Fellow Sith,

It gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of  Sith Warrior Crsepe as the new Consul of Clan Drakonan.  Crsepe has been very active in all frosts of Dark Brotherhood activity, including EH Gaming Nights, The Old Republic, and fiction endeavors.  He has served in many different EH groups and has a distinguished career. After talking with him I realize he also has some great ideas and is the person to lead Clan Drakonan into the future.

I’ll leave further introductions  and announcements to him. Everyone please join me in congratulating Crsepe on his new position and thanking him for stepping forward to assume this responsibility.

Darkness Defend,

Pilots,

This phase of the Karana Initiative is an XWA battle, the file is attached to the mail sent out on the group list.  This has been tested by the TAC and found to be bug free, however if any technical issues arise they should be reported to her immediately.  This battle will be added to the compendium in a few hours, in plenty of time for CMDRs to BSF your submissions.  To ensure full and accurate records, all BSF e-mails should be copied to myself and the TCCOM, we don't want to miss anyone!

Submission deadline is in 14 days, ending at 2359Z (GMT) on 27th May 2013.

Top 3 scorers for the battle overall will receive an IS-GR/SR/BR respectively.

At the closing of the comp the pilot holding any of the mission high scores will be awarded an IS-BR, if they hold two this will be an IS-SR, if three or more an IS-GR

The squadron with greatest participation will be named TCCOM's Escort Squadron until the next battle of Phase 2, all pilots within that squadron who flew will receive an additional IS-BR.  Participation will be assessed simply on number of pilots, not as any percentage or similar measure.  This is to keep things simple and will not favour a specific squadron.

With that said, any questions should be addressed to the group mailing list.  Pilots to your fighters!

Hello Fellow Sith, 

Last ngiht we completed the 25th EHGN by playing 12 rounds of Star 
Conflict, GM Montte, Maj Gyssler, SK Crsepe and myself teamed up for for 
flight action. Thats saw us win more battles then not. It seems as a 
unified EH group we can accomplish great things and dominate the skies! 

Anyway for the first time in EHGN a member of the TC wins big 

MAJ Gyssler won the night with the highest score earned himself a 
Distinguished Flying Cross and 5 Legions of Combat (the TC versions of 
the KS and CF respectively). Great flying Gyssler!!!! 
While I took 5 Clusters of Fires home 
GM Montte got 2 Clusters of Fire 
SK Crsepe took home 1 Cluster of Fire. 

As of now the Medal Count Stands at (NOTE: Medal count is only for 
medals earned during the EHGN's Some older members (i.e. DSM Scoser) 
have many more of these medals to their credit and this is not to 
diminish their entire career's worth of achievements but to only 
highlight recent activities). 

193 Cluster of Fires Kaiburr Star 
DSM Scoser 39 GRD Gio Palermo 8 
SWL Starkillerny 36 DA Tuba 5 
DA Tuba 35 DSM Scoser 4 
GRD Gio Palermo 32 SWL Starkillerny 4 
GM Montte 27 GM Montte 2 
Maj Gyssler 9 JH Talon Jade 1 
LCM Kyle Kroan 8 MAJ Gyssler 1 
SW Crsepe 6 
JH Talon Jade 1

The first week of Dempsey's Movie Screenshots comes to an end. A lot of answers were submitted, and apparantly most pilots here are familiar with a lot of the movies that I picked.

Week 1 ends with victories for John T Clark and Mickk Emrys who have 1st and 2nd place with only 1 out of 25 incorrect! The only way to pick a winner was to go by who got to 24 first... Grats boys, and it'll be interesting to see what develops next week!

April has finished, and thus ends another chapter in the 2013 edition of the Ace of the TIE Corps competition. Congrats to the winners: HA Dempsey, MAJ Elwood the Brave and LCM Kyle Kroan. Medals are on their way!

As many of you know we have four weekly EH Gaming Nights.  The one on Sunday is where we have special events like Member’s Choice night, a try out of a game to work out scoring mechanics, or a night where I can have a special event. In honor of May the 4th I’ll be sponsoring the Grand Master’s Games this Sunday May 5th.

