With Episode IX not on disc yet and The Mandalorian having concluded its first season, we’d like any spoiler discussions to take place in the Telegram channel we’ve set aside for anyone who’s ready to chat about the latest things happening in the Star Wars Universe. To join up, ask about the spoiler chat in the TIE Corps Discussion group and one of us will send you an invite.

If you complete a new Imperial University course, you'll notice that your EH database profile gets updated automatically but not your TC database profile. The latter are updated manually by me and the TCCOM, please give us a couple of days after your test is graded for the new course to appear in your TC profile before you email us about it.

How the MoC is earned: In the monthly evaluations, each leader in the TIE Corps (CMDR+) lists all of the pilots that have checked in that month or communicated in a public forum. Those members are awarded an MoC with an oak cluster based on how many times they've earned the MoC in the past.

Oak Clusters: The MoC is always awarded with an oak cluster (MoC-boc, MoC-soc, etc.). For first two awards, it's a Bronze Oak Cluster. From there, the third award is Silver, the fourth and fifth awards are Bronze, the sixth award is Gold, the seventh and eighth awards are Bronze, the ninth award is Platinum, the tenth and eleventh awards are Bronze, and then the twelfth award is Diamond. After that, the cycle begins anew.

DONE:

• Earned a few LoSs from SC PvE
• Processed January MoCs
• Posted an updated set of Squadron (Re)Mobilization tasks for COM review in Telegram
• Figured out that my video card problem isn't my power supply, it's AMD's drivers. That's a relief... and yet not.

ONGOING:

• Acting Kappa KMDR
• Running the Trivia Grand Tour and Everyone’s a Critic
• Approving awards and uniforms, correcting submissions as needed
• Updating TC database profiles with IU course completions
• Keeping track of CoB eligibility

IN PROGRESS:

• TIE Corps Pilot Manual update
• Retooling Squadron (Re)Mobilization for its second iteration

PENDING:

• Taking TM/3
• Updating SM to SM/5
• Title review for anything that awarded a title that isn’t reflected in the database yet
• Competition resource - what we’ve done before to serve as a pool of ideas for what we can do next
• Figuring out another solution for completing the evaluation feedback loop
• Working out details for the next iteration of Imperial Storm
