SquadFirst+ Released to the Fleet:
08.10.03
As Emailed From:
Internet
Officer (HA Ari)
SquadFirst revolutionized the way CMDRs produced their websites.
Since its conception over 25 squadrons had chosen to use a SquadFirst site. But,
we weren't satisfied with just making a squadron management script. So, we began
to make a website management script for wings, then for ships, and for
battlegroups. But, why stop there? Soon enough support was added for the
Infiltrator Wing, the Dark Brotherhood, and the Hammer's Fist.
The end result is SquadFirst+, one of the most ambitious projects ever created
by the Internet Office. For the past month, MAJ Alex Foley has been developing
the next generation of management scripts. And today, it makes me very proud to
announce that SquadFirst+ v2.0.0 has been released. 6976 lines of code. Over 100
man hours of work. It's the upgrade that a project like SquadFirst deserved.
Also included with SquadFirst+ are 4 new themes. A new theming system within SF+
makes it much easier to make your own theme, having to know practically no PHP
whatsoever. The new themes featured are AT-AT for the Hammer's Fist (by Alex
Foley), Emperor's Hammer: Classic Scenes, the new default theme for SF+ (by Alex
Foley), Stonesaber, a great new Dark Brotherhood theme (by MAJ Xander Drax), and
TIE Phantom, a holonet-looking new theme for the TIE Corps (by MAJ Xander Drax
and FA Leeson).
With SquadFirst+ comes a new SquadFirst website located still at
http://squadfirst.minos.net.
Besides a new design, the new site also hosts The Registry, which houses a
master list of all SquadFirst+ sites. Gain inspiration, find custom themes,
check out custom code; whatever the end result, The Registry will extend
SquadFirst+ into a community of developers. We hope you enjoy SquadFirst+!

SWG PA report #2:

(SWG)/Command Staff/The Fringe
Emperor's Hammer Star Wars Galaxies Report #2
8/13/03
(For distribution to the Fleet.)
Has it really been a month already?
A lot has happened since my last report. I will offer no apologies for the late
date of this one, because I have been spending every available moment doing what
every good member of the Emperor's Hammer PA should be doing - working towards
making my SWG character bigger, stronger, better than before!
The biggest news since the last report is that we have a PA hall, and are now an
official Player Association. This is both a great and a bad thing. It's great,
because now we're official and can run around with our tag (PA initials) proudly
exposed for everyone to see. It's not so great because due to naming
restrictions we have to be known as the Empire's Hammer (SWG will not let you
use the word Emperor) and our initials are "EHmr" (someone beat us to EH). But
these are very, very minor issues, and don't interfere with the game at all. The
PA hall is located on Corellia (chosen primarily because you can reach nearly
any other planet in the game from its spaceports) and is about halfway between
Coronet and Bela Vistal. Many players (including myself) have put their own
homes around the hall, so we've got a great jump on the game for when player
cities are finally introduced.
Our members have been doing a spectacular job of moving up the various ladders.
A month ago, we were comprised primarily of new players still trying to figure
out how the game works. Now we've got Master Scouts, Marksmen, Engineers,
Creature Handlers and even a couple of Bounty Hunters.
We've had two in-game events/get-togethers so far, with more planned. We've had
a meet-and-greet at the PA hall, complete with fireworks and beer (great
combination) and a trip to see the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Dantooine. We're
in the process of making sure that we have an event every weekend, and hopefully
a mid-week hunt as well. Announcements will be made every time an event is
planned.
For those who don't already know, the Emperor's Hammer has formed the only
official EH Player Association on the Chilastra server in Star Wars Galaxies.
Joining the PA is open to all members of the EH, and anyone else who wants to
join. The only requirement (besides having a character on Chilastra, of course)
is that you join the Fringe. You can do this using your existing EH e-mail
address by e-mailing DCGM Darknyte at darknyte@alltel.net, or send him a /tell
in-game to darkn'yte (note the apostrophe).
As always, the first version of my pre-game report/guide is still available at
http://members.aol.com/imperialgleeclub/swg . Thanks to the EH member who
donated the web space.

Grand Order of the Emperor (GOE) Medal Awarded
to Alex Foley: 08.07.03
As Recommended By:
Internet
Officer (HA Ari)
Emperor's Hammer Grand Order of the Emperor (GoE) Medal
Honorable Sirs,
I'd like to take this opportunity to officially submit my recommendation for my
IOA, Major Alex Foley, to receive the Grand Order of the Emperor. His service
record with the Internet Office, and the Emperor's Hammer at large, is quite
astounding, especially for someone of his rank. He has single-handedly
demonstrated what an individual in this club is capable of with hard work and
dedication. He started out with the IO with WEHR and Project Hawkeye, where he
made his first attempt at a PHP-based script. From there he moved on to running
the EH Holonet Awards, creating a design for The Holonet Journals and the IO
Code Archive, and being professor of 3 IWATS course - 2 of which, Flash and
JavaScript, he wrote. His next major hit was My EHNet or "MyDot" - the first EH
portal system ever with news feeds from around the fleet and around the world.
And then came his major hit, SquadFirst, version 1.0. In
non-IO matters, he's done a plethora of websites for various purposes - EH
Memorium, COMM Office, LO Office, TC Battlegroups, COO Office, among others. His
work has influenced the fleet in so many ways. He and I are now nearly
completely done with the next generation of SquadFirst: SquadFirst+. This
innovative tool will set new standards for Squadron, Wing, Ship, Battlegroup,
Battleteam, House, Clan, Squad, Platoon, Company and Batallion websites in the
TC, IW, DB and HF. Alex Foley has served under my command for many months and
has become my own protégé: he has not only learned to think critically of
websites and code, but he has also learned to think in terms of the larger
picture of the betterment of the EH. SquadFirst+ is just a culmination of a long
line of hard work he's invested into this club, and I think that someone who has
put so much effort into the EH like Alex Foley deserves the Grand Order of the
Emperor.
Respectfully,

Internet Office Report #102
July 31, 2003
:: [ Internet Office News ] ::
This week was primarily a coding week for the IO. We've been doing work on
various basic components of EHW, and I can already see we won't have as much as
I'd like done by the end of August. But we'll still keep at it. Reblet, Leeson
and I are doing as much as we can in our spare time. Also, we might have a new
member join the EHW Development team soon, someone who's been retired, but has
had a lot of wargame experience and is considering returning to the EH...guess
you'll just have to wait to find out who!
Alex Foley has also been hard at work coding. SquadFirst+ is tantalizingly close
to being done. Most of the administration components are done except for the
Roster. All of the front-end display is done, too. It will take 1-2 more days
for him to complete it, upon which the IO Staff and myself will review and test
the code. I will also be putting in some additional features, including a
versioning system, and an auto-registration upon install that will register the
site with the new SquadFirst Registry which will come along with the new SF main
site design, using an innovative XML exporting technique.
Also, this week emails were sent out to inactive/rDB MinosNIC hosting accounts.
If you got one and you believe it is in error, contact AD Turtle (eh_turtle@rawx.net).
If you do not respond, your account will be deleted within a week.

