HA Striker
Resigns as Tactical Officer: 11.17.02
As Emailed From:
Former Tactical Officer (FA Striker)
Tactical Office
Greetings,
It has been several months now my performance as Tactical Officer has been
degraded due to a new time-consuming RL job; I guess time has also lessened my
enthusiasm to assume the position, with nearly 20 months overall of service as
Tactical Officer, and three years and half of full time positions within the
Tactical Office. During all these prosperous years, I have participated and
directed all the changes I was willing to be done within this office, changes
which have transformed an office dependent of the TAC's personality into an
organized structure where team work has become a key word. I am proud of what
has become the Tactical Office, but I guess it is becoming time to see some
fresh blood at the head of this office, assuming also the fact that I can hardly
assume the associated work load with my current situation.
I had planned to resign in past September when my new job began,
with the eh.net server problem I delayed this decision to wait for the database
to be fully operational, to not bring additional mess to an already troubled
situation. The BSF system and associated FTP services are nearly fully working,
and I will leave my position of Tactical Officer as soon as everything is
working, and as soon as you have selected the future Tactical Officer. I do not
plan to leave the EH, I guess I will continue my career in a less time-demanding
position, where my competences and expertise can help the EH...
In the service of the Hammer,

TIE Corps
Mention in Polish Gaming Magazine (CD Action): 11.17.02

High Admiral Keiran Idanian, Sir.
I just thought you, Sir would like want to know, that there is a new TIE Corps
recruitment note in the Polish computer games magazine CD- ction. It's in "Top
100 PC games" book added to the magazine (12/02), under TIE Fighter label. I
don't know if it's able to gain the EH new Polish recruits, but CD-Action is
very popular here (it sells 120 thousands copies a month at least), so there's
quite a chance it really does.
cdaction111702.pdf (1.16 MB)
A rough translation of the note is as follows:
"Join the Fleet!
The Emperor's Hammer club has been found in 1994 in the United States. Early on
it's been a meeting point for AOL users who, after completing all seven TIE
Fighter battles (it's been before Defender of the Empire add-on), were looking
for custom-made ones, but it's become a game fans' club quickly. It followed the
military structure and consistently extended by its founder, William "Ronin"
Call, it became eventually what is it now - the biggest association of X-Wing
games fans over the Internet!
It's hard to indicate the one deciding factor, why over 6 thousand people
scattered across all world is proud of being part of the Emperor's Hammer.
Undoubtedly it may be over 300 custom-made battles and countless amount of free
missions for X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter and X-Wing Alliance.
It's also important, that the club makes the opportunity to live an Imperial
Fleet officer life and drive his virtual career. But probably its most important
facet is an unique climate made by hundreds people coming from different
countries and cultures, bound together with their enthusiasm for LucasArts space
sims and... good fun. Don�t wait any moment longer, then!
Type in
www.emperorshammer.net into your browser and join us! The Empire needs you!"
You, Sir, will find the small, compressed .pdf of the page with the note
attached. I'm also able to deliver a better, but larger (~1,2 MB) version if
requested.
I apologize for any grammar errors I made. Feel free to polish the text before
its publication on emperorshammer.org site.

As Copied from
www.StarWars.com:
"Chronicling the Clone Wars - November 15, 2002
'This is just the beginning!' -- Count Dooku
For 25 years, Star Wars fans have wondered about the Clone Wars. With the
release of Episode II, audiences witnessed the events that started that epic
conflict, and now want to know what happens next.
Starting next year, LucasBooks is chronicling these historic events through a
publishing program that covers the span of the Clone Wars. Through comics, adult
novels, middle grade fiction, audio books, short stories and more, the story of
the Clone Wars will unfold.
Clone War titles will be identified on the cover (for
example, "A Clone Wars Novel"), marking it as one piece in a much larger puzzle.
Some stories will describe the victories, losses and stalemates of the epic war.
Others will use the Clone Wars as a dramatic backdrop to tell different types of
tales. The publishing program will give fans a clearer picture of what has
transpired between Episodes II and III in time for the next Star Wars film in
2005.
The ongoing Star Wars: Republic series from Dark Horse Comics
will focus its attention on the Clone Wars, starting with the double-sized issue
#50. Dark Horse will also release Star Wars: Jedi next year, four one-shots
detailing the heroic efforts of key Jedi Knights during the war.
Del Rey Books will begin its Clone War coverage with Star
Wars: Shatterpoint, a hardcover novel featuring Mace Windu by Matthew Stover due
out in 2003. More Clone War novels and audio books are planned in both paperback
and hardcover to be released over the next few years. Just announced is author
William Dietz, who will be writing a stand-alone Clone War paperback novel due
out in 2004.
Scholastic Inc. will continue to explore Boba Fett's youth in
its series of middle grade books. Already, the first two hardcover books of the
series take place in the days after the Battle of Geonosis. These two books (The
Fight to Survive and Crossfire) will be released in paperback as part of the
Clone Wars series, and will continue with the third book, Maze of Deception by
Elizabeth Hand.
The Star Wars Insider will not only carry original short fiction tied into the
various Clone War titles, but will also see the return of HoloNet News, now as a
printed edition, with includes the official news the Republic and Separatist
governments want you to read.
LucasArts Entertainment Company has already chronicled the earliest events of
the war with their recently released Star Wars: The Clone Wars video game.
Starting with the Battle of Geonosis, this game moves to other battlefields on
distant worlds. Future titles are in the works with more Clone War action.
And this is only the beginning. These original and epic tales will not only tell
of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Count Dooku, but also introduce new
heroes, villains, locations and technology that played pivotal roles in the
Clone Wars.
Keep checking starwars.com for more developments in this exciting new program."

I'm writing you because I just got the SW Homing Beacon and I

1) With the CSMA being able to do what it wants, new course outlines are
flooding in. Proposals include a sandtrooper, spacetrooper, and storm commando
(special missions) for troop types, and outlines for a medic course (written by
a guy who knows the stuff). Of course, the medic courses will be accompanied by
disclaimers as to their suitability to real world application.
2) An interesting total conversion project for Star Wars: Rebellion is being
done by SPL Nemesis Karrde. The conversion of this empire-building game will
feature HF characters and equipment.
3) Another total conversion is being done for the new FPS, Unreal Tournament
2003. It is called "Troopers: Rise of the Rebellion" and allows play as either
Empirial or Rebel troopers. What is very nice about this conversion is that it
is almost tailor-made for the HF, featuring sandtroopers (among other troop
types), which is what our own armor is based on. It would take very little
tweaking to allow for rank and position-specific player skins in the game! The
URL is:
http://www.ut2003troopers.co.uk/
This means that our own conversion, UT:EH, is likely to end and
instead I will modify and add on to "Troopers..." unless there is a loud enough
chorus for continued development of UT:EH. The real difference between the two
is that "Troopers..." is for UT2003 and UT:EH is for UT.
4) Lots more interesting stuff next week!

