Welcome to this years TIE Corps Exercise: Squadron (Re)Mobilization!
Commencing at 00:01 UTC on June 1st!

As per an older report by the TCCOM -
"Starting from its first run in 2019, (Re)Mob was designed to get each squadron together to complete tasks as a team in a way that was similar in scale to Raise the Flag but not as much of a firehose of activity..."

Squadron (Re)Mobilization is a competition that pits our squadrons, largely against themselves and rewards squadrons for working together as a team. Over the course of the next month each squadron will try and complete as many of the tasks on the list as possible, each task having been broken into four equal chunks to assist them in completing the tasks they wish to complete.

The tasks cover many of the different activities that the TIE Corps has to offer, from completing Single Player battles from our Battle Compendium, to flying both against and with each other in PvP or PvE combat. We also have tasks around fiction writing, completing Imperial University Courses and wiki editing alongside creating the outline of a battle which was a big hit last year!

This year, Squadron (Re)Mobilization will be running from 00:01 June 1st to 11:59 June 30th

For full details on the tasks please refer to the competition outline - TIE Corps Exercise: Squadron (Re)Mobilization 8
The online scoreboard created by FA Pickled Yoda can be found here - TIE Corps Exercise: Squadron (Re)Mobilization 8 Scores

From Gamma Squadron CMDR CPT LQC-75-3:

For consistent service and dedication within Gamma Squadron, as well as sustained improvement behind the controls of our corp's craft, it is my honor to recommend Mad_Spier for immediate promotion to Liutenant Commander.

Congratulations, LCM Mad_Spier!

This promotion is enacted retroactively dated October 31st.

For completing a first Single Player Battle, in TIE Fighter Total Conversion, SL Root of Epsilon Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.

Congratulations, LT Root!

This promotion is enacted retroactively dated March 31st.

From Theta Squadron CMDR MAJ Tiran Marr:

Since his promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Commander in December of 33 ABY, Samuel Smith has earned a total of 90 Legions of Skirmish and 44 Legions of Combat. To include participation credits earned for ReMob 2025 and Imperial Storm 2026. He has successfully earned the appropriate number of merit medals for both the time required in rank and service to achieve eligibility for promotion. I formally request his advancement to the rank of Commander as of this date.

Congratulations, CM Samuel Smith!

The brand new, Imperial Campaign recently released for X-Wing Alliance, Embers of the Empire, is now supported as allowed content for the Emperor's Hammer.

Embers of the Empire is an all-new, original Imperial campaign set in the Star Wars Legends timeline, taking place shortly after the events of Vision of the Future by Timothy Zahn.

As a conscript from Parshoone, Janz Gaaland is thrust into the ranks of the battered Imperial Remnant, fighting not for conquest—but for survival—in a fractured, post-treaty galaxy.

With the Empire weakened, divided, and surrounded, every battle matters. Every decision carries weight. And for the first time in years… the Empire may finally have a chance to rise again.

The campaign consists of 14 custom battles totaling 73 new missions.

To play the campaign, simply install the Embers of the Empire mod per the instructions on their ModDB web page, https://www.moddb.com/mods/embers-of-the-empire, and then play as normal. If you want to play through the whole of the campaign, simply create a new pilot via the in game options. But if you want to play a specific battle you can download pilot files enabled to start each of the later battles from the appropriate page in the Battle Center, https://tc.emperorshammer.org/battlecenter.php?id=list&sort=1&plt=24&sg=14.

To receive credit for flying any of the battles within the mod, submit your pilot file to the BSF system as you would any other single player game. Just like for the other campaigns, the BSF system supports using the same pilot file for multiple battles, whether the file is submitted with multiple completed battles, or submitted multiple times as more battles are completed.

Have fun and fly for the glory of the Empire!

MAJ MsMayham has resigned from Spear CMDR and has transferred to the Reserves. Thank you for your service!

AD Alexandre Morgan and I have agreed that CPT Mack Udar, previously Spear's SQXO, will be the next Spear CMDR per MAJ MsMayham's recommendation. Congratulations and good luck in your new role!

From the Commander of Firebird Squadron, GN Master:

MAJ SirCaleb has been the engine‑room hum of Firebird since stepping in as XO in June 2024: steady, unshakable, and producing at a rate that often borders on the uncanny. Yet month after month he delivers!

In his time as XO he’s amassed 214 LoCs and 651 LoSs, been present in every competition cycle with active participation, and even launched his own competition to drive Battlegroup engagement. He’s set the tone for the unit through leading by example, backed by a record that already carries multiple Bronze Stars and a Silver Star. His sustained output, presence, and impact make him fully deserving of promotion to Lieutenant Colonel.

Congratulations, LC SirCaleb!

From the Commander of Battlegroup II, AD Alexandre Morgan:

When Honsou joined Sin as CMDR in March of 2024 - over two years ago - his impact was immediately felt on the squadron and the Battlegroup. His attention to detail, his remarkable visibility in voice chats and text channels, and his high level of personal activity have remained consistent since then, and in fact increased since he was promoted to Colonel in January of 2025, earning twelve merit medals, including two Silver Stars, since then.

His impact on and successes in the three Corps-wide competitions is one of the most impressive things on his resume. He served as BGII Captain in IS7 and 8, assisting the BGCOM in understanding and managing the event. He led Sin to a 40/48 tiers performance in ReMob 7 and back-to-back podium finishes in Raise the Flag. This type of effort in leadership puts him among the most successful to occupy the position - the effect that this has on the Battlegroup is huge, and he drives the efforts and investments of all those around him, even outside of his own squadron.

