Play Star Wars Galaxies? Join the Official EH PA! : 11/25/03
As Emailed From:  Jahn Compton

Loyal members of the Emperor’s Hammer – do you need a home? Have you been traveling from planet to planet, or even galaxy to galaxy, looking for the PA that’s right for you? Have you been looking for an Imperial-only PA, one that is strong enough to have its own city? If so, then look no further than your own back yard - the Empire’s Hammer* might be what you’re searching for.

The Official EH PA is based on the Chilastra server and currently numbers almost 50 members. Our city Sanctum Malleus, on the beautiful planet Talus, currently boasts 25 citizens, many vendors and has already been upgraded to Village status. We’ve got a great design and are working very hard to have the best looking city in the game.

We have members with a variety of professions in the PA, and encourage everyone to have the kind of character they want to play – we won’t ask you to be a Dancer if you want to be a Bounty Hunter, and vice versa. We work hard to make sure our new members get the resources and equipment they need to get a strong start in the game. Then there’s my favorite part of the game – killing Rebels.

And we have EH celebrities, too! Ever wanted the opportunity to hobnob with notable Fleet personages such as SSSD Sovereign Commodore Proton, Executive Officer Astatine, former XO and legend-in-his-own-mind Compton or even the Fleet Commander himself, GA Ronin? Well now you can!

For more info on what the EH PA is up to, stop by our message board at http://www.theholo.net/mb/viewforum.php?f=12. Feel free to browse about and ask questions. Some of our members have been playing since Beta, and we’ve got a lot of knowledge to share about the game. Even if you don’t have the game yet, this is a great place to learn about the fastest-growing MMORPG of all time.

Contact either Longshot, Jahn, Tairn or Krenn’sa in the game or e-mail Longshot at gnlongshot@aol.com to join the most exciting new part of the Emperor’s Hammer experience!

Executive Officer, Emperor’s Hammer PA
Sanctum Malleus, Talus

*We were forced to take the name Empire’s Hammer due to naming conventions in the game. Evidently SOE won’t let anyone use the word “Emperor’s.”

The EH Census is finally ready for the Fleet to take part in. If you've kept up with my reports you know that I feel this will be a great tool for those of us in leadership roles in the EH to more accurately gauge what the membership would like to get out of their experience in the club.

All members of the EH are encouraged to participate and asked to please answer all questions with honesty. There are a few regarding thoughts on senior officers, and we assure you that your private information will never be made public, so you may answer without fear of reproach.

The Census can be found at http://cosmic.nailed.org/census.

Thanks in advance for your participation and desire to help us make the EH a better place for everyone.

Flight Office Report #10:  11.27.03

"Cyric, you're just a roster byatch!"

<salute>

Welcome to my 10th report as Flight Officer! I've got some good and bad news this week, so lets begin...

First and foremost, I have the honor and privilege to announce the promotion of the ATF BGCOM, VA Khane. VA Khane has served as ATF BGCOM for over 7 months. He had the very difficult task of rebuilding, and keeping the ATF in order during the rDB incident. Since then, the ATF has become a very active group, with monthly comps such as the BJ COMP (That's BG Judgment Comp) and managed to bring in new people to the group. This promotion is a long time in coming and very much well deserved. So without further ado, VA Khane is from this point on granted the rank and privileges of Full Admiral. Congrats AD Khane!

Next up are the winners of the TCCOM's OWN Banner comp. I received several outstanding banners from the following individuals:

LC Kodiak Kereban
LT Meanman
LCM Zeth Durron
LT Shayn D'Lorien
MAJ CrimsonFury
Captain Kane Reese
LT Derek Klivian
CM Archangel

It was very tough to choose from such outstanding submissions, but I did.

First Place - IS-GR Captain Reese
Second Place - IS-SR LCM Zeth Durron
Third Place - IS-BR LT Meanman

Congrats to the Winners, and thank you to all of the other members who submitted their banners!

With this on our Minds I have selected my very first TCCOM's OWN! This wing has been extremely active over the course of several months. They have flown, they have been a cohesive unit within the TC, and above all, they took the bull by the horns and recruited their butts off to have the most amount of pilots in a TC WING. Above all, each and every member in this wing is active to some degree and is a great example of what the TC and the EH as a whole represents: Teamwork, dedication, devotion, and having fun. For this I award WING XIII of the ISD GREYWOLF the honor of TCCOM'S OWN! Congrats pilots, you've earned it!

By now you've heard the the COO and the SO are being replaced. Please hold all MP questions for the new COO when he/she is chosen!

That's all from the Flight Office!

Happy Turkey Day to you Americans!

In Service.....

<Salute>

"Proton, you've either had too much to drink, or not enough!"

Welcome to another Flight Office report! The week after Thanksgiving...things are a bit slow with in the TC at the moment. I have processed quite a few new recruits into the TC, and just finished 8 promotional requests!

The TCCOM's OWN is back. As many of you know WING XIII has gained the first honors from me. What I plan on doing is making the TCCOM's OWN a Bi-Monthly award instead of the traditional monthly award. This gives wings and ships a chance to revamp their activities, and gives the wining group a chance to revel in the award. Next awarding will be in January 2004.

