Get it here and now before it's even posted on the EH Domain! Sector Admiral Compton has released Newsletter #68 to the fleet.

You can download it at: http://www.tiecorps.org/files/nl/hammer68.zip (~1.83 MB).

The people at Star Wars Quake: The Call of the Force have updated their page to include a few new screenshots of their upcoming Quake II mod. You can check them out at their homepage: http://swtc.telefragged.com/ Sadly, they aren't all that spectacular compared their previous screenshots they have showcased in the past. Too bad they decided against porting the game over to the updated Quake III engine. However, we can all hope that gameplay will ultimately triumph over the outdated graphics!

Congratulations to Lieutenant-Commander The_Z, who is appointed to the auxiliary position of XvT Tactical Coordinator; the TCC:XvT basically supervises the correction work on beta tested XvT battles before my final review and release.

The following battles have been updated for bug fixes:

• TC-TIE Battle 1
• TC-TIE Battle 2
• TC-TIE Battle 7
• TC-TIE Battle 11
• TC-TIE Battle 48
• TC-TIE Battle 60
• TC-TIE Battle 78
• TC-TIE Battle 107
• TC-TIE Battle 134
• TC-TIE Battle 156
• TC-TIE Battle 160
• TC-TIE Battle 161
• FREE-TIE Mission 130

One reminder about bug reports: try to be as precise as possible, and don't forget to mention in which mission the bug occured !

I was recently informed by Praetorian's own Rear Admiral Shadd that Praetorian Squadron just finished a competition with the Immortal. This competition was based on total score for Free-TIE #127. The Immortal chose 12 of their best pilots to fly against the 12 pilots of Praetorian. The result? Congratulations to Praetorian Squadron. With almost 3 times as many points as the Immortal, Praetorian continues to win themselves recognition. Thank you to RA Shadd for keeping me updated on these exciting competitions!

I am currently looking for a XvT Tactical Coordinator. You must hold XvT and BoP, and have some knowledge in mission edition. This is an auxiliary position, please send your application to Admiral Striker and Rear Admiral Samuel Shadd III. For more information on the TCC position, please review the Tactical Manual.

The Battlecry competition has started once again, with three new missions designed by yours truly. I would like to encourage everyone to fly the missions, as they are a great way to get individual participation. As a way of a reminder, the entire TIE Corps is invited to participate, not just the Battle-Group. Just to whet your whistle, the top medal you can get is a Silver Star! More details about the competition can be read at:

http://www.tiecorps.org/mb/view.asp?b=1&l=1&g=1&v=1&t=463&s=0

Everyone please remember the Jedi Convention, taking place in Cologne, Germany, on Easter next year. We already have about 20 EHers who will come to represent the EH there, but everyone else of those who cannot make it are asked to design graphics and think about the text we're going to print on the flyers we'll hand out. It's still some time to go, but the sooner we've got our flyers done, the better. Awards for the best graphics and texts will be given out as well.

Another issue of the TC Newsletter, Battlecry, has been released. It is now up to issue 7, and you can download it or view it online at http://battlecry.ehnet.org.

It has previews of upcoming SW games, submissions from members, a program for Access that manages competitions, and loads of funny IRC conversations!

The EH Poland meeting will be next summer. The meeting place has been chosen to be at Jonny's summer house, near city of Bialystok. For more information or participation confirmations contact Commander Marcin Szydlowski

I have considered the applications, and I have decided to appoint Major E. Tarkin of Avenger as the new host. He has been at nearly all the competitions I have run and shows great interest in the competition. He also knows how to host a competition, so that saves the time of needing to learn. Congratulations Major Tarkin!

Send any and all applications to Admiral Slage with the Subject: ROA Application.

I put a copy of my to-be EH domain report on the TC message board... it contains especially a listing of all submitted battles; please check it if you ever submitted a battle or mission to the Tactical Office.

With my promotion to Battlegroup Commander the position of ISD Relentless Commodore has been left open. Colonel Ricaud will remain as Wing Commander, so I have therefore decided to accept applications for the position. Please, only serious applications will be accepted. Requirements are listed below-

b.. TIE Corps Membership for at least five months.
c.. No outstanding or former HCI Cases.

