Alex Foley Appointed as the NEW EH Operations Officer: 09.09.03
As Submitted From: Fleet Commander (GA Ronin)

Operations Office
(URL to be updated soon...!)

After a rather lengthy time for consideration, I have selected IOA/MAJ Alex Foley/SSSD Sovereign as the new EH Operations Officer. Congratulations and best of luck on a difficult job in getting the EH Operations Manual and OPS site back up and running !!!

Per EH Command Staff policy, Alex Foley is herein promoted to the provision EH Rank of Rear Admiral pending completion of the mandatory 6-month probationary period (and assuming he does the great job we expect him too !). If he should leave the position prior to this period, he would revert back to his rank of MAJ.

The other qualified candidates considered included :

I would like to add that ALL of these candidates had great things going for them....this was NOT an easy decision for me to make. I took into serious account each of the pros & cons for each applicant. Some excelled at either prior command/level of responsibility, graphics/website capability or past achievements in the EH. In the end however, Alex Foley slightly edged out the other Applicants and stood out from the pack for the Position of OPS.

I wish Alex Foley well and hope he can 'hit the ground running' and immediately put to rest all the EHers that have been pleading with me (or yelling at me) to select a new OPS. :)

Emperor's Hammer Star Wars Galaxies Report #3
9/5/03

(For distribution to the Fleet.)

I'd like to start out this report by congratulating two of our members for reaching the Master level in elite professions. Nepo Igiemo has finally reached Master Architect, a feat few in the game have managed. And Krenn'sa Alvaak (better known to most of the Fleet as GA Ronin) has reached Master Musician. It takes a lot of time and effort to master an elite profession, so kudos to both!

We are still waiting for Player Cities to be introduced. Hopefully the recent posting of pictures of the City Management interface on the official SWG site means that this is very close to finally being a reality. With Nepo at Master Architect, we have someone who can become a City Planner (required if you want a City) and build us the buildings we need. First up will be a Town Hall, since you can't have a City without one. Next up will be the Shuttleport, which will make the trek to the PA Hall a lot easier on our non-combat oriented members.

Here's some good news: although it drove Darknyte crazy while it was happening, the recent deletion of all PAs and subsequent troubles has led to one good thing. We have our proper brand now! The Empire's Hammer now proudly bears the initials EH in the game.

The major patch released yesterday seems to have balanced out some of the complaints that Bounty Hunters had about essentially being nerfed after the last big patch. This makes me very happy.

Longshot has planned a get-together at the PA Hall tonight. It'll be a great opportunity to get everyone re-branded, maybe hunt a little and take a group picture.

And for those of you in-game who have been wondering why I haven't been on nearly as much lately, wn update. After 7 months of unemployment, I finally have a job again. That's why I'm not playing the game 12 hours a day, 6 days a week any more.

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 Warynt.

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.

Tactical Office Report #103: 08.29.03

Introduction

Hello guys and gals.

Your TAC is back and he recovered his strength and vitality. One week near Baltic see with my fiance made me really happy and well rested. So, new ideas in my head, new projects and more power to catch cheaters. So, read my report and enjoy.

Releasing new battles on hold

Project Shield is almost done thanks to hard work of our SCO. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to help, so we can count on SCO only. But it should be released this week, maybe next.

Mailer errors

XO is the only one who can fix database problems, so please do not report mailer errors to me. I can do nothing about them, since I don't have access to eh.net. However, you can report TacDB issues to me, so I can fix them ASAP.

FCHG Competition #4 - Eagles of Freedom

Yes. Competition has been approved by Training Officer and it starts September 1st. Plotline: rDB plans assassination of Grand Admiral Ronin. EH must use all necessary force, to prevent this. Have fun. Competition ends after 1 month.

Golden Tug Awards

I need to consult IO staff about one thing, and wait for TO to approve this competition and we will be ready to go. I have prepared list of battles to use. Wait for more info.

My nomination for Pilot of the Week is Zystem Fryar. ZF's been going through a ton of serious r/l problems right now, but yet he was still able to test the X-Wing free I assigned to him in a quick, well-informed, and timely manner. If that's not dedication, I don't know what is :)
Excellent work Fryar.

Flight Office Report: 08.31.03

Greetings all and welcome to this week's report from the Flight Office,

- News:

Commodore Positions

Earlier last week, Vice Admirals Jahan Kalar and RogueWing both decided to retire from their COM positions (ISD Relentless and ISD Immortal respectively). Both were great Officers who made significant contributions to their commands and the TIE Corps. They'll be missed.

Applications are being accepted for replacements, with the following requirements:

- Good online presence - e-mail, MBs, and some IRC (particularly meetings if possible)
- No HCI convictions within the past 12 months
- A successful command history in the TIE Corps (to include a tour of at least two months as a Wing Commander or six consecutive months as a Squadron Commander with two different Squadrons)
- Ability to work with the entire Chain of Command
- Excellent working knowledge of all EH & TC protocols and policies (including the Fleet Standing Orders)
- Specific long and short term goals for your ship, Battlegroup and constructive contribution towards the TIE Corps as a whole Technical skills (HTML, mission design etc) are beneficial but not mandatory

You may include up to two references, at least one from a current or former superior (obtain permission from these individuals first. No, you can't ask me or Krax). As a Commodore, it will be your task to look out for your ship's long term welfare including it's growth and activity. You will be required to work with the Wing Commander on an almost daily business handling ship affairs. A good COM can mean the difference between the ship's success or failure and is not a job to be entered into lightly.

