IW Mania: 04.02.04
As Emailed From:
Infiltrator
Wing Commander (AD Silvori)
Infiltrator Wing
<salute>
Sirs and masters of the emperors hammer.
The infiltrator wing would like to invite all of the other sub groups and tie
corps fleet to partake in the infiltrator wing melee for the month of April.
The melee event is a lot like the old EH ladder and because its maintained by
Fleet admiral moreco, Its impossible to cheat on. Or near as you can get, with
IP and other traps on it, to keep the melee honest.
The melee has been in effect for a lot of years and it is great activity for the
Sub group I command. but this month we have events, as part of the IW mania
campaign.
One of these Events it to make the IW Melee IW Wide. All games shall be
played with EH ladder rules ( normal melee rules ) and include all ships in XVT
and XWA, including capital ships.
The tie corps and Sith order I would imagine, would be the main takers of this
challenge, Hence the people CC'ed in this email. But any person in the emperors
hammer may fly in the Event.
I would like to make the Rewards the following
Tie corps
1 - Iron Star - Platinum Wings
2 - Iron Star - Gold wings
3 - Iron Star - Silver wings
Dark brotherhood
1 - Silver nova
2 - Bronze nova
3 - Crescent
Infiltrator wing
1 - Victory cross
2 - cross of bravery
3 - War cross
These awards of course are just suggestions, but I believe it would be nice to
have a complete war of the SGs in these multiplayer events.
Judging the success of this venture, might also lead to other ladder events,
using other platforms. I am open to suggestions of course, but the melee
database will be ready and I would like the competition to start
Start - Tuesday April 13th
End - Monday 10th of may
These dates are to account for the amount of leave, we will all suffer from on
the Easter holidays.
IW vrs the EH Melee rules
All games will be 5/5
All games will be reported by the victor on the main database.
There is a max game cap of 10 games per participants. ( meaning you can only fly
the same pilot 10 times )
Melee games will be fought in the same craft
All challenges will be accepted in the #The_infiltatrator_wing channel only
I am aware that most EH events are played in the EHCoC channel, but this is
infiltrator wing mania month after all.
I welcome your comments and suggestions and ask for approval for this
competition to take place. We have a week to make the arrangements
Respectfully,

I have served in a variety of positions from trooper to Executive Officer of the
Legion and from all accounts have done extremely well at all.
As for what I can do for the Legion in the future... Most of the projects that
have occurred over the past year or two were either completed under my watch in
Training or Operations.
Thank you for your time in this matter.
Signed,
Dante

Congratulations, Dante !
3 New Fleet Advisors Appointed
(LA/MO/RTO): 04.06.04
As Submitted By:
Fleet Commander
(GA Ronin)
After some consideration (and a while to receive a decent amount of
Applicants for MO and LA), I have selected the following candidates to serve in
these advisory positions.
Lord Ambassador (LA)
ENV/CPT Siterath Goersase/DREAD
Tranquility (promoted to Rear Admiral)
The other highly qualified Applicants were:
Fleet Commander's Note:
Sitherath is well known and respected in the Advanced Guard, having
already secured 3 Alliances to date !
Medical Officer (MO)
PMO/MAJ Jedi Eclipse/TFC
Ambassador (promoted to Rear Admiral)
The other two highly qualified Applicants were:
Fleet Commander's Note:
This was a particularly tough decision for me. I have always
considered the Position of MO to be a conifdant and aide to the EH Membership.
A designated doctor or medical liaison to whom someone could approach with a
problem or question. As such, the choice requires me to consider many
factors that other CS do not have to focus on, such as ability to counsel
Members, be discreet and provide strong and confident leadership and direction.
Think of the Medical Staff as 'counselors' to the hard-pressed Imperial
forces on the frontier...Namely the Outer Rim...
Congratulations to
Jedi
Eclipse...Make us proud !
Rebel Tactical Officer (RTO)
AD Jacob Van Nowak
Fleet Commander's Note:
Although this Position was long held by former XO, HA Pappy, I have not
heard from Pappy in a long time...I wish him well and hope he returns to RTO
soon...
In the interim, the EH must go on...as such, the RTO will manage and
handle our relations with online "Rebel" clubs to improve relations with them
and the EH...Without violating our current policies and Alliances/Enemies... :)
My thanks to ALL of the fine applicants...these decisions are getting
harder and harder >:)

The Combat Operations Office is proud to present the EH Ladder System. This
website is a multiplayer gaming tool that can be used by any subgroup within the
EH. The ladders work on they typical system of ranking players by wins vs
losses. Any interested SGCO or Flag/Equiv can contact me and I will set their
ladder up. The website can be found at

XO Report 30: 04.04.04
A new newsletter is out, #102. You can get it at http://www.ehdb.org/nl/nl102.zip
It's about 4.5megs. Mirrors should be up once the LO sorts it out. As always,
I'm looking for more submissions. Send them to jpboyce@indigo.net.au All the
LoAs for the NL have been submitted for processing.
With the DB loot system's first phase complete and most of the DB's site
operational, I'll have some more free time to deal with XO stuff. Part of the
problem I've been experiencing lately is the sheer volume of spam
my account has been receiving. An average day is 50-100 emails with maybe 5
emails being items relating to EH work that require my attention. The end result
of this might be me changing to another account for EH use because of this.
One issue that's come up recently has been conduct of those involved in the EHBL
project, especially in response to some of the more negative commentary. Those
who've been around long enough will realize that this is a classic baiting
tactic - say something inflammatory in the hope of dragging down the other side
into a base slanging match. Then they can accuse you of being a mean bastard.
Such baiting should just be
ignored. These people put out the comment solely to get a reaction from COs, the
sort of reaction that will bolster their argument.
Another issue is some COs who think they've reached a certain zen point, a
"comfort" zone where they think a minimal output of a report a week and a bit
here and there will cover themselves. That's not on. If you want "comfort", go
back to being a FM. No one said that being a CO should or would be easy and
those COs who are partaking in this will start to feel some pressure. By not
pushing that 110%, you're letting
the whole team down and reflecting badly upon COs as a group.
That's about it.

the problems will be solved, soon...

JA and SWGB:
Please submit any SWGB battles and missions to me. We will add them to our

Tactical Office Report #134: 04.04.04
Introduction:
Well. March is over, so it's time to award my staff members, for their hard
work. I will be evaluating the performance of my TCCs, TCHC and CA:TAC and award
them with appropriate medals. So guys, expect cookie soon. On the other news, I
have few new battles to release, so expect them in compendium soon, probably
later today. Also, it seems that EHBL does not have as many problems as certain
people claimed. So everything goes smooth and by the numbers.
Cheating:
There were two cases this week. One was closed and we consider it a silly joke,
the second one will probably result with expulsion. Oh well, it seems some
people cannot leave without EH, even if EH does not want them. What can I say?
;P
JA and SWGB:
Submit any SWGB battles and missions to me. We will add them to our mission
compendium. Also, we need someone to write SWGB Mission Creation Course. I am
sure TO will gladly approve it. Also, don't forget we have JA in mission
compendium. Make more levels :)
SWGB Mission Creation course:
From what I've heard from COL Master, SWGB MC course has been proposed to TO and
approved, so Master will now start working on this. Expect it online pretty
soon.

