Fiction

Pete takes test drive

(Continued from “Tifosi... in Space!")

“TIE Maverick, huh? You must have dug up my original call sign…” said Pete.

“I did look back into your historic file for inspiration…” replied VA Hav Antiel, the designer of Pete’s new fighter. 

“Well is it ready for a test flight?”

“Sure, you can fly it back to the Challenge!”

“And it won’t explode on me or anything?”

“Ummm…no, no it shouldn’t.  No that won’t be a problem anymore…” Hav said while looking a bit off to Pete’s left. 

“Shouldn’t…anymore?  Maybe I should let you guys test this out a bit more…”

“No, it’s great, it’s ready!”

“Alright, It can’t be too bad, can it?  I’ll take her back to the challenge. 

In the cockpit of his new TIE, Pete looked around and checked everything out.  Hav really wasn’t kidding about the same controls.  Pete noticed the flight stick was perfectly worn to match his hand.  It must have been salvaged from his Guardian as well.  Pete fired everything up and tested the systems.

Pete opened a radio channel to the yellow Muurian Transport from where Hav was watching.  “OK, systems check out.  Here I go…”

Pete eased the Maverick out of the hangar with gentle control inputs. It didn’t take much at all to make it respond.  The controls were just as intuitive as his TIE Guardian.  He linked up the laser and ion cannons, did a quick Immelmann roll and fired a volley at a small asteroid, vaporizing it.  “I love the extra firepower, and speed!  I’ll see you back at the fleet, Hav.”

Pete continued on and jumped into hyperspace.

Pete exited hyperspace within view of the ISDII Challenge, happy he made it without any issues, when his sub-light engines sputtered and stopped…

Pete checked his displays and attempted a restart.  He got a couple sputters, and nothing.  One more attempt lead to a squeal and sharp bang.  He was starting to smell some smoke.

“ISD Challenge, this is Tex.  A little help, please?  My new TIE does not appear to be as reliable as advertised”

Pete felt a slight vibration as the tractor beam grabbed his fighter and pulled it into the Hangar.

News

MSE’s are complete and the next round is not far off.   

Remember to fly for TIE Corps in Battle.  The competition is quite participation heavy, so fly and you could be well rewarded!

Also, the Kappa KMDR position is open for applications.  MAJ Aldaric will stay in place until a replacement is found.  This is a great way for anyone willing to step up to help advance their career with rewarding work!  Please send applications to VA Hav Antiel.

June Assignments:

TIE-TC 34: Encounter at Charybdis

XvT-TC 43: More Power Part III

XWA-TC 18: Immortalized

BSF’s are due by midnight GMT on June 30^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.