Greetings from the office of the Infiltrator Wing Commander!
A very busy week behind us. To cut the report as short as possible, I will get
right down to business.
The Infiltrator Wing off duty pilot jackets have been fully completed thanks to
the efforts of the Lt. Colonel Death of TIE Corps who has volunteered to
complete this project for the Infiltrator Wing. The IW thanks you for your
support and assistance as well as continuous support, because Lt. Death will
continue to produce the IW off-duty pilot jackets by order. To get your pilot
jacket just send the request email to LC Death at:
Death-Privat@gmx.net. Thanks also go
to the IWOC as well as other members of the IW Command Staff for their
assistance with the creation of the jackets.
For his exemplary initiative and assistance to the Infiltrator Wing, LC Death is
hereby awarded the first ever IW Medal of Support! The IW salutes you!
Medal of Support (MoS)
This medal is awarded to any person which contributes significantly to the
Infiltrator Wing in any way but is not a member of the Infiltrator Wing. This
medal is awarded by the IWCOM only.
Another grand IW project is nearing completion. The Infiltrator Wing Escort
Division is just about ready to be opened. Escort Division Commander has already
been appointed and it is Line Admiral Astix, the IWSO. Congrats!
Were you ever a member of the Naval Corps? Ever wanted to fly your own corvette,
gunship, frigate or dreadnaught again? Well, the opportunity is here again- this
time in the Infiltrator Wing. For those of you that have joined since the Naval
Corps were disbanded, the NC provided every Emperor's Hammer member with the
chance to command their own capital-class ship, ranging from Corvettes and
Gunships to Interdictors and Strike Cruisers.
On December 1st, the Infiltrator Wing will see the opening of the Escort
Division, a branch of the IW Strike Fleet that will once again allow all
Emperors Hammer members to fly Corvettes, Gunships and Frigates against the
scourge against Law and Order that is the New Republic. Members will become an
integral part of the Infiltrator Wing's strike fleet, providing cover and
additional firepower in support of some of the best heavy cruisers in the
galaxy. You will work in squadrons of five officers, with four squadrons in each
wing.
Activities in the Escort Division will include multiplayer CapShip skirmishes
and mel�e, wargaming, fiction, single player CapShip free missions and battles,
graphics creation, run-ons and many others. The small squadrons and wings mean
that closer ties can be formed between Commanders and their pilots, and Escort
Division Commander and Wing Commander positions will form the ideal
experience-gaining position for any budding Ozzel or Piett.
Some of you may remember the Infiltrator Wing Support Division. This is not
that. This is not even a rehash of the Support Division. This is a completely
new art of war. Be part of it.
Join today at
www.infiltrator-wing.org and transfer into the Escort Division on 1st
December.
As far as the current state of the activity in the Infiltrator Wing is
concerned, it is a bit low. With that in mind a series of competitions is being
designed and the IWCS are hard at work to think up and organize interesting new
competition that will give the IW pilots the pleasure of
flying for the Empire.
Presently, the IW WARGAMES competition has begun, all details can be located at:
http://fullspeed.to/wargames
Finally, again, good news... it is time to select this months' Echelon Guardian!
This month, the honor goes to Commander Darkshadow of Enforcer squadron. He has
been nominated for this honor by the IWOC himself and has been condemned for
continuous activity, sportsmanship, participation & good conduct in the IW
Melee.
Congratulations commander wear the EG with pride for it is the honor few ever
receive.
Echelon Guardian (EG)
Each month, the Infiltrator Wing Commander selects a pilot whom they feel is an
example of exemplary service and dedication to the IW. That pilot is then named
Echelon Guardian for that month. A new pilot is generally picked after each
month, but former Echelon Guardians are still permitted to wear the ribbon (not
the full medal) as a reminder. This medal is awarded by the IWCOM.
Respectfully submitted,
Admiral NiksaVel,
Infiltrator Wing Commander

Sir. Having found a cheap manufacturer of woven patches whilst working in the

I've had a few replies expressing interest in these patches and a couple of

XO Report

As Emailed From:
Executive Officer (SA Astatine)
The main sticking point with the
domain was the BSF system. However,
after poking around a bit and talking with the former XO, Kawolski, it
seems the issue was with the component that handles the zipping and upzipping of
the pilot files (hence, the hanging when submitting zipped
files). The component has been upgraded and I'm awaiting final testing from the
TAC to verify its operation. At this stage, the rest of the site is effectively
"operational" and once the BSF segment is working, I'll open the database fully
and just fix errors as they happen.
Since some COs don't seem to know, I'll say this here. Reports have to be
submitted to the database and to the FC and myself. I use the reports in
the database when checking who has and hasn't been submitting them, as well as
tracking the historical progress of COs. It's just a
simple 2 minute job, copy-paste, so there's no excuse not to do it.
It seems I've let the NL slide again, bad me. I'll be focusing on getting back
on schedule again since the database is mostly operational now. With the release
of the Ep2 DVDs and videos, this will mean oodles of reviews for it. Or at
least, I'm expecting lots of reviews. :P
That's about it.

Talren Moreco/VSD Stalwart
<salute>
After the removal of two Inquisitors and the resignation of FA Darth Vader from
the Court, I come to you today with happier news.
1. Appointment of a second Presiding INQ
For his long and outstanding service to the HCI, Fleet Admiral Brett is hereby
promoted to the position of Presiding Inquisitor (P-INQ).
I am sure he will continue his great work in his new position. Congratulations!
2. Promotion of the Warden
In recognition of his excellent work at the HCI, his motivation, dedication and
reliability, and also his long service to the Emperor's Hammer as a whole, HI
Royal and myself would like to request the promotion of Admiral Danrik to the
coveted rank of Fleet Admiral.
Both the HI and I believe he has more than earned this honor.
3. Readmission of Kromtal Stormfyld / Darknyte.
Kromtal Stormfyld / Darknyte has been readmitted into the Emperor's Hammer. I
submit this information because Darknyte's readmission came as a result of a
most unusual case.
After a long time, it turned out that Darknyte had NOT sneaked
back into the EH using a clone after his persona Kromtal Stormfyld had been
expelled.
Therefore, the expulsion of the persona Darknyte without a trial
had been a serious mistake, and I believe the HCI owes Darknyte an apology for
this.
Accordingly, he was allowed to retain all his medals and IWATS
courses; the Notice of Imperial Remandation that had been issued for Kromtal
Stormfyld has been revoked.
For other violations however, Darknyte has been readmitted at a
lower rank (LCM) than at his former rank (CPT), and has been placed on a
probationary period ending 30th June 2003.