Flight Office Report #25: 03.26.04
<Salute>
The TC membership count is up to 1,696 members. Of this number here is the
current makeup of the Tie Corps:
SSSD Sovereign [101]
Wing I [27]
Wing II [32]
Wing III [20]
Wing IV [21]
TIE Corps Battlegroups [107]
ISD Colossus [30]
Wing VIII [29]
ISD Relentless [25]
Wing IX [24]
ISD Challenge [29]
Wing X [28]
ISD Immortal [22]
Wing XI [21]
Aggressor Strike Force [135]
ISD Grey Wolf [55]
Wing XIII [54]
ISD Intrepid [40]
Wing XIV [39]
ISD Vanguard [39]
Wing XV [38]
Avenger Task Force [103]
SSD Avenger [68]
Wing XVIII [35]
Wing XIX [32]
ISD Subjugator [34]
Wing XX [33]
Currently there are 446 members in the Tie Corps not including the Elite
squadron totals. Three Wings under 25 pilots while the rest hover around 30 or
so members or more. I'd like to have all wings with at least 25 or more members,
so the goal of the wings with less than 25 should be to create a highly active
atmosphere through competition to attract more members...
This being said, the Cadet Placement page is up on the Flight Office Site
http://flightoffice.minos.net. Once
at the site, go to the left side menu and click on the cadet placement link.
I've had the BGCOM's go over the page and they have accepted it. The page lays
out what platform each wing and ship in the TC hosts, and gives a list of
squadrons in the TC that are in need of members. My goal is to have the Cadets
view this page and see if they would fit into a slot on one of the low membered
squadrons. It does not take the place of recruitment, but is a guideline for the
Cadets to follow should they be unsure of where to go.
With my work load demand in RL, many of you are well aware of my inability to
attend the TC meetings and some EH meetings from week to week. Though I can
always be reached by mail, and have a few hours of turn around time, I do feel
that the meetings are important. This being said, VA Styles has agreed to step
aside as FOA, both due to his CA:TAC duties and my need for a consistent
emissary for the meetings. For his service to the FO as FOA, I have awarded him
a Silver Star of the Empire. Thanks Styles! VA Khadgar has been named the new
FOA, and his primary duty is to attend the EH meeting as my emissary should I
not be able to attend and to moderate the weekly TC meetings.
This From the Science Office:
For Imperial Alliance, the game we are working on, we need graphics of your
unit and squadron patches. These you will then be able to use in-game. The
graphics requirements are:
Graphics need to be 2d (front view, not under an angle)
preferably 128x128 or larger. (can be smaller, but then it will be displayed
smaller as well)
Any graphics file format.
Approved by either OPS or the unit commanding officer.
Currently we already have old patches of the ASF, Butcher, Cobra, Copperhead,
Dagger, Fury, the ISD Intrepid, the ISD Vanguard, Kappa, Krayt, Mantis, Psi,
Python, Scorpion, Spectre, the SSD Avenger, Storm, Tartarus, Theta, Valkyrie and
Wasp.
If you don't want your own unit or squad to be left out, or think you have a
newer graphic then already used - send your graphics to The Science Office (DCC
also accepted.)
I highly recommend that all units in the TC furnish these to the SO. This game
looks quite interesting and your units should be represented!
The Combat Operations Office has released the Multi Subgroup Ladder System. This
website allows any members of the EH to create and organize a multiplayer ladder
competition. Any Flags interested in using the system can contact me to get
started. You can find the website at
http://ladders.minos.net. This is a great tool and should be utilized for
your MP events!
My Rant of the week:
Recently there was an issue of a Commander being removed from position by his
flags, for perceived abuse of the AWOL procedure and for failing to use the
Chain of Command properly. I want to reiterate to everyone here and now, that
the Flag officers of each ship and from the BGCOM of the BG's have the authority
to remove any pilot from a position, that they deem to be doing a sub par job,
or if they violate any of the AoW codes of conduct. It is their decision, and if
push comes to shove, I will ultimately decide on the side of the Flag Officers
unless there are mitigating circumstances. I encourage all pilots to view the
FSO's, and the SoP's of their ships. Learn them and live by them!
That's it from the Flight Office....

A bug report page for EHBL has been paced at
http://ortho.minos.net
I encourage everyone to use it to report any bugs that should arise with the
program.
There is a new Wing Commanders course that can be found here
http://to.minos.net/wm
I highly encourage each and every WC to take the course, and encourage all
pilots with thoughts and designs on becoming WC to take the course as well!
Congratulations to GN Gidda WC WIng XIV on the ISD Intrepid for his promotion to
the rank of General. This rank is one of the most presidios ranks in the TC, and
GN Gidda has earned it ten fold. Congrats to him!
Well, that's about it from the Flight Office,

Internet Office Report #136
March 26, 2004
:: [ Internet Office News ] ::
Squadfirst 2.0.2 has been released. This release is just a minor update to some
of the links. However, this also serves as an announcement that SquadFirst is
under a new maintainer, the CA:IO, Admrial Robert Dura has taken up maintaining
Squadfirst.
To assist with the maintance of Squadfirst, The Internet Office's Bug Killer,
Ortho http://ortho.minos.net/, has been
reactivated. Currently it is accepting bug reports for Squadfirst. But
eventually plans on contianing the bug reports for all IO Projects.
Some new hosting accounts may have difficulty viewing files they've uploaded.
This is because some of the new accounts do not contain a public_html folder. To
solve the issue, users should simply create a folder called public_html in their
FTP directory, then upload all their files into the public_html folder.
Development of emperorhsammer.org continues. AD Turtle continues to work on the
administration backend involving adding/editing/deleting news articles. HA Ari
is working on the front display pages. In terms of display, the main things that
need finishing are Site of the Week and News Archives.
Work on the Emperor's Hammer Image Archive has started. FA
AbsoluteK has graciously agreed to take back up the mantle of IA Developer.
Expect further updates as time continues.

April 4, 2004
:: [ Internet Office News ] ::
Sorry for the late report once again, it's been a hectic week and I will be
unavailable for certain parts of it (i.e. Monday-Wednesday, as well as next
Monday & Tuesday) due to Passover.
EH.org development has slowed down this week due to an unforeseen circumstance.
However, the design has been altered so as to comply with new specifications and
things should hopefully get back on track shortly.
Just a reminder, The Internet Office's Bug Killer, Ortho
http://ortho.minos.net/, has been set up
to track bugs for SquadFirst, as well as the EHBL, and various other projects.
Some people may have been having trouble with Minos.net this past week. The
issue causing this has been fixed (it was a lack of memory - the memory on the
server is being upgraded).