I've processed a good amount of cadets from daedalus. I need to remind everyone the importance of having the Commander and FL spots filled. This will ensure that Cadets will be placed in your squadrons. No FL's and CMDRS, No cadets...plain and simple.

Wing IV WC is open. LC Wolverine had to step down due to RL issues.

That's it from the Flight Office....until next week!

:: [ Internet Office News ] ::

Coming to you from snowy winterland, it's the IO Report!
Last week, the EH Library was completed! The EH Library serves as a place to post your fictions, biographies, and EH histories. All submissions are reviewed individually by a "librarian" working for the Internet Office as well as the Logistics Officer. It is our hope that everyone will at one point make use of this service. Thanks to CPT Drako for his hard work on it! It's at http://ehlibrary.minos.net.

On a related note, I would like to announce TWO congratulations - to CPT Drako and COL von Reinthaler - on both receiving the Commendation of Excellence medal. This is a rare medal that is reserved only for people who have consistently proven their prowess with web design skills, and the two of them have certainly shown that - as the SOTW record shows! Good job, guys!

CPT Amadeo has been removed from the position of IOA. I am not formally looking for anyone to fill the space, however if you do have a pressing urge to let me know that you're interested in the position, drop me and email and we'll talk.

XPS (eXtensible Polling System) is still in the works (I guess I grossly underestimated the time it'd take to create something like it, because it's very flexible), so I'm sorry for the delay, but I can assure you that I'm hard at work on it and it'll be worth it.

Finally, I would like to announce a new Internet Office competition, SOTW Bonanza! Basically, in order to bring more interest to creating good sites - I'll be awarding an IS-SR to anyone who receives a SOTW award from now till January 2nd! So - congrats this week to LT Tiamat!

:: [ Emperor's Hammer: Site of the Week ] ::

This week's SOTW is the Vortex Squadron site created by LT Tiamat (tiamat69@interia.pl) at http://vortexsquadron.minos.net - congrats on your 4 star site!

OPS Report #12:  11.29.03

I'm using my break from work to send this. The days after Thanksgiving are truly terror in the retail business. Our store made $350,000 in one day yesterday. That's 10% of our total budget for the year. TERROR!

Come on people, let's award some medals or something! At least put some through so I can deny them for no good reason! SO SLLOOOOWWW!

I guess it's Thanksgiving. But now that Thanksgiving's over let's get back into the flow of things.

OPS Report #13:  12.05.03

Oh the weather outside is frightful. But the fire is so delightful. I don't know the rest of the words...Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

OK, It seems only one person actually reads my reports, because I only had to deny 1 medal this week. And that was a medal for me! See, I'm not trying to prop myself up onto 1000 ISMs (Although having the power to do so is extremely nice :P) I should be plastered with MSEs, so I'll stop whining now.

Many people have mailed me about my operations website links not working. That's mainly because there's no image map up there, they're not supposed to work yet :-P http://www.ehoperations.com/manual/ is where you can find the OPSMAN, and my OPSA Turtle is going to get the uniform downloads up soon enough.

And now a shameless plug for Tempest, everyone who hasn't already downloaded TTT go do it! It's so simple! http://ttt.tiecorps.net

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

As computer security can help insure that a virus does not spread through the Emperor's Hammer as it has done before, the Security Office will now be running update reminders and working to educate members on the importance of maintaining a secure computer. Stay tuned to these reports for vital information to protect your computer. Initially, the Security Officer would like to recommend the following measures:

1. In general, all members should run Windows Update at least once per month, to insure all necessary measures have been taken to protect your system.

To Run Windows Update : Click start, click Windows Update at the top of the Start Bar, follow the steps.

2. It is advised that all members obtain a virus scanner. Personally, I recommend McAfee, however there are free options available for those on a budget. Listed below is my personal recommendation for a free scanner.

http://download.com.com/3000-2239-10245925.html?tag=lst-3-2 Avast 4 Home Edition

Remember to update your DAT files regularly to insure maximum protection.

3. It is advised that all members obtain a firewall. For those of you running Windows XP, one has been included. Be sure to enable it. For everyone else, I recommend the following:

Sysgate version 5 or higher
Tiny Personal Firewall
McAfee Guardian (usually included with the retail version of McAfee
VirusScan.)

4. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the Security Officer.

Logistics Office Report #24:  11.29.03

Here it comes again, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, no…it’s Darknyte! Another mind-boggling edition of the Logistics Office report starts now!

Yet another week has went by and I’ve heard nothing from the Corporate Division regarding my website contract. I tried contacting both MWO Derek Dan this week on IRC and got no responses, so I’ve sent off yet another email pleading with him for status on this. I really don’t feel that great that I’ve strung this project along for so long, if I’d known at the start that there would be so many problems getting the template created by the Corporate Division I’d just have made an ugly site myself to use in the interim until a cleaner design could be made. Now we’ve committed ourselves to the CD contract, and I feel obligated to see it through to completion.

The EH Library opened this week, a joint project between the IO and LO office, with the vast majority of the work being done by Ari and his staff. This is Ari’s baby right now, but I would like to remind everyone that all historical documents must be reviewed and approved by this Office before they are submitted to the Library for archival purposes. I’m not doing this to try to steal some of Ari’s thunder, he created the thing and I merely contributed very minor ideas here and there. I just feel strongly that any document that is going to be placed up for public viewing as EH history must be approved by the proper officers before it becomes public.