Tactical Office
Hello and welcome to this delayed Tac Office report. This is
63th report from our office, also first I write as Admiral. So, let's go.
1. New battles and missions
Thanks to hard work of Tactical Staff, I've added many new battles to the
database: 2 CABs, 2 XvT-TCs, etc. Even now, I've 2 battles waiting for me to add
them. And more will be coming soon. I am sure we will hit TAC3K soon. At the
moment, mission compendium contains 2558 missions.
2. New testers/engineers sought
I am looking for three new XvT/BoP testers and two XvT/BoP engineers. All
requirements are posted on Mission Creation forum, and can be found here. Read
them before applying. Remember. Tac Office offers great awards for hard working
people, but I don't tolerate any laziness. I don't care if you are top gun pilot
or kick-ass CMDR. When you join office, you work for me. You agree to my rules,
you go. You don't, I kick you out. HA Striker gave me full access and
superiority over beta testing process cause he trusts my judgment. I hope that
is understood.
3. One word to testers
Recently I've seen one of testers mailing me and demanding his award. I
considered it joke. Hear this CFB people. This is not Senate. Beta points are
only guide for TCHC. Ultimately, either me or HA Striker decides about your
awards. Consider this warning. I award medals when I've time, but we all have RL.
I am not going to sit on IRC 24hr/day and listen to your requests. This is not
going to happen. Next time, I'll hear any Tac Office member comments decisions
of mine or HA Striker, or even any of TCCs, next time, I'll hear testers
demanding or bitching and moaning about awards, this person will be sent to
Security Officer under violation of articles: 403 and 408. I hope that is clear.
4. One word:
Remember that HA Striker is very busy man. It's very hard to catch him on IRC.
Remember to send me all new battles you submit. It will only speed up entire
process. If you have any questions, mail me.
5. "Dark Blades" competition
Remember that our level-creation competition is still on. Submit your stuff to
HA Striker, cc me. You can win nice medals.
And that would be all for this week. Cya later.

On that note, make sure all medals are done PROPERLY. Proper reasons, MSE's,
with real examples of activity. If your medal gets denied, it probably was
denied because there wasn't enough information in the recommendation. And I
don't have time to write long denial reasons at this time, so just do it right,
and save us all a little bit of time and effort.
Second, squadron patches: The first squadron to get its patch approved was
Typhoon Squadron (from Wing X, ISD Challenge). Congratulations! Remember, all
patches must be sent to my OPSA, Commander Tempest (
EH_Tempest@gmx.net ), and CC'd to myself
( howlader@shaw.ca ), otherwise they're be
denied. Also, to see the guidelines for squadron patches, consult the OPS Site
on Regulations

Flight Officer (FA Priyum)
Flight Office
Greetings all and welcome to this week's report from the Flight
Office...
News -
- I've decided to appoint a new Command Attach�. Congratulations go out to
Admiral Cyric, the former ASF Battlegroup Commander. He'll be helping me out
with various administrative duties, but NOT in the general upkeep of the
rosters. This means that you DON'T have to CC him on routine emails to me.
- There have also been a fair number of Flag appointments in the past couple of
days:
Vice Admiral Brakka retired as COM of the ISD Intrepid. Taking his place is Rear
Admiral Wil Striker, the former Wing Commander on the Intrepid. Striker's
replacement is Colonel Duncan Idaho.
A new Wing Commander for Wing XIII has also been selected, Major Hev Randrowan.
Congratulations to all the above.
- Rear Admiral Ekim has resigned as the Commodore of the ISD Vanguard.
Applications are being accepted and should be sent to Darksaber@ehnet.org and
erik@e-sjop.nl ASAP.
- Whilst the majority of the database functions are operating, it's still not
open to the general membership for use. Please be patient while everything is
brought back up to speed.
CMDRs+ please note that you can still make all the usual roster changes by
emailing them to me directly.
- I'm still behind on marking SM/III tests. Patience says Boo.
That's all.

"Any smoothly functioning technology will have the appearance
of magic."
<salute>
Welcome to my tenth public report as a Science Officer, not really on time
*cough* because I was planning to run a little competition but that has been
postponed till all the database stuff is a bit more done� (Ok� and I got a bit
much into mission creation ;))
Science Office News:
1. These days I've been looking into various forms of mission "bugs" and other
anomalies. For this I've been making a few "follies" as missions for XWA,
XvT and TIE with as main goal to check out a few more of the "unknowns" and
such. I also looked into a different TIE editor then our common TFW, TIEd. A few
things that came up out of all of this and that can be of help to our mission
creators:
-In XvT and TIE docking craft will not dock to containers and
such that have orders other then "await boarding" or "hold steady" and such. If
a
container or other craft has an order like "Self Destruct" a boarding craft will
keep "Looking for craft to board" even if its target is straight ahead
of it.
-The "Self Destruct" order of XvT has a bug in its timer after 5
minutes of waiting, and often before that already. If you want a craft to first
wait
and then self destruct you are advised to actually use a wait order first.
-TIE missions made with TIEd and TFW are not compatible. TFW
will mess up (wipe out or crash) a TIEd mission briefing, where as TIEd will
give you a "Range Check Error" on missions made with TFW. This is because�
-TIEd has limitations on amounts of Flight Groups that can be
set up in one mission and limitations on the amount of briefing orders (so no
"Drake-like" briefings are possible.). However, TIEd does offer as advantage
that it fully supports "Super groups" (Global Groups) where as TFW does not. It
also has an easier interface for those that are used to XW-ed, XvTed and Allied.
-Apparently all TIE editors go by on many "unknowns" and other
triggers. This is especially obvious after conversion to XvT, after which
suddenly
many unknown triggers appear where TIE editors show nothing at all.
2. The Emperor's Hammer AGI games project is actually proceeding
nicely, due to the efforts of Khadgar - who is writing a guide for us. He has
also made several characters already that can be used for EH games, like several
Imperial Officers and even the Fleet Commander. I myself have been looking into
making backgrounds and rooms and of both I've included a screenshot. I think
that if it continues like this we might be able to present a (simple) adventure
game by the holidays/the EH's birthday.
3. The Jedifighter OPT for XWA has been put on hold for a bit,
which also affects the craft for Clan Alvaak (Which looks like a more vicious,
updated jedifighter). The textures are mostly finished, as is the rest of the
OPT, but because of the design its creating bugs in XWA currently (the front
becomes transparent at some angles). These can be fixed; it will just take a bit
longer.
4. For reference I'll like to point everyone to a very helpful
site on the creation of BoP and XWA cut scenes:
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~john22/
These can add a lot of "extra" to any battle. To get movies that
look as if they were taken straight from the game itself, there's a converter
now that makes 3ds files out of opts and back again! Get it at
http://www.geocities.com/v_d_d/
5. Ok, that comp I'm planning is a little SCO webhunt - more
news on this spot the moment it's approved by the Training Officer and such.
Science Office Status:
CA: Admiral Darkhill has not been seen for quite a while� I hope he's alright;
last times he disappeared he had very unfortunate reasons indeed. :/
SCOA: Major Shadd has been looking into the creation of cockpits for TIE and XvT
using tieedit 1.28. If you want to do so as well, check out
http://www.geocities.com/hal1234_2000/tutorial.html its pretty easy. :)
Site: The Science Office site can be found at
http://sco.minos.net or via the redirect
http://scienceoffice.isCool.net.
No major updates this week besides updates to the project pages and reports.
Working on a new Order of Battle layout, as the current one is pretty outdated.
Science Office Projects:
XvT/BoP/TIE95 Ship patches: This project's goal is to add all the original and
Order of Battle craft that are still "missing" from these games, like
the SSD in TIE and XvT, the Medium Transport in all etc. Several of these will
be finished soon for my own TIE Fighter battle at least; these include
the Bulk Cruiser, Assault Frigate and others.
XWA Ship patches: Primarily the plan is to clear out the backlog of craft
arranged by earlier SCO's and such, like the Trithan Interceptor (Kermee), the
Hyperion (Den), the Alvaakian Craft (me) and the new fighter for Avenger
Squadron (AES). The Trithan Interceptor and Hyperion are now ready, working on
the Jedi Fighter before I continue to the Alvaak Fighter, as that's based on it.
XWA Enemy Ship Packs: The plan is to create several multi-ship patches that
install 5 different enemy craft of a particular theme at once on the same 5
slots for each pack. The first pack is that based on the "Genko System" (2
fighters, a transport a capital ship and a platform.). Modelling is 80% done,
texturing 25%. Further texturing is on hold for the Ship patches projects to
clear but can be finished shortly after that.
Emperor's Hammer Adventure Games: Khadgar has made process on a beginners guide
to AGI/SCI which should greatly help along this project to make it possible to
create EH games in the style of "Space Quest", "Kings Quest" or "Leisure Suit
Larry". If you are interested in making these games as well, try all the guides
linked and cached at
http://www.agidev.com/tut.html
Finishing up:
I think that's it - If I've forgotten anything or if you have comments,
suggestions or corrections, let me know via email. Don't forget that all the
projects are described in more detail on the SCO site.
(Use only mindb_ender@hotmail.com
for official SCO mails.) or ICQ (9706474). Preferably do not mail large files to
me, but DCC them via IRC - I'm practically always online at #emperor's_hammer
and #tiecorps using the nick MindB_ndr (or variations.)
All my SCO reports are available online as well: you can reach them on the SCO
site:
http://www.minos.net/~sco/reports/index.html. The moment the TC database is
back online they will be posted there as well. I'm going to do that next:
Until next time, good luck and have fun!