Training Office Report #33: 03.28.04
<SALUTE>
Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to the 33rd Training Office Report!
This report is later than I had anticipated. I would like to blame the exciting
international jet-setting lifestyle that I lead. But that would be a lie.
Admiral Darksaber has launched a Competition Consultancy service; open to all
members of the Emperor's Hammer. This service will give members' assistance in
formulating new competition ideas - big or small - and help in running their
competitions. The Admiral can be contacted at darksaber@minos.net.
Captain Chris Cox is the Professor of the new Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds
IWATS Course, found at:
http://swgbiwats.minos.net/. I urge you all to take it today!
Dark Jedi Master Gelton Torr has been appointed as Obelisk Phase II Pontiff.
This is in-part thanks to his sterling recruitment efforts for the Obelisk
Order. My thanks are extended to Sirik Xirok, the former Pontiff, for his work.
Sith Battlelord Daniel Goad has taken over the reigns of Sith Phase II Pontiff.
I have compiled a recent complete Graduate Count for IWATS, which can be found
below. The last count was published in September, and therefore the numerical
increase since then is cited where possible. The Professors of those Courses
highlighted with a little blue 'equals' may be promptly taken outside and shot.
Core [{IWATS}]: 5,895 [+186]
Squadron Management [SM/3 & Prior]: 1,368 [+48]
Computer Basics [CBX]: 750
Linux [LIN]: 149 =
HTML [IIC/1/2/3]: 958 [+115]

AOL Instant Messenger [AIM]: 481 [+42]
BitchX [BX]: 45 [+20]
TIE Fighter Tactics [TT]: 315 [+13]
XvT Tactics [XTT]: 350 =
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter Mission Creation [XTM/1/2]: 337 [+14] / 107
X-Wing: Alliance Mission Creation [XAM]: 104
TIE Fighter Mission Creation [TM/1/2]: 217 [+161] / 7
Rebellion Tactics [RT]: 400 =
OPTing Course [OPT]: 6 [+1]
Trillian [TRL]: 50
Internet Basics [IBX]: 100
Tactical Staff [TAC]: 36
Multiplayer [MP]: 129
TOTAL: 14,720 Graduates [+1,060]
Since September 2003 - approximately a six month period - there
have been over one thousand more IWATS Graduates. However, if one is to consider
IWATS Core to be an accurate judge of active TIE Corps membership, there has
only been an increase of 186 in half a year. Therefore general TC membership may
be rising, but barely.
On a similar note, 223 Initiates have passed the Apprentice Studies within the
Shadow Academy since the process became automated. I can no longer calculate the
manual figures from before that time because the individual e-mails have now
been deleted.
Commander Trido has been awarded a Gold Star of the Empire for his service to
the Training Office.
Work continues on the Emperor's Hammer 'university' project. This institution
will be a central academic body for the EH, offering Bachelors and Masters
degrees, accompanied by the possibility of doctoral study. Most SubGroup
academies will be heavily involved in this institution once the idea is ready to
go gold. Any questions can be directed to me at
keldorn@btopenworld.com. The
Imperial Senate, Dark Brotherhood and Intelligence Division have been given
further information concerning this project.
Rear Admiral Drako continues to work on the EH Top Gun project with the Combat
Operations Officer: Work is now underway on the coding of the automated
tracking/management system, while the COO has completed the work required by his
Office.
:: [ TIE Corps Standing Orders ] ::
I. Forward Dating of Competitions: 13th March 2003
All forward dating of Competitions (with very select exceptions) beyond a term
of 3 consecutive months will be prohibited. This time-span should be more than
enough for the Ship and Wing competitions that are run. If after that 3 month
period, the competition concept will continue, the applicable Officer will need
to recommend it once more.
II. Denial of Combat Rating 'Races': 21st March 2003
All internal unit Combat Rating 'Races' competitions will be denied. I would
like to highlight the emphasis on “internal unit competitions”; this only
applies to a competition involving one unit (Squadron, Wing etc.) and not to a
inter-unit competition – I.e. Squadron vs. Squadron, Wing vs. Wing etc.
:: [ Dark Brotherhood Directives ] ::
I. Recovery of Shadow Academy Graduates: 29th August 2003
If you would like a Course listed on your profile from before the 'split', send
an e-mail with the subject 'SA Profile' to hm@darkbrotherhood.org. Please note
that this only includes SA courses, and not general IWATS courses (at this
time).
II. Lowering of Multiplayer Requirements to One Match: 13th March 2004
All new Sith and Obelisk Initiates within the Dark Brotherhood must complete one
(1) MP match to graduate from Phase II of their Apprentice Studies. Single
player requirements for the Sith Order remain the same.

Same old same old. The spring is always a time of primary inactivity among the

rather, as I write.

