From MAJ Genie, CMDR of Lambda Squadron: Wookiee wasted no time in becoming an integral part of both Lambda and the Emperor's Hammer itself. His humor is as deadly as his flying, with two merit awards under his belt and a ton of combat wins. He is steadily mastering the ways of the Emperor's Hammer, as he delves deeper into it. Congratulations, LCM DemWookieeCheeks! |
LC Alejandro Araujo recently completed his eighth four-month tour of duty as Alpha CMDR. MAJ EvilGrin of Inferno Squadron and COL Silwar Naiilo of Tempest Squadron recently completed their second four-month tours of duty in their roles. All three have been awarded the Bronze Star of the Empire for their continued service. Thank you for all you do! |
For completing his INPR, SL Astrocat of Beta Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant. Congratulations, LT Astrocat! |
From COL Silwar Naiilo, CMDR of Tempest Squadron: Over the last two months, LT Coldsnacks has shown exceptional skill as a pilot, initiative in helping the squadron train for anti-capital strikes, and flown in over 200 missions. His contribution to Squadron ReMobilization helped Tempest earn one of the top spots, and for his dedication to the fleet, I recommend his promotion to Lieutenant Commander. Congratulations, LCM Coldsnacks! |
For completing his INPR, SL J Jonah Jameson of Beta Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant. Congratulations, LT J Jonah Jameson! |
From MAJ EvilGrin, CMDR of Inferno Squadron: LT Cody Lance has been a bright flame within Inferno Squadron since joining us. He performs his role as a member of our special forces unit with great enthusiasm, determination and skill. Long may it continue! It is my great honour and privilege to promote him to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Congratulations, LCM Cody Lance! |
From MAJ EvilGrin, CMDR of Inferno Squadron: LT Dougal Ceallaigh is a stalwart of Inferno Squadron. When ordered to battle, he picks up the flame and performs his duty as an exceptional and exemplary pilot. It is my great honour and privilege to promote him to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Congratulations, LCM Dougal Ceallaigh! |
Congratulations to RA Zekk Terrik and COL Stryker for taking the top two spots in Week Twelve!

From COL Stryker, CMDR of Firebird Squadron: What can I say about Travis? He has been my right arm since Firebird opened, offering opinions and critiques when necessary and keeping me on-track when my enthusiasm has wavered. A more solid and reliable Squadron XO could not be found anywhere else in the TIE Corps, and for that he has earned a promotion to Captain. Congratulations, CPT TI-40026! |
From MAJ Robert Hogan, CMDR of Sin Squadron: LCM SkyShadow has been a member of Sin Squadron for 3 months and has maintained a high and consistent level of activity. He is often present on the Squadron Discord channels, and has shown great initiative in his work. His work on TIE Corps Tailoring Tool 3 (TTT3) has been a huge asset to both the Squadron and the Fleet, and his contributions during Squadron ReMobilization were critical to Sin’s success. It is with great pleasure and honor that I recommend LCM SkyShadow for promotion to the rank of full Commander. Congratulations, CM SkyShadow! |
From MAJ Robert Hogan, CMDR of Sin Squadron: LT Kazraran, despite only being a member of the TIE Corps for 2 months, has demonstrated a great affinity for flight operations and has consistently shown high levels of activity. His contributions in Squadron ReMobilization 3 were critical in Sin’s completion of single player flight goals, and he sets a high bar for activity, rivaling many Squadron veterans. It is with great pleasure and honor that I recommend LT Kazraran for promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Congratulations, LCM Kazraran! |
From LC Pete Mitchell, CMDR of Theta Squadron: As a LCM, FL, and XO, Wodi Untok has been consistently active, instrumental in Theta's Squadron (Re)Mobilization effort, and communicative. He was an asset on Theta's Chaquila Cup Team, and just has a very positive attitude about everything. Theta is lucky to have him and he more than deserves this Promotion to Commander! Congratulations, CM Wodi Untok! |
For earning his first two Legions of Combat, SL Hijacker of Firebird Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant. Congratulations, LT Hijacker! |
From COL Stryker, CMDR of Firebird Squadron: Turel remains one of my most solid and reliable pilots, and is now one of the few original Firebirds remaining. Since joining the Squadron, and especially since becoming Flight Leader, he has been a model for the other pilots - remaining as active as his schedule allows and competing in competitions. For this, he has earned his promotion to Commander. Congratulations, CM Turel! |
From RA Zekk Terrik, Commodore of the ISDII Warrior: Back in March I quite literally spent hours agonizing between two great candidates over who to pick as Kappa CMDR. I went with my gut and picked Aardvark, and I am glad I did! Congratulations, CPT Aardvark! |
Congratulations to COL Stryker and LCM Wodi Untok for taking the top two spots in Week Eleven!