Applications should be sent to High Admiral Priyum and Admiral Krax Tarnisar before Tuesday 2nd September and should have the subject "Rel/Imm COM Application".

Sovereign Squadron League Results

Congratulations to the victors of this long running competition and thanks to all those who made it possible. The final complete results are located at http://sov.minos.net/

Operations Officer

As I understand it, applications are still being accepted for a new OPS - details are at http://theholo.net/mb/viewtopic.php?t=8250

While we search for a new OPS, medals are not being awarded. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't continue with activities or even recommending them. ALL pending medals will be reviewed as soon as a new OPS is selected, you'll just have to be a little patient about it.

HA Ari is on leave until Wednesday, 3 September (night). Until then, I will be taking his place. Please direct any IO matters to myself (eh_turtle@rawx.net) and HA Ari.

As usual, work on EHW continues this week. More information about the progress of this project will be made public shortly.

I'm beginning to lay the groundwork for an enhanced MinosNIC web hosting service, which will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $5/month and include some upgraded service options. Hosting income will be used to help defray the costs of running the service. More specific details should be available next week.

Internet Office Report #107

September 5, 2003

:: [ Internet Office News ] ::

Well, it's nice to be back, and I've had quite a nice time on vacation, getting adjusted to college and all. I'm quite having a lot of fun...feel free to ask if you see me on IRC, if you're interested.

Not much happening, just catching up on everything. Turtle's helped take care of a bunch of Minos trouble tickets. He's also been working on improving some of the login code that Minos runs which will streamline the system.

I'll also be getting back into the swing of coding EHW since my short leave distanced me from it a bit. I'll probably be finishing the EHWPlayer class and possibly starting EHWShip soon.

Alex Foley has changed his email address again, to something more permanent: afoley@rawx.net.

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

This week's SOTW is The Citadel at http://citadel.thebhg.org/ which has been completely recoded (even though it retains the same old look) by Underlord Koral (adam_ashley@softhome.net), earning 5 stars!

:: [ Internet Office Poll ] ::

What has happened to all the EH SWG addicts?

-They haven't slept in days
-The sarlacc ate them
-They found a hot Twi'lek chick (or Zabrak guy)
-They're busy crafting the next Death Star
-They just had no life to begin with
-They got nerfed

Training Office Report #20: 08.29.03

<SALUTE>

I am pleased to say this shall be a small report. Work is progressing on several interesting plans that shall be mentioned in next weeks report. Until then, general reminders &c.

The Apostasy competition is remains underway, details at: http://www.emperorshammer.ca/comps_apostasy.html. The Competition will run until 12th September at 11:59pm BST (6:59pm EST).

The EH Racing League (details available at: www.ehracingleague.minos.net) becomes operational on 1st September 2003 in #EHCOC. It is the brainchild of Lieutenant Commander Rem Somnos (remsomnos@juno.com) of the ISD Grey Wolf and is open to all members of the Emperor’s Hammer.

The position of Active Server Page (ASP) Professor has now been filled. Congratulations to Colonel Wes Janson of the ISD Grey Wolf who joins the IWATS staff. His appointment brings the Professorial roll back to full-strength.

TIE Corps

The competition I extended in my previous Report has seen an increase in the number of competition submissions of late, but also a general increase in those that have been denied. I am forced once again to remind members of the TIE Corps that merit medals (ISM, BS etc.) cannot be awarded for competitions. Also, Gold Iron Stars may only be awarded for competitions involving at-least a Battlegroup (or equivalent).

Dark Brotherhood

The database processing of new Apprentices has progressed somewhat recently, thanks to the work of the Seneschal. Phase II confirmation messages are now generated for those recruits that meet the requirements, but there are still some areas lacking that will hopefully be tackled over the next weeks (notably the fundamental ability of new members to select the Clan they wish to enter). For the time-being, the system is still very much reliant on the manual processing of my staff and the Master-At-Arms. It should be noted that all outstanding submissions from new recruits have been dealt with and forwarded to the Master-At-Arms for individual processing; there is no backlog in the Shadow Academy.

Dark Jedi Knight Dura is continuing his work on the Duelling Institute of Eos (delightfully known as ‘DIE’). He has already called for descriptions of the combat environments found within the Institute. This is an excellent opportunity to influence a pivotal new project for the Brotherhood (while also earning a shiny award) and I urge all members to submit descriptions to DJK Dura at robd@fuzzystatic.com. Full details may be found at: http://www.emperorshammer.ca/die/.

Applicants: There is a manual system in place for the processing of new members. Until otherwise notified, all applicants may submit both their Phase I and Phase II Apprentice Studies at their leisure, there is no need to await any confirmation other than the general ‘Welcome to the Dark Brotherhood’ e-mail (this e-mail explains the Apprentice Studies and provides the appropriate links). Questions should be addressed to me at hm@darkbrotherhood.org.