Science Office Report #37: 04.04.04
"A scientist works from sun to sun, but his lab rat's work is
never done."
<salute>
Welcome to my thirty-seventh public report as a Science Officer, gratuitously
late cause of getting involved into work on Imperial Alliance. But that means
there's more to report:
Science Office News:
1. Thanks to the Internet Office we now have a bug tracking site for EHBL, SCO
Patches and Imperial Alliance (though that's perhaps a bit early). If you have
problems running any of these go to
http://ortho.minos.net and there you can see if your problem already has a
solution or you can ask for
more help.
2. Our project of "Imperial Alliance", the Star Wars Flightsim
using the Freespace 2 engine is basically racing ahead. A layout of what has
been done recently:
" We have our own exe's now which display the animated techroom
craft in craft selection amongst others. This comes with its own new launcher
and new mission editor, which allows for example all the additional backdrops we
added.
" Interface changes on the Registration Desk, the Concourse, the
Battle Room, Combat Chamber, Film Room, Techroom, (Thanks to Tempest) an in-game
TC uniform generator and a fully operational barracks section. This lets you
display your own face of choice, squad patch and TC uniform and manage your
pilotfiles.
" We replaced all backdrops like planets, stars and nebula's and
all the briefing icons (which was quite a lot of boring work *g*).
" Changes to the in-flight HUD targeting systems.
" More updates on craft, like fixing bugs with the ISD and TRN
and we've added red turbo lasers and asteroids:)
" Released a new Beta Phase with all of these features to
http://www.minos.net/~sco/test/ImperialAllianceb30.zip
3. Because Imperial Alliance displays squadron patches, I'm
asking all unit commanders to send in the uniform patch of their squadron, wing,
house, clan, whatever you want. The full request and the requirements are on
http://www.emperorshammer.net/news.asp?days=14#3092 On that same topic I'd
like to thank all the officers that have already sent in their patches. And
folks: its not just for the TIE Corps.:)
4. I'd also like to thank MAJ Chris McCollum and FA Priyum Patel
for sending in quite a few of the graphics I requested earlier. For you others:
I'm looking for original art of battles, craft looking cool and other such
material. Minimum resolution should be about 400x300.
5. CM Timmay has set up a forum just for the project at
http://hosting.infiltrator-wing.com/phpbb2 - if you want to help out in the
testing department, or just want to have previews/early access of what we are
doing, you are advised to go and check it out. Registering makes sure you will
receive email notices of next beta phases and other such matters. Do report a
bug that you come across though, that's what testing is about.
6. Closing up it seems we've been getting some very good press
outside the EH based on Den's latest release of screenshots. With a bit of luck
it draws in members before it's even released. The screenshots are at
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=1658 but I've also added one to the
report.
Science Office Status:
CA: Admiral Darkhill has made numerous new versions of our Imperial Alliance exe
file, which include changes to accommodate our own new interface, made a new
version our launcher and of our mission editor. He also received a MoT-gh for
his mission.
SCOA: CM Tim has set up the Imperial Alliance forum and released
the first Beta phase of all craft in X-W. He also has added asteroids, rebel
turbo lasers and fixed the X-W.
Site: The Science Office site can be found at
http://sco.minos.net or via the redirect
http://scienceoffice.isCool.net.
The mirror can be found at
http://www.gimmie.tudelft.nl/homes/blok10b/ender/sco. No major updates.
Science Office Projects:
Imperial Alliance: With the release of the freely available source code of FS2,
we have started on making a Star Wars game out of it. We can freely distribute a
finished game as long as we have all our own data files
(graphics, sounds, models etc). Renamed to "Imperial Alliance". About all craft
from X-Wing have been added and most of the interface has been replaced. A new
beta phase has been launched.
Currently all other projects are on hold till we can make it a standalone game,
which won't need FS2 anymore. Current beta version is still a mod on that.
Making it standalone won't make it finished though, but it will be a good
milestone.:)
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 or look us up at
#science_office. 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 #science_office, #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 but they are on the TIE Corps site, CS reports, as well.
Until next time, good luck and have fun!

Logistics News
1. After wrestling with the question of if the Codex should be part of the LO
site, I have decided that it shouldn't. This will allow the codex to continue on
as it has done previously independently of the LO that was using it. The new
look for the EH Codex is now complete. It can be perused at
http://codex.lusankya.org/.
2. Now that the Codex framework has been created, it is now up to those of us in
the Logistics Office to fill it with all that information. To this end, Emails
will be sent out to every SGCOM in the next week asking them to prepare
histories of their SG from a fictional standpoint. The Dark Brotherhood already
has a leg up on the rest of the EH with the information contained within the
Dark Side Compendium, and that is the form that the Codex will hope to contain
for all other SG's and the EHCS eventually as well.
3. As the SOD has not been stepping up for work on the Memorium, I think that
the LO will have to take over heading up this one. I'd like to see any work that
anyone has done for the Memorium or info that should be included in it sent to
me ASAP ( xanderdrax@lusankya.org
). This project will be worked on concurrently with the Codex, as both will most
likely be long term projects.
4. The Logistics Office is still looking for a copy of Newsletter 100. I know
that it's out there, and I really would like a copy of it. It is the last
newsletter that is needed for the archives, as all others are there in zip form
at least. This NL isn't that old, so please look around to see if you may be one
of those that has it.

Sith High Warrior
Despite the closure of the application period on Wednesday, I am still
deliberating on the selection of a new Sith High Warrior. Until I announce the
new leader of the Sith Order, all correspondence that would normally go to the
SHW should be addressed to me.
New Satal Keto Consul
The new Consul of Clan Satal Keto is Dark Jedi Knight Osan'gar. I look forward
to seeing what he can do with the Clan.
Force Powers Update
The Think Tank has been engaged in lengthy discussion this week on numerous
topics relating to the Force Powers update. Some of these ideas should soon see
their way into a draft proposal I'll be writing on the new Force Powers system.
Meeting/MP Comp Attendance
I am pleased to see the increased numbers in attendance at the DB meeting and #kaiburr
multiplayer competitions. I encourage all Dark Jedi to turn up to events like
these, they can often be rather fun and I may even be providing greater
incentive for attendance/participation in the future (details are "Top Secret"
:P).
My Escort Squadron Rules!
A big shout out to Tau Squadron, the DB elite, which continues to prove itself a
mighty multiplayer force in the EH and the wider SW gaming community.
GM Report #13: 04.04.04
"The Obelisk, the few and proud, are on the rise again - and
be wary, foes, they will not take prisoners." - Dark Side Adept Michael Halcyon
Sith High Warrior Undecided
I still have not picked a Sith High Warrior, because it is quite hard to find
someone who has the qualities I am looking for. I don't want to install a
'caretaker' Sith High Warrior, but rather someone with the energy and ideas to
take the Order in new directions. We're more than 4 years into the 21st century
now, time to roll.
Obelisk High Commander Retires
After many months as the High Commander of the Obelisk Order, Dark Side Adept
Michael Halcyon has reluctantly stepped down to pursue his academic interests.
Mike has done a great job ushering in the recent rise of the Order to some
semblance of its former glory, and will be sadly missed by the warriors of the
Obelisk. In recognition of his excellent contribution to his Order and the
Brotherhood, I hereby award Mike the Emerald Dagger! Wear it with pride wherever
the Dark Side takes you, friend.
Vacancy: Obelisk High Commander
I am not currently taking applications for the position of Obelisk High
Commander, as I am talking directly with certain people who I feel would be
suited to the job.
Imperial Alliance
The other day I gave the collection of DB clan/house emblems to the EH Science
Officer, so now the DB will be represented in the upcoming Imperial Alliance mod
for Freespace.
Force Powers Update
Discussions have somewhat stalled this week, but that's mainly my fault for not
attempting to push the talk on into a more productive direction. I will be
writing up my own initial skeleton plan on the new system for the group's
discussion sometime this week.

It's coming. Check the Message Board in the next day or two for information.