Internet Office Report #103
August 8, 2003
:: [ Internet Office News ] ::
This week has been very busy for the IO between SquadFirst+, EHW and other
miscellany. First off, I sent SA Astatine a list of updated links for the TC
site, which will hopefully be up and replace the old, out of date ones.
EH Wargames: we cleared some major obstacles, in terms of logistics and
programming. Leeson also completed a particularly tricky function that was in
the way of map creation. For more EHW info, see my post on the TC message board
at http://www.theholo.net/mb/viewtopic.php?p=108895#108895.
And now, the moment everyone has been waiting for, the release of SquadFirst+!
This is a project the IO, particularly Alex Foley, has been working on for 3
weeks now. It's evolved from it's predecessor quite tremendously with more
functionality and customization. The administration backend interface is more
standardized and scalable for different subgroups and different levels. And now,
the official release announcement:
SquadFirst revolutionized the way CMDRs produced their websites. Since its
conception over 25 squadrons had chosen to use a SquadFirst site. But, we
weren't satisfied with just making a squadron management script. So, we began to
make a website management script for wings, then for ships, and for battlegroups.
But, why stop there? Soon enough support was added for the Infiltrator Wing, the
Dark Brotherhood, and the Hammer's Fist.
The end result is SquadFirst+, one of the most ambitious projects ever created
by the Internet Office. For the past month, MAJ Alex Foley has been developing
the next generation of management scripts. And today, it makes me very proud to
announce that SquadFirst+ v2.0.0 has been released. 6976 lines of code. Over 100
man hours of work. It's the upgrade that a project like SquadFirst deserved.
Also included with SquadFirst+ are 4 new themes. A new theming system within SF+
makes it much easier to make your own theme, having to know practically no PHP
whatsoever. The new themes featured are AT-AT for the Hammer's Fist (by Alex
Foley), Emperor's Hammer: Classic Scenes, the new default theme for SF+ (by Alex
Foley), Stonesaber, a great new Dark Brotherhood theme (by MAJ Xander Drax), and
TIE Phantom, a holonet-looking new theme for the TIE Corps (by MAJ Xander Drax
and FA Leeson).
With SquadFirst+ comes a new SquadFirst website located still at http://squadfirst.minos.net.
Besides a new design, the new site also hosts The Registry, which houses a
master list of all SquadFirst+ sites. Gain inspiration, find custom themes,
chceck out custom code; whatever the end result, The Registry will extend
SquadFirst+ into a community of developers. We hope you enjoy SquadFirst+!
For his efforts, I have recommended Alex Foley be rewarded with the Grand Order
of the Emperor (GOE), pending FC and XO approval. I have also recommended a
Silver Star for MAJ Xander Drax for his work on themes.
:: [ Emperor's Hammer: Site of the Week ] ::
This week's SOTW is, of course SquadFirst+ by Alex Foley. Congrats to Alex on a
5 star site located at http://squadfirst.minos.net
:: [ Internet Office Poll ] ::
What do you think of the brand new SquadFirst+?
-It's all-around amazing!
-Awesome functionality, but I want more themes.
-The themes are good, but the rest is just ok.
-I don't like it/ I don't use it
-It's the best IO project ever!

Training Office Report #18
Admiral Keldorn Cochrane Reporting – 11th August 2003
http://www.emperorshammer.ca/
<SALUTE>
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls,
Welcome to another addition of a Training Office Report. I have been online only
sparingly over the past few weeks, thanks firstly to real-life necessity and
secondly to my e-mail doing offline. The second has now been remedied; my usual
address – gmf@kweeky.net - is back online and functioning fine. If, however, it
ever does go offline again please feel free to contact me on my personal address
(nx.cochrane@btopenworld.com).
The first of the IRC colloquia has been delayed for several weeks to enable me
to get back into the swing of things and for it to be properly publicised
throughout the Emperor’s Hammer. We may even be visited by a distinguished (re;
academic, none of these pansy celebrities ;P) guest to give a short online
presentation. Details for the reschedule will be published shortly.
Fleet Admiral Darkov resigned from his EH posts recently. This saddens me.
Applications for the Active Service Page (ASP) Professorship are once again open
(details below).
I would like to welcome three individuals to the folds of the Training Office.
First and foremost, Captain Amadeo of the ISD Challenge has been selected as the
next Training Office Assistant (TOA)! The selection process was very difficult,
given the large number of incredibly skilled and experienced members who
applies, but CPT Amadeo just had the edge. Colonel Locke Setzer joins the Office
as Eggdrop (BOT) Professor and Captain Chris McCollum as Graphics (GFX)
Professor. Congratulations and welcome to all!
The small Training Officer competition – Apostasy – has now been launched. It is
not a full-scale competition of old, but a cooperative series of events to run
alongside individual SubGroup competitions. Nevertheless, there are Platinum
Ribbons on offer – and a ‘special prize’ will also be available to one lucky
contestant! Full details can be found on the Academic NeXus at: http://www.emperorshammer.ca/comps_apostasy.html
TIE Corps
Time for another reminder for those lovable rogues in the TIE Corps; merit
medals cannot be awarded for competitions unless in *very* special circumstances
– and in such circumstances one should first get the approval of the Operations
Officer before submitting a competition to the database.
Dark Brotherhood
In specific regards to the Dark Brotherhood; the processing of new Applicants
was hit again by the sudden disappearance of my e-mail (this has now been
remedied). But the long-standing database error blocking many Applicants from
progressing in their studies has still not been remedied, I only hope the
Seneschal is not encountering too much hardship in this historical ‘battle’ of
code. It should be noted that myself and the Master-At-Arms are not really in a
position to remedy this ourselves, but there is a manual system in place
(details briefly posted on the Brotherhood domain earlier today). Inquiries may
– of-course – be sent to me at anytime (to@emperorshammer.org). I shall be
shortly advertising for another Magistrate to the Headmaster to assist me in the
day-to-day management of the Shadow Academy, so I advise any interested parties
to start sending me flowers (of the masculine sort) or large consignments of
cash in unmarked bills.
If any Applicants do not receive any form of communication from me within 24
hours of this day please either contact me with your question/submission/problem
or resubmit your Phase I entry. My most humble apologies for this inconvenience.
Imperial Senate
Former Vice Minster Xura Verr has been reinstated to the position of Vice
Minister of Education and has already progressed well on the gradual coding of
the Imperial University into efficient and friendly PHP. He has kept be informed
to an excellent degree, as such I commend him on his work. At this rate, the
fully-automated IU shall be ready for the Senate’s grand re-launch.
Vacancies
Active Server Page (ASP) Professor Open for Applications
The requirements are:
An active member of the Emperor’s Hammer holding the rank of Lieutenant (or
equivalent) or above.
Extensive experience in the programming, installation and management of websites
in ASP.
Be able to grade exam submissions within 24 hours.
Keeping Graduate Counts (total and per month).
Maintaining/updating the Course Notes (basic HTML knowledge necessary; or a good
WYSIWYG editor).
Applications should be sent to me (to@emperorshammer.org) with the subject “BOT
PROF Application”.

