From Alpha Squadron CMDR CPT Witchblade:
It's taken a little while for his exploits to catch up with him, but Lieutenant Sid_amos has been a hugely valued member of Alpha Squadron since he joined in January 2024. He has consistently scored Silver Stars month after month and has been a breath of fresh air aboard the ISD Hammer. I am therefore very pleased to be promoting him to Lieutenant Commander! Well done!
Congratulations, LCM Sidamos!
Due to administrative delays, this promotion is active retroactively from March 13th.
From Alpha Squadron CMDR CPT Witchblade:
LCM Shane has been an exemplary member of Alpha Squadron since our reformation. He has scored over 200 Legions of Combat during this time and has taken on the duties of Flight Leader, something that he has acquitted very well! I am pleased to be promoting him to the rank of Commander for his efforts!
Congratulations, CM Shane!
Due to administrative delays, this promotion is active retroactively from February 17th.
From the Commander of Battlegroup I, RA Genie:
Gytheran has been exemplary these past few months.
In the flying scene, he's been consistently active, earning a Silver Star every month without fail, since July 2022!
More importantly, ever since he took the reins of the Lambda Squadron, he has been leading by example and is tirelessly working on keeping both his squad and BG1 active, encouraging our pilots to participate and compete in major competitions, leading by example and creating his own competitions, and championing games from the TC such as SWTOR and more recently Destiny 2.
Futhermore, he has been instrumental in adding SWTOR and Destiny 2 as TC games by doing all the groundwork and submitting them to the COO office for review. If that was not enough, he has been very proactive with valuable feedback for making useful changes to existing major TC competitions such as Raise the Flag, Imperial Storm and Remob.
I thus highly recommend Gytheran for promotion to Colonel!
Congratulations, COL Gytheran!
For earning a first set of Legions of Skirmish in Star Wars: Squadrons, SL CubeV35 of Gamma Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.
Congratulations, LT CubeV35!
One of the Squadron (Re)Mobilization 6 tasks calls for playing PvE matches with your squadron.
As per last year, for those playing EABF2 PvE matches to complete this task I would ask if you could drop the screenshots of who was in the match here.
The Tactical Office is pleased to announce the release of the first ever custom content for the TIE Fighter Total Conversion for XWA (TFTC).
Commander Jagged Fell III has been working exceptionally hard on making TFTC battles and discovering the amazing possibilities of the platform.
TFTC-TC 1: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Coruscant is a conversion of his first two Anti-Rogue XWA battles.
We highly recommend installing the Wav Pack. Jagged has put a lot of effort into audio files, skins, medals and planet backdrops.
Note: TFTC custom content is a new platform and not supported by the EHBL. Please read the installation instructions carefully, particularly about the backups that need to be made. We are working on improving the process.
Two frees were also released:
Over the last four months the Inbox of the MAA has seen numerous Clusters of Fire as well as many completed Singleplayer-Missions.
All of these submissions were compiled in the First Competition to elect the Guard that will protect our secrets and fight our battles.
These are the six selected Guardians:
You've earned the right to the Purple Robes and the Force Pikes forged for you by Inquisitor Taurus. Soon you will be sworn in in a special ceremony and receive your assignments to enact the will of the Secret Order.
Congratulation!
Welcome to this years TIE Corps Exercise: Squadron (Re)Mobilization!
Commencing at 00:01 UTC on May 1st!
As per todays TCCOM report -
Starting from its first run in 2019, (Re)Mob was designed to get each squadron together to complete tasks as a team in a way that was similar in scale to Raise the Flag but not as much of a firehose of activity...
Squadron (Re)Mobilization is a competition that pits our squadrons, largely against themselves and rewards squadrons for working together as a team. Over the course of the next month each squadron will try and complete as many of the tasks on the list as possible, each task having been broken into four equal chunks to assist them in completing the tasks they wish to complete.
The tasks cover many of the different activities that the TIE Corps has to offer, from completing Single Player battles from our Battle Compendium, to flying both against and with each other in PvP or PvE combat. We also have tasks around fiction writing, completing Imperial University Courses and wiki editing alongside creating the outline of a battle which was a big hit last year!