His other activities finish rounding off his accolades and above-and-beyond efforts as CMDR. Submitting multiple massive storied 'Chronicles of Sin' reports, delivering reliable high-quality MSE sheets, grading the most IU exams last RtF (fifty-six), and his high level of personal activity (nearly 800 MSE points since his COL promotion) capture the larger picture of what he means to his surrounding pilots and his surrounding leadership. Not a day goes by where I don’t message him, seeking wisdom on a question or advice.

For his BG-level efforts in the flagship competitions, his ridiculous presence and visibility, his high level of personal activity, his consistent merit medals, his past and ongoing competitions, and his impact at large on the Corps, I recommend that Honsou be promoted to General and be afforded all rights, privileges, and responsibilities entailed.

Congratulations, GN Honsou!

For giving us a - very in depth - insight into his Character through his INPR, SL Et'sen Kryze of Gamma Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.

Congratulations, LT Et'sen Kryze!

From Typhoon Squadron CMDR COL Jagged Fell III:

Since his last promotion, CPT JKast has been an absolute wreaking ball of activity. By the numbers he has: flown 205 single player missions, earned 106 Legions of Combat and 36 Legions of Skirmish, competed in 50 different competitions/rounds, has posted a mission High Score, wrote over 6,300 words of fiction, and written 34 battle reviews.

He also placed first for Battlegroup III for 2025 RtF and in the 2025 RtF Hot Shots competition and so much more. He also has been a great Squadron Executive Officer to me, helping hype the different competitions Typhoon has been in and always willing to help us over the line to our larger goals in the main Fleet competitions. I can’t wait to see what is next for him and it is with great pleasure I am recommending his promotion to Major in the Emperor’s Hammer TIE Corps.

Congratulations, MAJ JKast!

From Theta Squadron CMDR MAJ Tiran Marr:

Since his promotion to the rank of Captain on June 4th, 34 ABY, CPT Armon Ferro has served honorably in his role as Theta Squadron's Executive Officer. He has been a shining example of outstanding levels of activity and drive for earning himself top remarks upon the various monthly leaderboards across the club. He has successfully achieved both the necessary time in rank and the number of merit medals required to see him through to the next chapter in his career within the TIE Corps: the rank of Major. Since his time as a Captain, he has accumulated an outstanding total of 1,340 Legions of Skirmish, 4 Legions of Combat, participation in various competitions, all on top of being a valued member of the Squadron overall. His actions reflect great credit upon himself, Theta Squadron, the TIE Corps, and the Emperor's Hammer. I am honored to formally promote him to the rank of Major.

Congratulations, MAJ Armon Ferro!

From Typhoon Squadron CMDR COL Jagged Fell III:

Since his last promotion, Commander GamerRat has flown 111 single player missions, earned 49 Legions of Combat and 24 Legions of Skirmish, competed in several competitions including TIE Corps in Battle and Raise the Flag, passed 20 Imperial University courses, written 20 Battle reviews, written 3 bug reports, and has written over 8,600 words of fiction.

Since joining Typhoon Squadron he has been an active participant in our competitions and our squadron chat and has more than met the requirements for the rank of Captain in the TIE Corps.

Congratulations, CPT GamerRat!

From Tempest Squadron CMDR GN Silwar Naiilo:

MAJ Grendel has been a stalwart member of Tempest Squadron for almost three years, proof shown through his dozens of Bronze and Silver stars. He has consistently led the squadron in activity and as a Flight Leader, clearing the path ahead for our fleet and driving fear into the hearts of those who dare to oppose us.

For his consistent efforts and strength in leadership, I recommend his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel.

Congratulations, LC Grendel!

For completing a first Single Player Battle, in X-wing vs TIE Fighter, SL Veelo Horne of Gamma Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.

Congratulations, LT Veelo Horne!

From Kappa Squadron CMDR GN Jarek La’an:

CPT Drakon has spent the vast majority of her near 10 year TC career in Kappa squadron, rising to become it's SQXO and serving as such for the last 30 months. Since the start of 2026 she has earned no fewer than 250 LoS, earning 2 BS and a PC in the last 4 months alone. An active communicator and positive force within the squadron, her recent efforts in Imperial Storm exemplify her ability to rally Kappa and set an example for her peers to follow. Having met the requirements in time served and merit medals awarded I have no hesitation in ensuring her loyalty and contributions are rewarded with a much deserved promotion to Major, a rank befitting her efforts and the SQXO role she will continue to hold.

Congratulations, MAJ Rachel Drakon!

From Typhoon Squadron CMDR COL Jagged Fell III:

Since his last promotion, Lieutenant Commander Reece Torenn has flown 47 single player missions, competed in numerous competitions including recently Imperial Storm VIII and TIE Corps in Battle, and has written 8 Battle reviews.

He has been a diligent pilot for the Emperor's Hammer and a great member of Typhoon Squadron. He has more than met the requirements for the rank of Commander in the TIE Corps.

Congratulations, CM Reece Torenn!

For earning a first set of Legions of Skirmish, in Star Wars: Squadrons, SL Gaius Balkar of Tempest Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.

Congratulations, LT Gaius Balkar!

MAJ Morgoth has retired from Tempest CMDR and has returned to a FM role. Thank you for your service!

Returning to Tempest CMDR is GN Silwar Naiilo, the highly-decorated veteran who's led Tempest before, moved up to Commodore, then Battlegroup Commander, Combat Operations Officer, and Grand Master before stepping back for a while. Congratulations and good luck in your new/old role!