Imperial Senate

Vice Minister Verr has been keeping me appraised of the status of the coding of the Imperial University website and I am pleased to comment that it appears to be progressing at a steady pace. The University Board is 100% complete, and individual Profiles are at 75% completion. The news script has yet to be tackled, but this is a relatively simple task that may be completed once the rest of the University is functioning.

Communications Office Report #19: 08.30.03

Communications Office News:
I have added dasb0t to the #corporate_division channel on IRC at the request of AD Trow. This brings all of the ever so popular features of dasb0t to the CD channel.

The COMM competition "Make A New mIRC Function" is still ongoing, all entries are due to me by 2003/09/05 at midnight. It is open to all members of the EH, so no matter what subgroup you are in, even if you know nothing about mIRC scripting, try to learn a little bit and submit something. You never know, you might just get a shiney iron star. The competition page is here: http://emperorshammer.net/competitions/details.asp?ID=830.

I'm still waiting for news on the updated CoC draft I sent several weeks ago. As a reminder, IRC ops are expected to either deop themselves when AFK or not actively monitoring an EH channel, or change their nick to reflect their status.

Work on The Fringe website is still ongoing, I have a few little odds and ends to finish up. I haven't forgotten about it, but RL work has been calling me in every day for the past little while.

1. SOA/AD Vman has decided to retire from active duty. We wish him the fondest of farewells, and a lot of sympathy since he'll be taking care of his kid full time. Applications are not being accepted at this time.

2. Fairly quiet week on IRC. There was an incident involving a pilot using an autogreet script to redirect members to inappropriate sites, but the appropriate bans have been set, and the case is being assembled.

3. Keep in mind, virus activity is still fairly high. Insure your virus definitions are up to date, and be careful of opening attachments from unknown users. Below are a list of subjects frequently used by the Sobig.F virus, which has given me the most attempts lately.

<salute>

Welcome to my twenty-fourth public report as a Science Officer, pretty late... (Don't let vials with infectious diseases lying about open in your lab :P) ...let's get to the news:

Science Office News:

1. Project Shield is finished! (Yay! *does a happy dance*) This most boring TAC Project I took over is still classified, but we're making final preparations so it can in principle be released this weekend, or week. Final
preparations included bug fixing and testing by AD Darkhill and myself but after we're completely done with that the next step really is up to the TAC and XO so hopefully it will basically be off our hands then.

2. The Directorate part of the Order of Battle has been updated to show the names of the up to now unnamed ships of the Directorate. I also changed the layout of the Directorate slightly and corrected some bugs.

3. The Infiltrator Wing part of the Order of Battle has been updated following the changes made to the IW roster. All active Squadrons are now in Wing I on the MC90 Renegade and all the links to the rosters have been updated as well. Still to come is a change to the setup of Vulture and Scorpion Squadron and to the craft types of Panther Squadron, which will be getting K-Wings.

4. The Fleet Manual has been updated to make it more fitting to the rest of the site. This is just a temporary update until such time we get an actual database version of it.

Science Office Status:

CA: Admiral Darkhill has been debugging and updating parts of the Uber Project now that we've finished Shield.

SCOA: CM Tim continued work on his Imperial Hangar for XWA and updated the OoB structure on the IW site.

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. Updates have been made to the Fleet Manual and the Order of Battle.

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. On hold for the
Grand Project, though I might just release a few craft for TIE and XvT this week while we wait.

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) has been completed (Yay!). It should be released about this week or even weekend.

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!

-=Salute=-

I still have no responses from the letters, though my hopes are still high.

I am officially starting the Recon Office Banner Comp today. It will run for one week, ending next Saturday ( 9-6-03) at 11:59 CST (12:59 EST). The RO Banner is old and I think it's long overdue for a overhaul. Only specs really is it needs to be tasteful with the ideals of the Recon Office. All submissions must be sent to myself at Noon001@aol.com, and my CA:RO/RA Shay'la at Shayla_DL@hotmail.com.

1st Place: Imperial Security Medal
2nd Place: IS-GW
3rd Place: IS-BW

Good luck to all applicants!

Other than that, it's a quiet week in the Office. IRL Work has gotten the better of me this week, the only reason for the lateness of this report.

Now, On to the SW News!

New Galaxies Adventure

The Galaxies Adventures Page ( http://www.theforce.net/games/galaxies/adventures.shtml ) has been updated with a new adventure, the tale of the Ewoks. Things start off fine, but a bug sends me down the tube....

Check it out to get the whole story plus screens!

Galaxies Friday Feature: Player Cities

Sat, Aug 30, 03 11:47:13 AM EDTThe Developers have told us that Player Cities were planned for the game but were cut from the initial release because of time constraints. Whether you like or loathe the idea, they have been working on them (or at least saying they've been working on them) and have released new screens this week to show them off. Here is the First Article ( http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/content.jsp?page=Player%20Cities ) on Player Cities, with an excerpt:

Security. The mayor can assign members of the citizenry to the city militia. These players gain the ability to freely enforce the law within the city's borders. Militia members can ask troublemakers or enemies to leave with the new /warn command. If the warned player doesn't leave the city quickly, they will become open to attack from members of the militia. Militia members can also deny undesirables access to city services through the /ban command.