What is it? Well, on Sunday at our normal time of 8:30 PM we will be playing Team Fortress 2.  That’s normal you say? We do it all the time on Tuesday you say?  Well here’s the difference:  We will play normally and medals will be awarded for each round and a Kaiburr Star for the night. You’ll get equivalent medals if you’re a TC member of course. The format will be 2 matches of Man vs Machine, then Two Matches of Multiplayer.  Then, after that we’ll open up to member preference on either mode. If you played those first four matches though you'll be put into a drawing for one of several prizes we have for coming out and celebrting the 4th with us. We have copies of Bioshock, Killing Floor, Empire at War Gold, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Knights of the Old Republic, and Civilization V up for grabs.

Now after those initial four, if you are an EH member (already on the roster by 8:30 PM May 5th) then your name will be placed into a pool for each two match set you played. I’ll randomly select names from the eligible entries and award the prizes as soon as I can, that night if possible.That means if you show up and play just the first four you’ll get two entries toward winning one of the prizes! Plus you can stick around and earn even more medals afterwards and find out why you should be showing up on Tuesday nights to play Team Fortress 2 with Talon Jade, our Battleteam Leader for that game!

Happy Star Wars holiday everyone and “May the 4th be with you!”

Darkness Defend,

Darth Beskad

Fellow Sith, 

    Due to personal scheduling conflicts and just a general lack of time. has caused a small back log in reporting the results of the last few EHGN's. So I'm here to rectify that by giving you a mega update on EH's Gaming Night's 21, 22 and 23. For EHGN #21 We played 6 rounds of Killing Floor on thursday night with GM Montte, DSM Scoser, SWL Starkillerny, SW Crsespe, GRD Gio and APP Cerberus. AS for one of our more popular new games these events always have some fierce competition. 

DSM Scoser was the big winner here with the Kaiburr Star and 5 Clusters of Fire
GM Montte took home 1 CF

EHGN #22 was another HUGE night even though the event was schedule for a later start GM Montte, DA Tuba, SWL Starkillerny, SW Crsepe and Special Guest LCM Kroan of the Tie Corps joined in for 21 Rounds of Star Conflict. It was amazing night with the EH Corp hitting Rank #69 on the PVP Ratings (see print screen) list our best ever to date!

In this Event SWL Strakillerny took home the big prize of the Kaiburr Star and 6 Clusters of Fire
LCM Kroan earned himself 8 Clusters of Fire (actually he will get the Tie Corps equivalent) 
DA Tuba and SW Crsepe both got 3 Clusters of Fires Each
and GM Montte took home 1 Cluster of Fire.

EHGN #23 was another member's choice night. In which DA Scoser, SWL Starkillerny, GRD Gio and special Guest Topace31 (AKA Deadeye from TOR) voted to play Team Fortress 2. We played 6 rounds last night and winning all but one round of Mann vs Machine. It was yet another good noght of teamwork and fun. 

But in the end 

SWL Starkillerny took Home the Kaiburr Star and 5 Clusters of Fire
and DA Scoser took home 1 CF preventing my first complete sweep in TF2 (next time i'll grab that screenshoot before we are forced off the server!

Anyway it has been a great weekend of gaming and fun. With 3 Kaiburr Stars and 33 Clusters of Fires handed out!!!!! 

I want to thank LCM Kroan and Deadeye for coming out and i hope to see you two again as well!!! Of course i'ld love to keep mentioning and hoping awarding new players with brand new medals every time we have a game night! 

Next Up is another Team Fortress 2 night tomorrow at 8pm EST hope to see you there!

Greetings

This past Sunday we ran a Member Choice night where YOU the members picked the game 

we played for our game night.

Killing Floor was the game that was selected and Scoser, Cerberus, Montte, Tuba and Myself 

played 6 rounds of pure Zombie slaying fun!

Killing floor is definitely a very popular game with the membership,but as always if you have 

an idea for a new game or scheduling ideas please in fact I implore you to let us know. these 

events can and will get better with more feedback from you!

As for the Awards for the night:

Scoser yet again gets another Kaiburr Star and 4 Clusters of fires to add to his impressive career 

total.

While GM Montte and Myself take home 1 CF each thereby preventing Scoser from getting 

another sweep in another gaming night.

Until next time
Stay Sithy!

And again there's a new battle being released, this time for the X-wing vs TIE Fighter platform. It was intended as an introduction for two new patches the SCO created, but that was ages ago. Still, it's nice to see the Venator Star Destroyer in action.... Try out XvT TC 142: The Venator !