The EH Census project continues to baffle the coding efforts of VA Matir. There seem to still be a few minor bugs in the code preventing the site from working properly, though I have been assured that the site will be functional very soon, I’ll keep you posted with updates.

That’s if for this week, this is your tour-guide Crazzu McSteedlewich reminding you to help control the pet population, always have your commanding officer spayed or neutered.

Logistics Office Report #25:  12.05.03

Well, we’ve had quite a week in the Logistics Office! The EH Census was rolled out and so far the reception it’s gotten was far greater than we’d hoped for. We’ve also been working with the Internet Office adding things to the EH Library. I’ve been personally adding fictions from the EH Newsletters to the Library to get as much content as possible on the site in a short time.

The Heroes Memorial is still in limbo. During that last few months I’ve been patient with the Corporate Division and haven’t really been too down on them in my reports, but this week that’s all changed. I’d like to say that I am most displeased with how this has been handled, and let everyone know that I hold Warrant Officer Xura Verr (clund1@towson.edu) personally responsible. Verr was assigned the contract through Auroran Technology some time ago and has done nothing but drag his feet for the last 4 to 5 weeks on this. In the beginning he showed some real progress, but now he’s done nothing and has ignored the emails of both myself and the PREX to get it together. This week I will search other avenues to get the site template complete, even if I have to make an ugly design on my own just to get it done. This project was something I was asked personally by the GA to complete, and so far I feel like I’ve totally failed him at even this simple task. For that, I apologize.

As I stated earlier, we rolled out the Census this week. I would like to thank VA Matir for his great efforts in getting the database for this project up and running in a nice timeframe. So far 282 members of the EH have completed the Census, answering a total of 6572 questions. Quite a bit of data has already been gathered, and we hope for quite a bit more before the Census goes offline. I plan to let it run through the month of December and send the final statistics out to the Command Staff shortly after the New Year.

Currently the Logistics Office is exploring new project ideas so that we’ll have something new to start on once the Census is complete. Right now we’re unsure on what sort of thing to do, and we’ll be using data collected from the Census to help us make a decision once the results are all tallied. I’ve also decided this week to add a new section to my report at the end called “Helpful Logistics Links”, expect to see that each week…unless I forget to add it. Also, big congrats to VA Matir who got himself a nice shiny Gold Star of the Empire this week. Yay for Matir, drinks on him.

As always, if you need anything don’t hesitate to contact the Logistics Staff, we’ll do the best we can to help you out. General inquiries can be made to myself directly, if you need help with the Census please direct those to VA Matir CC’ing me on the email.

RO Report # 36:  11.29.03

Greetings from the Recon Office.

First off, I basically said "screw it" today. I finally went out and purchased a Hyperspace Membership. Yes, I'm selling into the mainstream. But damnit, It had some good stuff!! Anyways, From now on I will be able to relate all of the "what's going on" in the SW community as best as it is reported to SW.com.

I'll be requesting that the Recon Office have it's own Message Board, or something of that nature. I have asked the membership at large constantly for ideas, suggestions and things they would like to see. But I usually get nothing. Not even from the CS. If that is denied, I guess ill just use the main EH MB. Any thoughts?

CA:RO Shay'la is busy with college, but her CA Report should be out Sunday. Stay tuned for that.

Apparently im 0 for 9 ( I think ) so far on contact possible Honorary Members. This is getting bad. I know if I keep this up, It will suck for my career. :P Mr. Allston just hasn't responded, which is odd in itself. Hopefully the Holiday Season upon us, maybe they will be a little bit more into giving this time of year. So my efforts will continue.

Now, on to SW News:

***Use the Force to Fight over WWII Enemy Lines***
November 26, 2003

Sometimes a galaxy far, far away is simply right above Normandy. Now players of the LucasArts game Secret Weapons Over Normandy will have the ability to unlock and pilot the Incom T-65 X-wing and Sienar Fleet Systems TIE fighter vehicles from the classic Star Wars universe.

Upon completing the Secret Weapons Over Normandy 15-mission campaign and all 21 challenge missions, skilled pilots will be rewarded with these two memorable starships that are available for use in the game's "Instant Action" mode. Console players will also be able to fly a squadron of X-wings head-to-head against their friend's TIE fighters in split-screen multiplayer mode.

In addition to the realistic look and authentic Star Wars sound effects direct from the Skywalker Sound library, players will also enjoy details such as watching the head of the X-wing's astromech droid track nearby targets

***JEDI INVADE GALAXIES***

The Force now flows through players thanks to new Jedi characters in Star Wars Galaxies.
For the first time, players are now able to achieve Jedi status and spot other Jedi within Galaxies. To help players achieve Jedi status, LucasArts recently added Jedi and Sith Holocrons to Galaxies which reveals one of the requirements for a character. Players can begin their Jedi path as Padawan learners, but once they advance a few steps down that path, they can choose to become a Light Jedi or a Dark Jedi.

The player reaction to the new Jedi characters has been "incredible," LucasArts producer Haden Blackman comments. "All across the game, everyone is talking about Jedi characters with a great excitement and enthusiasm. We're finding that players are all willing to travel great distances just to catch a glimpse of another player with a lightsaber.