And next we have the New Screens ( http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/player_buildings.jsp ) of player buildings such as a hospital, theatre, and garage. I hope they get in-game vehicles in soon!

Star Wars Galaxies Novel??

Reader Andrew Timson just sent an interesting find: an entry at Randomhouse.com for a paperback called Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine, ( http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?0345470664 ), by Voronica Whitney-Robinson. A web search led me to her personal web page, ( http://hometown.aol.com/voronica/myhomepage/business.html ) which also has a listing of the book. Could this be a prose account of the ongoing Galaxies plotline? If this sounds familiar to any of you Galaxies players out there?

The New Jedi Order: The Final Prophecy
by Greg Keyes

Zonama Sekot holds the key to ending the bloody war between the Galactic Alliance and the Yuuzhan Vong invaders. As Luke Skywalker negotiates an alliance with the living planet, Yuuzhan Vong operatives steal one of the world's organic starships for delivery to scientist Nen Yim. Yim's research not only uncovers the mysteries of the planet, but also long-forgotten secrets of the Yuuzhan Vong. Elsewhere, General Wedge Antilles leads a three-pronged campaign to take the Bilbringi system, but becomes stranded in Yuuzhan Vong space. He must rely on his wits to survive long enough to continue one of the deadliest and most crucial missions of the Alliance.

Galaxies 2nd Largest Online Game

LucasArts sent this press release to media outlets including TFN today. Quite a benchmark for success for Galaxies!

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided Surpasses 275,000 Registered Players SAN RAFAEL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 27, 2003-- Following Single Most Successful Introduction of MMO, Galaxies: An Empire Divided Now Ranks as Second Largest MMO in U.S. On the heels of the most successful introduction of a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game to date, LucasArts announced today that Star Wars Galaxies(TM): An Empire Divided(TM) has surpassed 275,000 registered users. Released on June 26, 2003, An Empire Divided has quickly become the second largest MMO in the U.S., in terms of registered users, and is the fastest growing MMO role-playing game (RPG) to date. "Almost immediately we were seeing thousands of players interacting simultaneously, building communities and creating in-game events like player weddings, store openings and many other inventive activities," said Simon Jeffery, president of LucasArts. "We'll soon be introducing new features and content that will enhance the experience for existing players as well as casual gamers or Star Wars fans who might be new to the MMO genre. The best is yet to come!" "After three years of intense development and high anticipation, we felt that we had an amazing game on our hands, but you're never sure of your success until you get the ultimate validation from the players," said John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment. "Sony Online and LucasArts have been very successful in communicating with the game's very active fan base and incorporating their feedback, as necessary, to continue improving the experience." The Star Wars Galaxies development team continues to work on a variety of new content and features such as player-owned ground vehicles, player mounts and player cities, along with substantial new content to be introduced in the coming months. In Star Wars Galaxies, for the first time thousands of players can live the Star Wars saga and become immersed in the classic Star Wars universe simultaneously. Players can interact with characters from classic Star Wars including Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo and many other favorites on 10 different planets/environments in the largest Star Wars game in history.

RO Report #24: 09.05.03

<Salute>

Greetings from the RO Office!

No news on the local front this week. I am about to start working on my 2nd batch of letters and interviews.

I would, however, like to thank the powers that by for CoL award. This is my second CoL in my six years with the EH. I am just as proud now as I was then. Thank you! :)

The RO Banner Comp will continue until a suitable replacement is found. A few entries so far, but keep them coming!!

Not much happening SW News wise. There are a few cool things happening this week. Take a look!

===============================================
EP3: Costumes of Episode III

The Official Site Homing Beacon talks about Episode III costumes. Here's a clip of the action to encourage you to subscribe yourself:

Anakin Skywalker clearly has the most profound transition from the prequel to the original trilogy, but the evolution of his Jedi robes from Attack of the Clones to his garb in the new installment is more understated than his future look of dark armor. "We changed his cloak shape, and gave him a new slightly more Jedi-like cloak this time," says Biggar. "We changed his colors, and we darkened them all down, hinting at what he's going to become. Although he was quite dark brown before, there were some lighter aspects. This time, we've really taken shades of dark brown to give him a dark outline even though he's still a Jedi." Though Senators Padmé Amidala and Bail Organa are absent from the original films, they continue to evolve Episode III, building upon their looks from the previous chapter. "In Episode I, Padmé was very formal and very ceremonial, and that became slightly relaxed for Episode II. In Episode III, we see her in a couple of business-like -- but not heavily ceremonial -- costumes, so generally her look is softer, and we get a chance to see her in a more relaxed state. I think even more relaxed now than she was in Episode II -- softer, more feminine," explains Biggar.

"Though we saw Bail Organa in Episode II as a Senator, George wanted him to look slightly more high tech in a way," she says. "We ended up using more metal pieces in his costumes. He has a high-tech metal comlink, and his ceremonial Senate costume has a beautiful metal collar piece."

New Browser Game!

Tom Josephson, author of X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, and it's Sequel X-Wing vs TIE Fighter 2, has astounded us all with a top down adventure game, Jedi Wars. This is based on the Battle of Genosis and proves to be great fun! You can play the game here ( http://www.theforce.net/games/apps/jediwars/jediwars.shtml ), and also get links to the help file and forum discussion thread there. Go check it out!

