From the Commander of Scorpion Squadron, GN Stryker:
Captain Azar has been a key member of Scorpion Squadron since December 2024. During this time he has stepped up to the plate every time he has been asked to, as a FM, FL, and more recently as SQXO. For his continued dedication to Scorpion Squadron and the TIE Corps, he has more than earned this overdue promotion to Major.
Congratulations, MAJ Prot Azar!
From the Commander of Battlegroup I, VA Genie:
I am recommending CPT Nova Discordia for the rank of Major
CPT Nova has accumulated 7 BS, 4 PCs, and 5 ISMs. She has been a steady hand in navigating Epsilon Squadron over the years, cultivating a unique spirit within the squadron that gels all the Epsilon pilots together. It is time to recognize her long service to the TIE Corps, to Battlegroup I, and to Epsilon Squadron!
Congratulations, MAJ Nova Discordia!
From the Commander of Battlegroup I, VA Genie:
I am recommending CPT LQC-75-3 for the rank of Major
CPT LQC has achieved 1 BS, 2 PCs, and 1 ISM in the past 6 months as Gamma CMDR and has successfully taken the mantle from Habu, keeping Gamma active and leading by example. His enthusiasm is unrivaled, and I am hoping we will see even more of LQC in the coming months.
Congratulations, MAJ LQC-75-3!
From the Commander of Battlegroup I, VA Genie:
I am recommending MAJ Witchblade for the rank of Lieutenant Colonel
MAJ Witchblade has achieved 1 SS and 5 ISMs over the past few months.
More importantly, she has been instrumental in keeping Alpha Squadron strong and active, as illustrated by the great performance of Alpha Squadron in the various competitions, spearheading BG1, and the constant Discord activity.
Congratulations, LC Witchblade!
Following the retirement of GN Honsou from Sin CMDR, he's being recognized for his service to the Corps in that role.
From the Commander of Battlegroup II, AD Alexandre Morgan:
Honsou is already widely regarded for his accomplishments in his role in the Training Office and his landmark resurrecting contributions to the not-so-Secret Order, but this does not tell the whole story of Honsou’s impact on the Emperor’s Hammer. His efforts given to the TIE Corps and Battlegroup II behind the curtain are nothing short of pivotal. Honsou has certainly led his squadron to major successes in the past two-plus years, but behind the scenes, he has worked far above and beyond the scope of the CMDR position. Corps-wide comp after Corps-wide comp and campaign after campaign, Honsou has been carrying Battlegroup II on his shoulders for two years.
On one level, Honsou is a tremendous advisor. Not a day goes by when I don’t run an idea past him, ask him for clarification on a subject, or ask what he would do, and I know that my predecessor did the same. But further than that, he steps up to the plate when action is called for. When management of Imperial Storm VII was needed - and VIII the next year - Honsou lent his time, efforts, and expertise without hesitation. In Raise the Flag, he campaigned relentlessly on behalf of the Battlegroup, organizing and leading it to back-to-back first place finishes. Without Honsou’s help, myself and my predecessor would see not even one half of the results we enjoy today.
These Battlegroup-level efforts, far above his post’s requirements, did not come at the cost of his squadron’s success. Even considering Sin Squadron’s past successes, Honsou drove the group to even higher levels of operational greatness. His rallying put Sin back on the map with a 3rd place finish in RtF ‘24 and 2nd place finish in RtF ‘25. Sin accomplished 40/48 tiers in ReMob 7 and 48/52 tiers in ReMob 8, the second-highest of the entire Corps. And beyond his own organization and administration of the past two Imperial Storm campaigns, his pilots routinely contribute in meaningful ways thanks to his leadership.
The Corps is a far worse place for Honsou not sitting in a CMDR seat, but he has certainly earned his retirement. This recommendation serves as acknowledgment for the difference in where Battlegroup II and the whole Corps would be without him. Thank you, Honsou.
GN Honsou's second Gold Star is now on his profile. Congratulations!
From the Commander of Battlegroup II, AD Alexandre Morgan:
For the past five months, OL"Davy Jonez has led Rho Squadron with vigor and enthusiasm. Since his promotion to the rank of Major last year, Jonez has earned ten merit medals and hundreds of MSE points. With his reliable presence and public visibility, Jonez sets the standard for accessibility and practicality in leadership. With his currently ongoing competition administration, he continues to demonstrate his dedication towards contributing to the growth of his squadron, his Battlegroup, and the Corps at large. For his successes since his previous promotion and his efforts in his leadership role, I recommend that OL"Davy Jonez be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel.
Congratulations, LC OL"Davy Jonez!
For giving us an extensive insight into his Character through the INPR, SL Qask Merrow of Typhoon Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.
Congratulations, LT Qask Merrow!
For the past two-and-a-half years, General Honsou has led Sin Squadron to astounding successes and impressive achievements. From back-to-back podium finishes in Raise the Flag to high tier completion in ReMobs and Battlegroup-level leadership in the Imperial Storm campaigns, Honsou’s contributions to his squadron, Battlegroup, and Corps can never be forgotten. He has chosen to now retire, saying something along the lines of ‘I’m getting old now’ and claiming to be in charge of some Secret organization, the details of which he was not readily forthcoming when pressed.
