Flight Office Report for the week ending January 26, 2001

First I'd like to report that numbers in the Fleet continue their slow creep upwards. The Sovereign, ASF, Avenger, Navy, and Daedalus all saw increases in their numbers this week and there has been a ton of activity. I do want to remind all of you to be sure your superiors are cc'd on all transfer requests, so there are no surprises.

Next, on a very serious note, RA Chei-Ras has been honoured in RL with a significant promotion and has had to step down from the COM of the ISD Colossus. This leaves the Col with limited, but dedicated and active pilots who are doing their best to keep the Col in service. If, however valiant their efforts, the Col does not show significant increases in assigned officers, there is a real possibility she will be decommissioned. I love the ship and don't want to see this happen, but an understaffed and declining ISD is more detrimental to the EH than are the Rebels. Anyone who wises to join the Col in her fight back to the shape which earned her the Fleet Commander's Own for 2000 are encouraged to make your desires known and I can assure you that efforts expended on the Col's behalf will be noticed.

In keeping with my promise of news from the various wing, I present the introduction to a report from WING V , WC/MAJ Proton, who has seen great success in recruiting recently.

"Urghh," Major Proton sighed, flexing his writing hand. He dunked the aching
limb into a desk-side container of bacta.
"All these new sublieutenants. All these transfers ... the paperwork this
week has been amazing," Proton said, nodding to one of his personal
assistants, Leroy the jawa. The chittering Leroy retrieved from the WC's
desktop a huge sheaf of Imperial dossiers and assignment documents for return
to storage at the Flight Office. Snippy already had transmitted the
electronic documents.
Proton stretched back in his comfy chair (not as comfortable as Wing II WC/LC
Inkwolf's, but very close >:) ), flexed his muscles and gazed through the
sweeping viewport in the rear of his office. Forty-five TIEs, Missile Boats
and Assault Gunboats shot from the SSSD Sovereign hangar bay in tight
formations, all bearing the distinctive emblem of Wing V.
Another demanding training mission of Wing V was under way.
Proton jumped to his feet, waving in dismissal to his three assistants as he
headed toward his personal craft, TIE Fighter Desperate, to begin supervision
and monitoring of his wing's training.
Dude, the massive Tusken raider, displayed a jagged, toothy grin and
exchanged low-fives with Leroy and Snippy. Their new home in Wing V was a
good one, indeed.

Finally, I'd like to announce the resurrection of the TCCOM Award to recognize the continued efforts of one Wing which has demonstrated excellence in activity, communication, and camaraderie over the last month. With all the activity in the Fleet this last month it has been difficult to narrow the field, but one Ship keep rising to my attention and for this reason, I'd like to announce that the TCCOM award winner for January, 2001 is Wing XIII, the ISD Grey Wolf. Throughout January the GW produced many BSFs and high activity in on-line competitions, but that is not the end of their activity. The GW has high morale led by many fine officers who keep constant communication going and fun a primary goal. They have been active recruiting and earning medals and promotions as well as encouraging continued IWATS education. For this and more, I am happy to present VA Cyric with this award. (the engraved version will be presented later.)

That's it...as always Have fun and behave like an officer
