The Best of the Dark Sentinel Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet The Best of The Dark Sentinel Issue #60 January 7th, 2000 Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet Aurora System, Outer Rim Territories Edited/authored by Sector Admiral Jahn Compton XO/SA Compton/CS-2/SSSD Sov Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet SSSD Sovereign Welcome to the 5th anniversary issue of the Dark Sentinel, the official NewsLetter of the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet. I'm Sector Admiral Jahn Compton, and I have had the honor and privilege of serving the Emperor in this unparalleled organization for most of the existence of the club. The EH has been through many changes in the last five years, growing from a one-man operation to what it is today - the largest internet-based Star Wars club in the world. I hope this NewsLetter serves as a decent record and history of where the EH has been, and that it may help guide the way to future glories. Notes on reading this NewsLetter: All text taken directly from an issue of the Dark Sentinel will look like this. Sector Admiral Compton's personal notes will look like this. (And all issue summaries will look like this.) If you are a new member of the Emperor's Hammer, I hope this will serve as an excellent resource for finding out about the history of the Fleet. It's taken the hard work of many people you may not have ever heard of to get the Fleet to where it is today. If you've been in the EH for a while, I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane. I've put countless hours into documenting the history of the EH, and I'm very proud of what the Emperor's Hammer has been able to accomplish in just five years. Please join me in striving to make it better each and every day.

In reality William Call, inspired by the previous effort by Zach Slaton and his club the Executor Wing on America Online, wanted to start a club based on the computer game TIE Fighter. So on 12/30/94, he posted the first EH NewsLetter, invited everyone browsing around AOL's Flight Sim Resource Center to join this new Imperial Fleet... THE EMPEROR'S HAMMER IMPERIAL STAR DESTROYER AVENGER NEWSLETTER NO. 1 The Emperor's Hammer during close formation reloading training (photo: TIE Fighter - LucasArts, 1994) The Emperor's Hammer Strike Wing of the Imperial Star Destroyer Avenger was recently commissioned by the Emperor Palpatine. The Emperor's plans require seasoned TIE pilots and support personnel to combat the recent resurgence of the rebellion following the Rebel Alliance's unsuccessful attempt to obtain the TIE Defender technology during the Nami uprising. The Emperor's Hammer is comprised of an elite strike squadron to be stationed on the Imperial Star Destroyer Avenger. The wing consists of six squadrons with varying mission parameters and capabilities which are detailed below. The Emperor's Hammer is currently forming and conducting training exercises in preparation for impending action against newly formed Rebel units. The Avenger is currently assigned to Lord Vader's personal Strike Force consisting of the Super Class Destroyer Executor, the Imperial Class Star Destroyers Devastator and Avenger and two ships with classified designations. GENERAL DESCRIPTION & REQUIREMENTS The missions that Emperor's Hammer run will typically include VIP escort, Facility/capital ship interception, strike and defense missions. Although the Emperor's Hammer is still being formed, it is anticipated that its members will be seeing active duty following upcoming release of a mission editor. If any squadron members have knowledge of such a file, you are asked to notify the recently assigned Wing Commander General Ronin (W [email protected]) for upgrade to mission control. It should be noted that since the Wing Commander has flown all missions in the original TIE Fighter and Defender of the Empire expansion disk, the time and story line pickup following their completion. However, as missions dictate, some will be flown utilizing the standard fighter complement in the original TIE fighter. In keeping with the strict dictates of Emperor Palpatine and the Inner Circle of the Secret Order, certain minimum skill levels will be required to maintain the Wing Structure. However, once the Squadron Commander positions are filled, the composition of their unit is at their discretion. Palpatine wishes to retain an uncharacteristic individuality and flexibility in the Emperor's Hammer to meet the upcoming rebel encounters. Consequently, Squadron