Operations Office Report: 08.02.03
As Emailed From:
Former Operations
Officer (AD Khaine)
Operations Office
(URL to be updated soon...!)
2nd August 2003.
Another week passes us by, and with it comes another Operations Office Report.
Squadron Patches
Remember, the patches must be sent to MAJ Tempest (eh_tempest@gmx.net) and
myself (ops@emperorshammer.org) for them to be processed. For those prospective
patch designers, consider that while your patch may look fine at 400x400 or
whatever size you design it at, when it is reduced to uniform size most of your
fine detail will disappear.
Fleet Commander's Birthday Commendation of Loyalty Recommendations
The bi-annual awarding of the Commendation of Loyalty to members of the
Emperor's Hammer who have displayed tremendous dedication to the Fleet is fast
approaching. I have included information for the Command Officers, Advisors and
Subgroup Commanders below.
Tiecorps
Each Squadron Commander can make recommendations to their Wing Commander who
will choose three (3) members of their wing to receive the CoL and forward the
names to their Commodore and Battlegroup Commodore. Each BGCOM may recommend up
to three (3) more awards for their flag officers. The Battlegroup Commander will
collate the awards for their battlegroup and forward the names (with pin
numbers) to the Flight Officer (fo@emperorshammer.org) and myself (ops@emperorshammer.org).
Additionally, the Commander of each Elite Squadron may recommend one (1) of
their members to receive the CoL. This should be sent directly to the Flight
Officer and myself. Therefore the FO and I should only be receiving CoL
recommendations from the Battlegroup Commanders and the Commanders of the Elite
Squadrons.
Dark Brotherhood
Each Clan Consul may make up to three (3) recommendations from their members,
which they will forward to the Chancellor and Grand Master of the Dark
Brotherhood. The Grand Master will also be able to make up to five (5)
additional recommendations for members of the Dark Brotherhood. Once collated,
the Dark Brotherhood recommendations should be submitted to the Operations
Officer (ops@emperorshammer.org) by the Grand Master only.
Hammer's Fist, Infiltrator Wing, Corporate Division, Bounty Hunters Guild,
Intelligence Division, Directorate, Fringe and Imperial Senate
Each of the listed subgroups (excepting the Tiecorps and Dark Brotherhood) will
be able to recommend up to ten (10) members to receive the Commendation of
Loyalty. These recommendations are to be collated and sent to the Operations
Officer (ops@emperorshammer.org) only by the leader of each respective subgroup.
Emperor's Hammer Command Staff and Advisors
Recommendations from each of the Command Staff and Advisors will be received on
a case-by-case basis. Recommendations should be sent directly to the Operations
Officer (ops@emperorshammer.org).
Submission Date
All recommendations must be submitted to myself (and the Flight Officer where
required) by the 19th of August. (That's two and a bit weeks away folks.)

specific pixel size requirements, but I want something banneresque. I'm
accepting submissions in JPG, PNG, and BMP (zipped of course). Members
should submit entries via email to me at io@absolutek.ca before midnight on the
10th of August.
Prizes:
1st Place: IS-GR

Good news for people with single quotes in their usernames on the EH Forums,
they can now login again without trouble (no need to double them up anymore). It
turned out it was actually a problem with phpBB that got introduced with v2.0.5
by their developers.

Communications Office Report #16:
08.11.03
<SALUTE>
I have upgraded the EH Forums to phpBB v2.0.6. This fixes a minor security flaw,
and a few other code bugs. Please let me know immediately via email if there is
anything broken with this upgrade that I have missed. The log actions mod
doesn't work with this new release (only people with admin level access will
notice this), so don't bother using it until I fix it.
I setup a public Internet Jedi Outcast server at 207.44.135.242. EH members are
of course welcome to use it, but they are expected to behave appropriately just
like everybody else playing on it. Any questions, concerns or suggestions about
my JO server should of course be sent to me via email.
An updated CoC draft document has been sent to the FC, XO, IO and SO for
commentary and approval. This includes the new "Idling with Ops" rule, which
means that if you are away or otherwise not paying attention to channels in
which you have operator privileges, you must either deop yourself or change your
nick to reflect your status (ie. AbKAwy, Abk-AFK, etc).

Greetings all. Once again, and I'm absolutely flabbergasted when I say this, it
has been a slow week for the Security Office. My internet connection from home
has finally been re-established *grumble stupid frumblinmessingfressafrubble
verizon bisstids* and I have returned to IRC, to the welcome of some and the
bane of others... :)
As always, make sure not to let problems fester... Contact either myself or my
staff with problems before they become so. See you next week. :)

SO Report #12: 08.09.03
<Salute>
I would love to be able to say my normal, two-sentence "this has been a slow
week, be good" report. I'm rather dismayed I cannot.
There have been certain issues that have cropped up this week, and a case that
has been sent to the HCI for their perusal. Remember, I don't send much to the
HCI, so you can be assured if I have to mention something you've done to them,
it's going to be rather bad, and they're not going to take very kindly to it.
I'd also like to take a moment to go over an idea my predecessor, Fleet Admiral
Brad, was working with before his unfortunate resignation. While I would rather
not force channel operators on IRC to de-op themselves when not actively in the
channel, as in sleeping or idling, or whatnot, it becomes imperative after
certain recent events that something must be done to combat the "useless op"
perception. I am open to suggestions anyone may have on this, or I can implement
my own. I tend to be a little draconian at times, so give me something to work
with here. :)
That's all for this week. Stay good, everyone.