The #TIECorps IRC bot SureFire is back online. The bot's memory is completely wiped including all !DICT definitions, !QUOTEs, ops lists, and user data. (I reconstructed the banlist, though.) You'll have to reintroduce yourself to the bot and set your own passwords and info lines again. If you're a WC, COM, or BGCOM and don't have ops on the bot yet, please e-mail me with your hostmask(s).

After reviewing many qualified applicants, I have appointed Vice Admiral Jarak as Tie Corps Battlegroup Commander. The party is on in #Tiecorps...

Recently Bart Klepka released one of his game music remixes for TIE Fighter in MP3 format. "Imperial Fighter (Reinforcement Mix)" has a rather mellow and smooth new age feel to it and it's worth checking out!

You can download the song and read more about it at: http://heechee.simplenet.com/bart/z_imperial.html. Explore around his site a bit and you'll find remixes of several other popular computer games.

Thanks to Lieutenant Mark Metallic for the news info!

TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance - If you have a ship or platform that needs be captured or boarded, have the boarding craft fly up to the target using the "Fly Loop" order then use a "Capture/Board" order. This is especially useful when the target is 2 or more klicks away. A boarding craft flying up to the target under the "Capture/Board" order will only move at a fraction of the max speed, even if you have the speed set at 100%.

If you need the craft to take a long time for the purpose of mission difficulty, increase the length of boarding time, not the distance for the boarding craft to reach its target.

The connectivity problems that the site was experiencing seem to have stopped. If you have problems in the future, please contact the Training Officer.

We of the SSSD Sovereign are pleased to present the last Combat Run, aka #14, for the SSSD Sovereign Squadron League 2K. Battle to fly is TIE-TC#156, EH Wrestling Extravaganza. Please download it from the Sovereign's Domain (http://www.websitefactory.de/loveboat) or from the TIE Corps domain.

Deadline is October 1st and laserless scoring is, of course, in effect. Submissions later than October 3rd won't be accepted. The Quarter Finals will start at October 08th! Good luck to all!

Final results for CR#12 will be announced next Sunday. Sorry for the delay... ;)

When LucasArts attempts to brainwash the masses into buying little overpriced Star Wars figures, soda cans with Episode One faces on it, and go as far to exploit every market starting with Obi-Wan Tampons, it drives good ordinary people insane.

The following film "When Senators Attack IV" was made from one such mental patient who managed to get to steal some A/V equipment.

You can view the film here: http://theforce.net/theater/animation/wsa4/index.shtml

TFN FanFilms released the music video "Wookie" (a parody of Limp Bizkit's "Nookie") created by the same group who made "Jabba on the Dais."

The video is 12mb big and can be seen at: http://www.theforce.net/theater/musicvideos/wookie/index.shtml

Several cases of cheating or suspect pilot files have already taken an undesired part of my time devoted to the Tactical Office. I remind you there is NO tolerance for any kind of cheating, and I will do my best to ensure maximum penalties are taken against cheaters. Below is an excerpt from High Admiral Paladin announcement on September 1st:

The following steps are put into effect to deal with what can only be referred to as an emergency situation.

1) To deal with the large volume of cheating (Article 407) cases, all cases will be heard by a special court consisting of the High Inquisitor or his designee and based on information provided by the Tactical Office. This court will not be bound by the restrictions on a Summary Court-martial and may impose any penalty up to and including expulsion as indicated below. Appeals of these cases will be directed immediately to the Fleet Commander for action. To emphasize, ONLY Article 407 complaints arising from falsified Pilot Files will be heard in this manner, and only for the duration of the current emergency.
2) Those convicted of cheating shall, upon the first offense, be stripped of rank, medals, and position and be reduced to the rank and position of cadet.
All their scores will be erased from the battle board, formerly awarded battle medals will be revoked, and such members will be banned from ever submitting a battle board score or holding a position in the FCHG again. Those convicted of a second offense will be banned from the fleet for life.