WEEKLY ROSTER COUNT: 360
Sirs,
The big news to report this week is that the two vacant Commission positions,
Specialist and Executor have been filled. Better yet, they've been filled by
some of the BHG's new blood: first-time Commissioners.
Please welcome Skorbacca to the position of Specialist, and Dalk Darklighter to
that of Executor.
Both candidates were chosen out of an eager pool of applicants for their ability
and willingness to do what is required of them. They have both demonstrated
their ability well as Chiefs and leaders of the BHG, and it is with pleasure
that I appoint them to these important jobs.
That is the biggest news for this week. In some other news, new Adjunct Darth
Shadow is planning a merits/flaws competition for the role play system.
Judicator Ehart reports that, as soon as the webpage for it is fixed, the Kabal
Authority Games will resume with all their past ferocity.
Respectfully submitted,

As Submitted From:
Fleet Commander (GA Ronin)
Fellow Imperial Citizens,
I had received some bad news that has some impact on the EH, although probably
no one in the EH realizes it...
On 10.21.02, I lost a good friend of mine (Joe Kane) who was
instrumental in the early days of the EH to help develop/design its structure,
strategies, Bylaws, etc. I went to his funeral on 10.30.02.
His name first appeared in NL #10 (02.24.95)...Although
he was with me from the very beginning (and thought I was a bit nuts then too :)
Imperial Advisors
ISB Liason Officer/Counselor: General Johann Kane (No pilot position in the
Wing)
ISB Liason Officer/Counselor (ISBLO) - The ISBLO is the Primary Counselor to the
Wing Commander on the development of the overall plot/story line for the
Emperor's Hammer. The ISBLO's contributions include fictional character
development and target objectives for the Hammer. The current ISBLO is a
personal offline friend of the WC.
Not only was he was one of my two closest friends and an usher in my wedding, but
he was often my only "sounding board" for various early ideas I had for the EH. He
was part of the reason the EH is what it is. His sudden death has hit me
hard...(he was only 46).
In his honor, I have decided to award Joe Kane the EH Medal of
Honor (posthumous)...
(Please review the
Operations Manual for EH medal descriptions)
He will be sorely missed...I just thought the Membership should
know...All I ask is that you "raise a glass" to him...that's what he would have
wanted...:)

Hostmasking:
There is no official CoC regarding hostmasking using the new X usermode, but if
you use X hostmasking to evade a ban, we will throw the book at you for ban

Office Report: 11.01.02

First of all, I would like to post a reminder to all channel
operators in EH channels. Read and follow the Codes of Conduct. If you are on
IRC and away or not able to check the channel, deop yourself. You do not have to
be opped all of the time. It helps the Communications
Officer and me if we can tell if there are ops in the channel active at the
time. Moderating IRC channels all of the time is one of the hardest
tasks for EH officers. Try to ensure that when you are active in the channel
that Codes of Conduct are followed. Those who are not ops can
always log IRC channels and report violations to me. This is especially
important when there are no active operators in the channel. Channel
operators have a '@' symbol before their nickname. Those with a '+' before their
name do not have privileges to ban or kick people in the
channel. They can only talk when the channel is set to +m (moderated) mode.
The SO page is up. I lost PHP functionality though. Also I'm currently unable to
post images. I'm waiting on FA Stalker5 to fix the permissions to let me have
images. I hope to gain PHP-based news functionality again also. Everything is
plain HTML now. I did add more information that is useful to members. Check out
the FAQ, SubGroup Security, and Regulations pages. They are new to the office.
I had a few complaints come in this week. Two are under investigation. I also
have a few ongoing investigations, which now are at a
standstill. Kal-Ket pleaded guilty to the HCI. Check their page for information
on his punishment.
http://www.minos.net/~moreco/hci/news.php
I encourage ALL EH members to use and update their virus
scanning software. Also be sure to scan it at least once a month. For those who
are able to afford such software and don't have it, please do so. We have had
many viruses going through to EH member's e-mails because of
those in their address books (especially Command Staff officers). FA Ari (
io@emperorshammer.org ) has been
collecting e-mail headers of those
who have the Klez virus. Please do not send those e-mails to me.
Another thing you can do (for those who have Windows), Use the Windows Update to
download and install all of the critical updates. This also
secures your computer against known methods of unauthorized access, for which
Microsoft made a patch. Go online and click on the Start Menu and go to Settings
or Programs, Accessories, System Tools to find Windows Update, or with your
Internet Explorer browser, go to:

Greetings from the office of the Infiltrator Wing Commander!
This first thing to notice is the roster drop. This is a planned action taken by
the IW Flight Officer, enforcing stricter AWOL checks to root out inactivity. In
accordance with the AWOLing of inactive membership, Wing I will be temporarily
shut down for further membership with Ares and Shadow squadron moved to the
remaining two wings for the period of time while the membership numbers
regenerate.
Another way that we will combat inactivity is organizing a wide array of various
competitions and other areas of activity for the members of the Infiltrator
Wing. Of course, if you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to email me
directly at nikola.leder@medri.hr. I
am always pleased to hear some suggestions or critics.
In other news, the several larger projects we have undertaken are nearing
completion. Expect updated versions of the IW Pilot Manual, IW Operations Manual
as well as the IW Guard Manual.
The Infiltrator Wing Guard is starting to show some good activity, I am most
pleased to see this. I would also like to hereby award Captain of the Guard,
Captain Mad Hatter with the Legion of Merit in recognition of his excellent
service since his appointment to the position. Keep up the good work!
On to next big news, as you all know, the last Commodore of the MC-90 Warspite
has been removed from his position. After the applications for the position were
received this week, it is my pleasure to appoint the new commodore of this fine
ship.
After his lengthy and exemplary service as the Wing commander of wing III, I
most pleased to promote Colonel Tomaas Banys to the position of the Warspite
commodore and to the rank of General! The rank of the Brevet Admiral will be
awarded as soon as the ComEx is completed.
Congratulations General! You truly deserved this promotion, keep
up the good work!
Your first orders are to find yourself a new Wing Commander for Wing III. I want
the applications to start ASAP.
Respectfully submitted,
Admiral NiksaVel,