Science Office Report #21: 08.02.03
"Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but
the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway."
<salute>
Welcome to my twenty-first public report as a Science Officer, on time... (oh
yes baby, I'm on a roll!) ...so let's get to the news:
Science Office News:
1. Project Shield, a TAC project, has continued. Currently all the XWA, XvT and
BoP missions/battles have been done. TIE is waiting for some additional changes.
As this project is currently classified, I can not elaborate on it much more
then this.
2. After discussion with the FC, XO, FO, GM and SHW I have
changed the Order of Battle to display the Dark Brotherhood, something which it
didn't before. Each of the clans is now displayed as based on three frigates,
one for each house, with the Sith Squadrons displayed next to them. Noted should
be that the ATF ships have always carried the DB and that before it was actually
the DB fleet until the former GM passed the fleet command over them over to the
TC. As such nothing structural has actually changed; this change was mostly due
to the lack of DB references on the OoB before and for storyline/mission
creation purposes. It also displays the close relation between the DB and ATF
more correctly.
3. In the short break before Project Shield continues and we
launch the new Patch Manager I've decided to release the Hyperion Fighter as a
patch for TIE95 and XvT. The Hyperion Fighter was named after Hyperion Flight in
honour of them winning the Sith Wars, now almost two years ago. The Hyperion
Fighter is a fast and manoeuvrable light interceptor craft with two ions and two
lasers. Its small profile makes it hard to hit while the weapon placement
ensures good accuracy. The Hyperion Fighter was approved and modelled by then
SCO/AD Den Darkhill and textured by myself. A picture of the ship has been
attached to SCO report #8.
4. As a reminder I'd like to note that the only person in the
Fleet that has the authority to commission and approve ships and craft types is
the Fleet Commander, GA Ronin, and that any ships that lack this approval do not
"exist" for EH purposes and as such do not appear on the Order of Battle.
Because the FC is a busy man he has instated the Science Office to take care of
ship matters, but even then he has final approval. (This generally also requires
approval from the SGCOMs in question, the XO and the SCO.) Furthermore, all
ships and fighters are and remain property of the EH - represented in the person
of the Fleet Commander - which allows the _use_ of these craft by the various
units and offices.
Science Office Status:
CA: Admiral Darkhill has been moving house, in which his hard disc was damaged.
Luckily he has been able to retrieve all his EH material and will be back in
full sway as soon as the rest of his PC is replaced/fixed.
SCOA: CM Tim has been working hard on getting the IW site back in action, but
found time to play with Project Cueball as well.
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.
The staff page, the patch archive, reports archive, projects page and Order of
Battle have been updated.
Science Office Projects:
XvT/BoP/TIE95 Ship patches: This project's goal is to add all the original and
Order of Battle craft that are still "missing" from these games, like the SSD in
TIE and XvT, the Medium Transport in all etc. This week saw the release of the
Hyperion Fighter.
Grand Project: The EH Patch Manager Project is going along smoothly - expect it
to be released by the end of the summer. Currently on hold until Den's PC is
completely fixed (compiler won't run as well on his back-up PC).
Project Shield: (TAC Project) XWA, XvT and BoP sections have been completed,
frst part of the TIE section has been prepared - but is waiting for some
additional software.
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 #sco. 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 #sco, #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: http://www.minos.net/~sco/reports/index.html but they are on the TIE Corps
site, CS reports, as well.
Until next time, good luck and have fun!

Science Office Report #22: 08.09.03
"Unless we want to give ourselves a really bad reputation, I
just think we should avoid shooting the first people we meet on a new planet."
<salute>
Welcome to my twenty-second public report as a Science Officer, once again on
time... (its just unbelievable ;)) ...let's get to the news:
Science Office News:
1. Main news this week is the release of the Imperial Concourse for XWA. This
patch changes the interior graphics of the XWA rebel cruiser to those of an
Imperial Ship (based on the concourse graphics of TIE Fighter.) and should
improve the "Imperial Atmosphere" when flying EH missions. It also changes
in-game ranks to EH ones, from CT to GA, concourse room names to Emperor's
Hammer CS offices (for example: the Tech Room now is the Science Office) and the
rebel pilot hand cursor to an imperial one. This patch will be updated each time
we've converted another part of the rebel cruiser (next up is the techroom) and
should eventually make XWA a fully imperial game. You can get the patch at
http://www.minos.net/~sco/files/xwa/IMP-XWA.zip, a screenshot is included with
this report.
2. Project Shield (a TAC Project) will continue after this
report is written, it should be finished by the end of this weekend, Tuesday at
the most. Release is partially still on hold because of AD Darkhill's hardware
problems but shouldn't be too far away.
3. CPT Flelm found the solution to the XP/DX problem with TIE95
reported earlier (TIE95 no longer working in XP after installation of DX9):
Here's the steps.
#1 - Download and install the new application compatibility
toolkit (3.0) at http://www.microsoft.com/ (search for compatibility toolkit)
#2 - Put the file at http://www.minos.net/~sco/files/tie/tie.sdb in your TIE95
base folder. #3 - Start the "Compatibility Administrator Tool 3.0"
#4 - Open the "tie.sdb".
#5 - Right-click it, and install.
That should work for most every install of TIE95. If the
previous toolkit worked, this should work too. This will be added to the guide
archive ASAP.
4. Just in from Former LO/FA Ted Tiger: A new MOD for
Battlefield 1942 is being build based on Star Wars. This MOD is called Galactic
Conquest and it features in it's first version the battle on Hoth. You can get
more
information here: http://www.galactic-conquest.net/ (Use the left navigation
panel. The top one is to navigate thru the jolt network.) There's a homepage for
German users, too: http://www.galactic-conquest.de.vu/ The next release of this
mod takes place in three weeks and contains the following battle
locations:Yavin4, Endor, Tatooine.
Science Office Status:
CA: Admiral Darkhill is still suffering hardware problems but should be back up
to his usual self soon.
SCOA: CM Tim has gotten the IW site back in action, and continued work on his
Imperial Hangar for XWA. (Which looks very nifty.)
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 this week.
Science Office Projects:
Segway: We've put some new life into this project by finally releasing the
Imperial Concourse. More imperial updates to XWA should be around shortly.
XvT/BoP/TIE95 Ship patches: This project's goal is to add all the original and
Order of Battle craft that are still "missing" from these games, like the SSD in
TIE and XvT, the Medium Transport in all etc. On hold for the
Grand Project.
Grand Project: The EH Patch Manager Project is going along smoothly - expect it
to be released by the end of the summer. Currently on hold until Den's PC is
completely fixed (compiler won't run as well on his back-up PC).
Project Shield: (TAC Project) XWA, XvT and BoP sections have been completed,
frst part of the TIE section has been prepared - and will be continued on today.
Finishing up:
I think that's it - If I've forgotten anything or if you have comments,

Today's report is short and sweet, not a whole lot happened this past week.
First off as some of you know, I've had issues with the DNS on my domain
cosmicholonet.org. I got those problems solved finally last night, so all sites
hosted on cosmicholonet.org should be working now. Sites hosted there include
the LO office page, the Advanced Guard page, the homepage of Galthain's DDD
squad, and a few others. DNS is propegating and sites should be online again
very soon.
Nobody has submitted nominations for the Mr/Ms EH contest, so this week I will
just go and select the contestants myself(Seems to be how it always worked in
the past anyways). If you do want to nominate someone, this is your last chance.
Get those nominations off to lo@emperorshammer.org.
My CA's "Hero's Flag" contest is still going. So far we've gotten only one
submission, so let's get to work on this and send in some graphics. Details for
the contest can be found at: http://www.emperorshammer.net/competitions/details.asp?ID=737
That's it for this week, stay tuned for another adventure packed episode of the

Hey, hey, hey! It's that time again for the LO's report, so sit back and get
ready for the shortest report I've ever written since nothing has happened this
week with my CA being on emergency leave due to a hardware failure and my
hosting company experiencing some difficulties. That's right, the LO site is
down right now. My hosting company HostDime.com is having some trouble with an
upgrade it appears. The site has been down for most of the week, and I've been
assured the problems should be worked out sometime very soon. My CA is on
emergency leave after part of his computer went AWOL, I expect him back sometime
this weekend after he buys a new modem. The deadline for his competition has
passed and all entries have been collected. I must say there are some really
great graphics here and it might take us a couple days to choose between them
for the ultimate winner. That's it for this week, hopefully my hosting will be
back up in the coming week so that we can start to put the Memorium site online.

