I'd like to say an official welcome back to COL Coranel Both and CM Xavier Siener, who have returned to active duty this week. An excellent choice, if I do say so myself.

Also - welcome to SL Sharu. Always nice to see new blood in the Corps!

This week ISD Hammer pilots were surprised by the inquiry into LC Clark. According to our sources, they even started a petition through the holo news web, calling for reduction of his sentence!

EH officials are surprised some people drew the conclusion Clark was smuggling Ewoks, and have stated this is not the case. "If this were true," a spokesperson said, "cleaning out latrines with a toothbrush would not have been an appropriate punishment."

If you want to know the inside scoop on this, Imperial bookstores are now selling a book titled Mutiny on the Hammer, written by this reporter. It is available for 299 credits.

LC John T. Clark/DELTA hereby releases the following statement in regard to recent INN reporting:
I have had no hand in any activity regarding the illegal transport and/or sale of any sentient mammals to, from or on the ISDII Hammer.
Any disciplinary action taken against me is a pure show of force by the Command Staff as the real culprits have not been identified.
--- signed: LC Clark

An official inquiry into LC Clark's crashing his TIE Phantom in the Hammer's hangar bay has resulted in the most likely cause of the incident. Witnesses claim pieces of Ewok-fur were retrieved from the TIE systems. How they got there is unknown, but there are rumours of a black market scheme that sells Ewok fur because it has certain enlightning properties. LC Clark was unavailable for comment.

ITIC (Imperial TIE Insurance Company) has this morning sent messages to all Imperial TIE pilots that they are going to raise insurance premiums on the TIE fighters. All TC pilots can expext their premiums to go up by 15% or more.

ITIC claims that in light of a recent accident involving a TIE Phantom, they have no alternative but to raise premiums if they want to maintain their profits.

This morning, LC John T. Clark of Delta Squadron was sentenced by the SOO to clean the latrines on the ISD Hammer with his toothbrush.

When asked on the reasons for this punishment, AD Pellaeon declared the punishment was appropriate, because LC Clark had scratched the paintwork on his TIE Phantom while crashlanding in the Hammer's main hangarbay due to mechanical problem with the fighter's propulsion system.

No appeal to the sentencing is possible.

Yesterday, I was HELD WITHOUT PROBABLE JUSTIFICATION by the staff of the ISD Hammer. Or so I believe anyway. It seems they did not want me to report on the change of command in Alpha squadron before the official announcement by the COM.

This of course is in violation of all that is decent. The people have a right to know!

I will voice my complaints to the Fleet Commander and demand he take action!

You have not heard the last of this!

Today, LCM Archenksov was appoint the new Alpha Squadron Commander after the resignation of LC Iceman. Good luck in the new job, CM Archenksov!

Today, three Warriors earned rank promotions:

	LT Sparky of Kappa Squadron was promoted to Lieutenant Commander!
	CM Len Eode, Commander of Sigma Squadron, was promoted to Captain!
	MAJ Repulsor, Commander of Kappa Squadron, was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel!

Congratulations! Drinks are on these three fine officers... but most of them on Repulsor!

According to classified documents that were sent to INN yesterday, the outbreak of food poisoning on the ISD Warrior is only a story. There is no food poisoning on the Warrior.

Our reporter wonders then why the ISD Warrior is still under quarantine. What are they not telling us.

We have a right to know!

The Warrior's chief medical officer has quarantined the ship due to an as yet unexplained outbreak of food poisoning.

In a communication to INN, CPT Hawkins announced his Ewok barbeque last night went great.

When he was asked by our reporter, he stated there was no chance the two events are related.

Sources aboard the ISD Hammer have disclosed to INN reporters that a family of Ewoks is loose on the ship. Where they come from no one knows, but it seems the Hammer COM has issued a reward for every dead ewok brought to her. If you're short on credits, now is your chance!

Our correspondent on the Pyrath Naval Base reports merchants passing through that are reporting Star Destroyers bearing Rebel sigils in that sector.

The TC Admirals have refused to comment on these tidings. INN can only guess, but we advise all to stock up on non perishable supplies!

After being passed over for the Commodore spot aboard the Warrior, COL Frown has now also been set aside for the position of Sin Squadron Commander.

An insider aboard the Warrior claims COL Frown is more than just a little upset with this, and has threatened to get himself reassigned to the ISD Challenge.

Our source claims the TC CS is frantically looking for ways to keep him aboard the Warrior.

More news as we get it!

LC Wraith has been selected as the new Commander of Sin Squadron!

Wraith previously served as one of the squadron's two Flight Leaders, earning a reputation for being an outstanding pilot and a great example to the Flight Members assigned to him. We have full confidence that Wraith will lead the squadron well and continue Sin's winning record. Good luck, CMDR!

The Medals of Communication for July were awarded. Congratulations to all recipients.

The TCCOM has appointed LC Plif as the new Commodore of the ISD Warrior, promoting him to the rank of Vice Admiral.

Anonymous sources aboard the Warrior have shared with INN their fears of how the dreaded COL Frown is going to respond to this.

According to one Warrior member, no one aboard the TC's flagship is now safe from his wrath!

We will keep you informed!

Congratulations are in order for MAJ Ulrich Drachen and CM Spiffy the Chicken on their promotions. Well done!

As all of you should have heard by now, the Commodore of the ISD II Warrior resigned from his position and requested his transfer to the RSV.

His shuttle to the Phoenix departed a couple of hours ago. But I am sure there is still something he will have to come back for pretty soon, before he can have his well deserved rest on the Phoenix.

I fear though that he won't be on her helm. That's a job that is in the hands of another HA for a couple of months now.

As HA Frodo March left the helm of the ISD II Warrior, he also left a note with the name of an officer he'd like to see as his successor. I am glad to announce that the SOO and I had the same officer in mind.

The new Commodore of the ISD II Warrior is Vice Admiral Plif. I am sure he'll do a great job. His first task as COM will now be to find a fitting replacement for his CMDR spot.

TCCOM/FA Elwood the Brave/TC-1/ISD II Challenge

High Admiral Frodo March is one of the few officers that will for ever be connected to the success of the recomissioned ISD II Warrior. From day one of his fine ship he was the driving force behind its growth. He lead his crew with a strong and experienced hand. He always had an advice for everyone that needed help and was always there when his input and his years of leadership experience could make a difference.

For all his energy, time and efforts he put into the creation, growth and forthcoming of HIS crew, I am proud to award High Admiral Frodo March another Grand Order of the Emperor.

In his Warrior COM report of August 16, HA Frodo March has announced his resignation as Warrior COM.

However, as he has not yet been reassigned, we are treating this as an unbsubstantiated rumor.

We also fear trouble aboard the M/FRG Phoenix after HA Daniel Bonini redecorated March' former quarters aboard the old-pilots-home.

Rumor has it, HA Frodo will be reassigned to the broomcloset on deck 11B aboard the Phoenix. Stay tuned!