Total - 32 (66 including Reserves)
Direx and Trade Assembly Command - 6
Trade Assembly - 26
Reserves - 34
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1. For his service as Prex of the Corporate Division, AD Dark Angel has been
awarded the Direx Board Medallion! Thanks for your great work and commitment
towards the Corporate Division Angel!
2. One of the first things that happened this week was the appointment of a new
Executive Vice President (VPX). After considering possible VPX's, I came to the
decision of appointing a member that has proven himself over the past year and a
half to be a dedicated, highly active and a truly excellent leader. Commissar
General Reb Crush has been appointed as VPX, congrats mate. :-)
3. With Reb's elevation into the Direx Board, Solaris System's CEO position was
left open. His replacement wasn't exactly a hard decision, since Dash has been
the only DC that SSY has ever had. Congrats to the new SSY CEO, MWO Dash!
4. CP Thorin stepped aside also this week to allow Warrant Officer Monsh Fesou
to take over one of his CEO positions. Congrats to the new FIC CEO Monsh!
5. I've decided on a new Chairman of the Trade Assembly. It was a seriously hard
decision to make, but i've made it and here's the results. Congrats to CHMN
Thorin Oakenshield! Thorin is now on a 3 month evaluation period as CHMN. After
those 3 months, he may stay on or another CHMN selected. Good luck Thorin!
6. The Corporate Division manual received a MUCH needed update this week. Two of
the main changes is that Recruitment section now contains the training process
that will be implemented within the new few weeks hopefully, also added was the
Procedures section, which includes important information on how to correctly
request promotions, awards, transfers etc. When it's released, read it!
7. One thing I want to highlight in this report. Use the message board people!
It's starting a revival at the moment, so everyone join in. Plus, i'll be adding
important announcement/news stuff there so it'll be in your own interest to
check it often.

8. Corporate Division meetings are making a comeback. Yup, in
order to help communications and making sure people know what's happening, we're
starting the meetings again. They'll be held in #corporate_division every Sunday
at 8pm GMT. Try to make it, it's a chance to talk to other CD'ers as well. Also,
a 1000 IC reward for people attending the whole thing is being awarded. Trivia
is also going to be provided after each meeting later on (with the reward being
credits), but at the moment we're looking for a 'trivia master' to provide
questions.
9. Coming soon is a new 'game' that is open to all iBank users! Who Wants To Be
a Thousandaire. Yup, you've guessed what the layout and rules are going to be
like. Soon enough, VPB Darkheart will be sending out an email saying that he is
accepting contestant applications. The first 10 to reply will be selected and
allowed to take part in the game. This is going to be a monthly competition, so
if you don't get in this week, try again next month.
10. Money Magazine will be released in ANN, as well as many other CD items that
have been submitted. Keep and eye out for them people!
11. One last thing, a new policy has been added. When appointed to a command
position, that's DC all the way up to the Direx, you won't be given the
positions minimum rank until you've proven yourself capable of fulfilling its
duties. After that, if you resign within 5 months, you'll be sent away with the
rank you had before being appointed into that position. This is mainly because
rank now carries a higer value when credits are awarded, meaning people have to
work harder for those extra credits. ;-)
That's the news done!