Greetings from the Recon Office.
Only news this week is that RA Shay'la will be fully taking over the Convention
Database. She will be updating it weekly ( it badly needs it!) and working with
AD Zsinj closely on this. She has a long list of sites that have convention
announcements and plans to put them all to full use.
I am still waiting on a reply from both the GA and the XO on my list of
questions I had typed up. Though with both of them having either email or
illness problems, that's totally expected. Sir, if you wish me to resend the
questions, I probably could in the next few days.
I will be going on a semi-leave until next Monday or Tuesday. Decided on a
weekend trip to see some family I have in South Carolina. I should have limited
e-mail access during the weekend, but I'm not sure.
Anyways, thats about it from the Officer, there is a LOT of SW News in this
report. Let's get to it..
======================================
~* Conventions & Gatherngs *~
Celebration 3 Location Chosen in August
The location of Celebration 3 will be chosen in August, and will also be
announced at the end of August. Lisa Stevens from the Fan Club also stated that
they expected to do more Celebrations in the future after Episode III. Stay
tuned!
The Art of Star Wars exhibit tours Japan
Fans wanting to see C-3PO up close and personal, or stand next to a podracer,
now have their chance with The Art of Star Wars, a new major museum exhibition
featuring over 200 pieces of artwork, props, and costumes from the original Star
Wars trilogy is traveling throughout Japan in 2003 and 2004.
The Art of Star Wars exhibition explores the genesis and production of the films
in the Star Wars saga. It includes original objects used in the creation of the
films, from concept artwork and production paintings to models, prototypes,
costumes and props from the archives of Lucasfilm, Ltd.
Fans will not be disappointed with the bounty of objects on display which
include art of stormtroopers, C-3PO, R2-D2, Darth Vader, the Emperor, Yoda,
Chewbacca and a major Jabba the Hutt model. In addition to various costumes on
display worn by beloved characters of Luke, Leia and Han Solo, there are also
plenty of production drawings and paintings, storyboards and posters (including
the Revenge of the Jedi poster mock-up, which was later changed to Return of the
Jedi.)
Thanks to the The Art of Star Wars exhibit fans gain an understanding of the
evolution from Ralph McQuarrie's production paintings to what is seen on screen.
Many of the displays showcase illustrated ideas, prototypes and final models, so
fans can get a better grasp of the overall creative process in a linear fashion.
Lucasfilm Collections Manager Laela French, Lucasfilm Director of Special
Programs Kathleen Holliday and Industrial Light and Magic Master Model Maker
Lorne Peterson traveled to Japan to help the staff at the prestigious Kyoto
National Museum prepare for the exhibit.
Five will host The Art of Star Wars, which will travel Japan throughout 2003 and
2004. The exhibition opened at the Kyoto National Museum with a grand ribbon
cutting ceremony attended by President of Lucas Licensing Howard Roffman and
none other than C-3PO himself, actor Anthony Daniels.
Following this first exhibition at the Kyoto National Museum, tentative dates
and venues are:
Nagoya Science Museum
October-December 2003
Kyoto National Museum (Episodes I & II)
January-March 2004
Tokyo National Science Museum
March-June 2004

Excerpt - Force Heretic III: Reunion
Introduction
The Jedi move one step closer to saving the embattled galaxy -- only to confront
a formidable wall of resistance in the novel, Star Wars: The New Jedi Order:
Force Heretic III: Reunion by best-selling writing duo Sean Williams and Shane
Dix. The harrowing search for Zonama Sekot is finally over for Luke Skywalker,
Jacen Solo, and the others aboard the Jade Shadow. But joy turns to alarm when
the living planet sends a defiant message: it refuses to follow them back to a
galaxy full of war, exploitation, and misery. While Luke works feverishly to
persuade the elusive planet to reconsider, the Yuuzhan Vong launches a
full-scale attack aimed at the heart of the new alliance. Sent to defend a major
communications base, Han and Leia find themselves hopelessly outnumbered.
Reinforcements are just too far away to help before everything is destroyed. So
the courageous pair must now fight an unrelenting battle against staggering
odds. Whether they actually survive is another matter.

Jedi Academy Release Date
September 16th has been announced as the release date of the upcoming Jedi
Academy. The news come curtesy JK2Files along with box art that is supposed to
be "very close to the final design of the actual cover art (though not exact)".
Check the link to see the image.
New Jedi Academy Media
Jedi-Knight2.de has posted three new videos, as well as new screenshots of Jedi
Academy. Now before your rush over there, their servers are pretty slow, and
overloaded, so TheForce.net have mirrored the videos. All three videos are
zipped WMV's. None is over 3.3 Mb.
The First Video is a Kel Dor wielding two sabers and fighting a Dark Jedi
(probably) who also weild two sabers. The action is fast and intense, and, in my
opinion strikes a blow to those who wanted more realistic saber combat; the
action seems to be a lot of button mashing, and I couldn't see any type of
strategy really.
The second video is what appears to be a female human who wields two yellow
sabers. She takes out a hangar of bad guys shooting at her with blaster rifles,
and one Imperial Heavy Repeater. She force pulls a few, and deflects a bunch of
bolts. The bolt-deflection looked very cool, and level very nice, but really,
nothing new was presented, except for her waving her second saber around.
The Third Video shows a person wielding one saber (finally) who
gets attacked by some tuskan raiders on Tatooine. She is knocked down, rolls
around, gets up, uses a nice combo to take out two of the three Raiders, then
pushed and slices the last.
The Screenshots are something very new. They include information about system
info, install screens, setup, the pull down console, and the character
customization screen.