IWCOM Report #18: 03.25.04
Floating through the debris field of the alien ships, The MC-80
Saratoga and her support squadron Begin to scan the wreckage and gather more
information about their attackers. This field of dead ships has turned out to be
some kind of trap. A trap the Saratoga herself nearly fell into. Had it not been
for the appearance of the Renegade and black squadron who where both nearby, The
Saratoga might not have survived.
On the bridge of the mon calamari cruiser, Admiral silvori sits in silence. The
IWCOM reads the battle report and is most intrigued by the stealth technology
employed here by the alien vessels. Major Varna, please open a channel to black
squadron.

squadron in the area, Did you take any losses ? "
"That's a negative DM, One of the newbie's took a little more battle damage that
I would have liked, but she has docked with the Renegade for repairs, Other than
that we are ok." Replies the black commander.
"Well, Once she is back in space, Please jump back to the NEO with the
information we are sending you. I have a job for her."
"Its coming through now sir, you sure you want us to leave" Drak replies.
"No, replies the IWCOM. but be sure, I have my reasons"
Admiral silvori watches as the analogues of the 11 Xwings banks towards to
Renegade and out of the Wreckage of alien vessels, Major Varna, If you would be
so kind as to patch me through to the Renegade please.
She smiles "yes sir"
"Brent good timing, They did not expect you from behind and the surprise seem to
shock them into leaving. Excellent work"
"Sir, This is Major Nicol Bolas, I am afraid a Energy torpedo hit the bridge and
Brent has been Taken into the infirmary"
"I see " Replies the admiral
"I was in the engine room, helping to perfect the new drive modifications
introduced by Rear Admiral Timmy, When we got the call for war. Once we realized
the bridge was gone, I took command from engineering Sir"
" see, The ship was commanded well during the battle, And you followed orders,
something I admire in a space battle. I am promoting you to the rank of
lieutenant colonel and placing you as Commodore of the Mc-90 Renegade, Least
until Brent is up and running once more."
"Yes sir" A surprised sounding major replies.
"LC bolas, I have sent scorpion after our alien friends, Once they have found
there base and the true extent of there size, I am sending the fleet in to wipe
them out. However, I would like one of there fighters captured to analyze the
cloaking technology they are using, Take the ship to .3 .12 .045 and head to a
system called Arthun. Once there, I want you to survey the outer most planet and
send fighters to patrol the system"
"OK sir, may I ask why" Replies The new Commodore
"Of course, I believe our new friends to have a supply base at the second planet
from the sun, I however am not sure at this time. Make me sure Commodore"
With in a few minutes, The renegade banks out of the Debris Field and towards
the hyperspace route. Walking through the ship, Adren feels a disturbance in the
force, Since the IWCOM does not actively use the force, this troubles him
somewhat. Finding the source of the disturbance does not take long and the trail
ends in the main hangar bay.
An alien roughly 6' in height lies on the floor, his head separated from the
rest of his body. They look reptilian in nature don't they my friend.
Admiral malik, Extiuingishing his blade turns to his friend
"Yes sir, I believe this thing is SSI ruuk, He has told my the location of the
fleet they came from and you are not going to like it"
The admiral smiles "I never like anything my friend, spit it out"
"They have a supply base in the Athrun system, They have 12 warships there,
These are only scouts"
Admiral malik turns to judge his friends reaction to realize he is standing in
the hangar on his own ...
--------------------------------------------------------------
My report is a little early this week, As due to the Damage
taken in the battle, My engineers are removing my Holonet as the main array was
damaged. I expect it to be working to its full effect on Monday morning once
again, but I shall be out of contact until then. If you have a pressing command
issue, please contact Vice Admiral boliv for clearance or guidance.
The main news of this week of course, If the Fact After just accepting the job
LC Brent Tainer has decided to step down from the position of commodore, I
respect his decision as RL circumstances changed and he believes it better to
quit than to suck at the Job. At least we agree on that.
I opened applications the Same day for the position and I was happy to find a
replacement so soon. LC Bolas will be the new Renegade commodore and should be
addressing the crew in the not to distant future. The bridge of the Renegade
however is under repair at the moment, So be patient, I am sure it will be with
us in the next 24 hours :)
Report content And Email protocol
I have seen some excellent reports in the last couple of weeks, The role-playing
element of this club is such, That we show must krath how things should be done.
This might seem like a shocking statement to some in the group as most of us
view the krath with some contempt :) Buts its nice to see the Events taking
shape and its better to see, Everyone is playing a part in the story, that has
been created and trying to get into character.
Excellent work everyone.
I have just one complaint however' I would like to ensure all emails sent to
superiors have the <Salute> Tag at the start and end of every email as
well as a full idline.
These things are protocol and I would like them observed.
Excellent week everyone and good activity all round. !

IWCOM Report #19: 04.03.04
The Saratoga has been in bad shape this week, the battle against
the SSi Ruk has taken its toll and our engineers have been really busy fixing
the damage. A rebel convoy whom the Saratoga was following last week, Has been
informed of our large lizard friends and the danger it once again represents.
one of the scorpion pilots, has some Intel on these creatures as he is from
bakura and I like not what I am hearing.
The fleet is now on the highest form of alert, and I am expecting rebel
communication anytime soon. Of course we are the infiltrator wing, so please
don't divulge we are imperials to them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to another exciting IWCOM report. Its here, that's right it is now the
month of April and IW mania is about to begin. Many many competitions are in the
pipeline in the coming days, as we up through the gears to bring fun and
excitement to everyone in the infiltrator wing and even let the other sub groups
in on the fun.
Infiltrator wing melee goes EH Wide.
On the 7th of April. The infiltrator wing melee database will be reset. and the
Entire emperor's hammer will be invited to join. I urge no pilots to play any
games, once the database is reset until the 7th of April.
While the medals are not approved yet, I am very excited about the prospect of
seeing people from all over the emperors hammer. in the main IW channel
challenging each other to melee games. I just hope we can show them who is best.
Should you have clones in the tie corps, You must decide from the word go, which
persona will be flying in the melee events. Since we are inviting them, I would
hope all active IWers will be choosing the greatest fleet in the galaxy......
ours :)
IW Melee rules
All games will be 5/5
All games will be reported by the victor on the main database.
There is a max game cap of 10 games per participants. ( meaning you can only fly
the same pilot 10 times )
Melee games will be fought in the same craft
All challenges will be accepted in the #The_infiltatrator_wing channel only
Several other command staff and the commodore's have events planned. so keep
your joysticks plugged in and your thinking caps on !
SQUADRONS PRIDE II RESULTS
Winning squadron - black squadron ( second time )
Runner up - Razor squadron
Winning pilots XWA Section
1 - Colonel Drak ( Black squadron )
2 - LC Jania ( razor squadron )
Winning pilots Tie Section
1 - MAJ Zeth Durron ( Razor squadron )
2 - Colonel Drak ( black squadron )
I would like to thank everyone who partook in the competition and I would like
to congratulate those who got medals. There will be no IWCOMs competition this
month, as IW Mania will have so many events, it would place a strain on the
commanders. So, black are IWCOM's escort for the next two months. Well done.
EPISODE III NEWS
As well as explaining Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader Episode
III will also introduce us to a new bad guy.
General Grevious may have a duff name, but you ’d be well advised not to
laugh at this half robot/half alien.
The new villain is a military leader in the Separatist Army and is described by
Empire magazine as a “master strategist and the greatest hand-to-hand Jedi
killer the galaxy has ever known”.
It’s fair to assume he will play a large part in the destruction of the
Jedi Knights.
There has also been increasing speculation that the final film will be called
Star Wars: Episode III – The Creeping Fear
The new name has received a muted welcome from fans. They seem to prefer either
Revenge of the Sith or The Fall of the Jedi.
I'm sure we all look forward to seeing the end result
PROMOTIONS NEWS
it give me great pleasure this week, to promote Talon NemesiS Karrde to the rank
of General. Talon has been a fine example to many, as his activities while often
in shadow. Are most impressive and frequent.
My sincere congratulations General Karrde