Saturday, November 2, 2002 at 1 PM EST...!!!
Hi Kieran
Here it is... finally! ;) Let me know what you think. Talk to you soon!
-Joe
Greetings Mr. Joe Corroney,
Here is the interview. I was waiting for a while just to not seem like I was
spamming your inbox! :) Take your time with it, and again, thanks a lot!
1.) When did you want to become an artist, and why?
I've actually been drawing since before I can remember so I'm not sure if
there's an exact reason that led me to become an artist. Drawing has always been
with me. I know that Star Wars definitely inspired me at an early age. After I
saw the movie in 1977, I was four years old, I came home and started drawing
scenes from the film on paper with crayons and also had the comic book
adaptation of the film that Marvel Comics had released. That was one of my very
first comic books actually so I started drawing pictures from that also. The
comic book helped me relive the magic of the movie so I was always inspired to
draw from it. It was also responsible for inspiring me to pursue a career in
comic books too. I guess my parents saw some potential in my artwork and put me
in private art classes at an early age and later Saturday art school courses
which I really enjoyed.
2.) Who are your inspirations?
Most of my inspirations are actually comic book artists. People like Jack Kirby,
John Byrne, Frank Miller, John Romita Jr., John Buscema, Mike Zeck, Berni
Wrightson, Jan Duursema, and Tom Mandrake.
3.) What is your favorite book, and why?
Wow, can it be a comic book or graphic novel? I don't really read too many
actual novels. The last book I read years ago that I really enjoyed was Bram
Stoker's 'Dracula'. I'd have to say my favorite (comic) book is 'The Dark Knight
Returns' by Frank Miller or 'The Watchmen' by Alan Moore Dave Gibbons. Though I
love to use my imagination, I tend to be more visually stimulated so that's why
I love comic books and movies so much.
4.) What is your favorite movie, and why?
My favorite movie? Do you have to ask? Just kidding! Of course it's Star Wars. I
mean The Empire Strikes Back is great and probably a superior movie visually and
artistically, but the first one is so magical and was so unique. It was the
first time anything like it really played on the screen. There still hasn't
really been anything quite like it actually. All of the other Episodes come
close so far and I love them all too, even 'The Phantom Menace', but 'A New
Hope' was just the perfect movie. Especially growing up with it as kid made it
more special. A close second for me would be Raiders of the Lost Ark.
5.) Where did you first see Star Wars?
That was back home with my parents in Indianapolis, Indiana where I grew up. It
was summer of 1977. The theatres I actually saw it in aren't even around
anymore. I saw it a number of times as a child cause my mom or dad would keep
taking me so see it since they really enjoyed it too.
6.) What made you decide to paint many different Star Wars images?
I had just graduated art college with my illustration degree and was trying to
make a living at drawing and painting however and wherever I could. It was
really a goal of mine to want to become and artist for West End Games Star Wars
RPG and pursue a career as a freelance illustrator for them. Once I started
working for WEG, they kept giving me more and more Star Wars projects to do
since they were really happy with my work. I really love Star Wars and have
always poured my heart into my artwork for it. When I was working for WEG
originally there's no way I would have imagined I'd have this much continued
success and happiness in working on the property for Lucasfilm this long. As
long as the assignments keep coming in and Lucasfilm is happy with my work it's
not a hard decision for me at all to be enthusiastic to continue painting and
drawing Star Wars.
7.) What is your favorite thing about Star Wars, and why?
My favorite thing about Star Wars is essentially the story and relationships.
Initially, as a kid, it was more specifically about the amazing special effects,
the action and the great characters themselves. But as I got older, there were
more and different things to like about the trilogy that made it so fun to love.
Star Wars works on so many different levels. As a kid, it's just great fun. It's
magical at that age. When you get older and watch it, and if you still have an
imagination and aren't too cynical as an adult, the mythology of it all becomes
appealing. Not to mention the artistic merits of the movies too. It really deals
with universal themes too, like good and evil, which will always be interesting
to me.
8.) What are some of your hobbies, and why do you like them?
I love going to the movies since it inspires me in my own work as a storyteller.
Good movies, bad movies, B-Movies, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, action - I love them
all. I find I can always learn something about my own work, whether its
storytelling through visuals, framing my scenes, page design in my comic book
work or just writing for own stories. I love music too so I along with my dvd
collection I have way too many cds. Though the past year, my hobby has been more
about downloading the music I want online since it saves me a little bit of cash
that way. I also love playing my X-Box when I get the chance. I just bought 'The
Thing' and have been playing that and I love 'Dead or Alive 3'. I can't wait for
'Jedi Knight' to hit the platforms soon along with 'Knights of the Old Republic'
and 'Star Wars Galaxies'. I love rpg video games though I tend to never finish
them or seem them all the way through because I end up getting too busy. I've
got a GameCube too so I can't wait for 'Bounty Hunter' and 'Clone Wars' which
comes out soon. There's just way too many cool Star Wars games coming out that
could slow me down in my work. I've got to be careful!
9.) What is your favorite thing about being an artist?
That's easy. I make my own hours and I'm my own boss. I don't have to 'punch in'
every morning and work with people I don't like or work on projects that don't
fulfill me. I love what I do. I'm able to satisfy myself both professionally and
creatively at the same time by getting paid to use my imagination. I feel really
lucky that way. It's definitely not about the fame since I still consider myself
to be just another Star Wars artist in the realm of hundreds of working artists
out there who are more successful than me. And it's not about the money either.
When the work isn't coming in and the projects aren't lining up or the art
director's aren't calling, my checking account can get get pretty thin
sometimes. It's really competitive too so sometimes I have to put in alot of my
own time and energy to get my name out there and tackle the projects I really
want to be a part of. But when it's good, it can be really good. It's the life
of a freelancer. I wouldn't trade it in for anything.
10.) Do you have any current projects that you are working on that you are
allowed to talk about?
I actually just finished a project for Star Wars Insider that will be appearing
in issue 65, due out in January I believe. I think fans of your site will
*especially* be interested in it because of some of the great characters I got
to illustrate for it. You could say the project was really tailor made for fans
and visitors of your site so I have a feeling that you're really going to like
it. That's all I can really say about it so you'll have to pick up the magazine
early next year. I'd love to hear what everyone thinks of it when it comes out
so be sure to drop me a line at my official website,
www.joecorroney.com. I'm hoping to do
some more work for Insider soon and possibly have another project lined up there
with my art director. I'm also getting ready to do something for New Line Cinema
on Lord of the Rings. That's *really* top secret right now but I'm really
excited about the project.
11.) What images did you design that you are most proud of, and why?
One of the Star Wars pieces I'm most proud of is also one of my newest pieces.
It was a cover painting I collaborated on with another Star Wars artist Jeff
Carlisle (be sure to check out his website at
www.jeffcarlisle.com ). It was for an
international Star Wars fan publication called 'Echo Base Magazine'. It features
a montage of Vader, Anakin from Episode II and Luke. I was really pleased with
how that piece turned out. Also, I'm really proud of my latest work for Insider
so I can't wait to see that come out. I did some illustrations for the 'Power of
the Jedi Sourcebook' which was released earlier this year. I really had alot of
fun with those drawing my Jedi character, Kai Justiss fighting and interacting
with various monsters and creatures. Another illustration I'm proud of that also
features Kai is 'Kashyyyk in Flames' which appeared in Star Wars Gamer #4.
12.) What kind of music do you like?
Rock, alternative, heavy metal and film soundtracks mainly. I still listen to
some classic rock occasionally but not as much as I did back in high school.
There's always room for a little country, blues, some pop sometimes. Everything
I guess. It's all rock n' roll to me really.
13.) Who is your favorite band, and why?
My favorite band, the one that I get the most out of artistically is probably
Soundgarden. Chris Cornell is my favorite musician, he's just so talented. I
love his songwriting and his singing his amazing, he's got the best voice in
rock, along with Maynard Keenan from Tool, one of my other favorite bands. I
really love Rage Against the Machine too so you can imagine I'm really looking
forward to the Cornell and Rage collaboration, Audioslave, coming out next
month. Though I've been listening to the demos for the album for a few months
now. Probably my second favorite band behind Soundgarden is Nine Inch Nails.
Trent Reznor is amazing. I've been listening to alot of NIN for the past three
years and it never seems to leave my cd player. I like Rob Zombie alot too,
everything from White Zombie to his latest album. I also really dig Chris Isaak
too. I've been listening to all of the music from Cowboy Bebop alot lately,
something like 96 tracks in total. What I like about the series is it's use of
jazz, blues, pop, western, rock, country and indigenous forms of Asian music
blended so seamlessly from show to show. The way each show is edited to the
musical themes, numbers and cues is always brilliant. i really love that show.
14.) Who is your favorite painter, and why?
It's probably Ralph McQuarrie. He really defined the visual look of Star Wars.
He's primarily responsible for creating the look and feel of all the films and
the characters so I have tons of admiration for his unique imagination and
skills. I was really floored when I saw some of his originals for the first time
in 1998 at the Smithsonian when the Magic of Myth exhibit debuted. I pictured
them to be so much larger after seeing them printed in numerous books over the
years but they weren't that large at all. Seeing his technique with gouache in
person looked so tight on those paintings. It was amazing.
15.) Who is your favorite character in Star Wars (movies and books), and why?
It used to be Luke when I was younger. I could identify with his desire to
accomplish something big with his life, wanting to have adventure and walk the
right path. When I got a little older it was Han since he existed a little more
in the grey area. He wasn't always right, though he tried to be. That's
realistic and identifiable when you're an adult. But Qui-Gon Jinn is probably my
favorite character now. For years we've been hearing and wondering how powerful
and cool the Jedi truly were in their prime and Qui-Gon really set the stage for
that. He was a 'talk softly, carry a big lightsaber' kind of guy that adhered to
his own codes but still followed the Jedi path. That's admirable.
16.) What do you think about the Emperor's Hammer?
A site devoted to Star Wars gaming with an emphasis on the Darkside. What's not
to like? I really dig it!
17.) How do you feel about being an honorary member of the Emperor's Hammer?
I'm really flattered to be included in such an esteemed list of honorary members
and to be associated with such a cool Star Wars website! Thanks for noticing and
supporting my work too!

