GM_Kadann | Welcome all to another Vast Empire meeting |
GM_Kadann | I've been pretty busy with work in RL this last week |
GM_Kadann | If someone has the Navy report today, msg me now |
GM_Kadann | I'm hoping to get some more time here soon to work on a few more things |
GM_Kadann | Talon, you have something to report this week? |
Talon | I do, thanks. |
GG_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | I guess it's time for a little summary of what we're looking at with Chapter 9 and the VE's future stories. |
GG_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | As I'm sure everyone's aware, the big goal currently is to push the VE's front lines to the Core and retake Coruscant for the Empire. |
GG_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | Unfortunately right now we're not only dealing with the New Republic but also Thrawn and his supporting factions. |
GG_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | The supposed Grand Admiral appears to be making moves to take former Emperor Palpatine's place at the head of the Empire. |
GG_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | Chapter 9 will bring us closer to victory, but the road to the Core is still a long one. We will have to go on the offensive as well as the defensive as we take planets and defend our lines. |
GG_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | We will be facing X-Wings as well as enemy TIE Fighters. |
GG_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | At times the NR foot soldiers will be easy to gun down. Other times the familiar outline of a Stormtrooper will make it harder to pull the trigger. |
GG_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | At times like these, we must remember that these people will not hesitate to pull the trigger. We are at war. |
GG_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | I had wanted to get things rolling a little sooner, but my personal life has been rather busy. Now that I've got a computer set back up I can devote some time to writing. I will be coordinating with the Division Commanders to get Chapter 9 rolling as soon as possible. |
GG_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | That's all I have for today. |
GG_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | Thanks. |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Talon |
GM_Kadann | Let's go ahead with some division reports now |
GM_Kadann | Rizzit, you have the Army report this week? |
COL_Rizzit | more or less |
COL_Rizzit | Allright so first off as most of you have noticed Fury and Merrick have re-opened ARC Squad this week. Angel has been given the position of ARC Squad Leader and has chosen his team. If you have not already, catch them sometime this week to congratulate them on their accomplishments. |
COL_Rizzit | As far as the regular squads go, I'm pleased to report that for the most part everyone is keeping busy on a small storyline of their own in preparation for Chapter 9. As we get closer to the new chapter story starting, these stories will have to draw to a close so just as a heads up: be prepared to wrap these stories up in the near future. |
COL_Rizzit | Also, things have been improving on the gaming front. I've noticed at least two groups of 4 Practing JO on their own in hopes that we do end up participating in the gaming competition that Fury was talking about at last week's meeting. Let's try and keep up with that participation not only upto and durring the competition (if we participate) but afterwards as well. Gaming is a part of our club's activity as well as the writing, altho |
COL_Rizzit | it seems as though writing is what is focused on. |

GM_Kadann | /chanserv hop |
COL_Rizzit | As a reminder, I've asked all Squad Leaders to get a list of the games that their troopers do play and which games they would be willing to dedicate time to. Squad Leaders: if you haven't asked your troopers: please don't forget to do that. Troopers: if you haven't, please notify your Squad Leader. |
COL_Rizzit | also, to end on a good note: I'd like to call Lance Corporal Rogueboy and Corporal Aphamos to come forward please. |
| * CPL_Aphamos steps forward |
| * LCPL_Rogueboy steps forward |
COL_Rizzit | I've heard many good things about the both of you from your Squad Leader. Apparently your activity and dedication to both your squad and the empire are higher than most here, but in particular higher than the others in your squad. |
COL_Rizzit | To reward you for your accomplishments, I am hereby awarding each you the Emperor's Shield 1st Class. |
| * CPL_Aphamos salutes |
| * LCPL_Rogueboy shakes Rizzit's hand, salutes and sits down |
| * CPL_Aphamos returns to his seat |
COL_Rizzit | Congratulations to you both. |
COL_Rizzit | That's it for me |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Rizzit |
GM_Kadann | Shazam, you have the Navy report this week? |
CMD_Shazam | Indeed I do |
CMD_Shazam | I thought I'd bring up a few interesting points about the Navy in general this week- primarilly the appearence of the Strike Cruiser Doashim and position changes |
CMD_Shazam | As of right now, the Strike Cruiser Doashim, in timeline at least, is finishing construction and testing- it is a brand new craft. |
CMD_Shazam | Chapter 9 will be its first test under the command of 2Lt Arturus |
CMD_Shazam | From that storyline we'll begin to establish certain things about the Doashim- namely the crew, capabilities and other anomalies in its function. |
CMD_Shazam | Also, from the battles in Chapter 9 and experiences that the crew of the Doashim have, post battle analysis (PBA) will be produced to give us the Captains Logs |
CMD_Shazam | I'm thinking those will be a requirement to read through and/or understand before other people can be assigned to the Doashim |
CMD_Shazam | Hopefully the Doashim will play an intricate part in our storyline and really get things going for this new area of the Navy. |
CMD_Shazam | OUtside of big ships, our squadrons seem to be pretty active, or at least as much as they can be. Jaden, commander of Aegis Squadron, has already been promoted and rewarded justly for his awesome activity and support of his squadron- his work is really starting to show as the group pulls in high activity every week. |
CMD_Shazam | Now, for those who've been here for a while, we're approaching that mark where people are worthy of command status- we haven't been able to put people up there for a couple of reasons- primarilly because we didn't have the exams to test them in the first place. |
CMD_Shazam | However, with the completion of the minor exams, which can be found under 'VENA News' on the Vast Empire Navy main comnet, people can take the minor exams and move on to the MA where they'll be able to choose a career path. |
CMD_Shazam | That could lead to a job in the VENA-S, onboard a ship or in a high class squadron: you're choice. Either way, there's going to be a lot of movement in position once we figure out where we want everyone. This'll probably mean a momentary drop in members for each squadron, but it should help to get things firmly sorted out so that everyone knows what their duties are. |
CMD_Shazam | Also, I'd like to welcome our two O1s to the Training Staff at the VENA- Cyleaf Aeheit and Demonic |
CMD_Shazam | They'll be able to usher people to the correct areas of BT, and as soon as they complete their MEs and get to work on the MA, they'll be able to do a lot more. This is yet another attempt to help stabalize the Navy so we can become even more productive. |
CMD_Shazam | Thoughts on our new system or ideas can always be suggested to myself, or the TX- Jaden. |
CMD_Shazam | that's about all I have this week- thankyou for your time and have an awesome week. |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Shazam |
| * CMD_Shazam nods |
GM_Kadann | As you all know, we're going to be starting the next chapter soon |
GM_Kadann | So start gearing up the members for this |
GM_Kadann | Squad leaders, make sure to get the new guys up to speed so they'll be able to participate asap |
GM_Kadann | We'll be having a lottery drawing next week |
GM_Kadann | The lottery drawing will be for 26 million ICs |
GM_Kadann | That's all for this week |
GM_Kadann | Thanks to all who came |
GM_Kadann | Dismissed |
