Congratulations, LT AgetianMaywind!
Come one, come all. The 2026 TIE Golf Invitational has now begun. This year we will be having 3 consecutive rounds of TIE Fighter, followed by three rounds of X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, and finishing with three rounds of X-Wing Alliance. All missions will be without patches, just encase you have trouble installing them.
Prizes will be awarded weekly for the lowest scoring pilots as well as prizes for the best pilots at each platform and the overall winners.
Come see just how low you can score, just remember no cheats allowed and your score must be positive.
From Training Officer AD Tiran Marr:
After four years of honorable service to the Training Office and the Emperor’s Hammer, General Triji Boliv is stepping down from his longtime role as a Training Office Assistant (TOA). Since joining the Emperor’s Hammer Training Office in September of 2022, General Boliv has consistently displayed an extraordinarily high level of work ethic and dedication to the Office, far beyond what is both expected of him and outlined in his responsibilities as a Training Office Assistant. His leadership among the TOAs and Professors has been foundational to many of the successes the Office has seen over the past four years. He has been a motivator for those wishing to expand the Imperial University with new content creation, he has been a consistent team-player during each Raise the Flag annual competition with helping grade the plethora of exams coming in and has solidified what it means to be an example of a leader within the Emperor’s Hammer.
In honor of his four years of service within the Training Office, I am pleased to award him with the Gold Star of the Empire. Thank you for your service, Triji. It was a pleasure to have you among our team, and we wish you the very best!
Congratulations, GN Triji Boliv!
Pilots of the TIE Corps,
It gives me great pleasure to wrap-up Raise the Flag 2026!
Across the month of September we had over 100 pilots take part in the competition, be it flying, drawing, creating memes, writing fiction and of course grading and clearing the submissions. It was a fantastic degree of participation and I hope that all of you who took part enjoyed the competition! I'm pleased do say the judging is done, the scores calculated and we're ready for that podium!
Before I pull in General Frown with the results, please allow me to thank a number of folk without whom the competition would not be possible...
- Firstly HA Pickled Yoda for once again hosting and running our scoring system, without this a lot of the competition would not be possible.
- SA Kamjin Lap'lamiz for setting the fictional wrapper for us.
- The Combat Office for their work on clearing match submission queues
- The Training Office for their work on grading the ever growing influx of IU courses!
- The Judges for their work on grading memes, art and fiction
- And finally, the pilots of the TIE Corps who make this such downright fun!
So without further ado...
From the office of General Frown

From Tempest Squadron CMDR GN Silwar Naiilo:
LT Mireth Vaal joined Tempest Squadron this summer, and has been a valuable pilot ever since. She has taken part in numerous competitions, submitted fiction and memes, and pushed for our performance in both ReMob and Raise the Flag. She has also completed TIE Corps Core with a passing grade and is thus eligible for promotion to Lieutenant Commander.
Congratulations, LCM Mireth Vaal!
"Who the heck is taking Sylas' spot?!"
Well, for those who may not know me (mostly those outside of Battlegroup II), I would like to take a brief moment to share a little bit about myself for anyone who has asked the question above.
Firstly, both for myself and for all of our members, I would like to thank my predecessor for all they have done to make the Training Office what it is today. High Admiral Sylas Pitt, you have served honorably during your time as the TO. Your efforts in improving the quality of life of the Office, the Imperial University, and our members have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for your service, and enjoy your well earned retirement!
Most recently, I have served for the past fourteen months as the Command Attaché within the Training Office. I am an active member of both subgroups, with my TIE Corps career having started in the legendary Rho Squadron. In Rho, I served under Westric Davalorn as both a FM and an FL. I then transferred to serve under Vapen Vanman in Theta Squadron where I had the honor of serving as his SQXO. For the past two years (almost) I have had the honor of leading Theta Squadron as her Commander.
Within the Secret Order, I am currently the Praetor to Quaestor Jai Thorne within the newly formed House Nihilus. I also serve as a Magistrate to the Master-at-Arms, Preceptor Taurus.
On the personal side, I am a military veteran who served in the Global War on Terrorism within the US Army. I have an active career in law enforcement and have served as a police officer in both the federal government and now for my local department stateside. I am an avid Star Wars and Star Trek fan, with science fiction having been a large part of my life. Above all of that, I am an Emperor's Hammer fan, and am dedicated to help improve the club however I can, for however long the Fleet Commander will have me.
As I take over operations at the Training Office, I encourage all of you to reach out for your support and feedback. Only together, can we lead the TO and the University into tomorrow and beyond.
Please also take a moment to look over the following feedback request form. Filling this out will help us address potential issues or ideas the community may have. Training Office Feedback Form
Thank you all for your trust in me and I am looking forward to working alongside all of you as your new Training Officer!
Respectfully,
TO/AD Tiran Marr/CS-4/TFC Consul
Today is a sad day. High Admiral Sylas Pitt is stepping down as Training officer of the Emperor's Hammer. For his loyalty, work ethic and the general pleasure of having him as Training officer I am awarding him the Medal of Honor.
In his place, with big shoes to fill, Vice Admiral Tiran Marr is stepping up to take over the Training Office and all that entails. To reflect this change in position I am immediately promoting him to the rank of Admiral and I look forward to seeing what he does with the position.
Wish both of them the best of luck in whatever happens next

Coming in hot off the heels of the greatest event in the Emperor's Hammer, the RtF, Spear has made some changes to it's lineup. LCM Cyan Vytuia joined Spear Squadron and immediately shown interest in the SQXO position. He certainly had a knack for it and took his responsibilities very seriously. I appreciate the work he has done for the squadron and his contributions. At his request, he is stepping down as SQXO as his priorities have shifted.
To take his place, LCM Et'sen Kryze has answered the call. We look forward to working with you and what you can bring to the table with enthusiasm!
Pilots of the TIE Corps,
It gives me great pleasure to announce that Raise the Flag 2026 has come to a close!
It’s been a fantastic month of art, memes, flying, studying, gaming with friends and story writing. It’s been amazing to see all the submissions and activity around the club and I’ll ask you all to hang tight with the judges for one last time as we rattle through the final fiction grading.
Once that has been completed I’ll launch into the final debrief and role out General Frown for the last time this year!
In the mean time, thank you all for your efforts :)

Congratulations, LT Jaxson Vandar!
Theta Squadron's own, CM Samuel Smith, has been selected to serve as the newest Squadron Executive Officer of Theta Squadron! Commander Smith is rapidly approaching his two-year anniversary of club membership and brings a fresh perspective to the leadership team. He has graciously accepted the position and is eager to get to work.
Cheers to Commander Samuel Smith! To the bitter end!
I know most of you are deep in the grind for Raise the Flag, but didn't want to forget to post this questionnaire for how the Tactical Office is doing.
I'll leave the form open until the end of October encase any feel they need to wait until after RtF to give it their attention.