Additional background information can be found in todays Warfare Officer Report.
CPT Blaster72 is taking a step back from the Squadron Commander (CMDR) role to a Flight Member position in Gamma Squadron. Thank you for your service!
Succeeding him as CMDR will be Gamma's Executive Officer, CM Habu. Congratulations and good luck in your new role!
For completing their first TC custom missions in X-Wing Alliance, SL Race Kesyk of Tempest Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.
Congratulations, LT Race Kesyk!
In the near future, the Internet Office will be implementing a change on the site that will change how multiplayer (MP) match wins increase the pilot’s combat rating (CR) and Flight Certification Wing (FCW) point totals.
To get two obvious concerns out of the way, we’re not changing the number of points needed to achieve CR ranks or FCW echelons and steps are being taken to ensure that no pilot gains or loses progress in their CR or FCW when the new system takes effect.
The change being made is to how many points a win will contribute to your total when you win a match. Right now, all MP wins are worth one point each. Similar to what we’ve been doing in competitions like Raise the Flag, Ace of the TIE Corps, and Imperial Storm, we’re going to give each game a different weight based on the type of combat (PvP or PvE), the average match duration, the anticipated win/loss rate over time, and even some incidentals like average queue times. In addition, for the first time we’ll be awarding bonuses for playing with or against other members of the Emperor’s Hammer and we’ll have the ability to award a bonus for winning a match while an event is active. The bonuses will be in the form of percentages that we can modify as needed as opposed to being set in stone at the beginning.
For example, a pilot that wins an EABF2 PvE match in the new system will earn 3.5 points. With two other EH players in the match they’d earn a 35% grouping bonus, bringing them to 4.725 points. With an event offering a 20% bonus for EABF2 matches, that’d bring the total to 5.67 points. We’ll be rounding up to the nearest tenth to keep the numbers trim, so 5.7 points. Because we’re not changing the CR or FCW thresholds, we’ll need to do some normalization and divide that by a conversion factor based on the average of all match base values, currently 3.6, so the pilot will earn 1.6 points towards their CR and FCW. That’s a 60% increase over the current system that would’ve only awarded the pilot 1 point.
The main reason for this change is that we’ve been recognizing that not all MP matches are equal. Some take longer, are more difficult to win, or even take more time to get into. To make sure that tougher matches are as attractive as more spammable matches, we’ll rebalance the number of points being awarded. The grouping bonus and event bonus are new benefits meant to bring pilots together and encourage group play.

From Theta Squadron CMDR LC Vapen Van’an:
LT Jai Thorne joined the TC and Theta just in time to contribute to the war effort against the Kilji in Imperial Storm VI. He brings a zeal and positivity that was quickly noticed and encouraged with his promotion to Flight Leader. He went on to show this was the right move by helping to lead the squadron, not just in missions flown, medals earned, and Imperial University courses taken; but importantly by his consistent communication and efforts to build squadron morale. For these reasons, I proudly recommend his promotion to Lieutenant Commander post haste.
Congratulations, LCM Jai Thorne!
From Theta Squadron CMDR LC Vapen Van’an:
LT Nix Varro joined Theta Squadron as Imperial Storm VI began as Squadron Executive Officer. He quickly went to work helping lead the squadron not just through an impressive number of missions flown and passing the TCCORE. Most notably, he has been a steadfast contributor to the squadron's morale and consistently communicating and encouraging activity in the squadron chat. Nix has proven himself as a vital asset to Theta, leading by example with regular medals each month. For these reasons, I am proud to recommend him for promotion to Lieutenant Commander.
Congratulations, LCM Nix Varro!
Since his appointment to Magistrate to the MAA, Legion Ordo has contributed a tremendous bit. From Constant pitching in into competitions, actually designing and running them and collecting data for new Games. He has helped as MAA in large parts and i want to honor this bit with his Elevation to Preator within my Office.
Congratulation Legion, keep up the good Work!
