither my staff nor I have come across any major issues to bring to your

The only issue of note is continued vigilance on the message boards, both by
administrators and posters alike. The same rules apply on the MBs as do on
IRC, if not more so considering the more permanent nature of the posts, and the
inability of a poster to clarify him or herself with the immediacy IRC provides.

will be reviewing his site and see if it is in our best interests. ;)
I am still waiting on Hayden Christansen's (sp?) email addy from LA Darknyte.
Once I get that, I will be emailing him for an interview and possible Honorary

I am also trying to get a hold of Jeremy Bollock, aka Boba Fett (the older one

2003 Star Wars Disney Weekend #3
Actors Silas Carson (Ki-Adi-Mundi / Nute Gunray) and Mike Quinn (Nien Nunb) were
the special guests at the third of the 2003 Walt Disney World Star Wars Weekends
the Disney-MGM Studios theme park in Florida. Click here to enter our 2003 Star
Wars Disney Weekends picture gallery to catch a glimpse of the action.
Carson played a number of roles in The Phantom Menace including Nute Gunray, the
leader of the Nemoidian Trade Federation, Ki-Adi-Mundi, the "tall-headed" member
of the Jedi Council, and also the co-pilot on the ill-fated Republic Cruiser
that ferried the Jedi to their meeting with the Trade Federation at Naboo. Fans
were delighted to learn from Carson himself that he expects to return in Episode
III and will be going to Sydney, Australia in June.
Joining Carson this weekend is Mike Quinn, a performer from the classic trilogy.
As a young puppeteer, Quinn performed the memorable role of Nien Nunb, Lando
Calrissian's co-pilot aboard the Millennium Falcon in Return of the Jedi. Quinn
also assisted in the puppetry of Yoda, the Jedi Master, and Admiral Ackbar as
well. Quinn now works as a computer animator, and was part of the Attack of the
Clones crew.
As favorite Star Wars characters roam the park to entertain fans and sign
autographs, Young Jedi hopefuls test their lightsaber skills. Click above to
check out our growing gallery of images from the celebration.
The Star Wars events continue throughout the weekend, and resume for each of the
next three weekends for those looking to join in the fun.
Please take note of an important scheduling change regarding the weekend of May
30, 31 and June 1. Joining Silas Carson (Ki-Adi-Mundi / Nute Gunray) on that

young puppeteer, Quinn performed the memorable role of Nien Nunb, Lando
Calrissian's co-pilot aboard the Millennium Falcon in Return of the Jedi. Quinn

Retrospective: 2003 Star Wars Disney Weekend #2
The second of the 2003 Walt Disney World Star Wars Weekends was officially under
way at the Disney-MGM Studios theme park in Florida last weekend.
That weekend's special guests were Andy Secombe, the voice of Watto in The
Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, and Warwick Davis who played Wicket the
Ewok in Return of the Jedi and two television movies, portrayed several
characters in Phantom Menace and may be best known as Willow.
Activity in the Tatooine Trader gift shop continued to be brisk, with this