"The fact that Jedi are relatively rare makes spotting a Jedi, let alone joining forces with one, a very memorable moment for players. And it's a uniquely Star Wars experience. Those players who have become Jedi are providing a ton of positive feedback on the system and seem very willing to share the experience with other players."

Some of the Jedi-specific content gamers can expect include Jedi skills and Force powers, lightsabers, Force-wielding enemies, and special "loot" in the form of Force crystals (which are used to craft lightsabers) and Holocrons.

"Jedi players can also become the target of bounty hunter missions," Blackman explains. "In the future, we hope to add a number of special Jedi quests and additional enemies."

In addition to the Jedi characters, new mounts and player cities have also been added to Galaxies.

Mounts enable players to move around the large worlds quickly to numerous points of interest.

"And, riding around on a dewback or kaadu is just really fun," Blackman adds.

With the new cities, players can form their own in-game communities, electing a mayor and forming a local militia. "Cities are important for everyone because they can become outposts on otherwise dangerous worlds," Blackman continues. "And those people who belong to cities will form new relationships with other players."

For players new to Galaxies Blackman suggests trying a marksman or a brawler for a profession because they are the easiest to learn and will put players into the action faster. He also recommends playing through the tutorial, as well as talking to other players.

"Other players are very willing to help out new players, and joining a group can be a very rewarding experience," Blackman says.

As for even more new Galaxies content in the near future, Blackman adds, "We hope to have landspeeders and swoop bikes for players to ride sometime next month."

==================================

Okay, that is about it for me. I'll continue to do my best in gaining us another Honorary Member, hopefully my luck changes for the better for that. I'll keep everyone Posted. Thanks!

The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi

GM Report #17:  12.06.03

Greetings again all

As you may or may not have noticed the Dark Voice is back and issue #1 can be found at http://dv.cosmicholonet.org/issue-1/

Thanks again to DarkFinn, Outsider, Zeth and all the others that put so much work into getting this together in less than 30 days.

Let me and the Dark Voice staff know what you think.

Also submissions for both a special Christmas Edition of the Dark Voice as well as it's regularly scheduled release on January 1 are being accepted and need to be sent to dv@cosmicholonet.org

One other thing I wanted to mention was that lately I have noticed a rather large level of disrespect being flung about among members of varying rank.

This needs to stop. We are all working towards a better Dark Brotherhood and infighting is the last thing we need.

So if I hear about any infighting, backstabbing, complaints about superiors decisions, or anything that might be considered a violation of the chain of command I will be dealing with that person myself and if necessary taking it above me.

If you've done anything like I described above... Consider yourselves warned.

Lastly I want to apologize, over the last couple of weeks I've been in a bit of a slump and not doing my job to the best of my ability. I am currently working to correct that so things should be back to normal soon.

<salute>

There has been many changes in the fleet over the last few Days. There has been a restructure of the command Staff and the infiltrator wing has Gained a new Advisor position, I will address the latter first, as I would like to get fleet admiral niksavel, back up and running with a new office.

After lengthy discussions , We have decided the fourth advisors position, will be one of war and not a pretty kind of war, but one the empire does employ.
Fleet Admiral niksavel is now the Bio-Weapons division director (BWD)

Rear Admiral Timmay, please could you add this position to the infiltrator wing main web site.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Command Staff changes

The command Staff of the infiltrator wing, has been cut down to five. And there have been, numerous changes in personnel and there positions this week.
So I will recap, as best I can in this email.

The command Staff now looks like this.

IWCOM : Admiral Darkmage
IWFO : Vice Admiral Boliv
IWOC : Rear admiral Xavier
IWTO : Rear Admiral Hatter
IWSE : Rear Admiral Timmay.

as you have no doubt noticed, There are two positions missing and one added. The reasons behind this are simple and straight forward.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY ISSUES

Security issues... Will now be dealt with by an IW Magistrate, who will choose 3 members of the infiltrator wing ( not in the command Staff ) To look at breaches that crop up.. IF they decide the pilot in question, has broken the CoCs or AoW.. They will be sent to the security office. of the emperors hammer and of course from there to the HCI.

Since, all issues will be dealt with in a group discussion, they can be no shouts of favoritism or abuse of power. Rear Admiral Astix.. Did a great job in this position for 16 months, and I appreciate what he did for us... But astix is a man of great drive and ability and I did not want him , in a command staff position, I don't need.
I wanted him, helping the membership and pushing the infiltrator wing, in his own way.... I wish him luck as his task is not easy.. but one is suited for.

For excellent work, as security officer. I award Read Admiral Astix. Commodore of the MC-90 Renegade... The navy defence medal.

Wear it with pride Admiral, And best of luck in your new position.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TACTICAL ISSUES

Mission creation, has often been a point with me, The emperors hammer has a tactical office, that is open to all members of the emperors hammer... so I believe we do not need a go between at this time, I want officers of great ability in places, they can help the roots of this club. I am not devaluing missions creation in any way of course.. We all love to fly them, and some of us love to make them.. So I am going to actually commission the infiltrator wing guard with some tasks.