Ylesia: Erratum and Recompense

For all of you who bought the mass-market paperback edition of Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Destiny's Way, expecting to find the e-story Star Wars: The New Jedi Order; Ylesia included therein... welll it sucks to be you. :P Here is the full download of the E-Book! http://www.starwars.com/eu/news/2003/08/news20030826.html ((Click on the link at the bottom of the news peice.))

Announcing Jango Blaster Replicas

Jango Fett's elegant yet lethal pair of WESTAR-34 blasters has been faithfully reproduced by the artisans at Master Replicas, displayed in a classic pistola style that evokes the romance of the gunslinger mythos. Custom-designed for deadly precision and agility, Jango favored the WESTAR-34's for their ability to sustain rapid firing without overheating, a favorable edge to carry into a desperate situation.

Included in this set is an exclusive closed trigger stunt version, which Jango spun on his finger with classic western flourish in Attack of the Clones. Fashioned from machined aluminum, weighted resin, and die-cast metal parts, each blaster sports a hand polished barrel and measures about 13.57" length x 5.5" height x 1.5" width. The custom crafted display case includes a numbered metal plaque, plaque holder, and certificate of authenticity. With an edition size of only 1500 worldwide, fans of the galaxy's most gifted gunfighter may have to be quick on the draw to bring in this deadly duo.

For more details, including release date and ordering information, see the official Master Replicas website ( http://www2.masterreplicas.com/(5tw10f45tapesl2ayjnyh0ym)/starwars/SWCatalog.aspx) .

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

That about wraps it up for this week. You'll get more news as soon as I hear it. :

No much happened this week on the legion.

-Operation Hurricane closed and was considered a huge success! And my brain got a nice idea going on, that is to transform all Run-ons in actual fiction works.

-Operation Burnination started slow, but it's steady and some increase in activity is expected.

-Following the example of the recent operations, LG Sithspawn asked me to prepare an operation, which I replied: " op? Sure!". Very good Gsers!

-Between frustration and boredom I gave up my Droid Engineer character on Tempest server of SWG, and started a new one in Chilastra, which is already a apprentice gunfighter. If you understand Portuguese, you'll be able to check my SWG review on a-arca.net by Tuesday. Having some thoughts on custom missions for us, but since I've found no Hfers there, I'll just leave it up the Fringe guys for the moment.

-Medals and promos awarded, congrats everyone! Check the list bellow.

-LG Zsinj just arrived at college and now we're ready to work on the detachments! Hurray for change!

I think those are the most relevant points. Thank you for your time, CCs relay this to lines!

I'm not sure why the PRF didn't send a report yesterday *shrugs* I guess something important came up. Oh well, sorry about the lateness, here goes.

Roster Count...

Member Count (Active Members): 83
Member Count (With Training Platoon): 111
Member Count (With Homeguard - Full): 185

Not a whole lot going on really. School seems to be starting so I've noticed a bit of a drop off in activity, especially in the IRC channels. I am also taking a pair of classes, but those are in the middle of the week at night, so it shouldn't mess with the running of the legion to awful much.

The platoon league is up and running again after a long break. This month will be run be CC Malik, who has proven in the past to be very reliable and very fast in grading and updating scores. All PL information can found at http://novacompany.minos.net and all submissions should be sent to platoonleague@hotmail.com.

LG Z is at college now and is in the process of settling in. Once he has a decent net connection we will be able to start to reorganization. FEAR!

Finally, Operation Burnination is on the slowdown, I will give it another week. Then it will be brought to an end. Good job guys, I am proud of all the graphic submissions received and the run-on posts are wonderfully, wonderfully demented.

That's all I got, until next time.

For the majority of this week, I was unable to get to any of my files on my computer let alone connect to the internet due to various computer problems. With important changes made to my computer now, everything *should* be alright, there hasn't been any problems so far. Also due to the fact I've got my computer back, i've continued to learn PHP, if you're willing to give me pointers, etc, then please email me or find me on IRC (`Trow/`Trow-afk) or AIM (EHTrow).

If you'd like to contribute graphics or ideas towards the site then please contact myself (EHTrow@aol.com), VA Leeson (vpp@corporatedivision.com) and SNR Gravant (capncommonsense@capncommonsense.com).

Reminder: Detachment Commander of the soon to be reopened Corporate Division Newsgroup, within the Imperial Broadcasting Corporation, is still open to applications. The Corporate Division Newsgroup will be the primary Division articles writing detachment and will create work for the Corporate Division Magasine, The Chronicle, and the Emperor's Hammer Newsletter, The Dark Sentinel. Applications are to be sent to MWO Aidan 'AbsoluteK' Cantor Karias (io@absolutek.ca).

Corporate Propoganda competition is still running, with information located:

http://www.corporatedivision.com/competitions.php?op=check&id=11. I highly recommend people take part in this competition as the rewards are high, meaning it will be to your benefit when resources like Nova and AGC open.

The Training Office's compeition, Apotasy, is still running. Details can be found at: http://vpo.corporatedivision.com/apostasy.php. Again, participation is highly recommended!

