Squadron News
- Our own CM Ninja, Kappan to the heart, has been invited and transfered to Praetorian Squadron!! It fills me with honor that he has achieved such a privilege, in part because he's a Kappan, in part because he is one of the best officers I've served along & commanded, and mostly because he's my friend. So long, my brother, and the Mighty Keg will enlighten your way with the yellow reflections of the beer!!
-I love when my pilots take a suggestion and amaze me with what they come up afterwards. This is the case once again as LT Tempest has made a replacement to the Kappa Pin. He came up with an amazing Kappa Patch that will show everyone that we are one of those guys who are to be respected as we walk by the corridors of the Sov. By such an amazing job, LT Tempest has earned a ID line addon as Kappa Graphics Designer.
-LCM Tim has uploaded the new Flight I page!! A very nice work, dude. All of the Flight I members (including me) are to send the data to fill those pages in the shape of a career summary and some background history of yourself. Check out the page at http://www.kappa-flight1.f2s.com/
-CM Algaron's Wing II Pilot League is now on its succesful 2nd week! There's pretty much excitement on the air, and Kappa is doing a fine job. Despite the controversy of several near-cheating cases, which aren't accepted by us (attacking Imperials who have a different IFF code and don't discount points. Bad, bad, bad. They still are imperials, ya know) the round has counted, and we're now to fly a new mission. Further info on the orders section.
-LCM Jan Wemmel, who has been working for a long time now in the Cologne (Germany) Star Wars Convention, and is doing a flyer for the EH stand showing what the EH is and what we do, has begun working with our brand new Graphics Designer LT Tempest to polish and improve the looks of the flyer. Yay yay!.
-And to put the cherry on top of the pie of the great-projects-and-amazing-stuff-the-Kappa-pilots-are-doing, LT Reb Crush has announced he's going to make a Space Flight sim. Yeah, I said make. No, not bake, MAKE. He'll make a game with multiplayer support based on the EH universe and the interactions with other SW clubs on the net. He's in the needs of people to work with him, as he needs graphics, textures, sounds, models and all of that. If you are interested, mail him.
uhh...erm...WOW MAN!
-As there have been a huge delay in the uniforms update, and I don't have the time to catch up soon, I've decided to leave the position of Kappa Tailor. I'm still doing my own uni, and as it's easier, I'll continue to update the Flight suits. Therefore, as nobody wishes that his ID line become smaller (I'll write a psychological essay on ID size and ego. I know it has been done before, but not with ID lines, and I'm NOT telling which part of the male anatomy it is :P) because of that, I'm now the Kappa Flightsuit Maintenance Guy. Kinda like the Computer Guy from Saturday Night Live :p How geek does that sound? :p
Because all of this, anyone who wants to become the new Tailor, go ahead and apply, but only if you're willing to do the job.
-This week's Ol' Roasty's word o' advice: "Buy me a beer. A drunk man is an easily influenciable me. If not, ask the guy who made me pay drinks for him yesterday. I still don't remember who he was."
-Ah!, check out this: http://cgi.theforce.net/theforce/tfn.cgi?storyID=9466
Heh, heh, heh...

Squadron Orders
- For those on the Wing II League, fly FT 27 before March 10th and submit it to Algaron, of course CCing me.
- Submit to the Kappa Cadet Guide. PRIORITY!! We are down to 8 again, and I kinda liked the two figures thingee, so we must get some pilots ASAP :p

Miscellaneous
Some Wing II news:
- Sigma and Theta CMDRs promoted!
Congratulations to MAJ Artyis and MAJ Mick Emrys! ;)
- Sigma CMDR stepping down
After being promoted, MAJ Artyis has stepped down form Sigma's command. I want to say that it's been an honor to command by your side, as you are one of the finest officers I've met. May the Keg be with you on your new FM assignament, Artyis ;)
And I want to extend my congratulations to the newly appointed CMDR, the very own Fish Apprentice CPT Todbringer! Congrats dude ;)
- CPT Mordred Pendragon retires
Wing II is sad by his departure, and we all wish him good luck in the future, and we look forward to meet him as he drops by some time.
Now, onto some fleet news:
-Tactical Competition
A new competition, announced
by the Tactical Office, has been issued to the
entire Fleet. The Tactical Office is looking for a
new banner. All submissions must be in JPEG or GIF
format, and fit the "standard" banner size. All
submissions should be made to the Tactical Officer
(starlion@hutley.com), with the CA's
(pellaeon2000@cs.com , arsolimese@aol.com) cc'd.
Submissions are due by the end of the month.
- Emails...
Due to an unknown problem somewhere within the
tc.org, or internet, mailing system, several
emails from tc.org (Such as BSF Approval emails)
are being returned to me with "Undeliverable
mail." If you submit BSF's to your commander, and
do not get a BSF Approved email, please check your
profile first, and then email the TAC Office if
you still don't seem to have it.
- Graphics professor appointed
CM Daisuke Airyu of Cyclone squadron has been
appointed to the position of Graphics Professor.
The Graphics course will be up and operational in
a week or so. There are still lots of IWATS
positions open and they're listed at
http://www.imperialacademy.org/jobs.htm
- Star Wars Timeline help
I've been assigned to make a webpage regarding all
the Star Wars Films. Currently the EH doesn't have
one of these and RA Ramos and I feel it would be
good. I'm making the current template for it and
need some articles and pictures regarding Episode
I, II, etc. If you want to help out, e-mail
bhgian@home.com while CCing ehian@home.com.
Unit Patches
In an attempt to complete the OPS Office's archive
of unit patches, it is necessary that all
squadrons check http://www.emperorshammer.ca/opsoffice/squadpatches.htm
and make sure that if your squadron has a patch
and it is not on there, that it be submitted to
CA:OPS/VA Wet Willy at wetwilly@jedi.nu as soon as
possible. Also, if you have a patch on there, but
have a more recent one, please submit the new one.
IWATS positions
TIE Tactics, PHP and VBS professor positions are
now open. If you're interested in applying, check
out the details at http://www.imperialacademy.org/jobs.htm.
Cheating Reminder
The database has recently caught several cheaters
who were either sharing pilot files or stealing
pilot files (i.e. a CMDR takes his FM's pilot
files, renames them, and submits them to his WC as
the CMDR's own). These cases are currently being
investigated.
Keep in mind that the punishment for cheating for
FIRST TIME OFFENDERS is a demotion to
Sub-Lieutenant, loss of all medals (except the
OV), loss of all high scores, and a perm-ban
(which applies to all clones as well) off the
battle board and FCHG system. Repeat offenders are
expelled.
The rule is simple: One pilot file for one PIN #
only. Don't share your pilot file with friends.
Don't share your pilot file with clones to try to
get double the credit for the work done.
