Training Lightsaber Course Released!

Praetorian

29 August, 2009 04:00
17 ABY

As I promised, I have developed a new course in which members ranking from Novice to Jedi Hunter can earn their Training Lightsaber. Up until now the requirements have simply been that you complete the Lightsaber Construction Course and Lightsaber Techniques Course, but now I have made a third addition to the requirements to carry your Training Lightsaber - you must now also pass the Training Lightsaber Course. I hope everyone will enjoy the course as I had some fun making it for you guys.

Keep in mind that currently no one has Lightsabers being displayed on their profile, but eventually we will so just be patient and once everything is set you will be able to display your Training Lightsaber. For now though by passing this course you have earned the right to wield your Training Lightsaber in any fiction or duels through the Combat Center you may encounter. Good luck to all you test takers and I hope to see this course get used!

All Pontiffs Relieved of Duty

Praetorian

27 August, 2009 04:00
17 ABY

As of today, Wednesday August 26th, the Shadow Academy will be releasing all Pontiffs from their duties. Previously when our sub-group was so large that it was difficult for the Headmaster and his attaches to keep up with the amount of courses being taken there was in fact a need for the Pontiff positions but with out current day in age there is quite frankly no real need for anyone to be grading exams outside of the Headmaster, Praetor to the Headmaster and Magistrate to the Headmaster. Between the three of us there is very little work to be done around the SA and to be quite honest I just end up getting on every morning and grading all exams that need to be graded anyway so even my Praetor and Magistrate will rarely be grading exams. I appreciate those of you that have given your time and efforts to assist the Shadow Academy but the services of a Pontiff are just not needed currently. Now this is not a perminant thing and I soon hope to be able to give everyone that would desire a job with the SA a job but we need time to grow in size and activity before such things are needed.

Now I am aware that some of you were Pontiffs over courses that you made, and yes you too have been removed. I understand this may be a bit aggrevating to you but please understand that there is already very little work to be done around the SA between the three of us and the addition of several people being Pontiff only tends to delay the amount of time that things are graded and is beginning to be more of a pain than it is a help. Those of you that have created courses are more than welcome to continue assisting the SA in development of new courses or updating your current ones in which you WILL BE REWARDED for your continued efforts but for now the position of Pontiff outside of the HM, P:HM and M:HM will be closed to the general membership of the Dark Brotherhood until later on. This is not something I just decided to do, as I originally wanted to do this as soon as I was appointed as Headmaster but I decided to give it some time and see how it would play out, and as I expected its just not the proper time for our SA to employ so many people..

I laid out in the original email / news post that all submissions were to be sent to that group. If you failed to do
so then your activity will not be counted. I'm sorry but those are the rules.

Addendum to TIE Corps policies and procedures

Jedi Eclipse

24 August, 2009 16:23
17 ABY
TIE Corps policies and procedures
Addendum to the Pilots Manual

1. Terminology that will be used henceforth in this document:
1.1 -
Activity - fly at least one mission (MP/SP), write a piece of fiction, present a graphic, take part in a competition or post (Meaningfully, spam is not counted) on the message board. In addition to contacting their direct commanding officer with status / activity report.
1.2-
AWOL - Absent Without Leave - Term used to designate an inactive member who may respond to emails but fails to meet the requirements for Activity (1.1) within a 30 day period. AWOL pilots may retain their rank but is transferred to the Reserves.
1.3-
MIA - Missing In Action - Term used to designate an inactive member that is unable to be reached and has not had any meaningful Activity (1.1) within a proscribed time limit. MIA pilots do not retain their rank and are listed in the database as inactive and do not show up on a roster.
1.4 -
Re-Qual - Requalification process. This is a mandatory step for all members returning from reserves or an inactive status. This consists of meeting a flight requirement (TBA)
1.5 -
LOA - Leave of Abscense - A (normally) set period of time, like a vacation that a pilot will be unable to participate in anything that meets Activity (1.1) requirements. (ie, a pilot will be in training for an armed forces group (Real Life) for a certain amount of time and will be unable to contact their superiors in the TC)