It appears that the primary international link that the ImperialAcademy.org domain uses has gone down. I'll be checking it out today to see what the story is and it will hopefully be online again soon.

The following battles have been updated for bug fixes thanks to Captain Wlodek :

• IW-XW Battle 25
• TC-TIE Battle 64

TFN FanFilms is going nuts with trailers lately and has a new one available online! This one isn't as nice as the others, but it's only a mere two megabytes big. "The Ultimate Battle" refers to the "lost footage" of Imperial Navy and Rebel Alliance taking on the United Federation of Planets and Klingon Empire.

You can view the trailer at: http://www.theforce.net/theater/comingsoon/swvstrek/index.shtml

The fleet would like to publicly recognize the following officers:

• High Admiral Astatine - Awarded the Order of the Renegade
• Vice Admiral AbsoluteK - Awarded the Imperial Cross
• Admiral Theodore - Awarded the Imperial Cross

More details can be found on the Emperor's Hammer News page.

As stated on the EH Domain, former Security Officer Fleet Admiral Rapier has been promoted to the rank of High Admiral. Former Tactical Officer High Admiral Kawolski has been promoted to the honorary rank of Sector Admiral.

Grand Admiral Ronin has updated the emperorshammer.org news page with the latest fleet news and reports.

The #TIECorps IRC bot SureFire mysteriously went offline Friday afternoon. I will have to check with my university on Monday afternoon about what happened to the bot. In the meantime, there's another bot active in the channel to hold his nick, but this bot will not respond to commands.

Tactical Officer Admiral Striker is looking for a pair of new Command Attachés to help him in his duties.

Duties of the first Command Attaché (CA:TAC1) will deal mainly with bug corrections of the already released battles and free missions, and may be expanded to any other technical-related subject. It will be essentially technical work and will require an extensive knowledge of mission creation in all official game-platforms.
Requirements for CA:TAC1 are:

• at least one continuous year of membership
• be able to answer mail within 24 hours or so
• no disciplinary actions pending or on record
• very good knowledge of mission creation/editing in TIE, XvT, XWA
• must hold all game platforms, and registered AlliED
• at least one recommendation from a senior officer (WC+)

Duties of the second Command Attaché (CA:TAC2) will be more administrative; filing BSFs for COs/CAs, helping with the update of the Tactical Manual, writing tutorials, eventually test some need programs etc. Duties are not fixed, this position would need a good sense of initiative. Requirements for CA:TAC2 are:

• at least one continuous year of membership
• be able to answer mail within 24 hours or so
• no disciplinary actions pending or on record
• some knowledge of mission creation/editing in TIE, XvT, XWA
• must hold all game platforms
• at least one recommendation from a senior officer (WC+)
• good knowledge of HTML (ASP as well is a plus)

No application will be taken from IRC, email your application at EH_Striker@mail.com with "CA:TAC Application" as subject. Be sure to include all the skills you have which may interest me, a short resume of your EH Career, why I should take you as CA, and any project/idea you may want to run as CA. Keep in mind I will receive several dozens of applications...
The Tactical Office carries heavy duties and these positions will be time-consuming, so please do not apply if you are only interested in a promotion to Vice-Admiral.

The bug that blocked the Battle Submission Form from certain officers that should be allowed access to it has been fixed.

Heavy pirate activity on the EH/RS border has been threatening trade traffic and making the sector unsafe for passage. The Emperor's Hammer has sent Wing II to protect the area and hunt down the pirates! Meanwhile, the Rebel Squadrons' Retribution Fleet has been stationed on the opposite side of the border! Looks like trouble waiting to happen....

September 15th is the official opening day of the Border Wars between Wing II and the RS Retribution fleet. The competition will last two months, and pilots will fly four original, customized missions. Further bulletins as events unfold. Glory to the Empire!

After hosting EuroLoC since the 22nd of April, I feel I have fulfilled all that I have wanted, in providing a competition for European pilots (and for those who get up early in the US :P). I would love to host the competition for longer, but RL constraints in school increasingly become worse, and my Saturday afternoons are more likely to be taken up. Due to this I am forced to pass the torch to someone else so to speak. So please email me at rgoatham@aol.com if you are interested (and possibly a short paragraph about why I should let you), I will, however, continue to host until I find somebody else to host.