As Emailed From:
Executive Officer (SA Astatine)
The domain was moved to another server over the course of the
week to get a mail component working. As it turns out, that didn't fix
anything, so I've ended up paying for the component myself. It was either this
or rewrite all the mailing code. I don't really think this is the time for
experimentation, so I got the component. Hopefully, it'll be installed over the
weekend. Functionally, the site seems to be able to read data from the database
okay. I've yet to fully test the adding/editing/deleting of data. Unzipped TIE
BSFs went through okay but the site seemed to crash when testing a zipped BSF.
Uniform uploading works. Also, the news@eh.net address is working again, so if
you have any news you want posted, send it to that address.
Newsletter
87 has been released with 88 and 89 to follow shortly. I am in need of
writers for NL 90, specifically people to write articles, reviews/previews
and the like. If anyone is interested, mail me.
SA Astatine - XO
Fleet Commander's Note:
Thanks to SA Astatine shelling out the $50 for ASPEmail,
www.emperorshammer.net seems to
coming back to life...My thanks to our XO for all of his hard work to get the EH
Database back up and running !
And an update received from the XO on 10.20.02...
Just an update again, the mail component has been installed
and appears to be working. I need the following people to do the following
things:
TAC - test BSF functionality
FO - test cadet processing, roster updating, etc.
OPS - test medal submission and processing
The rest of you should be able to submit your reports. If you get any error

Vice
Admiral Nav'ric Trow Appointed as New Prex of
the Corporate Division: 10.18.02
As Submitted From:
Fleet Commander (GA Ronin)
Based, in part, on the glowing recommendation of outgoing former
Prex AD Dark Angel, the Fleet Commander (GA Ronin) has appointed Trow as the new
President (Prex) of the Corporate Division.
Corporate Division (CD)
Howdy,
My intention of this e-mail was not to tell you who to appoint, but rather give
my opinion on the matter, as someone who is directly related to it. I'm sure the
many, if not all of the qualities that I come up with, you would look for in any
SGCOM officer, or any officer at all. But here are a few.
Experience - It's always a bonus to not have to have someone learn the systems
before they can start actually working. Knowing how the CD runs is an invaluable
tool. This experience coming from the CD itself. While experience in other
area's of the EH are good, I don't feel that they are as valuable as experience
within the CD.
Initiative - You need to be able to start projects, and find new areas for the
CD to expand into.
Reliable - The success the CD has had in the past has come from the reliability
of the members and leadership.
Organization - Without organization, you will quickly become overwhelmed with
the amount of reports coming in. As is with any higher-up position.
Dedication - Someone who is in for the long haul is essential.
These skills are the most important ones that I can come up with at this point
in time. Since I'm sure you'll have additional requirements you would like met,
so I'll leave those to you.
My apologies for the lateness of my reply, but it's mid-term time at school, so
I've been pretty busy.
Thank-you for considering my request.

Flight Officer (FA Priyum)
Flight Office
** Please forward this down to your pilots **
Greetings all, and welcome to this week's report from the Flight Office:
News -
- You may have noticed that I've started to update the rosters again. This
doesn't mean that the database is fully functional, just that certain things are
working, and other things are being tested for their functionality. Until the
Executive Officer says otherwise, no-one (apart from members of the COs and
SGCOMs) are to log into the database. This doesn't mean you can't look at the
news, roster pages.
Over the course of this week, I'll be working through the backlogged requests.
As you can imagine, there's quite of lot of emails to go through, so this will
take a bit of time. I ask that everyone show a bit of common sense and be
patient. If you're awaiting an update, then please check your profile for that
change on a regular basis, although on most occasions you'll receive
notification by email, as normal. If by the end of the week a request is still
outstanding, then please resend it to me at
spellfire@btinternet.com. Do NOT
bug me about it on IRC!
- During the database's downtime, there were a significant number of changes to
the TIE Corps' Flag staff, which I'll summarize here for everyone's benefit.
The following people resigned their position:
Vice Admiral Toran Dan retired as FOA.
General Jahan Kalar stepped down as Wing Commander of Wing III.
Rear Admiral Corran Force retired as ISD Challenge Commodore.
Major Lohr Zadash retired as Wing Commander of Wing IX.
Admiral Cyric retired as ASF Battlegroup Commander.
Vice Admiral Azazel retired as ISD Grey Wolf Commodore.
Lieutenant Colonel Sarin resigned as Avenger Commander.
The following promotions/appointments were made:
Colonel Drake was appointed as the new Wing IX WC.
Vice Admiral Darksaber was appointed as the new ASF Battlegroup Commander.
Rear Admiral RogueWing was appointed as the new ISD Immortal Commodore.
Rear Admiral Sarin was appointed as the new ISD Grey Wolf Commodore.
Vice Admirals Pel and Proton were promoted to Admiral.
General Jahan Kalar was appointed as my new FOA.
Lieutenant Colonel Dax Corrin was promoted to Avenger Commander.
Also, over the course of the past month, Beta Squadron in Wing I was closed
down, and Sigma Squadron in Wing II, was reactivated.
Congratulations to all those who received promotions. To those that retired from
active service, the best of luck for the future.
- A reminder that the TIE Corp's message board is now permanently located at
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewforum.php?f=38. Go post. Except in that inane
thread about ISD names or whatever. Meh. Boo says that thread sucks.
- Now that things are kinda back to normal, things should start picking up.
Remember to check the TIE Corps News page (
http://www.emperorshammer.net/news.asp ) and the TC message board for
regular updates. Any questions should be directed to your Superior.
Respectfully,
Fleet Admiral Priyum
Flight Officer & TIE Corps Commander

Science Officer (AD Ender mBind)
Science Office
"The effects could well be called unprecedented, magnificent,
beautiful, stupendous, and terrifying. No man-made phenomenon of such tremendous
power had ever occurred before."
Science Office News:
1. As noted, this report is way too late and all that, as had the activity in
the office gone down to a standstill over the last week. I��m very sorry
about that and I'll try not to let it happen again �V weird combination of a flu
that just stuck around and a new job I couldn't take off even with the flu :-/
2. I've completed texturing and testing the Hyperion OPT for XWA
- expect a patch to be released ASAP. This is a new fighter for the Dark
Brotherhood based on the Sith Wars competition/story. A screenshot is attached
�V it was modeled by AD Den Darkhill and textured by me. Finishing up on the
modeling of the craft for Clan Alvaak, after texturing that next up would be the
new fighter for Avenger Squadron.
3. We've noticed several problems with the older patches that
use the installer by Kermee, as they still overwrite each other partially. This
means they do not work together at the moment unless you patch them in manually
(all patching guides are in the Guide Archives on the SCO site) or wait till
we've updated them �V and we're working on that.
4. Keep an eye on this spot �V there will be a little
competition in this report the moment the TIE Corps database is fully
functioning again. ��
Science Office Status:
CA: Admiral Darkhill was, like me, down with the flu this week and as such
didn��t do much.
SCOA: Igor was the one that dropped the vial with the flu virus in the first
place ;)
Site: The Science Office site can be found at
http://sco.minos.net or via the redirect
http://scienceoffice.isCool.net.
No major updates this week on account of being in bed for most of the time.
Science Office Projects:
XvT/BoP/TIE95 Ship patches: This projects goal is to add all the original and
Order of Battle craft that are still "missing" from these games, like
the SSD in TIE and XvT, the Medium Transport in all etc While pretty far already
(about 77% done), working on XWA craft at the moment.
XWA Ship patches: Primarily the plan is to clear out the backlog of craft
arranged by earlier SCOs and such, like the Trithan Interceptor (Kermee), the
Hyperion (Den), the Alvaakian Craft (me) and the new fighter for Avenger
Squadron (AES). The Trithan Interceptor and Hyperion are now ready, working on
the Alvaakian Fighter �V which should be done this week.
XWA Enemy Ship Packs: The plan is to create several multi-ship
patches that install 5 different enemy craft of a particular theme at once on
the same 5 slots for each pack. The first pack is that based on the "Genko
System" (2 fighters, a transport a capital ship and a platform.). Modeling is
80% done, texturing 25%. Further texturing is on hold for the Ship patches
projects to clear but can be finished shortly after that.
Emperor's Hammer Adventure Games: Khadgar has started on a beginner's guide to
AGI/SCI which should greatly help along this project to make it possible to
create EH games in the style of "Space Quest", "Kings Quest" or "Leisure Suit
Larry".
Finishing up:
I think that's it �V If I've forgotten anything or if you have comments,
suggestions or corrections, let me know via email. Don't forget that all
the projects are described in more detail on the SCO site.
(use only mindb_ender@hotmail.com
for official SCO mails.) or ICQ (9706474). Preferably do not mail large
files to me, but DCC them via IRC. I'm practically always online at #emperor's_hammer
and #tiecorps using the nick MindB_ndr (or variations.)
All my SCO reports are available online as well: you can reach them on the SCO
site:
http://www.minos.net/~sco/reports/index.html. The moment the TC database is
back online they will be posted there as well.
Until next time, good luck and have fun!

