The Fleet was successful in its first encounter with the Phare System Rogue Imperial Fleet orbiting Loki, the outermost planet in the Phare System (see the EH Systems Manual released with NL #27). A Corellian Corvette, a Frigate, two Strike Cruisers and a Dreadnaught greeted elements of the Emperor's Strike Fleet, including the ISD Challenge and the ISD Vanguard. Needless to say, the Rouge Imperial garrison was rapidly eliminated by our forces. The SSD Avenger and Infiltrator Wing's FRG Insidious soon joined the two Imperial Class Star Destroyers in the Phare System to set up the first Emperor's Hammer garrison within the Imperial stations on Loki.

The Fleet Commander has created a new Free Mission (Ronin-7) which recreates the attack on a Supply Depot orbiting Loki in the Phare System...This mission was created/edited for use in TIE Fighter CD and replaces b3m1bm.tie in the c:\tie\mission subdirectory. This new edited TIE CD mission can be found attached to this Newsletter and is fully playable in both TIE Fighter CD and TIE Fighter (disk version). However, it is suggested that In-Flight speech in TIE Fighter CD be turned off...
