Welcome to the Emperor's Hammer WWW-based gateway into Internet Relay Chat (IRC)...!  This has been created for those members who are not very familiar with IRC, but would like to attend Emperor's Hammer meetings (see below) and casual chat.

Please be SURE you review and understand the following online club regulations or you may face kick/banning from the EH IRC Channel (#Emperor's_Hammer) or affiliated IRC Channels:

     Articles of War
     Bylaws
     Disclaimers
     IRC Code of Conduct

Some Imperials Citizens may prefer more commands and direct control during their chat sessions by downloading 3rd party shareware called mIRC.  The EH IRC Channel is currently hosted on the UnderNet Network.

Please send any comments to the Fleet Commander (GA Astatine).

To use this WWW chat gateway to IRC, simply input your EH ID line where indicated below, and the nickname that you would like to use on IRC during the chat session, and click Connect...!

Online Conferences/Meetings

Weekly conferences are held on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) EVERY Saturday at 12 pm EST.  These conferences are an excellent opportunity for the Fleet to get together, and to talk about the latest events.  A briefing is also held by the Command Staff at each conference.

"...as with ALL EH online meetings/conferences, attendance is voluntary, NOT mandatory.  However, it is an amazing experience to talk to EH Members from all over the world at once.  We have had Members from South Africa, Sweden, Canada, Hong Kong, England, and the U.S. all "chatting" at once.  A LOT of fun and highly recommended by the Office of the Fleet Commander...!"

The Weekly HoloNet (IRC) meetings for the Fleet are held every Saturday at 12:00 Noon, Eastern Standard Time, on Undernet; channel #Emperor's_Hammer.  You can connect to any IRC server on the Undernet IRC network.

A commonly used Undernet IRC server is:

us.undernet.org - port 6667

Note:   Members attending the IRC meetings are asked to use a nickname that reflects their Rank and EH ScreenName. (i.e.: A nickname such as FAThreat or GN_Blake). The only exceptions to this rule are Squadron Commanders, who are asked to change their "nick" to reflect their Squadron. (i.e.: Alpha Squadron Commander becomes AlphaCMDR).  This is due to the fact that it can become confusing as to who is who, and it makes identification much easier.