Collector's Summer Convention Approaching
by ROA CM Shay`la DuKahn Ludsorkim
For 25 years, many fans of Star Wars have made the galaxy far, far away they own
by collecting action figures, games, toys, models and other collectibles. This
summer *first-ever* Collector's Convention is approaching quickly, making it
less than two month away, and fans are already eager to attend to this
much-anticipated collectors conclave. This year, the Official Star Wars Fan Club
of Mexico who will celebrate the 25 years of Star Wars collecting devoted to the
hobby.
What's with the Collector's Convention anyway? Is it interesting to see toys?
Well, exposing collectibles wont be the only things to be done or seen there.
The convention is planning on building and displaying diaporamas, customized
figure workshops, auctions... there should also be a large dealer's room! But it
is not all. The fans will also learn, right from the people who worked on the
original line of toys at Kenner, the toy-making process and a special look
behind Lili-Ledy, Kenner's Mexican affiliate, is planned, not to mention a sneak
peak at the upcoming Clone Wars toy line presented by Hasbro Mexico. Fans should
also look forward for feature of exclusive collectibles, including a special
convention figure.
Collectors and fans from all around the world are expected to gather at the
Centro Banamex (Banamex Center), the Convention Center in Mexico City, for this
special week-end to discuss all aspects of their hobby with other people sharing
the same interest. Invitations were sent, adding up to all these fans, to the
people behind the toylines with representatives from Hasbro Inc., the original
Kenner Products and Lili-Ledy.
The tickets for the member of the Official Star Wars Fan Club in Mexico ran, in
presale, from February to March 21with the promotion 'Buy early and receive a
limited edition Fan Club pass'. The sale for all the non-Fan Club members began
March 24 and should run until June 27th. Tickets were not to be sold on-site but
to satisfy the demand, one-day tickets will be available at the convention. The
two-day ticket presale has had a great response from fans, although there still
are *limited supply* of tickets available.
"We are very excited about the response" said Julio Moreno, president of the
Mexican Star Wars Fan Club. "We have fans coming from all over the world and
they will be delighted with the activities surrounding the convention. There are
some great presentations and some very special collectibles available."
Very special collectibles indeed! A 'Special Collector's Award' will be offered
for the first time to honor the Star Wars Collectors and their Collectibles. An
Hasbro's Silver Boba Fett convention figure is planned to be sold during the
convention and are to be given to the two-day pass holders. Also, the Fan Club
is giving the chance to the Fans to prove they are the ultimate collectors or
have one of the coolest collectibles, inviting them to register by sending a

Toys R Us 4-Pack Exclusives
Coming soon to a Toys R Us near you are three new store-exclusive 3 3/4" scale
figure 4-pack sets from Hasbro:
Imperial Forces, The Battle of Hoth and Ultimate Bounty.
Here is the first glimpse of Hasbro's Imperial Forces 4-pack, scheduled for

and All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST) driver 3 3/4" scale figures. Also
included are a R4-19 computer maintenance and repair droid that services the

with a blaster rack, two Stormtrooper blasters, a mouse (MSE-6) droid, an
Imperial Tripod Cannon (Hoth E-Web Heavy Repeating Cannon) with generator
container and projectile.
Another Toys R Us store-exclusive from Hasbro is the The Battle of Hoth 4-pack
due out this Fall. The set includes 3 3/4" scale reissued figures of a POTF2
Tauntaun, POTF2 Luke Skywalker, POTF2 Hoth Leia, Hoth Chewbacca and an orange
and white R3 droid with a clear dome.
Collectors can also expect the Ultimate Bounty 3 3/4" scale figure 4-pack to
make its way to Toys R Us stores this Fall. The Ultimate Bounty set contains
reissued figures of Bossk, Boba Fett, Aurra Sing and IG-88. The set introduces a
new comic-influenced Swoop Bike as an added bonus.
Here are the pictures:

~* Games *~
New Jedi Academy Preview
www.ElecPlay.com has posted a preview of
Jedi Academy:
Although you play a Jedi, there will be more conventional weapons that have
appeared in the series before, such as the blaster rifle, Wookiee Bowcaster,
Imperial Repeater Rifle, and an Electro-Magnetic Pulse gun. Han Solo's DL-44
Heavy Blaster, first added to the series in Mysteries of the Sith, is back. So
is the Concussion Rifle, which we saw wielded by the Trandoshans way back in
Dark Forces.
Jedi Outcast had a sequence where you took over an AT-ST. Raven
will be including more vehicle sequences this time, including AT-STs again, and
Tauntauns, the biped creatures the Rebels rode on Hoth.
LucasArts says the game will feature twice as many locations as Jedi Outcast. At
E3 we saw what appeared to be the snow-blasted plains of Hoth. They did a great
job of conveying the chilly atmosphere--as the Jedi walked around, he raised his
arms to shield his face from the wind.
New JA Screens Shot
LucasArts has posted new screenshots mere minutes ago. Included among them are a
wampa holding a jedi, a shot of the interface, what appears to be a Kel Dor
Jedi, giving rise to the thought that is one of the new species, some lightsaber
combat, a sarlaac, and a wookiee. For those Chewie fans like myself, he does
bare a resemblance, but doesn't appear to be a playable character.

