Ending competitions
EH
The Tactical Office has recently added the original, Totally Games made, main campaigns for both X-Wing and TIE Fighter to the BSF system and pilot files can now be submitted for the original game missions for EH flight credit. Just like the existing TFTC Campaign integration, you can either submit the same pilot file over and over as you progress through the game from the beginning or download a provided pilot file that has been enabled for a particular Battle (all X-Wing Tours of Duty are able to be played with a game made new pilot) that you wish to play. If you choose to use the same pilot file for multiple Tours of Duty/Battles, the BSF system will automatically detect that previous battles have been submitted for the file and only add the newly completed content. Just like for all EH created content, you may only get credit for flying a mission once per calendar year.
In celebration of this "new" single player content the Tactical Office is running a competition to see who is the best at these foundational games. The points will be calculated like they are for FCHG rankings. For every mission you fly and submit to the BSF system (you can only submit fully completed Tours of Duty/Battles) you will receive 1 point, for every mission High Score you will receive 2 points, and for every Battle High Score you will receive 2 points for every mission in that battle. The points for High Scores are calculated at the time of submission (so if another comes along and tops your score, you will NOT lose points). At the end of the competition the points will be totaled up and the top 4 will be awarded Iron Stars (or equivalent). Also, any pilot who participates will also be awarded an ORA for every 4 Tours of Duty/Battles that are completed and the first 5 to complete each game will be awarded and IAR.
Please note that old files are not allowed and you should only use a play through that you started during the competition. Additionally, please remember to play on the unaltered games. Custom EH missions sometimes in the case of X-Wing, and always in the case of TIE Fighter, overwrite the original campaign missions. Please make sure to either use a fresh game install for your play through, or restore from a backup file the original game files.

Money! Money! Money! Money!
Prosperity, Health... yeah those are nice, but we are operatives, so: MONEY !
Unfortunately it's a bit problematic to gauge the earnings of an Operative, as they seem to hide a lot of their proper wealth for tax evasion.
How to enroll in this comp (it's a bit experimental, bear with me) :
You'll go to the Fleet station of your faction, and there you'll find the the LEVEL 10 MODS VENDOR.
Purchase 5 (FIVE) Lethal Mod 5 (150 credits each)
Open your Character and Legacy Bank(if any) as bellow and arrange the mods in that exact pattern.
Now take a screenshot with your vault opened, so we can tally your current Credits:
Submit the info and screenshot to this form, selecting the option "Previously Owned": https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfDcGCUMkU0eAf8HRQEQWyFTpjI0yWo99LG5dqtW7fKSVYFVA/viewform?usp=publish-editor
Then, go have fun!
Before the timer for the mission ends, you must submit an updated screenshot to the form, using the "Earned" option.
A crack commando team of Accountants led by our own Ron from Accounting will evaluate the total earned during this period and the highest take the prize.

From January 1st through the end of March participating pilots are to produce a social media post praising, promoting or discussing Emperor’s Hammer, and/or any of its subgroups, with the goal of receiving the most positive feedback on the post as possible. It can be made to any social media platform but Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter/X are the platforms we already have a presence on, so those are recommended.
Emoji reactions (this includes likes, hearts and thumbs up) are worth 1 point each.
Comments are worth 2 points each.
Shares are worth 3 points each. (Twitter/X is the only recommended platform that tracks reposts. It's included here because my goal is to help spread the word of EH more organically than official posts can. The added benefit of shares is such that it warrants inclusion despite it only applying to mainly one platform. If you can prove a repost with screenshots, including a tag, you'llbe awarded 3 points.)
The post with the most points wins. Please remember to keep your post PG-13, follow our Code of Conduct and do not divulge the personal information of any pilot, including discord screen names, without that person's expressed and written consent. Yes, written consent. So be careful of any screenshots on discord you may incorporate.
Screenshots are to be DMed or emailed to me. My email is ehmastondane@gmail.com but discord is preferred.
You may enter as many times as you like but only one post will be your submission.
*You may edit out any personal information displayed in your submission.

The Emperor has conscripted the services of cantina bands, campfire bards, and Imperial University composers to formulate the perfect theme for Battlegroup III. Upon receipt of these orders, each individual was tasked to formulate an anthem that accurately represented both the histories, people, squadrons, and ships of the entire Battlegroup in preparation for the upcoming inspection, in which there would be an Imperial Parade.
The detailed instructions for such an undertaking are as follows:
Can use AI to create (ex. Suno) to create a song. The song will be an anthem that represents Battlegroup III.
Must have a playable file or link to reference.
Song must be 2:30 to a maximum of 6:00.
Song must contain lyrics with at least 5 references that clearly point to a distinctive trait of Battlegroup III.
Song may contain any number of verses, stanzas, a chorus, a bridge, or any other component as long as it fits within the prescribed time.
May use any music style. Be creative and find something that works for you.
Song must NOT contain any offensive or obscene material.
Have fun, this is a fictional world, and this competition will be graded on the following:
Does it match all details accurately with pieces about BGIII.
The song will also be graded on musical aptitude. Even if you don't think you are creative in that way, try it! You never know what may happen.
Musicality will be a grading point. Does it have a crescendo? Does it have dynamics? Does it change tempos? This is not a list. The anthem should tell a story of BGIII. Does it do that? Does it do that interestingly?
Competition will go for one month. March 1, 2026 to March 31, 2026.
