From Typhoon Squadron CMDR COL Jagged Fell III:

Since his last promotion, CPT JKast has been an absolute wreaking ball of activity. By the numbers he has: flown 205 single player missions, earned 106 Legions of Combat and 36 Legions of Skirmish, competed in 50 different competitions/rounds, has posted a mission High Score, wrote over 6,300 words of fiction, and written 34 battle reviews.

He also placed first for Battlegroup III for 2025 RtF and in the 2025 RtF Hot Shots competition and so much more. He also has been a great Squadron Executive Officer to me, helping hype the different competitions Typhoon has been in and always willing to help us over the line to our larger goals in the main Fleet competitions. I can’t wait to see what is next for him and it is with great pleasure I am recommending his promotion to Major in the Emperor’s Hammer TIE Corps.

Congratulations, MAJ JKast!

From Theta Squadron CMDR MAJ Tiran Marr:

Since his promotion to the rank of Captain on June 4th, 34 ABY, CPT Armon Ferro has served honorably in his role as Theta Squadron's Executive Officer. He has been a shining example of outstanding levels of activity and drive for earning himself top remarks upon the various monthly leaderboards across the club. He has successfully achieved both the necessary time in rank and the number of merit medals required to see him through to the next chapter in his career within the TIE Corps: the rank of Major. Since his time as a Captain, he has accumulated an outstanding total of 1,340 Legions of Skirmish, 4 Legions of Combat, participation in various competitions, all on top of being a valued member of the Squadron overall. His actions reflect great credit upon himself, Theta Squadron, the TIE Corps, and the Emperor's Hammer. I am honored to formally promote him to the rank of Major.

Congratulations, MAJ Armon Ferro!

From Typhoon Squadron CMDR COL Jagged Fell III:

Since his last promotion, Commander GamerRat has flown 111 single player missions, earned 49 Legions of Combat and 24 Legions of Skirmish, competed in several competitions including TIE Corps in Battle and Raise the Flag, passed 20 Imperial University courses, written 20 Battle reviews, written 3 bug reports, and has written over 8,600 words of fiction.

Since joining Typhoon Squadron he has been an active participant in our competitions and our squadron chat and has more than met the requirements for the rank of Captain in the TIE Corps.

Congratulations, CPT GamerRat!

From Tempest Squadron CMDR GN Silwar Naiilo:

MAJ Grendel has been a stalwart member of Tempest Squadron for almost three years, proof shown through his dozens of Bronze and Silver stars. He has consistently led the squadron in activity and as a Flight Leader, clearing the path ahead for our fleet and driving fear into the hearts of those who dare to oppose us.

For his consistent efforts and strength in leadership, I recommend his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel.

Congratulations, LC Grendel!

For completing a first Single Player Battle, in X-wing vs TIE Fighter, SL Veelo Horne of Gamma Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.

Congratulations, LT Veelo Horne!

From Kappa Squadron CMDR GN Jarek La’an:

CPT Drakon has spent the vast majority of her near 10 year TC career in Kappa squadron, rising to become it's SQXO and serving as such for the last 30 months. Since the start of 2026 she has earned no fewer than 250 LoS, earning 2 BS and a PC in the last 4 months alone. An active communicator and positive force within the squadron, her recent efforts in Imperial Storm exemplify her ability to rally Kappa and set an example for her peers to follow. Having met the requirements in time served and merit medals awarded I have no hesitation in ensuring her loyalty and contributions are rewarded with a much deserved promotion to Major, a rank befitting her efforts and the SQXO role she will continue to hold.

Congratulations, MAJ Rachel Drakon!

From Typhoon Squadron CMDR COL Jagged Fell III:

Phoenix gripped the console as the ship shuddered beneath the latest barrage. Smoke drifted across the bridge, obscuring several of the screens, but despite the damage, the ship fought on.

The order to fall back had been given days ago, yet the First Order kept coming. No matter which way the TIE Corps fleets turned, enemy forces were waiting for them. They seemed to be everywhere.

And now, just as the fleet passed beyond what they believed to be the limits of First Order control, they had stumbled into a trap.

Fifteen gargantuan Resurgent-class Star Destroyers and twenty light cruiser escorts had followed them out of hyperspace as they made their final course correction.

This was it.

Make or break.

The final round of Imperial Storm is upon us - pilots to your fighters! You have just over 48 hours to make a impact to the future of the fleet!

Orders here

With only a few rounds of combat left to go, Imperial Storm enters the home stretch.

The Battlegroup Commanders, victorious from the weekends battle with the First Order but leading a fleet showing signs of their recent struggles continue to plot a path out of the area of space controlled by the enemy. The latest gambit has seen the combined might of all fleet jump further away from their recent battles, but as they dropped out of hyperspace in system X5963-C they were intercepted by a strong enemy force of FIVE Resurgent Class Star Destroyers and their escort of TEN Light Cruisers...

To your fighters pilots!

Faced with overwhelming odds, the forces of the TIE Corp have engineered a daring escape. By executing a quick jump into hyperspace which has taken them perpendicular to the galactic plane they have evaded the bulk of the First Order forces.

Their drop out point sees them facing off against a pair of RSD’s and 10 Light Cruisers as they seek to evade the FO…
