Kappa Report # 42 (2001-07-07)
This report was submitted by LC Astarosta
Roasty needs some sleep.
Squadron News
-Not much news on Kappa as we're getting ready to hibernate and sleep till it's warm again (well here on Argentina it's cold :P)
Well, let's say the heating thingee is broken.
Good thing is that after a long boring time of writing nonsense and running to find a working printer at the darn last minute, I submitted my report for Communitary Psychology (yes, as boring as it sounds), and if nothing goes wrong and I get it approved...
ROASTY IS ON VACATION TIME!!!
*the crowd cheers in hope of a bright blue sky future with reports arriving in time :p*
-LT Hermann is now beginning to experiment on TIE mission designing. He sent a mission he created as a test, I still haven't tried it, but I'm attaching it so you see it and maybe give him some feedback.
-This week's Ol' Roasty's word o' advice: "Never trust your flippin' printer, specially when it's possibly possesed by an evil spirits and jumps around printing weird ASCII."

Miscellaneous
-ImpStorm - Battle for Valkier II
The end of Turn IV, and lots more happening. Two planets have been invaded by ships from different sides.
Additionally, bent on revenge, COM/FA Kramer has sent more ships to retake the planet of Valkier from TF Flaming Arrow. For full details on this, including a complete list of the two fleets, and the time & place of the battle, please click here. Play has been suspended until this conflict has been resolved.
-ColCOM promoted
Many congratulations to Rear Admiral Mell, Commodore of the ISD Colossus, who has been promoted to the rank of Vice Admiral following several months of hard work in supporting his pilots and ship. Go Mell.
-COMM Office Launched!
From CA:COMM/VA Motti:
The Communications Office is pleased to announce the launch of our new Office website, located at http://comm.ehnet.org/. The new office contains a vast amount of reference material regarding communication in the EH. This material includes IRC How-to's, EH Meeting logs, a listing of EH IRC channels, and more!
-Battle For Valkier Results
Although a little late in being announced, the full results from Tuesday night's Battle for Valkier can be found by clicking here. In summary, ships from TF Flaming Arrow completely crushed the opposing Silver Saber forces, for whom the most notable loss was the Regulator, an ImpStar Deuce. TF Flaming Arrow will take control of Valkier at the end of Turn IV.
In other ImpStorm news, TF Doom has captured two more planets: Strall and Golst. Including Firixon, this brings their total up to 3 held worlds.
The battle was a success, with a great turnout (the highest number of people was about 57). Many thanks to all those who attended, and helped. My apologies to those of you who didn't get the opportunity to fly, but there will be more chances in the very near future :)
-EH Poland Meet 2001 Pics
I've just posted the EH Poland Meet 2001 pics sent to me by Lieutenant Colonel Marcin Szydlowski on the EH Images Archive. Go check em' out.
-Imperial Storm II reminder
A quick reminder that the first battle for Imperial Storm II is tonight, at 6PM EST/11PM GMT in the channel #tiecorps. Admiral Zsinj has kindly agreed to help out tonight, so he'll be on hand to host the matches, and settle any disputes if necessary.
I won't be able to stay for the entire evening, but I hope to see as many of you there as possible!
-New Battles Released
Several new battles have been released, check Tactical Office Report 19 for the list.
-New SW Half-Life mod in the making
'Shadows of the Force' is the latest of the surfacing Star Wars Half-Life mods, only this group is still on the job! The time period is Episode I, so there are Naboo, Battle and Destroyer Droids, Gungans, and members of the Trade Federation in the game, but there will also be Sith Lords, Jedi, and Mercs.
They have models of all the popular characters done like Qui-Gon Jinn, R2-D2 & C-3PO, Darth Maul, Mace Windu, Yoda, Amidala, and more! They look weird because they haven't been skinned yet. They have several screenshots of the models along with preliminary map shots.
The gameplay has three modes: Deathmatch, Teamplay (Hostage rescue, Escort the Queen, Bombing targets, Capture-The-Viceroy), and Jedi Power Battles (Jedi Knights vs. Sith Lords)
Let's hope these people can pull it off! You can visit their site here: http://www.halflifenation.net/force/
-TIE Corps Meeting Log
The log for today's TIE Corps meeting can be found here
-Imperial Storm - End of Turn III events
TF Doom continues with its aggressive expansion: Two more planets, Golst & Strall, have been invaded by Doom ships, and both will be captured by the end of Turn IV.
As if this wasn't enough, ships from TF Flaming Arrow have invaded the recently captured Silver Saber world of Valkier!
Play has been suspended until this conflict has been resolved. For full information on this, including the time and place of battle, please click here. If you're unsure as to which side you can fly for, then please read the Imperial Storm II website.
