From Eagle Squadron CMDR COL Miles Prower:
With an excellent tour of duty spanning four months trending with ISM level activity ramping up to BS level activity, combined with Armon's recent efforts to assist the Training Officer at the EH Command Staff level, I am more than pleased to endorse Lieutenant Commander Armon Ferro for elevation to the next rank of Commander!
Congratulations, CM Armon Ferro!
Wanted to bring the thrill and laser gunnery skills of XvT PvP to modern consoles? Then good news ahead!
Thanks to testing by COL Honsou and CM Newt of Sin Squadron, I am pleased to announce that a new approved set of modifiers is available for Star Wars Squadrons PvP Dogfights.
The Combat Operations Office Manual has been updated to include these modifiers, as listed below. Games must still be set to a match time of 10 minutes, and kill limit set to 100. Screenshots must show that these settings are being used.
*Note: This set of restrictions is not exclusionary - any game that meets the minimum requirements of 10mins in length and kill limit set to 100 is a valid Custom PvP Dogfight match.
The Tactical Office is pleased to announce the release of two new TFTC free missions by the indefatigable CPT Jagged Fell III

Between the time of his prior promotion on the sixth day of the fourth month of Imperial Year ABY 31, and the 23rd day of the twelfth month of this Imperial Year ABY 33 when Lieutenant Colonel Honsou was awarded a Palpatine Crescent, the Sin Squadron Commander has lead his crew to a Third Place Squadron achievement in this year’s Raise the Flag, managed six competitions for Squadron and Fleet, and submitted seven Squadron Reports for the records of his prior assignments and current.
Lieutenant Colonel Honsou continues to demonstrate admirable skills as a pilot - earning 138 Legions of Combat, 903 Legions of skirmish, and completing 21 missions from the Single Pilot Simulator catalogue across this time.
With broad efforts and participation, Lieutenant Colonel Honsou has been awarded two Commendations of Loyalty during this time range, and collected a wide array of Iron Stars of various Wings and Ribbons. He has completed 13 courses from the Imperial University on the way to achieving four academic Certificates, with a Graduate of Starfighter Operations achievement to cap his accomplishments.
Lieutenant Colonel Honsou has now reached the Elite 4th and Master Ranger 2nd Combat Ratings, placing him in the 17th Echelon of Flight Certification.
Through the combination of the above details with 21 medals earned from monthly evaluations across the 32 months since his prior promotion, in honor of his leadership bringing a resurgence to historical Sin Squadron, and in celebration of Sin Squadron reaching 100% completion of the TCCORE across its membership via his guidance, we proudly recommend Lieutenant Colonel Honsou be awarded the rank of Colonel - with all rights, privileges, and responsibilities entailed.
Congratulations, COL Honsou!

CM Sam Arsio, formerly a Flight Member in Lambda Squadron, has transferred to Spear Squadron to become their new Flight Leader. Congratulations and good luck in your new role!
A hearty congratulations to RA Honsou for being chosen as my new Command Attache to the Training Officer!
Thank you all who voiced an interest in working with the Training Office and the Imperial University. Be on the lookout for the next big changes to the Training Office as we work to reopen the DEAN positions for each academy and expand our catalog of available courses and graduate titles.
We look forward to continuing the development of the Imperial University and to enhance the experiences of our students!
After two years of service as a squadron commander in Battlegroup III, GN Triji Boliv has decided to step down from command of the Typhoon Squadron, the squadron he opened eighteen months ago and has since led to being one of the most consistent performing units in Battlegroup III.
Replacing him will be his executive officer and long-time standout pilot, CPT Jagged Fell III. As one of the most dedicated and active officers in Battlegroup III, there is no one better suited to continue GN Boliv's work and keep Typhoon Squadron riding high!
Congrats to CPT Jagged Fell III!
Due to outside commitments, MAJ Morgoth has decided to step down as squadron commander of Tempest Squadron. He will, however, remain on with Tempest Squadron as its Executive Officer.
Replacing him will be a long-time veteran of the TIE Corps and Tempest Squadron, COL Mordred! With a long and dedicated history of service to the Emperor's Hammer, there's no doubt that Tempest Squadron is in the right hands to lead it into the future!
Congrats to COL Mordred!