From this date forward, The infiltrator wing Guard. will be in complete control of missions and battles from the infiltrator wing. The captain of the Guard, will submit the battles to the Emperors hammer tactical officer, and I would like the Guard, to try and make some missions, Battles.

The former Tactical officer, is now the operations and communications officer, where XS... will no doubt do an exceptional job.

Grats to you on your new position and Thank you for your hard work as tactical officer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IWSE and IWFO

Vice Admiral boliv, has taken over from me as flight officer of the infiltrator wing. I am sure he will continue were I left off and I am confident, his guidance will be invaluable in these times, as the infiltrator wing grows.

I would also like to Welcome Rear admiral Timmy to the command Staff. I decided to place Timmy for his dedication and what he provides for the group. the IWSE is working on templates for squadron commanders to use... and I am going to ask Vice Admiral malik. To make banners for each squadron.. The main IW site. will then have a squadron web page list... Each banner will be a direct link to your web site... The URL for this site, will be included in the new join Email, that all cadets will receive. Squadron web pages are once again mandatory as are Ship and wing sites... They don't have to be all singing and dancing, just informative.

Rear Admiral Timmy is available to answer your Questions, should you have any... the IWSE will report bi-weeky on his progress.

Congrats on your new positions Gentleman.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ending comments.

It has been a week of change and uncertainty for many, The infiltrator wing will go on as normal now, and working together. We will achieve our goal of 100 members and then beyond. MY office door is always open and I am always around to talk to everyone from the highest ranking command staff to the new guy, who arrived this morning. This group is more than simply imperials using rebel equipment, its a large group of friends working towards a common goal. And we do it with a style and great sense of fun, not seen anywhere else in the emperors hammer's strike fleet.

Thank you for your time.

IWCOM Report:  12.05.03

<salute>

The group has began to settle down, New appointments and mass change of course will take its toll on people. but I am most impressed with the progress of the changes and how each individual has responded to it.

Now that the group has been reshaped, I am now very confident we can progress, to our goals. Of course, I have been asked the Question. What are our goals.

Well, 2004 is all about growth for us.

I am please to see, That the good people at Lucas arts, have gotten of the behinds and are making two new Games for us. on the PC format.

The first is a different outlook on battlefield 1942.. and hopefully will reignite interest in multiplayer combat, and perhaps get the EH some new players in the process. and of course the infiltrator wing.

Check this out : http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/starwarsbattlefront/news_6084869.html

The other game is a first person shooter, but it should Generate interest in the emperors hammer, regardless. even if its Republic commando's.

Of course, I hear a lot and talk a lot about getting new people in, but I also want to increase the fun of those here already.. I look around the infiltrator wing and I see a lot of old people and some bright new faces. And I very much wish to ascertain what they want from the IW. The best advert for any organization is word of mouth and rave reviews from those in it... I will be starting some forums and an IWCOM Question time on IRC in the next couple of weeks... My goal is to get as much information from you as possible and turn it into a working objective for next year, If I am able, I will attempt to provide you with the events you ask for, and provide you with the best chance at online fun. Possible.

All I ask is you tell everyone you know, including pets and passers by in the street :D

So our goals looking forward.

Promote activity through better communication.
Listen to our members more
Have a 100% effective command Staff.
Remove all redundant positions and elements of the Group.
Increase are reputation and Standing in the emperors hammer, whilst raising our profile.
Become the third largest of the Sub groups.

Of course they're several sub categories to each element, but the basics remain the same. Hard workers will be rewarded and slackers will be left behind... but hopefully not to many will be left behind.... Fleet admiral Patel once said to me, Darkmage you only get out of the emperors hammer, what you yourself put into it.

I am placing my all into it , Who will join me ?

Next on the Agenda,

Thanks to some fine work by Rear admiral timmay, We now have an online Training academy, you can take the courses of the IWTA online now. Once completed they are automatically sent to the course professors and the training officer. IWATS Eat your heart out :D

*< INTRODUCTION >*
The work throughout the Division is coming along and activity can be seen in all detachments. I just wish that I could be more active than I have been the previous week, but the stuff in university has prevented me from doing so. I have started working on a new site for the use of the Corporate Division (more detail below) and I had hoped to be able to do more than I have. I will work on it as much as I can to hopefully  have fully working site by the end of next week. But that's just what I wish....

*< NEWS >*
/*Expanding the Division*/

I have several ideas for how to expand the Corporate Division. All has to be written down more properly and expanded a bit but it is looking bright. For example, we might have a deal with the Siths of the Dark Brotherhood for buying ships. And as I said in my last report, games of different kinds will me made and managed by the Auroran Gaming Commission which will be put to life again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
/*Corporate Division Trivia Nexus*/
/(As posted by VPO/CG Talon Astruar on CD.com)/

Similar to the KAG related activities in the BHG, I (with the support from the PREX and VPX) have developed a Trivia Center for the Corporate Division. Miscellaneous trivia will be added every couple of days and every trivia test will last for about 2 weeks or so. At the end of every month, I will collect the scores and award medals and PE points accordingly. I will be setting up a system for awards and PE points very soon, but you might as well get started on the two tests that are available already.