*** Hyperspace members only ***
Starwars.com Hyperspace brings you closer than ever before possible to the
making of a Star Wars film. Next month, one lucky Hyperspace member will even
win a trip to the Episode III set(Only 10 days left for the contest). But now,
Hyperspace members need no longer be content with just observing the newest Star
Wars epic unfold, they will determine what's in the movie. Director George Lucas
and the Episode III Droid Unit have decided to let Hyperspace members determine
the look of a new droid to appear on the big screen in the summer of 2005. While
Obi-Wan Kenobi may not remember owning a droid, you'll be able to select a
memorable paint scheme for his new astro-unit in Episode III. In the film, this
new droid will accompany Kenobi on a mission aboard his Jedi starfighter. There
are four color schemes, represented here as concept art, from which to choose.
The first is a striped design, with a unique metallic gray blue pattern along a
pewter dome. The second design features a metallic camouflage green eye and
selected panels, aluminum panels, and a pewter dome. The third design has an
embossed circuitry look with raised surface detail on a gunmetal gray head. The
fourth design is very metallic, featuring copper panels on a bronze dome.
To vote for your favorite design, click here. Only Hyperspace members can vote
in the poll. The poll closes at Sunday, August 3, 5 p.m. (Pacific). The Droid
Unit will take winning astromech design into fabrication.

RO Report #20: 08.08.03
<Salute>
Greetings from the Recon Office.
Only a little news from my off this week.
RA Shay'la has contacted ex-ROA Major Loor and he has given Shay'la all codes
and items related to the RO Website. She is now in full control of the site and
plans alittle change.
She has also contacted AD Zsinj and is working with him on updating and possibly
improving the Recon Office's Convention Database. Hopefully thease two projects
will be in full swing within a week or two.
The letters/interviews (atleast the first set) is going out either tomorrow or
the next day. We have approval on both so we are finally getting them off. I
will draw up the next 5 lucky actors/actresses this week too. Hopefully we can
get this to be a bi-weekly or atleast monthly process. Keep your fingers
crossed.
Last thing.. I have been looking at the RO Banner on the EH News page.. and it's
kinda outdated. I am thinking of running an EH-wide comp in a week or two to see
if we can get a better one. If that's okay with the FC and XO that is. ;)
That's it from me, Time for your weekly dose of SW News..

Vader Invades U.S. while Greedo Busts Out
When Koto, Inc. released this striking 1:7 scale soft vinyl kit in Japan last
year with little fanfare this side of the Pacific, it took a groundswell of buzz
from the online collector forums to bring this gem to the attention of the Star
Wars collecting community. It became an instant hit among collectors and fans
alike, quickly draining the inventories of many major importers. For those who
missed it, Dark Horse Comics has stepped up and closed the geographical gap to
bring us this masterfully sculpted Dark Lord of the Sith. Beckoning
confrontation, this dramatically imposing figure stands 13" tall and bears full
homage to the elegance of his sinister design. It's sure to please both figure
collectors and admirers of cinema's most celebrated villain.
Darth Vader is the first of a series of figures already released by Koto (Kotobukiya)
in Japan, including a clonetrooper, Jango Fett, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and a Mace /
Yoda combination kit which follow the dramatic tradition established by the
Vader figure. Exciting times are ahead for fans of this popular series as Dark
Horse works on plans to bring these items to a broader audience.
The Darth Vader figure comes packaged in a large window box, and will be priced
at $99.99. Because of its new domestic distribution, this price is relatively
low compared to what fans have been paying to import the figure directly from
Japan. This kit is scheduled to be available December 3.
Meanwhile, Dark Horse continues the tradition of distributing the quality Gentle
Giant mini-busts with a new release. Greedo, the first in a long line of bounty
hunters introduced to Star Wars fans, is making his Gentle Giant debut on
November 12. Using cutting-edge technology of three-dimensional scanning, Gentle
Giant Studios scans the actors, models, costumes, and props to assure 100%
realism, making these statues the closest one can come to owning a piece of the
Star Wars universe.
Greedo will measure 6.5" tall, and retail for $45. You may want to shoot first
if you want to take this famous Rodian home!
Update From The Floor
As reported by Rebelscum.com
"We've updated our Wizard World coverage with new images from the Hasbro booth.
Stop by our Hasbro Gallery now for images of the latest basic and deluxe figures
announced for later this year!"
Blue Clone Troopers In Chicago
As reported by Rebelscum.com
The Gentle Giant Blue Clone Trooper mini-bust (a Lieutenant ranking in the Clone
Trooper army) will be making an appearance at Wizard World this weekend in
Chicago. Distribution of the bust will be handled a bit differently than what
they did at the recent San Deigo Comic Con, however.
For the first several days of Comic Con, those who were willing to wait in the
line could generally expect to snag a bust (it was about two per person the
first day, and one per person after that). Supplies at Wizard World won't be
quite so plentiful, so the method of distribution will be a little different.
According to the Gentle Giants booth, the Clone Troopers will be raffled off.
One ticket per person, and that ticket is good for the whole show. Drawings will
take place each day at 3 o'clock. The winner will be allowed to purchase a
single mini-bust, and must be present with their winning ticket by the close of
the show on the day the ticket was drawn.
Difficult to get, but a fair method just the same. Good luck to attendees hoping
to walk away with one of the 1000 busts!
Update: We just got word that there will only be 25 busts available for purchase
today (Friday). Still waiting to hear on the other two days, though the numbers
are very likely going to be similar...

November 2003 Comics
Jungle Vader, alternate Return of the Jedi plots and female Dark Jedi: here's a
look at what Star Wars fans can expect from Dark Horse Comics this November.
After the destruction of the Death Star, Darth Vader attempts to make it to an
Imperial safe haven in his crippled TIE fighter, only to crash land in a savage
wilderness. Forced to make his way on foot, attacked by ferocious native
carnivores, Vader shucks off the restraints of Imperial order and Sith schemes
and embraces his raw, wild power. Star Wars: Empire #15 delivers a rare view of
Vader like you've never seen him before. The story is written by Paul Alden and
Raul Trevino, and features cover art byFrancisco Ruiz Velasco. Star Wars: Empire
#15 is scheduled for release in November.
The third installment of Infinities, a series that asks the question, "What
would happen if you changed one little thing from the story in the film?" takes
on the plot of Return of the Jedi. In this version, an accident puts C-3PO out
of commission, and he is unable to act as Jabba the Hutt's interpreter during
his negotiations with Leia (disguised as the bounty hunter Boushh) for her
"prisoner" Chewbacca. One misunderstanding leads to another, and before they
realize it, thermal detonators are flying and everybody's shooting! When the
smoke clears, Boba Fett has reclaimed Han Solo's frozen body, Leia has
commandeered Jabba's sail barge, and Luke is going to be late for an important
rendezvous on Dagobah. Star Wars: Infinities - Return of the Jedi #1, the first
in a series of four, is written by Adam Gallardo, Ryan Benjamin and Saleem
Crawford, and features cover art by Rodolfo Migliari, and is scheduled for
release on Nov. 12.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is alive, but maybe not for long. He and Alpha, the ARC trooper,
are prisoners in the castle of the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress. Not knowing how the
Republic forces on Jabiim are faring, or even if Anakin is still alive, Obi-Wan
and Alpha make a bid for freedom. But their only chance lies in General Kenobi
temporarily casting off his Jedi training and fighting Ventress with the same
ruthlessness that she herself brings to the battle!Star Wars: Republic #60 is
written by Haden Blackman and Brian Ching, with cover art also by Ching, and is
scheduled for release on Nov. 19.