The Team Emperor's Hammer Server is up and running with the new Counter-Strike Beta 7.1. The upgrade patch is a mere four megs and can be found at the Counter-Strike homepage.

7.1 comes with many fixes. Here are the important ones:

• de_vegas now works and has been added to the EH CS server map rotation
• Weapons are more accurate
• Better vehicle handling and a APC (with open back) to drive CTs into the Terrorist garage in cs_siege
• Death icon for headshots

Play it at: squadron.org:27015 or 207.210.171.77:27015

I would just like to inform all personnel that, with the permission of COO/AD Zsinj and COOA/GN Shups, I will now be the full time host of the two weekly XWA Comps, Kampfergemetzel and Zone Sunday. Both are held in the XWA Melees and Skirmishes Room on the Zone. I had noticed recently that the participation level of these two comps has
dropped a bit, meaning that some weeks it is strong and other weeks it is non-exsistant. I believe this to be due to the fact that there currently is no consistant full time hosting. I hope to see all of the old regulars come back and help bring these two comps back around. The exact dates, times and places for these comps, as well as all other multiplayer competitions can be found on the Competiton Calendar.

Grand Admiral Ronin has named Admiral Nightflyer to be the new Security Officer for the Emperor's Hammer.

With the resignation of AD Theodore, the position of TIE Corps Battlegroup Commander is now open. I am currently accepting applications for this position. A succesful applicant will have:

• At least one year's unbroken service in the Tie Corps;
• No disciplinary actions pending or on record;
• Experience as a CMDR... This means that at some point you must have held the position of CMDR. It doesn't mean that you must be a CMDR now.

You may include up to 5 recommendations in your application, but no more. I would also like to hear your ideas on where you see the BattleGroups heading in the future. Please get these applications in ASAP, as I would like to make an appointment next week. Please forward all aplications to myself, AD Sarriss AND AD Theo.

A new IWATS course written by yours truly is available at http://xam.tsx.org. It deals with XWA custom mission creation with either registered or evaluation version of ALliED. Pass the exam and become the first "XAM-certified" pilot !

This months WoW events on the zone are coming up. LoCs for each win. Please be sure you are registered. If you have any questions about the comp, please review the Combat Operations Officer site at http://zsinj.ehnet.org/COO/ Beyond this feel free to ask the COO Zsinj or COOA Shups. Here are the dates for the WoW games:

XVT WoW XXVII: 9-15 2pm thru 9-22 5am
and
XWA WoW XVII 9-22 2pm thru 9-29 2pm

All times are EST. Good luck and have some fun!

High Admiral Astatine has said in numerous TO reports that all competitions must be approved by the Training Office or medals cannot be awarded for the competition. In order to reinforce this, the medal recommendation form has been modified to include a "Competition ID #" field. This is the ID Number (which you can look up from the medal recommendation page) that you receive in the mail when your competition is approved. Any medals for competitions of any kind (except for those where medal awarding is handled by the COO and his staff) must include that ID # or the medal will be denied.

It seems yesterday's bug wasn't completely fixed. You can now reply to posts in tree view.

The news subscription system for the IWATS/TO site is finally up and running. This is a service where you sign up and you are automatically emailed any news updates that are posted on the ImperialAcademy.org site. You can also update your details (change email address, etc) or unsubscribe. To sign up, go to http://www.imperialacademy.org/subscribe/. If you have any problems, contact the Training Officer.

Sorry about that everyone.. I did a code change that accidentally locked up all the message boards for an hour preventing people from replying to messages! The bug has been fixed... sorry! <:)

TFN FanFilms featured yet another high-quality trailer of an upcoming two-hour fan film set to be released sometime in 2001 (according to the director) after three years in the making. The story takes place between Empire Strikes Back and Shadows of the Empire. It is 100% CGI (like Final Fantasy the Movie) and with high quality rendering! After seeing the trailer, you'll see what it has taken the makers of this film almost three years to make it!