The Trivia Center can be found at http://cdtn.minos.net.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
/*Imperial Supply Store in the works*/

I have started creating the Imperial Supply Store, a store where you can buy all sorts of things (weapons, droids, communications gear and whatever we can come up with). I hope I will have it up and running pretty soon but it will not have very much to buy at first, we will add more later. It will be connected to the iBank so that when buying stuff, credits from you iBank account will be drawn and I was thinking of having either a link that will pop up a smaller window that lists your belongings or list them directly on the profile.

Because of this project, I am looking for pictures of stuff that can be up for sale. The pictures must meet the following requirements:

    * Max 150x150 pixels
    * Transparent background
    * PNG file format
    * As good quality as possible

Each submitted picture will generate 1000 credits on your account.

PREX Report #8:  12.05.03

*< ROSTER >*
    * Total: 70 (163 including Unemployed)
    * Direx Board: 9
    * Trade Assembly: 27
    * PLT Revenge: 34
    * Unemplyed: 93

*< INTRODUCTION >*
Christmas is drawing closer and many goes away during this period of time. This includes me and the Executive Vice President, Admiral DarkAngle, as I know for now. I will find a Direx Board member who will cover for me during this time. I will be gone from December 20th and until January 4th. But until then, I have work to do.

*< NEWS >*
/*Corporate Gambling Commission*/

VPX/AD DarkAngle has been working on the Corporate Gambling Commission which includes a lottery in which you can win huge amount of money if you bet lots of them (I think the most you could win was 5 million, but you had to bet 250.000 and the chance was 1 of 13 billion). More additions will come and what's left until the lottery can go live, is a nice layout.

I am really looking forward to this :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
/*Adjutants goes part-time*/

We have begun discussing the roles of the adjutants currently on duty. They have been among the most active ones and are currently more needed in the corporations. They will stay as adjutants but will also beat the service of the corporations they came from. This is a temporary solution to get more activity from all levels of the Division.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
/*Imperial Supply Store update*/

Some progress on the Imperial Supply Store has been made. I have been working on the shopping cart for the store, so far unable to have solved some problems. But I got an idea on how to work around it so we can get the set up and running and later on make modifications of improvement.

But I am still looking for pictures of merchandise the store could sell. If you don't have any pictures, come up with a list of items and descriptions for them and send it to me. And when this site is up and running, it could also be used for the Nova Shipyard to have that available to the general public (with an account at the iBank).

DP Report #151:  12.05.03

CURRENT ROSTER COUNT: 429

Sirs,

This week we had some discussions with the DB about ways in which our two subgroups can better associate.  We're not yet sure exactly how we're going to do this -- canonical and logistical concerns are still a roadblock right now -- but some competitions are almost a certainty.  Something like the format of this BHG/Intel competition, but better planned, is what we have in mind.

We'll continue to talk about it over the coming weeks with the hope of getting something going in the near future.  It's certainly long overdue.  Suggestions are welcome to myself and to the Commission; please don't hesitate, as good ideas can come from anywhere!

Conan has been doing a ton with new run-ons and awarding spangly new medals for the ones that are finished, so check that out!  Due to some new KA scripts, there should be some new games starting soon, with effort made to conflict minimally with the holidays. 

Tuss is planning a surprise Christmas present to the BHG, to be unveiled on December 16th.  What could it be?  He's not saying...but one thing he is telling us about is a new monthly BHG radio show that will run before the first meeting of every month, starting in January.  Can't wait!

Respectfully submitted

1. SOD Competition – Intel vs. BHG
The Intel vs BHG Competition is now over. Participation was very good from both sides. Unfortunately the poor organisation which plagued the competition from the start has reared it’s ugly head once more, now it’s come down to the marking. Both sides were expecting the competition to be graded as a BHG KAG is (i.e. all submissions are ranked from 1 to 30 and a corresponding number of points are awarded 1st place – 30pts, 2nd place – 29pts etc) so that a victorious Subgroup could be declared. However at present the SOD has merely declared several winners in each category. I’m current talking with the BHG in order to develop a
solution – a panel of SG staff may remark submissions (If not I’ll grade it all like an ID Competition).

Anyway the official winners were:
(Prae Pilots will receive [IS-*r]s and other Intel agents will receive [PoC-*l]s)

Fiction
1st - AD Mordann Tal'kyra (Intel), Ric Gravant (BHG)
2nd – VA Aseret Thunderhawk (Intel), Kal-Ket (BHG)
3rd – COL Andrzej Mezynski (Intel)

Graphics
1st - Slagar (BHG)
2nd - Kal-Ket (BHG)
3rd - Red Scar (BHG)
Honourable Mention: Agent Omikron (Intel), Agent Tau (Intel), Skorbacca
(BHG), Aeris (BHG)

Trivia
1st - AD Mordann Tal'kyra (Intel), Kal-Ket (BHG)
2nd – LC Shae Kitane (Intel)
3rd - Conan (BHG)

Erm… Go me! I told you I’d lead by example:p Congratulations to everyone who took part. I’m particularly pleased with the quality of Praetorian Squadrons submissions and the level of participation from BOO. Personally I disagree with the fiction judging (mine certainly wasn’t the best), but to be fair the standard was just so high and so close it must have been difficult to call. I’ll be awarding a [PoC-rl] or better (-pl ,-gl, - l, -bl),for each submission, plus a [CSM] for each fiction and graphical submission (as they’ll all be in the next edition of the Com-link). I’ve also submitted the fiction and the graphics to the EH:NL so they may also be a [LoA] up for grabs from the lovely XO. Three medals for a story that’s a couple of pages long – nice.