Rogue Squadron III to Be Bundled
Axl points out Hardware Zone for the latest news on an upcoming Star Wars game:
Nintendo of America has today confirmed that its recently released demo
disc--which contains playable demos and preview movies of upcoming games
including>Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, Viewtiful Joe, Soul Calibur II, and
Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike--will be given away free with new
GameCube consoles in North America.
"We wanted to showcase a few of the best, exclusive Nintendo GameCube games
coming out later this year and whet consumers' appetite for our ever-expanding
library."
Star Wars To Boost Failing Gamecube
Business Week Online is reporting on Nintendo's struggle for survival in the
console wars with a few exclusives: Metal Gear Solid 3 and Star Wars.
Here's a few paragraphs to get you started:
GameCube's disappointing debut is shooting holes in
Nintendo's bottom line. For the fiscal year, ended on Mar. 31, Nintendo's net
profit is expected to fall 38%, to $574 million, on a 10% decline in sales, to
$4.3 billion. Final results were slated to be released on May 22. Nintendo
President Satoru Iwata concedes that the year he has been in the job has been a
challenge. "But then, that's what I enjoy," says Iwata, 43, a former game
developer who joined Nintendo in 2000. "We need to feel a sense of crisis to
bring out the best in us."
That sense of crisis has led Iwata to rethink Nintendo's
business plan. Since taking over as president, he has moved to sharpen
Nintendo's lineup of titles, moving into the more rough-and-tumble content the
company once eschewed. The new version of Metal Gear Solid, developed
exclusively for Nintendo by Japanese gamemaker Konami Corp. and expected to be
released by yearend, is a first step. To maintain the momentum, Iwata has lined
up a Star Wars epic from Lucas Arts Entertainment Co., a futuristic F-Zero
car-racing game from Sega Corp., and dozens of other sports and action titles
that will push Nintendo's software lineup from the current 180 to 320 by
yearend.
But don't expect Nintendo to add too much blood and guts. Iwata says the company
will never depict Mario as a criminal, along the lines of Grand Theft Auto: Vice
City, a top-selling PS2 title that follows car-swiping crooks. "I'm not saying
others shouldn't make such games, but Nintendo isn't going to," he says.
Yet if Nintendo hopes to attract more of the boys and young men who are flocking
to PS2 and Xbox, Iwata needs to come up with a more thrilling lineup of sports
and adventure games, says HSBC Securities Japan Ltd. analyst Ben Wedmore.
"Nintendo has to give the market more of what it wants," Wedmore says. "Today's
11-year-olds aren't going to buy Mario."
Galaxies Consoles on Hold
GameSpot reports the status of Galaxies
for consoles:
LucasArts confirms that the previously
announced console versions of the Star Wars online RPG are currently on hold, as
all development efforts are focused on the PC launch.
At E3 2002, LucasArts announced that it planned to release
Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided,
its highly anticipated online RPG set in the Star Wars universe, for the Xbox
and PlayStation 2. However, mention of these versions was recently removed from
the publisher's Web page on the game, and LucasArts has confirmed for us that
these versions are currently on hold. In a brief statement, LucasArts said, "We
are currently focusing all of our efforts on the successful launch of the PC
version of Star Wars Galaxies."
The PC version of Star Wars Galaxies is currently in beta testing. LucasArts has
not yet announced an official release date.

Matthew Stover on Shatterpoint
The Official Site spoke with Matthew Stover about Shatterpoint. Here are some
highlights:
What I can tell you about the novel itself is this - it's not for kids. The
young adult stories are coming out from Scholastic. Shatterpoint is definitely
PG-13. No one under seventeen admitted without a parent or guardian?
Well, not exactly! But when I originally agreed to write a novel featuring Mace
Windu, I thought it was supposed to be a traditional Star Wars book. My initial
outline featured Mace being forced to team up with a dashing, cynical mercenary
and a strong-willed warrior woman to fight an unexpected threat to the Republic
coming out of Hutt space, complete with exotic aliens, fast starships, and a
funny droid for comedy relief.
But that wasn't what LucasBooks had in mind at all. They came back to me asking
for something darker and deeper, more psychological and focused on the horrors
of war. Literally, the phrase used was: "a Star Wars novel with the feel of All
Quiet on the Western Front." All Quiet is, of course, one the classics of world
literature. Talk about raising the bar. But I've never been one to back down
from a challenge. As Mace would say, "I don't have to win. All I have to do is
fight."

