After a month of many more submissions than usual, the MAA wanted to post a Guideline how to formulate an email:

  • Any CoF-Request is to be adressed to the MAA INQ Taurus
  • As a CC the respective House Leader as well as the P:MAA Legion Ordo is required
  • Either in the Subject or the Text should be the Abbreviation CoF and the respective Game(s) mentioned, this is mandatory so the sorting works
  • Don't forget the SO ID-Line, especially if the mail-adress can not be identified to a member on the first glance
  • If your username is not highlighted in the Screenshot, it would be good to mention who you are

E-Mails that will not match this Guidelines will be answered back and not be worked on until a clarification has been sent in.

Since Jai Thorne joined the Reconnaissance Office as an ROA, he has served with skill and exceptional dedication to the efforts of the Office and its other members. He has served as a beyond-reliable sounding board, a brilliant idea generator, and an overall wonderful person to have on staff.

To recognize this commitment, I have proudly selected Jai Thorne to serve as my second-in-command as the Command Attache to the Recon Office. I look forward to seeing all that he continues to accomplish!

Friendly Reminder from the TO

Just a friendly reminder to all members, as there have been multiple instances with this happening. I'm not calling anyone specific out and I am not chastising anyone either.

Please keep in mind that all Imperial University exam submitted before the end of Raise the Flag will count for the final score. We would highly appreciate it if members did not message and rush the course professors to grade the exams. The course will be graded within a timely manner and the successful courses will count towards the final score. Any course that reaches three days in the queue will be immediately graded by one of our diligent Training Office Assistants.

Thank you for your time, and great effort on all students this year!

FA Jarek La’an Promoted to High Admiral

The rank of High Admiral is the highest rank achievable in the Emperor’s Hammer for senior Command Staff Officers and Subgroup Commanders. Members who are already Fleet Admirals, who have achieved almost all merit awards, and who are universally respected by Command Officers and normal membership alike may be promoted to High Admiral.

Since 2020, Jarek La’an has served with distinction as the Communications Officer at the rank of Fleet Admiral. In this position, he has been responsible for all aspects of communication platform management and policy. This role provides a unique mix of maintaining a highly visible presence on our communication platforms, while also working behind the scenes to moderate issues and concerns regarding member conduct. This less-visible portion of his role is vital to resolving potential conflicts at the lowest level and without requiring escalation to more punitive measures. In exercising his duties, La’an has helped foster a positive environment for all Emperor’s Hammer members that is enjoyed across each of our Subgroups.

In in recognition of his consistently high level of performance and dedication to duty in the Emperor’s Hammer, including serving in four unique Flag (Admiralty) positions since 2009, Fleet Admiral Jarek La’an is promoted to the rank of High Admiral in the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet. High Admiral La’an formally joins the Group of Three active High Admirals within the Emperor’s Hammer with an effective date of rank of 1 September 2024 (33 ABY).

Approved by order of the Executive Officer, Sector Admiral Kamjin Maverick Lap'lamiz, on 26 August 2024 (33 ABY).

Seeking graphical talent

I'm currently seeking individuals with talents in graphic design to assist with preparation of designs for Emperor's Hammer merchandise. Interested members should have familiarity with vector and/or high resolution raster graphics suitable for quality printing, and an eye for design particularly as it applies to designs that will go onto products. Expertise with DTG printing options and merchandise types (shirt weights/materials/etc.) is a great bonus but not required. Interested individuals should message Turtle Jerrar (preferably by Discord).

New TFTC Battles!

Thanks to the continued efforts of CPT Jagged Fell III, there are three new battles that have been released today.

TFTC-IW #2: Wraith Squadron Part 2

TFTC-TC #5: The History of the ISD Immortal

TFTC-TC #6: The Career of AD Adrenaline

Note: the latter two are not entirely new as they are TFTC 'remasters' of two classic XWA-TC battles by COL RogueWing.

This is an experiment into the concept of re-releasing existing battles for a new platform. The current approval guidelines are:

  1. Make your own content first,
  2. Get permission from the original author, and
  3. Add something of value in the remaster.

EH Timeline Corrected

HA Turtle Jerrar

22 July, 2024 21:09
32 ABY

While reviewing historical materials, we recently identified that dates and events displayed as official on our Galactic Timeline were not correctly synchronized. This problem began a couple years ago while we were trying to fix a different issue but ended up introducing a new one in the process. After discussing a couple of options among senior leadership, correcting the error and adjusting dates as necessary was selected as the best option.

The official EH timeline has been corrected as shown on the timeline wiki article. The immediate impact of this correction is that ABY years have been incremented by 1 to correctly synchronize Emperor's Hammer and Star Wars events. The current year is 33 ABY.

What has been updated:

  • Key wiki articles such as the Galactic Timeline and EH Plotline have been updated.
  • A number of non-personal wiki articles, such as ships, squadrons, and information articles about specific events (e.g., recent campaigns) have been updated. Corrected articles will show "eh timeline fix" in the recent edit history.
  • All known areas of the web site that displayed some information in ABY have been updated - the campaign descriptions specifically.
  • Web site functions that generate dates in ABY (e.g., news articles) will be updated in the near future following our normal code review procedure.

What has not been updated:

  • Personal articles for members/characters will not be updated. We're leaving this as an exercise to the writers of those articles to update as appropriate due to the volume of articles, as well as complexity in some of these articles and high potential for introducing errors.
  • Member fiction will not be updated. Please contact me directly if you need help updating some ABY dates in your uploaded content on the web site.

Member content written prior to the change in 2021 is likely already using the correct ABY date.

If you find something that doesn't look quite right, please contact myself and AD Jaxx Nassin.

House Valkorion Opens

*Deep within the SSD Avenger, orbiting XF-971 within the Unknown Regions. 21 July, ABY 33.

A black-cloaked man sits on an office chair in an otherwise unremarkable room: on one side are gray, matte steel panels; on the other, shuttered windows and a single door. Despite the emptiness, the feeling of power is palpable, the air filled with charged static. The man toys with a cylindrical object for a moment, then sets it down, leaning his elbows on an ebony table, massaging his temples with long fingers. His eyes open as the door slides open, making the barest “hiss” of a whisper, revealing a second figure. A large Chiss man enters, his blue skin starkly contrasted against the drabness of the conference room.

“Sit,” comes a command from the cloaked man. “We have much to discuss.”

“My Lord,” he replied, eyes darting around, “the incident on G9-430 wasn’t my fault–”

*“That’s not what we’re talking about.” The cloaked figure reveals two glasses, filled with an opalescent, oily liquid. “If it was, you wouldn’t be meeting with me, you’d be meeting with the stars outside of the airlock.” He slides one glass across the table.

We are officially opening House Valkorion, named after the millennials-old legend who learned to focus the power of the Force to destroy entire planets. (Nowadays we do that with technology, but that was still a feat of note.) As House Palpatine had 65 members, we’re splitting in half, based on a combination of Operative preference (that’s you, you’re an Operative) as well as balancing active members based on monthly activity. Both Houses will begin in Clan Drakonan, although we have an option to split into multiple clans if we need to in the future. The House will be led by Mordred, who will be granted the rank of Stalker upon appointment.

Locke Setzer has helped take care of the entire House Palpatine- 65 people- for months. In light of that, we are promoting him to the rank of Warrior, and providing him with an Emerald Dagger.

A huge portion of gratitude goes out to the IO, HA Turtle Jerrar, for his epic work in helping us makke the changes necessary to make this happen. Thank you!