Commanders will have to meet the following minimum skill levels: Training Patches in ALL fighter craft Gold Combat Medallions in ALL fighter craft Rank of Colonel Medals for completed Battle Nos. 1 through 7 Member of Inner Circle of Emperor's Secret Order 500,000 points 250 kills Please submit *.trf files by AOL E-Mail to the Wing Commander (W Call @ AOL.com) for verification. Please note that since this unit is comprised of volunteer forces, the Squadron Commander positions will be filled upon first request. In a case of two applicants of equal ability requesting the same position, the Wing Commander will arbitrate the decision following petition by both candidates. As stated above, Squadron Commanders will form their own units. However, since this is an elite unit, the following are recommended guidelines: Flight Leader Training Patches in ALL fighter craft Gold Combat Medallions in all fighter craft but the TIE Defender and Missile Boat (Bronze or Silver) Rank of Commander Medals for completed Battle Nos. 1 through 7 Member of 3rd Circle of Emperor's Secret Order 250,000 points 150 kills Flight Member Training Patches in all fighter craft but Missile Boat Silver or Gold Combat Medallions in all fighter craft but the TIE Defender and Missile Boat Rank of Lieutenant Medals for completed Battle Nos. 1 through 7 Member of 1st Circle of Emperor's Secret Order 100,000 points 50 kills WING STRUCTURE The following presents the standard command structure for the Emperor's Hammer of the Imperial Class Star Destroyer Avenger: EMPEROR'S HAMMER (72 TIE Fighter complement) COMMANDER: General William "Ronin" Call ALPHA SQUADRON - Command Squadron (3 flights = 12 TIEs) COMMANDER: General William "Ronin" Call (TIE Defender) SHIP TYPES: TIE Defender, TIE Missile Boat, TIE Advanced PURPOSE: Command/Strike BETA SQUADRON - Elite Strike Squadron (3 flights = 12 TIEs) COMMANDER: To be assigned SHIP TYPES: (2) TIE Defender and TIE Missile Boat PURPOSE: Deep Strike, Interdiction and Special Operations GAMMA SQUADRON - Close Support Squadron (3 flights = 12 TIEs) COMMANDER: To be assigned SHIP TYPES: (3) TIE Missile Boat PURPOSE: Close Support, Long Range/Capital Ship Interdiction DELTA SQUADRON - Recon Squadron (3 flights = 12 TIEs) COMMANDER: To be assigned SHIP TYPES: (3) TIE Defender PURPOSE: Deep Recon/Strike EPSILON SQUADRON - Strike Squadron (3 flights = 12 TIEs) COMMANDER: To be assigned SHIP TYPES: TIE Defender, TIE Advanced, TIE Bomber PURPOSE: Strike, Defense and Interdiction LAMBDA SQUADRON - Strike Squadron (3 flights = 12 TIEs) COMMANDER: To be assigned SHIP TYPES: TIE Defender, TIE Advanced, TIE Bomber PURPOSE: Strike, Defense and Interdiction IMPERIAL STAR DESTROYER AVENGER The Avenger is a member of the Imperial Class Star Destroyers. The Imperial Class has been developed as a replacement for the obsolete Victory Class which was produced during the Clone Wars. Unlike the Victory Class, which was designed for planetary defense, assault and ground troop support, the Imperial class is designed for primarily ship to ship combat. The Imperial Class Star Destroyer possesses enough firepower to reduce entire fleets and planets to their knees. Although the Empire wields a great weapon with the Imperials, their presence alone is generally sufficient to accomplish the assigned task. The costs to build and maintain these behemoths rival the GNP of most star systems. The Avenger has had a long and valorous history. It has been involved in more than 450 missions since its commissioning. The Avenger is currently assigned to Lord Vader's personal Strike Force consisting of the Executor, Devastator and two classified vessels. It is commonly rumored that these two vessels are Imperial Class Star Destroyers in appearance, but they are not so by design. Following destruction of the Rebel TIE Defender manufacturing facility and the retreat of Admiral Zaarin, newly promoted Grand Admiral Thrawn has ordered that the Avenger undero retrofit and retraining. The Emperor, Lord Vader and Grand Admiral Thrawn have ordered the commissioning of the Emperor's Hammer as an elite rapid strike and interdiction force to counter expected assaults by former Admiral Zaarin and his remaining forces. As an interesting side note, the Avenger has apparently had eight captains over the last two years. (NL 1 highlights: EH is created by Emperor Palpatine. GN Ronin is named Wing Commander of ISD Avenger. Membership: 1 as of 12/30/94.) The first to join was GN Peter Papp, soon followed by GN Cli4ord, who became squadron commanders.