Reconnaissance Office Report: 10.22.02

Greetings,
<salute>
First, I'd like to apologize for the lateness of my report. I was rather busy
last weekend with my friends.
I'm pleased to say that Artist/EH Honorary Commander Joe Corroney will be coming
for an interview with the EH Membership on Saturday, November 2, 2002 at 1 PM
EST. The nice thing about Mr. Corroney is that he lives in Columbus, Ohio, so
there are no differences in Time Zones.
I have a few other contacts that I've been talking with but nothing solid. I'll
let you know when there is another. :)
The new EH Movie Plot has been approved!!! :) Pre-Production continues! :)
Again, I will be working on restructuring the ISC. I feel that the current
system has become a little outdated. I'll be working with the AG so that we may
help each other out - because our jobs are very similar.
I'm going to begin to upload RO reports to the TC DB, but it will take some time
to gather all the information.
I got a very good report from CA:RO/RA Joe which I have included:
Greetings!!!
Apologies for the lateness of this report, wont be like this next week :P
Not exactly as much to report as I planned on. AD Zsinj has been getting over
some medical problems which has hindered any advancement on the Convention
Database. He told me that he is getting better and will get right on it. It
shouldn't take him too long when he really lets loose. So lets hope that is up
rreeaalllyy soon.
I have also been searching around the net for email addresses or forums visited
by Star Wars actors/actresses. I haven't found much of anything on that front,
but I DO have someone who says he might be able to get through to James Earl
Jones. Its a long shot, but one I think I will gladly take at a shot to talk to
that man. Wouldn't you? :P
I'm also looking for Hayden Christiansen (sp?) as well. With Episode 2 coming to
DVD and with its big reviews this past summer, He would be one of the top 5
people I would want on the Honorary Member's list. People who are just browsing
through the EH domain could just see his face - or any other big players in
Episode 2 for that matter - and might decide to join just on that fact alone.
Its well worth a shot as well.
And as always.. don't worry Ast, Natilie Portman is still my prime target.. ;)
I'll let you know.
I will email as soon as I hear anything from Zsinj or any luck with
contacting... well *anybody*. This is a short report, hopefully not tooo short.
Thanks for your time :)

Hi Keiran I know that was a long time that I don't talk with you but only today
my friend send me the pictures from a event to SW fans , in this event we talk
about AOC and our club , EH and Conselho Jedi S�o Paulo , this event was in
07/2002 , and we had more then 200 ppl in 3 days of event.
That event was to combine Star Trek , X-Files and Star Wars fans in a place
where we can discuss , debate , change ideas about this three Series and to
exchange and recruit new fresh members to our club.
The event had at least 100 fans per day seeing SW / ST films , X-File's episodes
and discussions.
Was a great time there, we exchange links btw ST and SW websites and had open a
new channel with Sci-Fi fans , I think SW members never had imagine that ST fans
can be so motivated about SW sometimes . :P

High Inquisitor Back in

Well I'm back from my leave. I'll be checking my emails and
addressing everything that needs addressing. If I forget anything, don't
hesitate to
remind me.
I'll be revising/tweaking the AoWs very soon and submitting them for approval to
GA and XO. No major changes in view, mostly clarifications of what's what...
Good to see the TC database back online, great job Astatine.
Thanks to Moreco and Danrik for keeping the HCI back on track. I should be
naming a new P-INQ soon also. Btw don't hesitate to post new on the CI web site,
it's the way to tell people we are alive and kicking... if you don't have access
to posting news, email us.

Security
Office Report: 10.18.2002
As Emailed From:
Security Officer (FA Brad)
Security Office
The biggest news this past week was the Marcus Stormwind has
been sent to the High Court of
Inquisitors. Disrespect and insubordination along with provoking speech does
not mix. He even stated that he wouldn't get in trouble, and I would only give
him a warning. This is a warning to everyone; you don't always get a second
chance. Think before you type (I would say speak if this wasn't on the
Internet).
A warning was issued to LC Zystem Fryar and to Arcanus "Atican". In the event
that you DO get a warning, it is your last chance to make a mistake. Severe
violations before I was made aware of, you will probably not be given a warning.
Also, please remember that ALL Subgroup members are to follow the
Bylaws, Articles of War, and
Codes of Conduct. If you are in the Bounty Hunter's Guild,
you ARE a member of the Emperor's Hammer, and part of your superior officers are
the Executive Officer, Fleet Commander, and other Command Staff
if it is something related. Your SubGroup Commander does not have final say in
things, and must cooperate with other Command Staff officers. I mentioned the
BHG specifically, because of the problems in there, and a few people are likely
to go to the High Court of
Inquisitors this coming week. Ignorance of the regulations is not an excuse.
A mail just sent by FA Priyum Patel states that Command Attach�s are welcome in
any TIE Corps channel, but may NOT have ops or level 100 access in any of the
channels (except for the CA:FO in #TIECorps--which there is none right now, I
believe). All the TIE Corps members and frequenters for their channels, take
note.
The new Security Office page is nearly complete, I did project that the new site
would be up by now, but the amount of complaints and cases to be handled caused
me to delay the work on the website. The old office page still has current
information and I keep posting news, but on the new page some of the sections
that were incomplete now are finished and the pages will be grouped in a logical
fashion. Nobody sent me any extra graphics for the page, so you will have to
bear with it at first release.
If it is possible, have your complaints handled by your superior officers
(especially if both parties of the conflict are under command in the same
SubGroup, Ship, Wing, or smaller unit). When violations occur across SubGroups,
then it must be settled by me, if you are unable to do so yourselves.
As of this morning, I have had computer problems and will be on leave until this
is fixed. The exact cause of the problem hasn't been determined. Aside from some
RL responsibilities, I will spend all the rest of my waking hours trying to fix
my computer. I appreciate your patience and will handle the e-mails by the order
I receive them on my return (which I will announce). Thank you.