You can view the 4mb trailer at: http://www.theforce.net/theater/comingsoon/shadaa/index.shtml

You can download the higher quality 45mb trailer here: http://www.szczecin.tpsa.pl/coolanimaniacs/trailer/trailer1.mov

The EH Internet Office has been updated with a brand new look, new layout, and new features!

Check it out: http://www.ehnet.org/

The following battles have been updated on the Battle Center by Admiral Striker for bug fixes:

• TC-TIE #141
• TC-TIE #142
• TC-TIE #149
• TC-TIE #150
• TC-TIE #155
• TC-TIE #161
• DB-TIE #8

• FREE-TIE #127
• FREE-TIE #128
• IW-XW #26

One year ago I became the Emperor's Hammer Tactical Officer and today I'm announcing my resignation which will be effective sometime this week after I tie up a few loose ends and clean out my mailbox of overdue stuff. My replacement, which has been approved by Grand Admiral Ronin and Sector Admiral Compton, is Admiral Striker. All of the Tactical Office related materials I've collected over time will be sent to him along with battles and missions being beta tested or are pending review, so there will be no need to resubmit them to Admiral Striker. I'm sure he'll announce in his first report all of the submissions that he has in his possession just so there is no confusion, mistakes, or lost submissions. I'll be staying on as Fleet Systems Engineer and continue to make improvements on tiecorps.org.

In case you haven't had the opportunity to meet Admiral Striker, he has been my Command Attaché during the entire time I served in this position and for part of the time under the previous Tactical Officer. He was the creator and coordinator for the very successful Project Phoenix. He's also the Infiltrator Wing's Tactical Officer, author of several battles and of an upcoming IWATS course for XWA mission designing, and he's quite knowledgeable in all aspects of the Tactical Office. He designed the system to help him and myself catch cheaters using the laserless system, so you rogue dishonest pilots out there better think twice before touching a pilot editor because he's better at catching cheaters than I am! He's extremely well-qualified for the position and I'm sure he will be an excellent Tactical Officer!

On a related topic, my second Command Attaché, Vice Admiral Slade, also resigned from his position.

It has been great serving as your TAC and I wish the very best to Admiral Striker and to the very talented members of the Tactical Staff who fix and play new battles every week so we could deliver new missions with as few bugs and problems as possible!

TFN FanFilms featured a trailer of an upcoming fan film set to be released sometime in the fall featuring many nicely done lightsaber duels by some talented swordsmen who all work for Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament in real life and are quite experienced in choreographing fights and handling weapons.

The film takes place 2000 years before the Battle of Yavin. This is one to look forward to! You can view the 10mb trailer at: http://www.theforce.net/theater/comingsoon/faith/index.shtml

Due to unforeseen and unavoidable real life problems, Fleet Admiral Rapier has announced his resignation as the Emperor's Hammer Security Officer, recommending his Command Attaché and Acting SO Admiral Nightflyer to take his place.

As written by Fleet Admiral Rapier:

As I said in my initial email about my emergency leave, if I felt that it was going to go on for too long I would resign my post as Security Officer... That time has come. For a Year and 10 months now I have been the Security Officer of the EH. And now, due to unforeseen and unavoidable real life problems I must resign that position. I do wish to stay on the roster in the reserves but I can no longer fulfill the duties of the Security Officer since my Internet time has been cut to almost nothing and I haven't even seen a copy of mIRC in a month. I'm sorry to all of you who counted on me to always be there but for a while longer I won't be. I will be back but I have no idea when.

Believe me I would never step down from my post if it were not for the gravest of problems because I love this club and have done everything in my power to make it a better place for all. I really hate saying see ya later at this point but I have too.

Since I am a CS officer in good standing at the time of my resignation I would like to see AD Nightflyer elevated from SEC/CA:SO to the position of SO which he has so excellently been filling for the last month during my absence. I would also like to see him elevated to the rank of Fleet Admiral and awarded the GoE for his excellent work both as my assistant and as the Security Enforcement commissioner during the last 9 months. His dedication and loyalty to the empire should be an example to all officers.