  • Joining the Evil Galactic Empire a Review of Star Wars: Tie Fighter by Brennan Movius STS 145
    Joining the Evil Galactic Empire A Review of Star Wars: Tie Fighter By Brennan Movius STS 145 Publisher: LucasArts Project Leads and Design: Lawrence Holland and Edward Kilham Very Special Thanks: George Lucas “The Emperor welcomes you intohis Imperial Fleet.. ..” As soon as I read those first words in ‘Tie Fighter’s Starfghter Pilot Manual, I was hooked. Fresh off the experience of ‘X-Wing’ ’, I was ready for its sequel. And with ‘Tie Fighter’,LucasArts promised to delivera very different gaming experience. While previously my exploits in the Star Wars universe had been limited to the perspective of the benevolent Rebel Alliance, this time, I was joining the ranks of the Evil Galactic Empire. And I was very excited to finally be playing the role of a bad-guy. So much so, in fact, that not ten seconds into the opening crawl I had already embraced the Empire’s ‘proactive’ stance on Galactic defense. And while it’s important to realize that there are two sides to every conflict (the Empire can’tbe all bad, can it?), somehow I sensed that my concerns we no longer with the unalienable rights of the galactic inhabitants. My allegiance was to law and order now and the Rebels,I was told, were tryingto undermine it. So let’s crush that traitorous Rebel scum! Serve the Emperor! Building on a Giant When LucasArts went about creating ‘Tie Fighter’ (the definitive, single-player, space- combat simulator) they had the enormous success of ‘X-Wing’ to build on. Indeed, ‘X- Wing’ combined many features that have now become standardon like-genre games, like pre-renderedcut-scenes, multiple crafts and weapons, 3D shadedgraphics, mission objectives, and in-game training.

  • World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WEBDAV): an Introduction1
    World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WEBDAV): An Introduction1 E. James Whitehead, Jr. Dept. of Information and Computer Science University of California, Irvine Irvine, CA 92697-3425 Email: [email protected] Phone: (714) 824-4121 Fax: (714) 824-1715 1.0 Introduction Today the typical use of the World Wide Web is to browse information in a largely read- only manner. However, this was not the original conception of the Web; as early as 1990, a prototype Web editor and browser was operational on the Next platform, demonstrating how Web content could be read and written. Unfortunately, most of the world never saw this editor/browser, instead developing their view of the Web from the widely distributed text-based line mode browser. When NCSA Mosaic was developed, it improved the line mode browser by adding a graphical user interface and inline images, but had no provision for editing. As Mosaic 2.4 reached critical mass in 1993-4, “publish/browse” became the dominant model for the Web. However, the original view of the Web as a readable and writable collaborative medium was not lost. In 1995 two browser/editor products were released: NaviPress by NaviSoft and FrontPage by Vermeer. These products began developing a market for authoring tools which allow a user to edit HyperText Markup Language (HTML) [Ragg97] pages remotely, taking advantage of the ability to work at a distance over the Internet. In early 1996, NaviSoft and Vermeer were purchased by America Online and Microsoft respec- tively, presaging major corporate interest in Web distributed authoring technology.

  • Letter-Sized Diskwar Rul Copy 1
    What do I need to play L5R Diskwars? To play L5R Diskwars, you will need an Army of Disks and one or more other players to battle against. We recommend that each player purchase a L5R Diskwars Army Set. If this is not possible, you can split the number of Disks contained in one Army Set into two smaller Armies and play a series of very small battles. It is also a good idea to acquire a ruler for measuring purposes. If one is not available, you can cut out the ruler that is printed on the bottom of this rulesheet. Winning the Game L5R Diskwars is played by using different scenarios, each with its own victory conditions. We have included several such scenarios at the end of these rules, and encourage you to make up your own scenarios as well. Anatomy of the Disks There are four types of Disks in L5R Diskwars. 1) Stronghold Disks Stronghold Disks are the largest disks in L5R Diskwars, and represent the home of your Clan. A Player may may Activate the ability on his Stronghold only if at least 75% of the points that he spent on Units and Items are disks from that Stronghold and Clan.