The Bureau of Operations proved themselves to be the best Bureau and will all receive the UAE.

For those who care, participation was as follows:

UBIQ – 80%
BOO – 78%
PRAE – 55%
INTORG – 44%
ANLY – 33%

Giving an overall participation of 54% - pretty darn good! Congratulations, I’m proud of you all. NB – There may be a fairly large delay with the medals while the additional marking takes place. Please be patient.

2. Intel Website SotW 14/11/03 – 21/11/03
Apparently the new Intel website was the Internet Office’s Site of the Week 14/11/03 – 21/11/03, but your all-knowing SDIR appears to have missed this. It received the full shiny 5 stars. Congratulations to IOA Drako for designing us such a pretty site.

3. AoT Web Designer Found
Vice Admiral Bond has offered his services to the ‘design me a shiny new AoT site’ project. Perhaps we’ll have another site of the week shortly.

4. RADR on Leave
Rear Admiral Scrier is technically still on leave, but seems strangely active… I assume that he will be returning to full duty shortly.

5. Promotions
LC Winters has been promoted to Colonel (COL)
MAJ Harlequin has been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel (LC)
There were six other promotions this week.

6. Medals
There should be lots going out this week, like… around 120!!! Keep your eyes peeled, but please be prepared for a fair delay before they reach you.

7. That ‘Bloo… ming’ Join Form:p
Unfortunately the join form still appears to be broken. Please continue to send your membership applications to mizhongboxer@hotmail.com

1. Join Form Fixed!!!!!!!! Yey!
The join form has been playing up for a couple of weeks now, but thanks to the staunch efforts of IOA Drako it finally works! We’ve had quite a few new recruits in already, which is encouraging.

2. Intel vs. BHG Medals
Unfortunately I’ve yet to send out medals for the Intel competition. My main RL deadline is tomorrow so hopefully I’ll dispatch them all (100+) on Saturday. If you don’t have them by Monday, feel free to whinge at
me.

3. Assignments
Things have settled down now. We have an online presence again, the Intel vs. BHG competition is over and things are generally good. Hence there’s a big pile of assignments waiting for you – email your BUDR if you’re bored and want something to do, or failing that email me.

4. Improvement
We are always looking for ways to improve the Intelligence Division. If you can thing of anything, no matter how small, just email me at sdir@ehintel.org – it doesn’t matter if you’re an eager TRN or a highly decorated FA, I want to hear from you!

5. EH Census
The EH census has been released at http://cosmic.nailed.org/census. Please have a look and fill it in should you get the urge. NB – There’s a section when it asks you which SGs you are a member of - if you’re not a UBIQer or BUDR it would probably be best if you ‘weren’t in the Intelligence Division’ when you’re ticking the boxes. Thanks.

6. Classified Stuff
Erm… is classified. Move along people.

Fringe RPG Reports:
As Emailed From:  Chief Gamemaster of the Fringe (GN Longshot)

The Fringe - EH Roleplaying Game (EH RPG)

CGM Report:  12.1.03

The past week has been a fairly exciting one for the Fringe. We've established a relationship with another PA, ISS, and we have begun the process of sharing our city with them. This will help us expand our city more rapidly, and will provide some additional assistance in fending off those pesky Rebels.

It seems our home planet, Talus, is turning in to a major PVP battleground. The EH is starting to take a serious part in the struggle.

http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Chilastra&message.id=92074

In unrelated news, vehicles are now live on the Test Center. Players can choose from a landspeeder, a swoop, or a ROTJ-style speeder bike. The EH is in the process of preparing to manufacture them when they go live on our server.

CGM Report:  12.06.03

Over the past week, the city has grown in population to a level 3 city. What that means, in short, is that if we can obtain 7 members over the next week, we should be able to place our very own shuttleport. We should have a bank, a cloning center, and a hospital very soon.

SOE should be patching vehicles in to the game soon. I've been talking with Nepo, our head artisan, and I think we've got a plan that should allow us to build a free vehicle for each and every PA member, as well as earn some cash for the PA.

While our alliance with ISS seems to be going OK in terms of raid support, we are hoping that we can generate a bit more camaraderie between the two PAs.

Our cantina owner, Jowarri, has set up a social to help stimulate that process. It is scheduled for Saturday, December 6, 8 PM ET.

Beyond an alliance with the ISS, talks have begun recently with the head of Malice Reborn about a Talus-wide coordination with other Imperial PAs. In theory, this will allow us to pull more Imperials to our defense when we need it, as well as allowing us to form a larger attack force for our raids.

SOD Report:  12.03.03

My
first SG vs SG competition did not go exactly as I'd planned. I definitely need to get some help in terms of grading events and organization for the next one. There was no clear winner, but I did get the banner I'm going to use as my link banner. As for 10th Anniversary things, there will be new polls and event details upon my return from LOA.

I will be on leave from today, until 12/16 in order to study for final exams, and finish final projects for school. I will still be playing SWG during study breaks, however, I will not be doing any SOD related work until my return.

