Introduction

Welcome to my 60^th Gamma Report!

I apologize for the tardiness of this report; I just got back from a trip. After the blast we had last week, this one turned out to be a bit quieter. However, people didn’t stop being active, which is great! Keep it up, guys!

If you can, take part in RA Tuba’s Favorite Weapons Competition! See more details in the competitions section of this report.

Dark Lord of the Week

The highly prestigious title of Dark Lord of the Week is only given to the person who has most advanced the success of the Squadron, amused the CMDR, or slipped me the most $5 notes in a brown paper bag. This week's winner is:

Woody, for participating in Tuba’s comp!

Ewok of the Week

Yub Yub!

Every story has a hero, every journey has a first step, every Fleet has a pilot who's about as much use as an ashtray on a speeder bike. This weeks's Prize Ewok is none other than:

I don’t know, pick one…