Star Wars CCG Rulings Q&A
The 2003 Star Wars:CCG World Championships are fast approaching. Only three
weeks remain, and we know that all of you are busy gearing up your latest and
greatest decks. However, we also know from past experience that a lot of you are
going to incorporate combos that may hinge on questionable interpretations of
the rules and card texts. In an effort to avoid such problems at the Star Wars
CCG's most important event of the year, Greg Anderson, SW:CCG Rules Advocate,
will be hosting a 90 minute Q&A session on Decipher's Star Wars Gameplay
Messageboard. This will be held at 5:30 PM EDT on August 14, 2003 and will run
until 7:00 PM EDT. As was the case last year, 'Rules theory' will not be
entertained. All questions must relate to specific cards or combos. Then, based
on the questions asked during the Q&A, Greg expects to publish a new Rule Sheet
on August 19, so that everyone has at least a week to look it over before Day 1.
We hope to see you there!

The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi
Greetings all...
As most of you know DGM Darkov resigned earlier this week. Following is my post
from the news page...
That means I'm taking apps:
Requirements:
none... thats right, none. I want apps and you need to figure out what the
requirements are on your own. I won't answer any questions about it on IRC or
via email.
So impress me.
I have received several good apps already but there is still time if you are
interested. Send in your app and I will be interviewing prospective candidate
and discussing them with the DC over the next couple of days before I make a
decision for the GA's approval.
the Apostacy comp is currently running, sign up and get information at http://www.impstar.net/vendetta/
Yes we are all aware that there is no DGM at the moment so all submission go to
KE Frey and KP Rage Akaido as they have graciously taken up that duty with the
departure of DGM Darkov.
The roleplaying system is coming along nicely and I hope all of you enjoy it. I
know that I have been pretty close mouthed about it so far but I at least want
to get it into a draft format before you all pick it apart. Hopefully by the end
of next week I'll have that available for everyone to go over.
I hope everyone will congratulate me. I just got my medallion for resisting SWG
for 5 days straight. I've even uninstalled it from my system and given the CDs
away to my brother... the evil spectre of Evercrack for Star Wars geeks will
bother me no more. :)
Also I thought I'd give you this update on the Robes, Lightsabers and Grant of
Arms. While Kethoron is set to take up the mantle of Herald when he returns from
Greece in 2 weeks his Praetor has been busy. Gelton has been acting HRLD in his
stead. Keth before he went on leave came up with some blanks for robes that I
think you'll all be pleased with. Also Gelt has come up with a system that will
give us some 20,000 potential lightsaber combinations and I can't wait to see
it. Also he had laid out new graphics for the Grant of Arms and a potential way
to automate a large portion of their creations... though the HRLD and P:HRLD do
want to personalize each one towards the end of their creation.
From the Chancellor
Welcome to another edition of the CHAN Report.
It's been a busy week awarding medals again; big heaps were awarded for the
Tarentum Phoenix competition and the Grand Master's Throne competition. The last
named competition gave OBM Gelton Torr (Tarentum CON) his *second* Emerald
Dagger. Watch your back in the dark, I'd say.
In regard to the DSC, I have completed coding a backend that allows for easy
changes to things like layout and extensive cross-linking, and have copied over
several chapters in it so far. If you wanna see what I'm doing, you can take a
peek at http://borgcube.xs4all.nl/dsc/view.php while I'm online.
In other news, multiplayer matches in #ehcoc will be coming back for
the DB. Me and Autoris Maximus are currently working on a new version of the
competition script that will feature support for the DB and DB-specific
platforms (Jedi Knight and Jedi Outcast).
That's it for now,

*take 2, yahoo just freaked out on me, have to retype*
-Plans are in the works for a major restructuring of the HF rosters. We will be
moving more towards a special forces model, with specialized detachments for our
various trooper types. Platoon leaders will also have slightly fewer troops
under their command, but they will be given much greater responsibility over
their troops. The squad leader position will change a bit and they will be doing
a job similar to a FL in the TC.
-The CSMA office has launched, CSMA2K. Basically a push to get over 2000 courses
graded for the CSMA office. Whats after CSMA2K? CSMA3K of course.
-From LtCol. Domingo Chavez.. This is it, guys. Operation Hurricane begins in
one week, and I need volunteers. There's a section of the Op (Namely, the run
on. :P) dedicated solely to the Airborne troopers, and if you want to get in on
that group listen up. What I need is two officers to lead the shebang, two NCOs
ranked Staff Sergeant or better, and eight NCO's under the rank of SSG. All of
the volunteers should e-mail me personally (eh_janson@shaw.ca) with their name,
and if not already =AIR= certified, be sure to get so by next Friday, when the
op starts!
-Operation Bright Light is finishing up, keep on posting guys, we need to bring
this thing to the an end shortly. Make sure to do the other activities also,
shinnies will be given out and your id line will increase in length :)
-Offical HF dress uniforms are being worked on. Suggestions are being thrown out
and new stuff is being added by the day, they are looking great. (yay for MS
Paint)
That's about all I have this week.

<salute>
Greetings troopers. Yes, I´m back! My leave got a little out of control
last month, but I´m here and back to work.
-First of all, I´d like to announce our intention to acquire new ships
to refit our fleet and transport capabilities.
We´ll ask the übber boss for a AFRG for each detachment, and a Strike
cruise for GS.
The lFRG will stay as fire cover. But it´s up for the upper links in
chain of command to decide if we´ll have those ships or not!
-LTC Delak returned and he´s now in charge of the Hammer´s Fist Tactical
Command, our SWGB special unit. Details with him or the Field Manual.
-Looks like I´m going to put my hands on SWG pretty soon. As soon as I
get it, I´ll think of something so we can use the game.
So far I thought only about some tasks and so, and according to the
number of our trooper using the game, we can think of other stuff, as
Operations.
Again, I still need to put my dirty hands on it to discover it better.
-As most of the GS agreed, we´ll run a significant change on the
structure. More details when Dingo returns! Basically we´ll rename the
squads to detachments and give proper job to some troopers.
-Dark Legionnaire? What is it? Well, we better get it online soon, so
bring on the submissions! Email me for that with DL as subject!
hf_mordred@uol.com.br
-I´m changing again the medal & award meeting. The argument to make not
the troopers wait for rewards fade out the importance of it! Doing it
monthly again will make them work to get promoted and I´m working on a
nice promoting table so I can check on everyone´s progress from time to
time!
-CRO Lander also made sure to note the importance of pirate movies n our
culture and stated "Pirates of the Caribbean. It has pirates in. And I
like it. It's a very good movie"
-PRG is going fine. No big trouble with those kids. We´re now officially
enroled at the COC, so we expect some increase in the games.
From CO office:
News:
Operation Bright Light is winding down (alittle late) and LTC Chavez is
about to begin Operation Hurricane. I apologize for extending the
runon,
but everyone seems to be writing good posts (even Kuro is somewhat in
the
right place).
Scores and awards will be announced this weekend for Operation Bright
Light.
Upcoming Operations:
Operation Hurricane commences this evening at 1930 CST after the
meeting.
Other news:
Uniforms are progressing. We are about 60% complete with rank images
and
devices. Dress Uniform base template is designed.
That´s all
Thanks