DP Report #159: 03.26.04
Hello again, from the friendly, well more blaster toting
hostility, but still the Bounty Hunters Guild.
This has been another exciting week as we continue to have fun as we make our
way towards summer. IRC President is one step closer to being a reality. We
finished up the voting for the primaries and narrowed down the candidates to Re
Eson with Vice President Kailani vs. Slicer with Vice President Reaver ( who due
to military service, is kicking taliban arse in Afghanistan). Also this week was
held the IRC Debate where the candidates fielded various questions from hunters.
All that participated had great fun, and the log is posted on our message board.
Next week will be the primary elections, we will bring you the results of
course.
The Arena tournament is near the end! It has been going on for a long time, and
after several grueling matches, Jodo, Korathen, and Hiko are the only one's left
standing. Good luck to them, and as the finals are taken care of this week, we
will announce a winner!
Great news on the Kabal Authority front. The Judicator Ehart Dak`wind has gotten
his internet access back, which means good or bad news for the chiefs..
depending on how good they are doing their jobs! In preparation for his return,
the always distinguished Red Scar has held a 2 vs. 2 IKC, to prime up our kabals
for the inevitable Kabal Authority Games that will be on the horizon.
BHG Idol? How the heck does that work? The Executor Jernai will let you know
soon, just too keep you entertained by giving you this little teaser, as the BHG
is always bringing innovations to its activities.
Until next week,
Thank you for your time.

2. New *Public* ‘Public Relations’ Branch Opens
The new branch is called PR and its pretty similar to the PR we had back when
Diploserv was around. This branch is quite unique from the others in the ID.
First of all its fully public, that means that you can go off and post your ID
line publicly, that's right you will BE A PUBLIC AGENT. Also you wont be doing
regular missions, instead you will be utilizing your creativity to work on
special projects run by me and also working on getting the Comlink turned into
something regular.
By being a part of this branch you will be able to do something a little
different to what you would otherwise normally do not only as a member of the
intelligence division but also as a member of the EH in general. An added bonus
is that those joining up wont have to do the general intel exam, you'll go
straight into the branch and be able to get to work on designing new graphics
and helping to coordinate new activities.
Interested? Well, if you are I guess now would be the time to outline what we
are looking for and how to join.
Basic requirements:
1. Good creative skills
- What we mean here is basically if you are strong with graphics, web design
etc.
2. Online Presence
- As a public member you will be an ambassador of the intelligence division, as
such we'd prefer it if you were on irc a bit or posted on the boards regularly
to help promote a positive image of the ID.
3. Be able to work well in a team
- This is important as you will be working with the rest of the members of PR
and will be forming a collective unit aimed at completing particular tasks to
deadlines and to the best of your ability.
Preferable requirements:
1. Good Sense of Humour
- Ultimately, I want people who would like to just have fun while getting their
projects done so if you're up for a laugh come apply.
So those are our requirements, if you think you fit the bill then send a 'cv'
basically explaining to us what you can bring to PR and if coming in as graphic
or webby person then some proof of your work. If you don't think you fit the
bill entirely but are still interested in joining then apply to us anyway as
we'd love to hear from everyone interested.
Recruitment is ongoing so no deadline will be set just yet, but remember spaces
for now are limited so the sooner you apply the better.
Applications should be sent to:
bored_of_darkness@yahoo.co.uk with the subject: PR Branch Application.
3. RA Scrier on Leave 01/04/04 - 20/04/04
Unfortunately due to a heavy workload in RL, Scrier will be on leave for the
next 2/3 weeks or so. Please send any urgent RADR material to me (bored_of_darkness@yahoo.com)
during this time.

Greetings,
Gonna try to abridge reports so information is more readily
accessible. I think that a lot of things I say in reports fall through to cracks
because there's a lot to read. So, I'll keep it short this week and see how it
goes.
1) New HCT chosen! Please welcome Coranel to the position of HCT! He's been
invaluable in bringing some life back into the Colonial Branch! Superlative job!
Good luck in your new position!
2) MoO Wisal Pol-Jo is on a leave of absence. DGMF Orzon has taken over his
duties in the interim. However, please remember that any major proposals need to
be sent to me. :)
3) Medals are being tallied for the Run-On from the Yridia Competition! Its been
a hectic week, so the weekend is my best bet for getting in there and reading
those posts! Expect to be handsomely compensated for participation! Thanks to
all who took the time to post!
4) We need hosts for the upcoming XWA CapShip Skrimishes! Apply directly to MoE
Striker and myself, CCing AF Olarum. Please include times you are available to
host!
5) There are a lot of new courses at the Academy! I'd suggest the new course on
the Tarkin Doctrine...there's a lot of good information there which, if you've
read The Prince, you'd enjoy since many principles are exactly the same. If you
do the course for no other reason, do it to be a little more educated. After
all, you are running or defending a planetary system! Academy participation is
still participation in my book...keep taking courses! :)
6) Website will be worked on this weekend by A:DGMF Monsh and MoC Terrian. The
current temporary site has updated links, including a link to te new DIR Forum!
7) I'll be organizing information for the Systems Manual and writing more
information for Diplomacy 4.0.0 most of this weekend! However, I should be
available while I'm doing these things, as I tend to idle on IRC while I work.
8) RECRUIT! RECRUIT! RECRUIT! Remember the tips I gave in my E-Mail! Be
persuasive, but not over-aggresive. Be helpful, don't give them a manual to fend
for themselves. Guide them through it, rather than strand them in dead water!
I think that about covers it, folks!
Directorate Domain Report: 04.03.04
<SALUTE>
Greetings,
Welcome to the newest installment of the weekly Directorate
Domain Report! In terms of real-life for the Grand Moff, its been a week of ups
and downs. I thank you all for being so understanding during my short absence!
The next few weeks should grant me more time to work on a couple of my own
Directorate projects, Diplomacy and the EH Systems Manual. For those who haven't
heard, Diplomacy 4.0.0 is in the works and its shaping up to be the best release
of the game yet! However, enough introduction...onto the report...!
1) Big thank you to all the Ministry Council who got 100% of their reports in on
time for the first time in Lord only knows how long. Councilors please check
your mailboxes for a message from me!
2) Notice, folks, that I have a shiny new Medal of Recruitment in my ID Line!
While its nothing like that Fist of Palpatine I have, it certainly is just as
important to me! If I can get out there and recruit, you folks on the line can,
too! If I can find the time in my schedule, so can you!
3) AF Olarum and SCPT Nir Fallas have begun a Recruitment Project! The end
result of said project will be a new Join Form and/or a new Introduction page
for the Directorate site! However, they would like contributions from everybody!
We want the end result to be representative of the entire Directorate! Not just
a few people! Please feel free to mail them and ask what you can submit in terms
of content!
4) The MB Recruitment Post Writer request received a superlative response. To
the three who opted to help, I thank you ahead of time and will be getting in
contact with you all soon! Your dedication will pay off for the Directorate as a
whole in the long run, as MB Recruitment is essential to getting the word of the
Directorate out to the rest of the EH membership!
5) XWA King of the Ring! Fly! Get medals! Get on the DBC!
6) XWA MP Capital Ship Skirmishes still needs hosts! If we want this to happen,
I strongly suggest that somebody step up to the plate! It isn't overly time
consuming and is a very enjoyable experience, since you get to work with a
diverse group of people from multiple subgroups! Apply directly to me at TSSGen@aol.com,
DGMF Orzon, MoE Wil Striker, and AF Olarum!
7) Directorate Guard website updated again! Huge thanks to Delak for his work
with the site! Its really taken shape!
8) MEEx [Minister Elite] Examination has been released! I strongly urge the
Ministry Councilors to take this test ASAP! There is a deadline of April 15th,
2004 for this to be completed! Its not a hard course, gets you an easy shiny to
add to your ID Lines, and it'll protect you from being hounded by the MoE!
9) The new Directorate Academy has surpassed 50 graded examinations! Not shabby
for a subgroup of our size and also considering the new Academy's only existed
for a little under a month! Keep taking exams! They're fun, informative, and
even necessary in some cases! Big thanks goes out to MoE Wil Striker for his
efforts as MoE! He's really worked very hard at making the Directorate Academy
the model SubGroup training facility!
10) High Commissioner of the Territories Coranel Both has done a superlative job
his first week in office! Be sure to check out the following activity he's
posted and PARTICIPATE!
http://e3.lemdal.com/Dir/forum/viewtopic.php?t=97
11) Work on the Emperor's Hammer Systems Manual will resume shortly! Apologies
to those who would've wanted it sooner!
12) Diplomacy 4.0.0 is coming along smooth! The CB positions will take a whole
new meaning once Diplomacy begins! Be prepared!
Outstandingly long report, but a lot did happen this week! I'm generally pleased
with everything except recruitment! Get out there and recruit! There's a lot to
do around here! The problem is...nobody's here to do any of it!