Sorry for the delay, busy weekend. A good week for the Corporate Division! Activity is showing signs of improvement, with Auroran Technology Enterprises getting ready to start on their first contract as a corporation. If you're a member of ATE and would like to take part in this contract, which has credit/PE rewards remember, then email Wedge (evan.heil@verizon.net).

On the topic of Auroran Technology Enterprises, Wedge Antilles has been its Chief Executive Officer for a fair while now, on a trial basis. He's settled in now and has established himself as a capable Chief Executive. Taking this into account, i've decided to hand him the full-time job of ATE CEO and promote him to Master Warrant Officer (Supervisor when the database supports that rank). Congratulations Wedge and keep up the good work!

The PLT Revenge will be finally getting its much needed revamp within the next few weeks. This will hopefully include a new website design, new courses, new PROF's and many more options for you guys. If you'd like to help with this work, then please email me at EHTrow@aol.com... or even email me if you have any ideas for a new course!

A better reward system for the Imperial Broadcasting Corporation has been worked out, for every five hours of DJ'ing the member will receive one President's Escort point. Every day that they DJ more than an hour, they'll receive a Medal of Achievement. When the Corporate Division Newsgroup reopens, every article will warrant a Medal of Achievement and every five articles will be rewarded with one President's Escort point.

Welcome Junior Technician rndmcnlly to the Corporate Division! He's been assigned to the Imperial Broadcasting Corporation. Welcome aboard, mate.

1. Praetorian Squadron Finish 2nd in the Sovereign League

Praetorian Squadron narrowly lost to Omega Squadron in the finals of the Sovereign League. Even though they did not win they showed the other TIE squadrons that they do indeed outclass in almost every respect and are indeed worthy of being recognized as an elite squadron of the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet. Participation throughout the rounds was excellent and consequently the Ubiqtorate wishes to honour the pilots of Praetorian Squadron as follows:

Grand Medallion of Foresight - [GMoF]
Colonel Andrezj Mezynski
Lieutenant Colonel Shae Kitane
Lieutenant Colonel Turr Phennir

Force of the Emperor’s Will - [FoEW]
Colonel Benjamin Jahou Morgan
Lieutenant Colonel Zorn Starn
Major Dolsar Saris
Lieutenant Commander Thomas Nitecki

2. Promotions

It is my firm belief that hard work within the EH should be recognized and as I am now content that our two Bureau Directors have proven themselves to be both competent and valuable additions to Intel’s command staff I am consequently promoting them both to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel Winters and Lieutenant Colonel Rebelkiller.

3. Recruitment and Admissions Director (RADR)

I’m on the look out for a Recruitment and Admissions Director (RADR). The RADR is a new Ubiqtorate officer. He will be responsible for running basic training for new agents (i.e. greeting new recruits, maintaining a website full of useful information, marking the general test , answering questions and queries and maintaining a training roster ) as well as searching the rosters of the EH for those worthy of being invited to join Intel. The ideal candidate will be an experienced Intel officer (BUDR/UBIQ) who has proven ‘people skills’, possibly a retired officer looking to return to active duty. Experience of EH training would be a bonus but is not necessary.

4. Problems with www.ehintel.org

The Intel site (and manual and AoT) are all currently down because of ‘exceeded bandwidth’. Stalker is currently trying to sort out the problem for us because he’s nice like that. As far as I am aware the email forwarders are still working, but if you experience any problems you can use:

SDIR - sdir@emperorshammer.org or bored_of_darkness@yahoo.co.uk
ExDIR - jediaseret@yahoo.com
BLDR - davi_anth@yahoo.co.uk
TTDR - L050@yahoo.com

5. New Website in the Works

One of the talented blokes from the Internet office has begun work on a shiny new Intel website for us, which is kind of him. This is rapidly nearing completion so hopefully it’ll be ready in a week or two.

6. Academy of Tactics

For a short while the Academy of Tactics will be closed down. It will be revamped with fewer, more practical and useful tests over the course of the next month or so. Anyone wishing to help rewrite the courses should get in contact with sdir@emperorshammer.org

If you have any outstanding tests which have been submitted to the TTDR but have not been marked then send them ONCE and once ONLY to markmyaottest@yahoo.co.uk. Those that I have already received have been marked and all the results were sent out earlier today.

7. #dgn_lichtor_v Channel Manager

Level 400+ ops should have received an email from me regarding the selection of a new channel manager, if not get in touch - sdir@emperorshammer.org - as I’m still waiting to hear from some of you.

They think it’s all over… it is now.

1. A Quick Thank You from the SDIR

I thought I’d start this report by letting you know how proud I am of you all. The EH as a whole is very quiet at present, yet I am constantly amazed at the level of activity displayed by the membership of this subgroup. If it wasn’t for the fact that technology seems to have developed a grudge against me lately I’d be a very happy little SDIR. Hopefully your commanding officers have been rewarding you appropriately. You’re all helping make the EH a better place - keep up the good work!

2. Recruitment and Admissions Director (RADR)

I am pleased to announce that the new Recruitment and Admissions Director is…

General Scrier!!! (Cue sounds of spontaneous applause). Scrier has previously served on the Ubiqtorate as Census Director and is also a former Director of the Analysis Bureau. I’m sure if you regularly use IRC you will all grow to ‘love’ his unique brand of humour… As RADR, Scrier will be responsible for running basic training for new agents (i.e. greeting new recruits, maintaining a website full of useful information, marking the general test , answering questions and queries and maintaining a training roster ) as well as searching the rosters of the EH for those worthy of being invited to join Intel.