INFILTRATOR WING FLIGHT OFFICER REPORT
Acting Commander of the Infiltrator wing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flight officer & Acting Infiltrator wing commanders Address
I am hoping to have some good news for everyone Soon, regarding the infiltrator
wing Site, I have heard rumors our Head people have made contact with our
Hosts.. Well done timmay and Gavin.
Once the site is operational, The infiltrator wing will be once
again be looking good. Both wings are remaining active, And despite the lack of
a operation web site. We are still getting recruits in. Well done to those
responsible for recruiting new members.
Keep up the Great work people.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IW MELEE DIRECTOR CHOSEN
I would like to congratulate Colonel Madhatter on him being chosen as the IWMD..
He has been most active in the melee and he understands what the IW melee needs.
I hope his presence and idea's, Kick start a new Multi player
Regime here in the infiltrator wing.
Below is his first Statement. Enjoy
ADDITION #1:
I will be introducing a Craft Specific Mini-Comp within the Melee, meaning, A
craft will be selected at the beginning of the month and the pilot who attains
the most KILLS in that craft for the month will be awarded a WRC, and be deemed
"Craft Adept" for the given craft that month. I am hoping this will instill
interest in those who prefer to fly a specific craft and move them to want to
compete.
ADDITION #2:
I am also introducing the "Battle the Legends" mini-comp as well. The way this
will work is simple. A pilot of the IW will simply make an open challenge over
the IW Egroup to one of the IW Melee Legends
VA Mailk - 531 Wins - Xwing - Tie interceptor
VA Darkmage - 543 Wins ( 23 times winner of the IW Melee ) Tie interceptor -
FA Moreco - 189 Wins ( 8 times winner of the IW Melee ) A- Wing
The challenged Legend MUST then ACCEPT the pilot's offer for a melee. Upon
acceptance, it will be up to the two to arrange the battle.
The melee will be flown 5/5, no exceptions. IF the pilot WINS, he will be
awarded:
1st Win = MC-2
2nd Win = MC-1
5th WIn = WRC
10th Win = CBV (After attaining 10 wins, the cycle starts over)
****NOTE**** To be ELIGIBLE for the CBV, you MUST have flown at least two of the
Legends more than 2 times.
***NOTE*** Legends matches MUST be challenged over the IW Egroup!! They will
count as normal melees unless that is done!! Then, the message from the D-Base
MUST be FWDed to me! HaTTer@Infiltrator-Wing.com
In the case of craft specific Legends, the Challenger MUST fly the craft that
the Legend is known for. Example, If you challenge FA Moreco, the match MUST be
flown in A-Wings. Kill Legends can fly whichever craft the pilots decide on.
ADDITION #3:
This isn't really an addition, but more of an aid to the pilots who wish to
melee. I will be adding an IRC channel to aid those seeking Melee matches. This
will not be a channel for idling, just for arranging matches and finding out who
really wants to be a part of the IW Melee.
Channel will be #IW-Melee. Hope to see it filled up soon!
Well that is all I have for now, I have more ideas in this noggin of mine that
may show themselves after I evaluate the status of the Melee.
Have fun everyone and I hope to see the Database getting filled up quickly!!!

Been a good week for the Division, with progress being made. Alot of the
Trainee's who have exceeded their Three Month limitation period (they had three
months to complete their training) have been removed, creating a more accurate
roster count.
VA Leeson this week got around to completing quite a bit of the new roster, with

wish to be in. If you wish to be a part of CDNG, you should also email AbK
stating so.

1. SDIR returns from leave.
Yes it’s true, I’ve returned to save you all from As and Davi ;). I’ve finished
reading all the email I received while I was away so you should receive replies
shortly. I’m still very jet lagged and hence not thinking clearly so I’ll hold
off on making any important decisions for a few days, such as what medals to
award to those who have taken over my duties during
my absence.
2. ExDIR on leave
As you should have already heard, Aseret is on leave between July 29th andAugust
14th.
3. Commendations of Loyalty
It’s fast approaching [CoL] time (see the TC manual for medal details). COs
please send recommendations to me ASAP.
4. Academy of Tactics Situation
I’m not entirely sure what’s going on at the AoT at present since I’ve yet to
speak to Raith since returning from leave but, in case it is warranted, here is
the usual announcement….
I’ve started to receive notification of general test marks; however there is
still a backlog of tests at the AoT. I believe Raith’s last guess was that there
are around a 100 different submissions still to mark. Marking tests isn’t fun at
the best of times so please help him out -
a) Only send in tests once. VA Raith has received your tests.
Sending him another copy of your answers every couple of days is not helpful and
it’s very demoralizing for Raith.
b) Only submit one test. If you're waiting for your General test
to be marked possibly the LEAST constructive thing you can do is to then go
through the AoT and submit as many of the other tests as you can - if a trainee
sends 6-10 tests in while he waits for the General test to be graded the only
effect it will have is that it'll take 6-10 times longer to grade them...
c) If you've submitted the General test then please email me -
sdir@ehintel.org <mailto:jediaseret@yahoo.com> - and she'll assign you to a
Bureau, where I assure you there is plenty of work to be done.
5. Agents Com-link
I have loads of stuff lying around which could be assembled into a reasonable
looking Com-link (Intel’s newsletter) so hopefully a new edition will be
released before the month is out. If you have anything which you feel would make
a nice addition to the Com-link (please feel free to produce new stuff too) send
it to me at sdir@ehintel.org <mailto:sdir@ehintel.org> and you’ll receive
something delightful and shiny (also known as a medal).
6. Recruitment
The Intelligence Division is still actively recruiting. If you’d like more
information about the Intelligence Division please go here: <http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=6690>
or alternatively email me at sdir@ehintel.org <mailto:sdir@ehintel.org>. If
anyone already within the Division can think of someone who they reckon would
make a great agent then please recommend them to me and I’ll get in touch.
(Don’t approach them yourself unless you’re a BUDR or above though).
7. INTORG Recruitment
I have five open spaces left in INTORG. If you are interested in a position with
the IDs elite Bureau email sdir@ehintel.org <mailto:sdir@ehintel.org> and I’ll
get back to you with more details of the positions available.
SDIR Report 12: 08.07.03