Replacing him as Sin CMDR is Hector von Ricmore. Hector has studied as Honsou’s SQXO for over a year, learning from the greatest. I look forward to his tenure with excitement and enthusiasm, knowing that he brings the same to the table. Congratulations to both of these excellent Sinners.
MAJ Sid_amos has been a strongly contributing member to Tempest Squadron over the last ten months, where he's earned over 1000 Legions of Skirmish, over 100 Legions of Combat, dozens of singleplayer missions, and served as Tempest's XO. He was one of the top performers during Squadron ReMobilization this year, encouraging our pilots to fly together and doing plenty on his own, showing leadership and positive encouragement.
I had multiple applicants from within the squadron apply, but only one spot available - and after discussions with TIE Corps leadership, I have decided to move forward with Sid_amos as Tempest's Flight Leader for Flight 3.
Congratulations, Major!
From Sin Squadron CMDR GN Honsou:
Since his promotion to Captain, Jayden Halcorr has served in both Epsilon & Sin Squadron as SQXO, has picked up ten merit medals, and even had time for a year of R&R on the FRG Phoenix, before returning to active duty in Sin Squadron.
Jayden is often present in voice communications and is a truly uplifting individual, with his delightful quips and one-liners. Which are always guaranteed to draw laughter and camaraderie, remembered for years after the event.
For his dedication and performance, I am proud to recommend Jayden Halcorr be promoted to the rank of Major and be afforded all rights, privileges, and responsibilities entailed.
Congratulations, MAJ Jayden Halcorr!

From Kappa Squadron CMDR GN Jarek La’an:
MAJ Gabagool has proven himself a Kappan stalwart, contributing steady activity, reliable leadership as a trusted Flight Leader and acting often as the public face of the squadron on many voice chats and channels. His recent spate of 4 merit medals back to back, with a 5th to follow soon, ensure he's met all criteria for elevation - his active participation in competitions, now moving to running his own, have proven beyond doubt his readiness for promotion to Lieutenant Colonel.
Congratulations, LC Gabba Gabagool
Epsilon Squadron is pleased to announce that after applying for the advertised role of Flight Leader, LT Rupie has been successful and has taken up this new position as of this date, leading Flight III of Epsilon.
Great Work Pilot!
CPT Nova Discordia
Squadron Commander, Epsilon Squadron
From Sin Squadron CMDR GN Honsou:
CPT Hector Von Ricmore joined Sin Squadron as my SQXO a year ago, being promoted to the rank of Captain shortly afterwards. Over the past ten months he has proven time and time again that this trust was not misplaced. Hector has been a cornerstone of Sin Squadron's success from a second place RtF finish, to the second most tiers completed in the entire fleet during ReMob. He has participated in a dozen competitions of all types, and has recently taken to running his own. Which has been very well received across the TIE Corps. Of particular note, he has been awarded well over one thousand Legions of Skirmish in that time and a string of five consecutive Bronze Stars for his monthly contributions. Most importantly, Hector is ever-present in communications and a truly inspiring individual to the rest of the Squadron.
For his self-distinguishing activity and performance, I am proud to recommend Hector Von Ricmore be promoted to the rank of Major and be afforded all rights, privileges, and responsibilities entailed.
Congratulations, MAJ Hector Von Ricmore!
From Rho Squadron CMDR MAJ OL"Davy Jonez:
His journey through the ranks has been marked not only by skill in the cockpit, but by the bonds he has forged within Rho Squadron. Time and again, He has proven that victory is not solely measured in kill counts, but in the trust, respect, and camaraderie he inspires among his fellow pilots.
From his first Legion to his most recent ReMob campaign, he has embodied the spirit of Rho. A squadron where friendship fuels determination, and determination fuels success. His dedication has elevated our performance, and his humor has kept morale high even in the darkest reaches of space. This promotion should not just be a recognition of personal achievements, but a testament to the way Miguel lifts those around him.
As a Major, He will carry greater responsibility, but I have no doubt Miguel will meet it with the same courage, loyalty, and heart that has defined his career thus far.It is my honor to recommend that Captain Miguel be promoted to the rank of Major....with haste.
MAJ OL'Davy Jonez
Congratulations, MAJ Miguel!
From Spear Squadron CMDR MAJ Mack Udar:
For the month of June 2026, LT Et'sen Kryze has been a positive force within the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps. In addition to his participation in the ReMobilization of the TIE Corps comp, he has submitted several LoCs and LoSs as well as a Fiction and Uniform updates.
For these reasons, I proudly recommend the rank promotion from Lieutenant to Lieutenant Commander.
Congratulations, LCM Et'sen Kryze!

In May and June, he took part in over 112 successful battles, has taken dozens of IU courses, submitted written works, and more - not to mention a near-perfect score on TCCORE. For his dedication to the TIE Corps, I recommend he be promoted to Lieutenant Commander.
Congratulations, LCM Colten Fyyar!