Thank you all for your time and for a wonderful 3 years as an active EH member.

OK... the COO Site is mostly finished for the moment with most of the information that's going to be on it and is at http://zsinj.ehnet.org/COO/. Also If you want to submit comp ideas or competition scores send them to zsinj2k@yahoo.com so my @home mail box isn't flooded.

That's right folks, the Sovereign Medical Bay Website is completed (mostly) and is up! If you want to check it out, go to http://sovmed.ehnet.org/.

The roster isn't done, so SovMed Docs and Nurses PLEASE forward your info to my NEW mail address at streng@mail.com. See you in the bacta!

Sector Admiral Compton has made his decision for which ship gets the Fleet Commander's Own banner.

And the congratulations go to.....the Imperial Star Destroyer Colossus

This event also marks a milestone as the first time in the history of the Emperor's Hammer (that I know of anyway) the FC's Own was not awarded to the current flagship of the Emperor's Hammer.

I hate Jar-Jar.

I'm sorry but I am unable to attend the comp to host this weekend. My school has a special service on this Saturday. It will resume as normal next weekend.

Hi, thanks to HA Kawolski, the Naval Staff Course (required of all NC SLs for promotion to LT) has been updated! ALL can take it, however, but it is only a requirement for NC SL-->LT promotions.

The test can be found here.

I would like to release my ATR program version 2. I have fixed some of the bugs that where in the first version. The new FCHG ranks have been added, also I have added a MSE generator, so that by the click of a button your MSE is generated for you.

Currently there are 2 downloads the first on is just the program, if you have used the first version or other Visual basic programs before download this file. It is only 89k and can be found here http://atr.ehnet.org/ATRv2_MIN.zip

The second download is 2.4 megs, it includes an install program that will put all the files you need to run the program into your Hard Drive. Download it if you have not run the First program or and Visual Basic programs. You can download it here http://atr.ehnet.org/ATRv2_Full.zip [which doesn't work for me and gives weird illegible installation errors - HA Kawolski].

I am aware of some bugs that are still to be worked out in later versions. If have any comments, questions or suggestion please email at brakka@stardestroyer.org.

After winning the ECR, the ISD Immortal invites all Tie Corps pilots to come to their Victory Celebration Bash.

Multiplayer matches will be held for the first three, and TIE will be a head to head challenge with each pilot agreeing to a free mission and time frame where the highest score wins. I will also release a FREE-XWA mission at the beginning of the day and the highest scoring pilot file I receive by the end of the comp is the winner..

Awards are as follows:
Overall champ (total of all category wins) : BS
Category winners (XWA MP, XWA SP, XvT, JK, TIE) : PC
Individual pilot wins : LoCs

Date : Friday, September 8, from 9am PST (12pm EST) - 5pm PST (8pm EST)

Grand Admiral Ronin has updated the emperorshammer.org news page with the latest fleet news and reports.

The IO hosting service is up again. Sorry for any inconveniences.

I received the final results for the Squadron League 2000's 11th Combat Run today from General Wolly. It's no surprise to anyone who has been keeping up with the recent scores. Again it was Sigma Squadron, The Rat Pack, and Tornado Squadron occupying the first 3 places.

Sigma Squadron: 15,753,183 points
The Rat Pack: 10,874,831 points
Tornado Squadron: 9,505,006 points

Congratulations to all three squadrons... we look forward to seeing how this rivalry ends! For the rest of the scores submitted, check out the official results posted on the Sovereign's War Room webpage.

Also released today was Combat Run #13. TC-TIE #78, The Verpine Encounter (Part II) was chosen... it's the sequel to the battle chosen for CR#11. It can be downloaded either at the Battle Compendium or here. CR#13 is the next-to-last combat run before finals so get out there and get flying!

Today I received some scores from Rear Admiral Weasel that I was anticipating... the recent competition held between Praetorian and Omega squadrons ended last night. It was based on the average score for the top 6 scorers from each squadron. What were the final results? Congratulations to Praetorian Squadron who won by a very small margin of about 3,400 points.

Praetorian Squadron: 36,619