2. New / Updates to Procedures
2.1-
Any pilot that wishes to return from the Reserves or an inactive status will now have to follow a new process if they are in the reserves longer than 30 days.
2.1.1. Contact the TCCOM with intent to become active
2.1.2. TCCOM will then referr the pilot to the Dean and be transferred to Daedelus
2.1.3. The pilot will then have to complete one of these steps:
2.1.3.a: Complete Flight certification :
Fly a battle or mission out of a given set to be determined by the Dean based on platforms available to the pilot.
2.1.3.b: Provision for non-flight capable members :
There are times that members want to become active again within the TC but cannot for whatever reason participate in flight operations. It is understood that this happens and will provide this alternative. Any pilot attempting this step must provide the Dean with a piece of Fiction that they wrote describing their in-character reasoning for requesting reactivation as well as an OOC justification for why they should be allowed to become active. Re-entry is based on judgement by members of the Admiralty Board.
2.2 -
The process for AWOL (1.2) has changed. Pilots may now be considered AWOL if they have not participated in any of the proscribed Activities(1.1) within a 30 day period. If a pilot is considered AWOL they will retain their rank and be moved into the reserves where after 30 days will be subject to the new rule 2.1 (above).
2.3 -
In addition to the AWOL Process (2.2) there is a new designation create to handle pilots who are unable to be contacted in any form. This designation is MIA (1.3) and as such pilots will Not be moved into the reserves but will be stricken from the roster and rank will be forfeit. It will be possible to return to active duty from this status however all that are attempting to return must complete the Re-Qual (2.1) process regardless of length of time as MIA. Justification for being MIA will be a requirement as well. It is understood that things can happen that make it hard or impossible to keep in contact and pilots will not be penalized for those situations but they must be addressed on a per-pilot basis.
2.4 -
Any pilot that will undertake a LOA (1.5) that spans Six weeks or more, (inclusive) will be moved to the reserves until such time as they are able to return to active duty. There will be no exceptions to this policy. If a pilot has a schedueld LOA that they know will be longer than Six weeks they will be transferred to the reserves after the first week in case of a change in plans. If a pilot is on an unscheduled (spurr of the moment but notified as a LOA) LOA and is unreachable for Six weeks they will be moved to the reserves. This condition is not to be confused with AWOL or MIA. It is the duty of each squadron commander to keep track of their pilots dates of activity and Leaves. Commanders are responsible for reporting all pilots that meet the above conditions promptly.


This addendum to the general orders and regulations of the TIE Corps are now in affect.

*SALUTE*

To all TIE Corps pilots. Just several hours ago, an unknown force has struck at the very heart of the Emperor's Hammer - Aurora system. Despite the brave actions of the Aurora defences and the arriving reinforcements from the entire TIE Corps, we were unable to prevent the adversary from bombarding Aurora Prime. The New Imperial City has been hit hard; although we are still counting casualties, the numbers are already reaching millions. Even now, our citizens are dying as our forces fight off the remnants of the attack force.

In order to properly address the situation, I am issuing Executive Order 213. I hereby create the TIE Corps Rapid Response Force, based on the ISDII Hammer that has recently left the shipyards. All TIE Corps pilots from the following squadrons:
- Alpha
- Kappa
- Tempest
- Tornado
- Flayer
- Fury
- Blue
are to report to the ISDII Hammer for their new assignments. Vice Admiral Astin, the Strategic Operations Officer, shall take command of the Rapid Response Force and will be the commanding officer of the Hammer.

These are trying times for the TIE Corps, but I have full confidence that you will handle this restructure well and shall make the fools that have attacked us understand their mistake. We are elite of the elite, and we will make them pay for what they've done !

