After a month long campaign full of small battles that slowly chipped away at both the Emperor's Hammer and Ishtari forces, the Emperor's Hammer was able to push into the core planets of the system. Vicious fighting lasted until the last day, where the TIE Corps eventually proved triumphant.

Over the course of a month forces of the TIE Corps and Secret Order put up a mighty fight, contesting every star system in the Rift and destroying well over half of the Kilji starfleet before the enemy forces fell back. Participants in the campaign were recognized with award of the General Campaign Medal - 2013 Tkon Rift, with the blue and white ribbon alluding to the insignia of the Chiss Ascendancy in recognition of the newly established relationship between the groups.

Vice AdmiralDuring his tenure as my Command Attaché, Rear Admiral Honsou has demonstrated unwavering loyalty to Training Office and an exceptional capacity for leadership. He has been a steadfast support to both myself and my staff, often assuming command duties in my absence with the poise and authority befitting a Vice Admiral. Rear Admiral Honsou assumed operational control of the Shadow Academy, grading courses almost as quickly as they were submitted; under his direction, the Academy has never been in better hands. He has shown unmatched dedication to the training and advancement of our future officers, serving not only as a commander, but as a mentor and exemplar of EH ideals. His initiative and ability to inspire loyalty within the ranks mark him as a natural leader and a valuable asset to the EH. Rear Admiral Honsou has consistently gone beyond the call of duty, ensuring the seamless function of our command. It is my belief that Rear Admiral Honsou is not only prepared for the responsibilities of Vice Admiral, but is already performing at that level. The elevation of his rank would be both a recognition of his achievements and a reinforcement of the high standards we demand of EH leadership. So it is my great honor to recommend Rear Admiral Honsou for the promotion of Vice Admiral.Promotion recommended by: FA Sylas Pitt |

ColonelBetween the time of his prior promotion on the sixth day of the fourth month of Imperial Year ABY 31, and the 23rd day of the twelfth month of this Imperial Year ABY 33 when Lieutenant Colonel Honsou was awarded a Palpatine Crescent, the Sin Squadron Commander has lead his crew to a Third Place Squadron achievement in this year’s Raise the Flag, managed six competitions for Squadron and Fleet, and submitted seven Squadron Reports for the records of his prior assignments and current. Lieutenant Colonel Honsou continues to demonstrate admirable skills as a pilot - earning 138 Legions of Combat, 903 Legions of skirmish, and completing 21 missions from the Single Pilot Simulator catalogue across this time. With broad efforts and participation, Lieutenant Colonel Honsou has been awarded two Commendations of Loyalty during this time range, and collected a wide array of Iron Stars of various Wings and Ribbons. He has completed 13 courses from the Imperial University on the way to achieving four academic Certificates, with a Graduate of Starfighter Operations achievement to cap his accomplishments. Lieutenant Colonel Honsou has now reached the Elite 4th and Master Ranger 2nd Combat Ratings, placing him in the 17th Echelon of Flight Certification. Through the combination of the above details with 21 medals earned from monthly evaluations across the 32 months since his prior promotion, in honor of his leadership bringing a resurgence to historical Sin Squadron, and in celebration of Sin Squadron reaching 100% completion of the TCCORE across its membership via his guidance, we proudly recommend Lieutenant Colonel Honsou be awarded the rank of Colonel - with all rights, privileges, and responsibilities entailed.Promotion recommended by: COL fr0Zen |

Lieutenant ColonelMAJ Honsou is a fiercely loyal and dedicated commander who has seen Tempest through numerous victories in TIE Corps-wide competitions. He spends significant personal time training pilots of all skill levels from any squadron and any ship, increasing the combat efficiency of the entire fleet, and still manages to find time to earn hundreds of combat victories. For his dedication to the Fleet and the Empire, I recommend Honsou be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel.Promotion recommended by: GN Silwar Naiilo |