3. Design a Logo Competition - Open to all members of the EH

The Intelligence Division is in need of a logo for use, well… everywhere! The selected logo will be splattered all over Intel websites is a variety of sizes and may even make an appearance on some tasteful EH gear (you know you ’ve always wanted an Intel teddy!). I’m looking for something fairly simple, yet bold and striking which will look good against a black background. Ideally it should be sized between 300x300 to 400x400 pixels and be in .jpg or .gif format.

The logo can feature pretty much anything you want so long as it has some reference to ‘Intel’ and doesn’t feature images unsuitable for the eyes of young children or GN Scrier. Speaking of eyes, eyes are a good theme, since we are ‘the eyes and ears of the fleet’. One idea I had was to produce something based around the Eye of Horus (an Egyptian symbol - do an image search with google and you’ll see what I mean). You could also look at the opening credits of James Bond movies for inspiration - chicks and guns :).

If you need any guidance, email me. Entries should be sent to me (sdir@emperorshammer.org) by the end of
September. The winning entry will probably receive a Force of the Emperor’s Will [FoEW] depending on the quality of the work and the author’s subgroup. There may also be medals on offer for other commendable entries.

4. Commendations of Loyalty [CoL]

Commendations of Loyalty have been awarded to members of the Intelligence Division as follows:

Admiral Troutrooper
Rear Admiral Aseret Thunderhawk
General Davi Anthol
Colonel Andzrej ‘Iceman’ Mezynski
Lieutenant Colonel Turr Phennir
Lieutenant Colonel Shae Kitane
Lieutenant Colonel Winters
Lieutenant Rebelkiller
***Classified***
***Classified***

Further details are available on the EH news page. When a get a spare minute I’ll confirm the [CoL]s by email.

5. Tactics/Training Director

We have lost contact with Vice Admiral Raith over the past few weeks. Sadly this means I am forced to remove him from his position. Consequently we no longer have a TTDR. I will not be accepting applications at present. Any applications received before they are requested will be ignored. When they are requested your applications would look better if you could show some involvement with the AoT revamp (see item 6).

6. Academy of Tactics Revamp

If you have any outstanding tests which have been submitted to the TTDR but have not been marked then send them ONCE and once ONLY to markmyaottest@yahoo.co.uk before the end of the week and I’ll mark them for you (otherwise you’ll just have to wait for the new AoT to come online).

8. Problems with www.ehintel.org

The Intel main, manual and the AoT sites are still all down because of ‘exceeded bandwidth’. Stalker is currently trying to sort out the problem for us because he’s nice like that, but there’s been no result so far. Our new site will be up at a temporary location in the near future. As far as I am aware the email forwarders are still working, but if you experience any problems you can use:

SDIR - sdir@emperorshammer.org or bored_of_darkness@yahoo.co.uk
ExDIR - jediaseret@yahoo.com
BLDR - davi_anth@yahoo.co.uk
RADR - mizhongboxer@hotmail.com
(NB. - radr@ehintel.org doesn’t exist yet:P)

And everyone lived happily ever after.

The End.

FMC Report: 09.02.03

<Salute>
Hello sirs, sorry for the lateness of this report was out till Monday, and then SWG got me caught up, we know how that goes. Anyways onto the New from last week.

News

FMC rosters have been updated, 6 new members added!!

XO is now open for applications, please send me an e-mail stating why you deserve the position, what you can do for it, and your name and rank of course, past command experience is always a plus. Job entails keeping activity levels up, runnign FMC when i'm gone, and gathering Reports to hand in to me. Applications should be sent to MO@emperorshammer.org

Info on my new Flash point advertisement is well, it seems i downloaded the program, and it sucked, so i went out and bought it, and went back and got the book dummies for flash, hehe No one online could teach me and i have been looking for a while.

We plan to re-register the EH_Medlab site soon, just need a certain amount of members willing to provide CService names if you have one and can provide it send it my way please!

Join Form DOES work, just is slow so if it takes some time to get your reply back do not worry we got it, just takes some time.

Well this is all for this week, thank your sirs, again sorry for the lateness!

FMC Report: 09.06.03

Hello sirs, another beautiful day in FMC land, hehe. Well I have great news this week for ALL!!! Anyways read ahead to find out more.

News

Wow this week was quite amazing, seems we ran across a rogue FMC group not knowing i was MO. We are currently in the middle of a merge, and are transferring to Minos, and a PHP structure. We have gained about another 6 members, and brings us a little over 20 once roster is fully updated.

Remember my XO spot is still open, I have received some applications, get yours in ASAP if you want the position. I shall review all fairly.

For us to register the room I need CService nicks, please send me your CService nicks so we can register the FMC IRC room. Thank You

The Flash program has gone a little slower this week have had less time due to work, and DB, and this whole merge deal.

Well sirs seems this is all for this week. Website is still up at same location will notify if any changes occur.

Well... the SOD's Graphics competition is on! Details of the competition are on the MB after this email, so... watch for them.