Okay, so apparently there are quite a few people that are unable to complete TIE-TC 184. For the sake of those people I have decided to add a new battle to the competition, and it is quite fitting too! All submissions for TIE-TC 184 will be counted still but I will add another battle that will be rewarded just like all the others and it is ... *drum rolls*

"The Perils of Diplomacy"
TIE-FCHG # 3 ( Here )

So with this addendum to the rules, you can receive a IS-GW for not 4 but 5 different battles!

Remember, this competition is based on the overall battle score and not just completion, to be on top you have to push yourself to the limit! ( yes that means playing on HARD :P )

As of a few minutes ago, all the battle reviews and bug reports from the old database have been restored to the Compendium. Unfortunately, the battle ratings were glitchy - it seems the old database allowed you to rate a battle without leaving a review. This means there's no way to retrieve the ratings left to recalculate future average ratings. As a result, the old average rating values were discarded, and all ratings were recalculated using the ones provided with the reviews.
Muchos gracias to LC Kenath Zoron for his work in this.

As the New Republic Fleet attacks our borders, the entire TIE Corps rushes to defend the borders against the invaders.

Pilots of the TIE Corps, due to the recent events the Admiralty board has moved into a strategic operations mode. As such I will move from just a training role to helping assign missions. We have a critical need right now for all active duty pilots to contribute to this effort.

We must now attack the rebel dogs before they can make a strike deeper into our hearts. From initial intelligence it seems they have destroyed our outer defense forces! We must attack them before they can regroup!

All pilots who are flight capable, we call on you to man your ships. Your orders are as follows :

1: The ace pilots are called on to attack the enemy head on! Do what is necessary to break the forces. Spearhead the attack force by lancing into their formations and take care of the fighter escorts so the ISD's can come in and hary the capital ships

[OOC]:
### IMPORTANT ! #######################################################
All submissions for this operation will need to be sent to the following address. Emails with submissions directly to the admiralty board inboxes will be deleted and not counted! Also, you must put a subject to each submission and it must denote the category, ie ('Fiction','MP combat','SP Combat')

Submit to : tc-fleetops@googlegroups.com
Do Not attempt to join this group. It is for submitting only.

#######################################################################
Multiplayer pilots :
You are the elite of the elite TIE Corps pilots, show us what you have. The pilot with the most victories wins!
Medals:
IS-GW (First Place), IS-SW (Second Place), IS-BW (Third Place)
Notes:
There is a special condition, If there are only 3 pilots that participate the rewards change! As this would not seem to be a true battle the rewards will lower, the IS-GW will go to IS-SW, IS-BW, and the third place will get ..... Nothing! Yes that is correct. Nothing. Why the change? The best of the best can only shine in a field of battle, if it is just a few then you really are not deserved the title.

Single Player Pilots :
You are the backbone of our fleet, the force that makes our enemies tremble, now we call on you to do just that. Lay waste to our enemies and make them feel fear! You have been assigned the following duty missions.
Battles:
[TIE] Fly : TIE-TC 184
[XvT] Fly : XvT-TC 105
[XvT:BoP] Fly : BoP-TC 16
[XWA] : XWA-TC 33
Medals :
Scoring is on a per-battle basis.

Operation Serpents Sortie is a go!

Jedi Eclipse

10 August, 2009 00:46
17 ABY
As the New Republic Fleet attacks our borders, the entire TIE Corps rushes to defend the borders against the invaders.

Pilots of the TIE Corps, due to the recent events the Admiralty board has moved into a strategic operations mode. As such I will move from just a training role to helping assign missions. We have a critical need right now for all active duty pilots to contribute to this effort.

We must now attack the rebel dogs before they can make a strike deeper into our hearts. From initial intelligence it seems they have destroyed our outer defense forces! We must attack them before they can regroup!