Sorry for the late report--I've been extremely busy doing Senate things.
Outcomes, planetary issues, etc. are very time consuming, and so my report was
delayed. This also means I need a Minister of State and Deputy Chancellor.
Please apply! Oh, by the way, I've fired Dhashian Fuaretyn for not really
accomplishing anything.
FI-1 went wonderfully. The issue was discussed in an intelligent fashion, the
vote went smoothly, and everyone participated in a reasonable amount of time. I
hope this represents a trend! People who continually participate in discussions,
bringing valuable insight and ideas will be routinely nominated for the Senate
Propriety Award [SPA]. I intend to start that once more planets are filled. It's
retroactive, so everything occurring right now counts. The outcome has also been
issued with a discussion ongoing in the
forum.
CI-2 didn't go so well to begin with, but discussions are ongoing again. The
vote can resume, but again, I would highly suggest discussing the issue more.
Carrida II has lost its Conservative majority, so I am not foreseeing a negative
outcome this time (unlike with CI-1). FI-2 should be released soon as well.
In other news, Representative Ibram Gaunt has joined the Friggian Delegation,
and Senator Diamar Eliladan and Representative Brent Tainer have joined the
Carridan Delegation. University Graduates this past week (or over a week)
include Hafan Cantos, Pyrrhus, Diamar Eliladan, Ibram Gaunt, Aude Dignum, Brent
Tainer, Cole Archer, Jara Naroo, and Orv Dessrx. Some of those received CoK's,
though only Hafan comes to mind.
Orv has inputed courses in personal profiles now, and I'll be handing out
diplomas to all those who've passed the Core in a day or so. A few bugs were
also fixed with Planetary Issues. I made an executive order last week to make
all planetary voting records public, so Orv also made that possible.
The Imperial University has relocated (thanks to Minister Blackblade) to
http://university.lusankya.org.
Here you can find a link to the CORE exam, as well as the Argumentation courses.
Now these two courses mail correctly and to the right people to grade these
tests, so go forth and learn stuff.
I'm opening Ravouin up to planetary applications. I see that one has already
applied, and we need Senators there before planetary issues can start. I suppose
that's all.