I'll be working with Keldorn in the coming weeks to start my SG vs. SG competitions. Given its relative weakness atm, I won't be having the DB compete as yet. I think they need to get just a little bit stronger first. I'm thinking Intel vs. the BHG for my first attempt. That should be an interesting battle. Both groups are geared to covert ops type things, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

That's pretty much all I have this week other than my competition. The results of that will determine what graphics you see on my upcoming webpage, so please do watch this space carefully.

Special Operations Director Report #3 .08.09.03

Welcome to the third Special Operations Director's report! I must apologize for the lateness of this report, btw, I have been trying to settle in at school and so last week was a busy one.

Well folks... it's been a long, SWG filled summer for me and I'm sorry to say I'm back in school now, so I don't play as much. School, however, is not going to affect my plans for SOD, not by a longshot.

I am going to begin working with Darknyte on the first of two websites related to next year's 10th anniversary. The first of these, is the EH heroes website. This had been an all LO project, but as I mentioned in my initial report, I think this needs to be more descriptive of the achievements of the people that were given the medal of honor. I would also like to note, that anyone who has been expelled, will not be on my version of this(DN, please make a note of this). Again, this was originally DN's project, but I had told him I would work with him on it, because I can help him with info on some of the older folks that he might not know about.

Additionally , I have asked Astatine to post my SOD Webpage Graphics competition on the TC website and I've extended the deadline a week longer so as to get quality, rather than crappy last minute submissions(Originally it ends tomorrow!) Once I have some good solid graphics of all types, I intend to go ahead and work with the IO and Alex Foley to help with the code for the actual site itself. Hopefully, I get some nice submissions and can have a very cool looking page.

The final piece of this report is to remind you folks that I will be hosting the first of my SOD's SG vs SG competition as soon as all the webpage stuff is finished. I will be running these competitions from my website with details thereupon as to how to complete specific events.

That's just about all I have for this week. I will continue to play SWG, and work on 10th anniversary events as time passes.

Until next week

The Make A New mIRC Function Competition: 08.23.03
As Emailed From: Communications Officer (FA AbsoluteK)

Communications Office

<SALUTE>

I've started another EH wide competition available to all members of EH, I'd very much appreciate it if you would post the following news item on your respective SG sites.

I have started yet another COMM competition (this must be a record for COMM ;). Its called the "Make a new mIRC function" competition. The idea is to make a simple function that provides a useful way to do a task in mIRC. Entries do not have to be massive full fledged scripts like P&P, rather a simple paragraph of code that will do something useful.

Rewards are as follows:

I'm hoping to promote mIRC scripting in the EH, and perhaps find a few good coders to help make an "EH Script" package. The contest will end at 12 midnight EST 2003/09/05. Please send all submissions to io@absolutek.ca.

Thank-you,

LT Crawford's Iraq Website: 08.16.03
As Emailed From: COM/VA Khameir Sarin/ISD Grey Wolf

FC Ronin,

Greetings from Iraq. My rifle company was in need of a website so I created one for them. You can find it at http://www.eotf.net

My platoon is the Ghostriders and I am Lieutenant Crawford. There are a lot of pictures that you can view of our living arrangements over here. Its pretty good stuff. You might like.

Also, Pri selected me as Commodore of the ISD Grey Wolf despite being in Iraq. Pretty cool stuff. My games are in route via the mail. My guys make fun of me ruthlessly for being Vice Admiral Sarin. Typical comments are "Uh Sir, You are a Dork" heh.

Take care, hope you like the website!

Introduction

Hello guys and gals.

Another week has passed and I have been preparing for my leave. My CA already went on leave, I am leaving on Sunday, but TCCs are still here. They will do their job, but all important TAC things will have to wait on my return, on Wednesday 27th. Then I will clear the backlogs, start new competition and do other things.

Releasing new battles on hold
Project Shield is still under going, so no new battles. But fear not, I will release huge number when we will finish with Shield.

Mission Creation Corner
Nothing this week, too bad.

Mailer errors
XO is the only one who can fix database problems, so please do not report mailer errors to me. I can do nothing about them, since I don't have access to eh.net. However, you can report TacDB issues to me, so I can fix them ASAP.

FCHG Competition #4 - Eagles of Freedom
Yes. New competition will arrive soon. Since we are in MCW finals where Frodo faces Carl Lost/Viper duo and there are no other mission creation competition. This competition will be about rDB accident, so you can start writing your plotlines. More info soon, as I am clarifying awards matter with TO.

Mission Creation Courses
Here are stats and urls for all mission creation courses:

TIE Mission Creation (TM) - 53 graduates
XvT Mission Creation (XTM/1) - 321 graduates
XvT Advanced Mission Creation (XTM/2) - 118 graduates
XWA Mission Creation (XAM) - 7 graduates
RogueWing, please mail me your data each week.
Tactical Office Person of the Week:
This week Chris McCollum is PotW, as recommended by TCC:XW
My nomination this week for Pilot of the Week is Captain Chris McCollum. Chris eagerly joined on as a X-Wing tester, and being equally eager, flew straight through testing a X-Wing battle and played an intregal part in letting us finish testing it in about less than a week :) I'm sure I'll continue to see this kind of activity in the future from him :)
Excellent work Chris.