What will happen to unused Episode III concepts?
This question was asked to the 'Jedi Council' and here is what came out of it.
Q: In the previous Episodes, unused concepts were sometimes saved for future
films. What will happen to unused Episode III concepts since it's the last one?
A: I hope that there will be other outlets for the creativity and inspiration of
the Art Department. I'm personally hoping that there's some way, through books
or DVD or exhibits, for the fans to see the incredible amount of work and
creativity that goes with making a movie like this. George Lucas is unlike any
other when it comes to archiving and preserving the props and artwork of his
films; he really loves this stuff.
Introducing StarWars.com Hyperspace!
As copied from: www.starwars.com
Starwars.com is set to redefine the online Star Wars
experience with Hyperspace. It continues a tradition of innovation that began in
1996, when a Special Edition series, "Anatomy of a Dewback," pioneered
behind-the-scenes online video. In 1998, came the first premiere of a movie
trailer on the web with Episode I. Most recently, an award-winning web
documentary series and the George Lucas select photo series from Episode II
brought the unique community of fans ever deeper into the adventure, excitement
and creation of the Star Wars saga.
Now, in 2003, principal photography for Episode III is about
to begin, and starwars.com is looking to bring fans even closer to the action
than ever before. On June 10, visitors to the official Star Wars site will
discover a fresh, all-new look, designed to bring a wealth of Star Wars
entertainment to core and casual fan alike. The launch will also mark the debut
of the official Episode III section featuring new art, cast and crew updates,
and a continuation of starwars.com's unique brand of on-going coverage for the
final Star Wars film.
For Star Wars fans who want even more, Lucas Online is pleased to introduce
starwars.com Hyperspace, an extensive subscription service that presents
exclusive content, new features and a wealth of personalization options that are
available only to subscribers.
"Five years ago, we were the first entertainment site to premiere a trailer on
the Web, which set a new standard for the industry - and was the biggest
downloading event in history," said Jim Ward, Vice President of Marketing for
Lucasfilm Ltd. and head of Lucas Online. "What we're premiering on June 10 is
the ultimate Star Wars experience on the Web. We're using technology and
innovation to bring fans closer to the Star Wars universe and - more importantly
- to expand the definition of Internet entertainment."
"This is the content our biggest fans have been asking us for, and now we're
able to provide it to them while maintaining an overall site that's accessible
to all levels of Star Wars fans," Ward said. "No movie-themed entertainment site
has ever offered anything like this - but no film series has maintained such a
strong fan base for a quarter of a century the way that Star Wars has."
From June 5 to June 9, all visitors to starwars.com will be able to get a free

Greetings from the office of the Infiltrator Wing Commander!
A fine week for the Infiltrator Wing this has been. Improvements and
advancements to the whole wing from all perspectives. Every officer is doing
their part making the IW a better and stronger force!
About the weekly reports
A short notice to all IW personnel writing weekly reports. Please try to make
your reports short, informative and ergonomically designed. Nobody likes to read
(reads) pages after pages of pure text.
If you have larger amounts of news that you need to make available (i.e. weekly
list of IWTA course graduations, list of weekly medal awards) put the info on
your office website and make a note (and link) of it in your report.
IWCOM Recruiting competition
Although announced to start soon in the last IWCOM report, I have decided to
postpone it a bit since recruiting seems to be enforced actively on both IW
ships. Good work men!
IW COMBAT CENTER
There are always many active IW competitions, check them all out at the IW

<SALUTE>
Since Trow hasn't shown up last week, this report will double as the official CD
report, unless Trow comes back during the weekend.
VPX OFFICE NEWS:
-I promised you people an IBC CEO last week in the PREX Report,
but that never appeared, so without further delay, congratulations to Master
Warrant Officer Aiden "AbsoluteK" Cantor Karias, who has been
appointed to this position.
-In another news, a former member of CHC, SNR Loor, has
returned, and has been appointed by COM Glorick as the new DC. Congratulations!
-There have been some rumors about some changes in the structure
of the CD, and yes, there will be some changes. I believe the proposals have
been sent to GA Ronin and SA Astatine, but due to Trow's absence, I'm
unfortunately unable to give any heads-up on that.
-Last week I've been informed by VA Darknyte that there was an
incident with the rDB in which a Corporate Division Member was involved. Please,
behave yourself if you decide to go into rDB channels, if you are found
violating the EH AoW or Bylaws, you WILL be punished.