CHS Reports #'s 53 and 54: 04.04.04
Imperial Senate Report #53
4/3/04
- News -
Consider this report from over a week ago. I've been too stressed to get this
written. I'm usually busy with work, school, or writing Planetary
Issues/Outcomes/Discussions, etc. This week saw the opening of Sahare and
Ravouin to planetary applications. Representative Archaia Tyche, a BHG member,
and Representative Aude Dignum were appointed to the Ravouin Delegation, and
Representatives Daryan Harpinis, Jara Naroo, and Ocaiec were appointed to the
Saharan Delegation.
This week also saw the removal of State Minister Dhashian Fuaretyn, who still
needs a replacement. I've received a few applications already, but need more.
I'll be moving a couple of people to another application stage where they will
be required to complete a number of planetary issues before I consider their
appointment. The one who writes the better scenarios will be the next Minister
of State. In happier news, I've appointed a highly capable and highly motivated
Deputy Chancellor, Euqseabub Deedni. Most of you will know him as BubbaX. I also
appointed Destavol Gin to the position of Liberal Party Leader. Things are
working out well.
CI-2 was issued and came to a close. It was a sharp contrast to the chaos of
CI-1, but the Carridan Delegation came to its senses with the appointment of
more liberally minded members. They decided to grant legal representation to
Carridan citizens under military tribunals. I congratulate them on this
decision. The result of FI-1 also reached its peak with demonstrations on Frigg
that lead to open violence and the action of the Senate Guard. The delegates are
still on Frigg discussing the issue. FI-2 should be issued shortly.
- Additional -
That should be all. Until next week... Oh, Orv is working on a Senate comic
strip. It should make an interesting competition where members decide what
happens in the next window (of the strip). Very well drawn with interesting
plots. I look forward to what he's doing with it!
Imperial Senate Report #54
4/3/04
- News -
Again, just getting caught up. There's so much that happens in one week now that
I have to release separate reports. That's kind of a good thing, but it's also
hard to keep track of all that's happening. Firstly, Fmr. Minister of Records,
Demerzel, has come out of retirement and joined Sahare as a Senator. This means
Sahare has achieved a delegation of 4, which will allow Planetary Issues to
commence shortly.
LP-1. Proposed Party Platform, the first Liberal Policy Initiative, has been
posted and is currently being discussed in the Forum. All liberal members are
encouraged to discuss the initiative before voting occurs, which should be in a
couple of days. I have to contact the Communications Minister in regard to the
'options' that should appear on the issue in the Liberal Party profile.
Otherwise, the activity that the issue has received is disappointing, albeit
expected. The platform is very long, which is not surprising, given that
Demerzel wrote it. I'm very impressed, however. I would be delighted if other
parties would be so thorough with their platforms.
I intend to release FI-2 tonight, with SI-1 and CI-3 following tomorrow. I need
talented writers!! Please recruit anyone with a high degree of intelligence and
writing experience, otherwise I don't know if the High
Council, in its current state, can create all the planetary issues that the
Assembly will demand in the next couple of months. I don't have that much time,
and the work load of just one issue is tremendous with all the planning,
discussion, and writing involved. Senate Issues is going to be even more
demanding. I expect the High Council to grow in positions in the future,
although this is only if our membership exceeds the capacity currently listed
under the General Assembly. I will be discussing this with the High Council,
specifically the Deputy Chancellor and Interior Minister.
The Procedural Exam will be done this week. That means all Senators are required
to pass it, and if you don't, you'll be removed from your positions. As a
reminder, all Representatives hoping to achieve Senator have to pass the
Procedural Exam. It should be rather complex, though if you simply read the
notes, you can easily pass it. It's not tricky like the Core Exam--it's just
hard data, really. I'll also be discussing other courses with Minister Cochrane,
who, if you've read his reports, has been working on a centralized Imperial
University.
- Additional -
Manual and Core Exam revisions should also be updated this week (if I have
time--I already have a week's load of Senate work planned). I made allocate some
of it to the Deputy Chancellor.
Minister of State is now officially open to applications. Requirements are
below:
HC-3. Minister of State (M:STA):
The Minister of State is responsible for the appointment of Senators to their
respective planets. It is his duty to closely monitor planetary activities and
the amount of activity contributed by each delegate.
Additionally, he renders planetary scenarios/issues,
competitions, and legislation. All information pertaining to representation and
planets can be obtained from the Minister of State.
M:STA Requirements
-Example of writing
-Incredible amount of free time
-Leadership experience
-Fast e-mail response/IRC activity/AIM
-Sample of Planetary Issue
-Exception writing ability
Desired:
-HTML experience
-PHP experience
-Former Senate member

SOD Report #22: 03.27.04
Welcome to yet another report from me, the SOD.
There is not much to report unfortunately, because I've still run into several
hectic weeks. What I'm going to do is to go on leave for the next two weeks, so
that I can finish up end of semester projects, a few remaining college transfer
applications, and get some general studying for finals done.
In my stead, I will be emailing Drax with a list of polls to post on my forum
tomorrow, complete with times they should be posted. When I return from my
leave, I will be compiling these polls and sending off results. Astatine, if you
could give Drax access to my forum I would be appreciative.
I will still be playing SWG during this time, as I like to play it during study
breaks.
I'm sorry that this is all I have this week, but as I said, things have been
hectic.
SOD Report: 04.03.04
Hello again friends.
This week has been hectic with final projects coming out and everything, but
I've still managed to get some SOD work done.
First, I sent Drax some info on Xanthe, and CC'ed Kawolski as he knows more
about her than I do and even has some pictures of her to put up on the memorium
website. Hopefully Kawolski got that message, if not, I'll just send him another
mail reminding him to do that.
Also, I mailed the FC last week with ideas on the Virtual RL meeting. Compton
also planned to have one up by him, so hopefully a few of us can get there too.
I know I'll be trying. Either way, I don't know what program to use at this
point. Netmeeting is probably my first choice given that anyone with a webcam
can show us their ugly mugs as well as talk to us :) It's all up to the boss
though in the end, and I want to get his and the XO's feedback on this before I
do anything.
I said last week I'd be going on leave, I won't be. But, I might have a much
slower turnover time for the next few weeks. Don't worry though, I'll get to
your email within 72 hours if anything important comes up.
Finally this week, my SOD Run on is coming tomorrow. I hope everyone
participates on it, I think it should be an interesting one. The premise is
going to be based on my fictional job, where I plan a massive offensive against
a rival territory with the blessing of the FC. It should be loads of fun, and as
someone posted I'll try to "make it not suck"
Anyway that's about all I have for ya this week. More on the RL meeting next
week when I have some feedback from the brass.

<Salute>
It's time, my friends.
11 months ago, FM Ares was delivering his last report as Prefect, and I was
chosen to replace him.
My mission was to improve the HF and make it active again, and looking the HF
now, I'd say the job was done, but barely.
It was improved, due the efforts of the best team I saw working around, but I
realized I didn't contributed much to this.
So here I am, to announce you my retirement, effective as soon as you find
someone to replace me.
Till then I'll be on semi-leave, leaving the control of the HF to XO Dante, but
still around in case of emergencies.
Wanted to reach 1 year of crazy ruling, but the way my RL is going now, I
can't wait longer without compromising more the HF.
I really enjoyed working with you, and I hope you enjoyed working with me.
I'll really miss this SG, and I hope to be able to return to lines in no
time. Meanwhile, I'll bug the next PRF to be an ADV :)
For replacements I leave no appointments, cause the 2 people I trust most seems
to have time issues, so I'll leave this matter for you to decide.
In case you need to hear any feeling towards the applicants, fell absolutely
free to ask.
That's all.
Thanks for your time, and really sorry for this.

Fleet Commander's Note:
HG Mordred will be missed as head of the HF...He has brought an
international perspective to his position as SGCOM.

COO Sarin Promoted to Admiral: 03.07.04
As Recommended By:
Imperial
Sovereign Protector (HA Priyum)
(Please see Training Manual for
rank descriptions)
Grand Admiral Ronin,
I would like to recommend the promotion of the Combat Operations Officer, Vice
Admiral Sarin, to the rank of full Admiral. Since his appointment to the
position, Sarin has worked extremely hard at streamlining his office and clearly
defining Multiplayer activities in the EH, in the form of both a new Combat
Manual and a very useful IWATS Multiplayer course.
Most importantly, he has done an excellent job at promoting the Week of War
events for EH members, as shown by our recent successes in these competitions
(the EH came 2nd at XvT and joint 1st at XWA in the most recent round).
In addition to these, Sarin has put several ladders in place and implemented the
24/7 LoC system, all of which works towards increasing MP activity. It's been a
while since the EH has had a COO that no only does his core duties but also
works towards the future of the EH and I think VA Sarin fully deserves this
promotion to Admiral.
Thank you for your consideration,
High Admiral Priyum
Imperial Sovereign Protector