During his second four-month tour of duty as Lambda CMDR, MAJ Genie's crafted a strong team that's taken on the entire TIE Corps and won in Squadron (Re)Mobilization and is poised to be a top competitor in future events. For his service to Lambda, the ISDII Hammer, and the TIE Corps, I'm proud to present MAJ Genie the Bronze Star of the Empire. Excellent work! |
From MAJ Genie, CMDR of Lambda Squadron: Lieutenant Solohan is an exemplary pilot, who wears the Lambda Squadron banner with pride. He is a valuable member of our squad and he has shown his value in the recent Squadron Remobilization and other squadron competitions, such as the TCIB. His only... shortcoming (pun intended) is that he cant handle his booze. But then again nobody's perfect, especially Ewoks. Congratulations, LCM Solohan50! |
Having held the rank of Admiral in the TIE Corps for well over three years now, AD Miles Prower has been operating in high-visibility assignments and doing a lot of good for the Corps. In particular, the Combat Operations Office continues to manage the torrent of multiplayer screenshots from a growing TIE Corps that might be the most active it’s been in online combat in many years. For his service to the TIE Corps and the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet, I’m pleased to present AD Prower with a shiny new rank badge. Congratulations, FA Miles Prower! |
Congratulations to MAJ Robert Hogan and GN Pickled Yoda for taking the top two spots in Week Ten!

That's two episodes this week! The TIE Pilot's Podcast Episode 9 is now ready for your ears!
Our last few episodes we've done nothing but interview old farts like SA Kamjin 'Maverick' Lap'lamiz. We're tired of you guys! So instead GN Doyon and I sat down with the new guy, LCM fr0Zen, and got his perspective on what he finds so welcome about the Corps! You can find our special Mother's Day episode here!
Doyon and I are planning Episode 10 in secret...the plans are currently classified. Keep an eye on the Discord, it is possible that YOU may be on the show. Who knows when it could happen??
Last week the Fleet Commander authorised the updated EH Code of Conduct - the 2021 version is now live and can be accessed at the link in the 'EH Rules & Regulations' section. All members are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with it!
In a year of service as the Strategic Operations Officer of the TIE Corps and about half a year before that as its Combat Operations Officer, VA John T. Clark has been doing a lot of the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the TIE Corps moving forward every month. Both positions are key parts of our recognition processes that make sure our pilots are celebrated for their achievements, a critical component of an organization like ours. His contributions to the club as a Vice Admiral have shown me and the Fleet Commander that he’s ready to take on the higher expectations we have of a full Admiral in the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet. Congratulations, AD John T. Clark! |
For completing two IU courses, SL Sylas Pitt of Firebird Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant. Congratulations, LT Sylas Pitt! |

Other interesting stats:
Congratulations to all winners! The full results and pilot stats can be viewed here.
From RA Zekk Terrik, Commodore of the ISDII Warrior: Ace has been a CPT now for two months, and it is past due time for his promotion to Major. Ace has had to learn to be a CMDR the hard way, with very little help other than an equally confused COM to show him the way. Despite all that, he is continuing to do great work. Regularly communicative and engaging, and doing everything in his power to lift Rho up. I truly appreciate his efforts! Congratulations, MAJ acetiepilot! |
From RA Zekk Terrik, Commodore of the ISDII Warrior: I cannot recommend this promotion for Robert fast enough. He has served 4 months as CMDR of Sin Squadron, and it's clear I picked the right person. Rob is one of those people that never needed any engagement or communication, he just stepped right up and did what great TIE pilots do - lead. I appreciate Rob's great work with Sin, and I know the rest of the admiralty does too. Congratulations, MAJ Robert Hogan! |

May assignments:
May the 4th is coming up and there are some great sales on Star Wars games. To help encourage folks to play some of the older games and in case we have anyone out there that would purchase them but doesn’t have that kind of expendable income right now, CPT Witcher and COL Silwar Naiilo have put together a giveaway! If you don’t own a copy of TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, or X-Wing Alliance, head over to https://forms.office.com/r/XJQApy0c5v to enter your name for the drawing. Keep in mind that these are PC-only and best experienced with a joystick or other game controller, though the required system specs are pretty low by today’s standards. (Must be a current Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps member, Active or Reserves, in good standing to enter.)
Congratulations to COL Stryker and CPT Robert Hogan for taking the top two spots in Week Nine!

The Internet Office TTT3 Team is pleased to release the TIE Corps Tailoring Tool 3! TTT3 is the next-generation utility for generating Emperor's Hammer and TIE Corps dress and duty uniforms, as well as pilot helmets.
TTT3 supports live updates from the Emperor's Hammer database. When you launch the application, it will retrieve the current fleet structure, uniform parameters, and unit (squadron) patches and cache this information locally.
Special thanks to the following members that assisted in the development of TTT3:
Major highlights of TTT3 include:
For full details on all changes and additions, please see the TTT3 Changelog. Changes to display of uniform elements/awards as generated in TTT3 and documented in the Changelog are authorized effective 1 May 2021.
Get it: Download your copy of TTT3 to get started: TTT3-3.0.0.zip.
Reporting issues: Although TTT3 has been tested in both alpha and beta stages, bugs are an inevitable part of software development. Please report any issues encountered at the IO issues incoming queue.
Known issues: Upon launching the application for the first time, Windows 10 users may receive a blue Windows Defender SmartScreen warning. This does not mean that the program is malicious, only that it has not yet established enough reputation with Microsoft to avoid the message. Because we are effectively a small independent software publisher, it takes some time for our application to gain reputation and be viewed as trusted by Microsoft?s algorithms. Clicking "More Info" and then "Run anyway" will allow you to launch the application.