Until then, please continue to post constructively on my 10th anniversary forum, I will be checking it periodically through out my LOA and answering questions if I possibly can.

As I said, there will be some new polls and and event details on my forum upon my return.

As Emailed From:  COL Nightmare ( n1ghtm4r3@hotmail.com )

<SALUTE>

-=Overall Synopsis=-
RA Astix had to go on emergency and left me in charge once more. Nothing much to report on this week, we're still working on the database with the CD now. Also we are waiting on the results from our current negotiations so if you have anything to report on that please e-mail the LA and myself.

Please remember to CC me when you talk to the LA so that I am kept in the loop and when stuff like this happens we can still keep on working at 100% efficiency. Astix is our boss but still we have to be able to live without him at time like this.

I'll be looking at the BSC ( www.battlestats.com ) page this week and checking up on a few clubs there, this is the main place for MP in the community so it might be nice to make a few more friends there.

-=Current Negotiations=-
MAJ Screed has been talking with the UIP.
MAJ Delak is talking with the Imperial Army. -
CM Xirok is talking with "They Might Be Jedi [TMBJ]", a JKII club.
CPT Goerase has found two new RPG clubs and is contacting them
COL Nightmare: looking for some clubs, keeping an EH presence in the Zone (XWA and XvT rooms)

-=Work Done/Negotiations Underway/Contacts Established=-
LA/RA Astix: is talking to a CD corporation about making the Comp Hosting database

ALL: If you get a chance this week, do a little search on google, look at what clubs that turn up, if you find some good looking ones send us the info.

<SALUTE>

Sorry this is going to be such a short report but RL's being a real bitch right now. I'm involved in a big case at work, and it's really sapping me. I'll be back on form next week, I should think- we're hoping to get a quick result from the case, and that means its gotta leave my desk ASAP.

Anyway, the AG:
1) Membership is steady, everyone's in contact
2) Wemmel is talking to a the makers of a possible new platform for the EH; either for a SG or "stealth SG" (by which I mean when EHers form in-game cabals within games
3) Delak's found he's not been talking to the leaders of the Imperial Army, just another diplomat; so he's been passed on to their FC.
4) Thanks to Nightmare, we had a report last week (apologies again)
5) Corporate Division are working on the AG's new website.
6) Erm, can't think of anything else.

Sorry about the lame report.

CA:SCO AD Darkhill Awarded Imperial Cross (IC) Medal:  11.11.03
As Recommended By:  Tactical Officer (FA Mike)

(Please see Operations Manual for medal descriptions)

Hello sirs.

I come to you, to recommend Admiral Den Darkhill, current Command Attaché to Science Office, to Imperial Cross award. Now let me tell you why. AD Darkhill was EH Science Office, for a very long time, performing his duties very well. Under his reign, Science Office released a lot of patches, making mission creation very easy, and more realistic.

Then he stepped down and took position of CA:SCO. But he didn't stop his work. We have started working together on Uber Project and later on Project Shield. As the result, Emperor's Hammer Battle Launcher has been released, and it's in global use now. I don't have to tell you what EHBL is, and how important it is to our security and mission flying.

Even after EHBL, Den Darkhill does not stop. He works on EH Patch Manager, which will greatly improve our patches and make installing the very easy. He also works on add-ons for our platforms. We have recently seen TIE, XvT and BoP add-ons released, so our missions will be better that every before.

In the light of this achievements, always above and beyond call of duty, I would like to recommend him to IC award. I am sure he fully deserves this recognition.

<SALUTE>

Well it is good to be home, I was serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom I was deployed in January of last year and I returned due to a shoulder injury.

The first Picture was taken at one of Saddam's palaces and the second was taken in downtown Baghdad.

Our missions consisted of doing Raids on arms dealers and Weapons caches and replacing government leaders and rebuilding Iraq. We where working in the south end of the country including the city where Jessica Lynch was captured, we were also ambushed in that same city and only received 1 wounded out of the 12 person team. my team was in Iraq for 7 months and next month we will have been deployed a year. Once again it's great to be home and to see trees and Grass and no more camels :)

Tactical Office Report #114:  11.15.03

Introduction:
Last week was very fast. I've been working on several projects, including final released of Tactical Staff IWATS Course and update of current beta testing forms. Well, actually we have only one, multi-platform form and it's old, needs to be updated. After my project we will have beta testing forms for each platform, adjusted to meet differences all of our platforms have. So far, I have finished forms for tie, xvt and bop, xw and xwa are under way.

My new course, has been sent to TO for approval and additional check. I should get back from him very soon, so I will quickly make a webpage for it, and you will be able to pass and learn from it. So far, only Tactical Staff members were able to read it, and I have positive feedback, so I guess this course is pretty good.

Another thing you should not forget about are Golden Tug Awards. So far we have approx 40 votes for each category and we have close combat between our very own SCO, Ender mBind and former TAC, HA Striker. XWA-CAB #1 has no match for the best battle. You can find the voting on Mission Creation MB, so go, visit and cast your vote there.

And I think the last thing, my CA. All details are below. :) So enjoy.

CA:TAC selected
I have selected one of my TCC, to be my next CA:TAC. I have sent my proposal to GA Ronin, SA Astatine and FA Priyum, and I am awaiting their response. If they approve, I will officially