All pilots who are flight capable, we call on you to man your ships. Your orders are as follows :

1: The ace pilots are called on to attack the enemy head on! Do what is necessary to break the forces. Spearhead the attack force by lancing into their formations and take care of the fighter escorts so the ISD's can come in and hary the capital ships

[OOC]:
### IMPORTANT ! #######################################################
All submissions for this operation will need to be sent to the following address. Emails with submissions directly to the admiralty board inboxes will be deleted and not counted! Also, you must put a subject to each submission and it must denote the category, ie ('Fiction','MP combat','SP Combat')

Submit to : tc-fleetops@googlegroups.com
Do Not attempt to join this group. It is for submitting only.

#######################################################################
Multiplayer pilots :
You are the elite of the elite TIE Corps pilots, show us what you have. The pilot with the most victories wins!
Medals:
IS-GW (First Place), IS-SW (Second Place), IS-BW (Third Place)
Notes:
There is a special condition, If there are only 3 pilots that participate the rewards change! As this would not seem to be a true battle the rewards will lower, the IS-GW will go to IS-SW, IS-BW, and the third place will get ..... Nothing! Yes that is correct. Nothing. Why the change? The best of the best can only shine in a field of battle, if it is just a few then you really are not deserved the title.

Single Player Pilots :
You are the backbone of our fleet, the force that makes our enemies tremble, now we call on you to do just that. Lay waste to our enemies and make them feel fear! You have been assigned the following duty missions.
Battles:
[TIE] Fly : TIE-TC 184
[XvT] Fly : XvT-TC 105
[XvT:BoP] Fly : BoP-TC 16
[XWA] : XWA-TC 33

The leadership of Hetaeriae Cethin has changed. Former Dux, Anahorn Dempsey, stepped back and made way for the rise of Dark Jedi Knight Jalin Nirtoiz.
While stepping back as Dux, Dempsey will not retire completely but remain as a member in Cethin, having been raised from the rank of Sith Warrior to Sith Battlemaster for the continued dedication shown during the time as Dux.

So, drinks on Demps and Jalin!

Rumours

The Aurora Times reporters have recently performed an investigation regarding the recent lack of public appearances by the Emperor's Hammer Executive Officer and Fleet Commander. There have been rumours that Grand Admiral Cyric and Sector Admiral Maverick have been sighted recently on the Emperor's Hammer border near the 'Aspire' network of Golan Space Stations.

We have asked the current TIE Corps Commander, Vice Admiral Pred, about the current whereabouts of the EH leaders. All we got was a standard response that such matters are "classified information". When inquired about the rumours presented above, Pred's commented that they are "ridiculous" and should not be taken seriously.

Keep your eyes opened as The Aurora Times investigation continues !

I think it\'s about time we get some happy news around here. I\'m very excited to announce the promotion of the TIE Corps\' newest General: Kaisin Mirtez of Kappa Squadron! Below is the promotion request made by GN Rancorous, which I think sums it up pretty well.

In four days time, by my reckoning, COL Kaisin Mirtez will reach 4 years service in the TIE Corps, the last year or this term he has served at the rank of Colonel and Squadron Commander.

During this time he has been an exceptional officer, in fact the very epitome of what the Corps requires in its Commanders. During my time as Wing VI Commander Kaisin has been a ready shoulder to lean on and effectively my right hand man. Always ready to offer support, advice and suggestions for moving the Wing forward, or to try and drum up some activity. He is a dedicated Commander and in his time in Ares and now in Kappa has constantly maintained contact with his pilots attempting to fire them up into activity. If this drive for activity fails Kaisin takes it personally, such is his desire to be the best and command the best.

I have lost count over the years of how many times I have had to upgrade his reported activity from \"Low\" to the more appropriate grade of \"High\" a measure of how high Kaisin sets his own bar.

It is a pleasure to serve with him, despite his ever present \"Pink Lizards\" and I feel that after a year of service at Colonel he richly deserves the promotion to the rank of General and to join the small club of people found worthy of this prestigious rank.

I hereby request the Colonel Kaisin Mirtez of Kappa Squadron, Wing VI on board the ISD II Warrior be promoted to the rank of General with all the rights and privileges that this rank bestows.

Sincerely
GN \"Cube\" Rancorous
Wing VI Commanding