(Inc. advisors, reserves and trainees)
1. 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 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).
2. Academy of Tactics
Problems with test grading - When our previous TTDR left under unfortunate
circumstances a lot of uncompleted paperwork was left for her successor to
complete. VA Raith is working his way through all this, but naturally it is
taking some time. If you have submitted the General test to the AoT and have yet
to receive a response, please email me and I will arrange your placement within
a Bureau.
3. Open UBIQ Positions - Applications are NOT being taken at this time...
Currently both ExDIR and SPC lie vacant. I'm going to hold off for a few weeks
until I appoint a new ExDIR (a chance for those interested to impress me). For
the time being there will be no SPC as I feel the BUDR of Plexus is coping very
well, rendering the position unnecessary.
4. New Orders
Most of the agents within the Division should have received new orders in the
past week and there are plenty more assignments lying around for those who wish
to complete them. If you don�t have anything to do, get in touch with me at
sdir@ehintel.org and I�ll sort you out
with plenty of work�
5. Monthly Roster Dump
Will be sent to the FC and XO in a separate email in a couple of minutes�

-Yikes. Just when I thought my problems with trojans and stuff kicking me
offline were over, RL decided to hit me with a *very* bad week. This is
basically the first time I've been online since my last report... apologies, if
I'd had any way of notifying you guys, I'd have said something.
-The new version of the Governor's Dispatches has been given approval by GA
Ronin. The manual will be sent to Monsh to be posted on the web site.
-AD Lammoth has started work on the new Systems Manual. From what he's told me,
this will be coded in XHTML and ultimately in Flash. I'm really looking forward
to seeing his work. :)
-MoO Talra has resigned under rather sudden circumstances. Thus, I'm once again
taking applications for Minister of Operations.

CHS Report #23: 05.31.03
As Emailed From:
Chancellor of
the Senate (Kallath)
Imperial Senate
Imperial Senate Report
� News �
We�ve had a lot done on the database this week. I�ve shown some of you (Karva,
Dakkon, Siterath) the planetary profile, and now the admin for planetary issues
is almost completed. Today I�ll be starting on the layouts for the Legislation
Docket, member profiles, the High Council Profile, Party Profiles, and then the
rosters are pretty straightforward. Note that there�s a difference between a
profile and roster. For example, the Party Profile will list all the party
members, the Party Leader, the Deputy Party Leader, the Party Whip, it�ll have
it�s own little message board (like the planetary profiles), it�s own news
section, a record of proposals, etc. Essentially, it�s a miniature party website
that has database admin. The High Council profile will be similar in
construction, although obviously it�ll be more administrative. I�m very excited
about how it�ll all turn out, especially since it�s being done relatively
quickly. If you want to see the database progress, just IM me or PM me on IRC.
I�d be glad to show any Senate members.
My other priority right now is to fill High Council positions. The Imperial
University is on hold at the moment, so Minister of Education would be less a
priority to me than Minister of State, which is needed for Planetary Issues. I
highly encourage anyone to apply�I don�t care who you are. I�ve had no
applications for M:STA, and I don�t know why since it is by far the most
interesting position the Senate has ever had. Minister of Communications isn�t
direly necessary at the moment, though I�ve had some people who�re interested. I
suppose I�ll just have to ask people to apply.
I�ve decided to rework the procedural exam (which will be released the day the
database is released). It�ll be divided into two exams now: one is for
Representatives, Party Whips, and Deputy Party Leaders, and the other will be
for Senators, Party Leaders, and High Councilors. The first, SP/1, will cover
Planetary Issues, Party-level activities, an introduction to Senate Issues, and
basic leadership information (how to obtain Senatorship or how to climb the
Party ladder). It�ll also explain low-level Senate competitions, such as �Design
a graphic!�, �Senate motto competition!�, etc., and then provide information on
how to participate in large-scale Senate-wide competitions that have a run-on
phase, a fiction/graphics phase, a legislation phase, and a voting phase. Of
course, as explained in the manual, Representatives won�t be permitted to vote
on Senate Issues, but they�re free to participate in the other phases so long as
they�re within their positional boundaries.
SP/2 will provide all necessary information for Senate Issues, which are great
deal more complicated than Planetary Issues. In order for a Representative to
achieve Candidate (the title before achieving Senatorship), he�ll have to pass
SP/2, and later be approved by the Minister of State. The exam will also cover
Party management, delegation management (approving Representative applicants),
bill proposal, voting, legislative records, coordinated party proposals, etc.
It�ll also briefly explain Global Dispatches, which is just a tool for the CHS
and M:STA to see if the Senators are active or not.
The exam would include actual pictures of the database for a better
understanding of what I�d be talking about. i.e., if I were talking about Global
Dispatches and was talking about how to submit a Global Dispatch, the exam would
include a picture of that window with a little arrow to the �submit� button,
even though I wouldn�t include obvious steps like that. I think it makes the
exam a bit more dynamic and I was already doing that with Senate issues (the IIP
organization thing). It�ll simply be in a picture displayed on the database now.
Anyway, that�s all for this week. I hope to have a great deal more done on the
database by next Friday. In fact, I can assure you we�ll have a great deal more
done.

