The 2025 Mission Creation Competition was a two phase competition that ran earlier this year. Building on the similar task from Squadron Re-Mobilization, members had the opportunity to submit a detailed design for a battle. In the second phase, those designs were turned into reality and built in one of our supported gaming platforms.

The Tactical Office is pleased to announce that judging is complete and the winners have been determined.

Design Phase

  1. IS-GR - Voice from the Past by Brucmack
  2. IS-SR - Out of Time - Far from Home by Jagged Fell III
  3. IS-BR - Avengers in 60 seconds by Locke Setzer
  4. IS-CR - Flight of the Xanthe by Honsou and Marenta Jean

All entries in this phase were deemed eligible for Commendations of Service - in addition to these winners, the submissions included Remob battle plans from Lambda, Spear and Scorpion.

Creation Phase

  1. IS-PR - Out of Time - Far from Home by Jagged Fell III (TFTC)
  2. IS-GR - Voice from the Past by Brucmack (XvT)
  3. IS-BR - Avengers in 60 seconds by Locke Setzer (XvT)

The Tactical Office is currently beta testing the entries and will have them released later this month.

Congrats to all participants!

After serving as Tempest Squadron's commander for the past 10 months, COL Mordred has decided to step down from the position. We thank him for his service to Tempest and Battlegroup III!

Stepping up to replace him will be Tempest Squadron's executive officer (and the man COL Mordred originally replaced) - MAJ Morgoth!

As part of this command reshuffling, CPT Therj'en'nuruodo will step into the squadron executive officer role, and MAJ Grendel will return to the position of Flight Leader of Tempest Squadron Flight III.

Congrats to all, and good luck to Tempest Squadron and its new command structure!

From Typhoon Squadron CMDR LC Jagged Fell III:

Lieutenant Reece Torenn has been an amazing new member of Typhoon Squadron. He joined just prior to the start of the 2025 Raise the Flag competition and was a major reason for the squadron's 3rd place finish. In the two months since he joined he has flown 121 single player missions, written 23 battle reviews, 2 bug reports, 2 short fictions for the RtF bonus comps both placing in the top 10, he made 2 art entries for the bonus comps, he has passes 5 Imperial University courses, and has begun to join the Typhoon Squadron tradition of jumping on the weekly trivia competition as well. He has been a great addition to the squadron seeming to be happy to be here and I couldn't be happier recommending his promotion to Lieutenant Commander.

Congratulations, LCM Reece Torenn!
