Sub-Zero Squadron News

Not a lot of activity going on in this squadron. The only other person that sent in a pilot file was Vortoq. Get active!!

The Specter of the Past has been postponed until all the bugs in the XvT and XWA missions are fixed.

Only two people in this squadron have 0 points. I want to see this squadron become the best battle team in Tridens. Participate in the Spectre of the Past, Proconsul Comp, bio/history comp, and the Tridens comp.

Medals & Elevations

Merit Marks.

The new merit system is now in place the details are:

Points are awarded for all types of activity, such as flying, graphics, mission design and fiction:

All pilot files submitted by a pilot will receive a point for each mission completed in the battle. So if you complete a 6-mission battle, then you will receive 6 merit points.

For competitions there will be a set amount of points given to each pilot that participates, along with the points for the number of completed missions, entries, etc. for that competition.

Medals aware awarded after a set number of points has been amassed:

Dark Cross (DC) - 60 Merit points

War Cross (WC) - 150 Merit points

Steel Cross (SC) - 300 Merit points

I have put the merit marks in your activity reports, please contact me if you think they are wrong, theses merit marks are calculated from when I took command of Sub-Zero.

Activity Reports

Merit Marks are based on DB battles submitted to me or Comp non-DB battles since I became CMDR of SZ.

Spectre of the Past

Out of nowhere, Tarentum's ships are attacked while on a recon mission far from their base. The attackers are supposedly a pirate group, however, there was no Force signature the Sith could detect prior or during the attack. Something powerful blocks out the Force imprints of the attackers.

A few days later, the Tarentum Phyles, guarded by a group of Obelisk, are attacked during an archaeological expedition on a world not far from the Gladius base. The attackers seemed to be after the transport they came with. Not caring who they kill in the process. As with the attackers on the ships, their Force signatures are suppressed. Every killed attacker carries a small golden amulet forming the head of a dragon – artifacts that suppress the Force imprints.

Since the connection is obvious, a search is conducted...

Phase 1 will release Saturday, 23rd for the writers and MP and Friday the 1st for SP, given that DGM Astatine approves the settings.

Co-judge for writings events is KAP Kaiann. SP missions will be checked by our dear SHW.

Get ready! Everyone can do everything, no Order limitations. Kumba, even you can do something :o)

Humor

Two old guys, Abe and Sol, are sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons and talking about baseball, like they do every day. Abe turns to Sol and says, "Do you think there's baseball in heaven?" Sol thinks about it for a minute and replies, "I dunno. But let's make a deal: if I die first, I'll come back and tell you if there's baseball in heaven, and if you die first, you do the same." They shake on it and sadly, a few months later, poor Abe passes on. One day soon afterward, Sol is sitting there feeding the pigeons by himself when he hears a voice whisper, "Sol... Sol..." Sol responds, "Abe! Is that you?" "Yes it is, Sol," whispers Abe's ghost. Sol, still amazed, asks, "So, is there baseball in heaven?" "Well," says Abe, "I've got good news and bad news." "Gimme the good news first," says Sol. Abe says, "Well... there is baseball in heaven." Sol says, "That's great! What news could be bad enough to ruin that!?" Abe sighs and whispers, "You're pitching on Friday."