Senate Theme Song!
That�s right, I�ve finally decided to have an official Senate theme song! It�s
kind of self explanatory, but there will be several categories of submission:
humorous, official, and Star Wars (existing SW music by John Williams). You may
submit an unlimited amount of songs to each category. However, be sure I give
you confirmation after each one so my e-mail account doesn�t get run out of
storage capacity. Give credit to the artist/composer.
Official notice is below:
The Senate needs a theme song! The competition will last 1 month (5/9 - 6/9),
and all submissions are to be sent to me (
chs@emperorshammer.org ), and DCH
Blackblade ( sendakkon@yahoo.com )
There are no limitations on submissions, and the top 3 will be awarded the
following:
1st Place: Adamantine Seal w/ Platinum Ribbon [AS-PR]
2nd Place: Adamantine Seal w/ Gold Ribbon [AS-GR]
3rd Place: Adamantine Seal w/ Silver Ribbon [AS-SR]
Note that there aren�t placements for each category. The official Senate theme
song will be given first place and the other two, regardless of the category
they fall under, will be chosen based on how much we liked them.

Vice Admiral Darknyte
Whee, here we go lucky number 13! Everyone be careful as you read this, let's
not have any unlucky calamities befall any of my loyal (and small) fan base of
readers who wait in anticipation for Friday to come around just to read my
report and have their week become complete...what? Bite your tongue! It could
happen...really...I'm sure there is at least one fan of my reports out there....prolly
all alone in a dorm....in the dark....hasn't left his room in days.....yeah!
That's my core audience, and I appreciate you reading my reports, Manesh! (Just
joking folks, Manesh jabs me on IRC about LA all the time, it was just time to
get him back when I knew he couldn't defend himself ... yeah, I'm that evil :P)
Ok, now that my required first silly paragraph is out of the way, let's dig in
and get started. Not a great deal to report this week, but I'll do my best to
puff up the slight happenings of the AG to make it appear like more than it is!
This week was the first week of the new AG rule of "work or get slapped by the
LA!!". All in all, the response was rather "blah". A couple of people did their
assignments, another reported in with a good reason not to do his, and a few
more just did squat. Remember, I have my eyes on you...I'm making a list, and
I'm checking it twice...
I've gotten some responses from the diplomats from their assigned clubs with
updated roster counts, email addresses, and the like. I will be compiling it all
into one list sometime tomorrow and mailing it to the GA for use to update our
allies list. To those of you who did your assignments, good job! To those who
didn't....well, let's just say I have a big stick and I'm looking for you as we
speak....
The only other newsworthy item this week is that the Magister Equitem, Destavol
Gin has decided to take a short vacation. Dest is on leave for this week, so any
matters you'd mail him on need to be CC'd to me so I can take care of them for
him...though, you should CC me anytime you mail Dest on AG stuff anyway :P
That's about it this week, as I said not a great deal was going on. I'll get
that updated list out ASAP to the GA.
