Fiction

Pete’s Wallet Runs Dry

Pete was sorting through his messages when he saw and promotion that he didn’t approve.  “New rank for FA Pete Mitchell” he read.  “Well that spoils the surprise, but it sure is very nice of the Grand Admiral… I guess I better get my dress uniform on for the Grand Admiral’s announcement tonight.  I wonder what he will say…

Once dressed, Pete turned to his R8-C6 droid.  “How do I look?”

R8 responded with a couple short beeps and a whistle.

“I did not miss a spot there!  And no, not all meatbags look the same!  Why do I even bother?”

Pete grabbed his cover and headed out the door. 

Pete stepped off his shuttle into the main hangar bay of the Sovereign.  He chuckled to himself that this was the most he’d been on the Sovereign since he was assigned to Wing III.  He saluted the Grand Admiral and took his place to Rapier’s right, facing the many of the other top officers of the fleet, except Plif.  Plif, of course, couldn’t be in the same place as both Pete and the Grand Admiral, just in case. 

Rapier began his introduction and then began discussing the great accomplishments of an officer which Pete immediately knew wasn’t him. 

“It is with great pleasure I hereby promote VA Impulse to AD Impulse!”

The pattern continued with the new AD Miles Prower, FA Mark Schueler, and finally himself. 

Then came the most surprising part of the night…

“The first round’s on me,”

“Woah, that never happens…” thought Pete.  “Nice!”

“After that, it’s on these guys!”

“OK, time to party in the big house, guys!”  Pete cheered.  “I could definitely get used to this ship again, quick.”

Pete walked over to the bar of Rapier’s Brew Pub and ordered a craft Naboo brown ale. 

“Would you like to open a tab?”

“Unfortunately, yes.  Every 4^th round is on me, excluding the first.  I hope this crowd doesn’t drink too much.”

“Normally it doesn’t get too rowdy, but it does look like Kappa showed up,” noted the bartender, “and it looks like they brought their family.  Wait, I think that might be a bunch of cargo pilots…”

“Oh great, I’ll have to at least get rid of them, or I’ll owe my pension to you…”

News

First, congratulations to Admiral Impulse, AD Miles Prower, and FA Mark Schueler for their promotions.  Oh, I also got promoted to FA. 

It looks like the January MSE process is complete and just in time to start February’s.

Also, thank you to Kyle Kroan again, as he has finished some nice updated squadron logos. 

Come join us on MP nights at 730p EST on Discord.  It’s tonight this week.  We’ll see if it sticks on Tuesdays.

February Assignments:

BSF’s are due by Midnight GMT February 28^th. 

Rules:

Every month, there will be a full battle from each of the major SP platforms (TIE, XvT, XWA) assigned.  Pilots will fly each battle that they choose and BSF the battles to the TC database and forward the BSF email to Pete Mitchell.  If the pilot has earned a high score, BSF it and also send the pilot file to Pete Mitchell in case the BSF is not approved in time.  Please also forward the BSF confirmation to Pete Mitchell as well. 

Each month the pilot with the highest score in each platform will earn 10 points.  The next highest score will earn 9, the next highest 8, then 7, then 6 and so on.  All submissions will earn at least 5 points.  Any mission high scores, will earn 1 bonus point, and any battle high scores will earn 2 bonus points.  High scores are determined at the time the BSF was submitted.  If a high score is beat by another pilot in the same competition that submitted after, both pilots will receive the bonus points.  If a pilot submits a BSF that would have been a high score, but was beat by another pilot that submitted before, no bonus points will be awarded to the second submission.  Points will accumulate for the year for more awards. 

Participation points will also be tallied by ship and squadron.  One point per battle flown.  Flying participants of top participating ships and squadrons will earn extra rewards.
