Thanks to the hard work of AD Locke Setzer and the outgoing TAC, HA Pickled Yoda, XWVM is now available for all EH members to submit for BSF credit. And not just the base campaign that is part of XW/XWVM natively, but all former EH XW content has also been ported/enabled for use in XWVM.
Get out there and get flying, I know I will.
After 8 years as Tactical Officer, High Admiral Pickled Yoda is stepping down. His contributions to this club have been countless and I would not do them justice trying to list them here so let's just say that the Emperor's Hammer would not be where it is today without the contributions of High Admiral Pickled Yoda.
For all his hard work and dedication, High Admiral Pickled Yoda is being awarded the Order of the Renegade.
He will be a hard person to replace but someone is will to try.
The current Command Attache of the Tactical Office, Rear Admiral Jagged Fell is willing to step up and take the position. For this he is being promoted to the rank of Vice Admiral. Wish him luck.

Pilots,
With the last of the meme grading completed I am happy to announce the completion of this years Squadron (Re)Mobilization!
Kudos and thanks to all who took part in this years competition, it was a fun one to watch as squadrons repeatedly overtook each other on the scoreboard (once again provided by the skills of FA Pickled Yoda). Special thanks also to HA Plif for taking on the task of grading the memes – there were a lot in what was the first time they have been included!
In terms of awards…
4 completed tiers = 1 x ORA to each participant in the squadron
8 completed tiers = 1 x additional ORA
16 completed tiers = 1 x additional ORA
32 completed tiers = 1 x additional ORA
With 40 or more tiers completed the following squadrons will have all participating members receive a (MUA)
Titles to all squadrons that achieved 50% or 75% of the tiers will be assigned shortly.
Please let me know if you spot anything awry with scores and once again thank you for taking part and I hope you enjoyed yourselves!
With the recent changes in the personnel in Typhoon Squadron, CPT GamerRat has been appointed as the squadron's new Executive Officer. I am excited to see what the future holds for the squadron with this new leadership team.
For earning a first Legion of Skirmish and Legion of Combat, SL Zelick of Scorpion Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.
Congratulations, LT Zelick!
From Spear Squadron CMDR MAJ Mack Udar:
Since arriving in Spear, LT Cyan Vytuia has taken initiative to take on the responsibilities of Squadron XO and displayed an aptitude for the position. As well as participating in competitions, submitting LoCs & LoSs without pause and maintaining a presence with his Squadron CMDR, Flight Leader and BGCOM. For these reasons, I proudly recommend the rank promotion from Lieutenant to Lieutenant Commander!
Congratulations, LCM Cyan Vytuia!
Applications are now open to join the command team of Epsilon Squadron as a Flight Leader, leading our Flight III group of pilots.
Epsilon Squadron prides itself in being a friendly supportive group of pilots, with a strong sense of community and fun. We have a strong SP gaming focus and a growing reputation with PvE and PvP gaming as well.
This role would suit new or established pilots who wish to start or continue their leadership experience with one of the longest running squadrons of the TIE Corps, founded in 1994, and flying against the enemies of the Empire, ever since.
No previous experience is needed, as full training will be given.
Interested pilots should DM CPT Nova Discordia or email: DiscordiaSicarius@mail.com with expressions of interest by the 31st July 2026.
Join Epsilon!
For the trinity of completing a first Single Player mission, giving us an insight into their Character through the INPR, and for completing the TCCORE Imperial University course at a very good 94%, SL Rupie of Epsilon Squadron has been promoted to full Lieutenant.
Congratulations, LT Rupie!
From Typhoon Squadron CMDR COL Jagged Fell III:
Since his last promotion, CM Marlore Julren has flown 141 single player missions, earned 45 Legions of Skirmish, participated in 7 different competitions, and set 2 mission high scores.
But those are just the numbers, he is also an active participant in the Typhoon Squadron chat, and hardly a week or two go by when he doesn't just send me a "hey, how are you doing today" DM. He is always a positive presence in the Squadron and club at large and cheers and encourages all in our efforts and successes.
I am so happy he is in my Squadron and it gives me great pleasure to recommend his promotion to Captain in the TIE Corps of the Emperor’s Hammer.
Congratulations, CPT Marlore Julren!
Pilots of the TIE Corps, TIE Corps Exercise: Squadron (Re)Mobilization 8 has come to a close. I hope all of you who participated in this years event enjoyed yourselves and found the tiers entertaining!
ReMoblization is a competition that pits the squadrons against themselves, ticking off tiers. This years we have a host of squadrons sat on 46 tiers completed (Scorpion, Sin & Tempest) and this may change as the memes are graded - please bare with us on this front as it's a substantial pile for Plif to work through!
As always, many thanks to HA Pickled Yoda for putting together our scoreboard and also this year thanks to HA Plif for grading all of the memes!
Next up on the calendar is Raise the Flag 2026 which is slated for September 2026!
