 “Don’t call me blue…”

[https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/TIE_Corps_rank_system#COL Colonel] Jagged Fell III is currently the Commander of [[Typhoon Squadron]], onboard the [[Challenge | ISD-II Challenge]]. And he is an Assistant to the Tactical Officer. He is also a [[Rear_Admiral_(Emperor%27s_Hammer) | Rear Admiral]] and the [[Command_Attache | Command Attache]] to the [[Tactical_Officer | Tactical Officer]].

==Background==

Born on [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Nirauan/Legends Nirauan], in [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/7_ABY/Legends 7 ABY], to a male Imperial TIE pilot and a female [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Chiss/Legends Chiss] weapons officer. Jagged was named in honor of the recently born son of the ruling [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Soontir_Fel/Legends Baron] of the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Empire_of_the_Hand Empire of the Hand], to whom Jagged’s father was related by marriage.

Jagged adored his mother, even though her purity focused family never fully accepted him due to his mixed heritage. His brown hair instantly marked him as other from the blue-black hair of full blood Chiss. Nevertheless, Jagged’s mother would take him on journeys into [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Unknown_Regions The Chaos] to experience the life in those regions, also teaching him several of the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Trade_languages trade languages] of the region.

The death of [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo/Legends Grand Admiral Mitth’raw’nuruodo] when Jagged was only [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/9_ABY/Legends 2 years] old rocked the social order of the Empire of the Hand for years to come. None in the top leadership believed Thrawn had truly died and thought it was just another of his opaque strategies. He had predicted that he would return to them [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/19_ABY/Legends ten years] after his reported death. The whole of the Empire focused on the tasks he had set out for it while they waited.

Their waiting came to an end abruptly and tragically for Jagged. [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Luke_Skywalker/Legends Luke Skywalker] and [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mara_Jade_Skywalker Mara Jade] found the Empire of the Hand that year. During their escape from capture, Mara Jade crashed her Luxury Yacht, [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jade%27s_Fire Jade’s Fire], into the hanger complex on Nirauan. Unfortunately, Jagged’s mother was serving a rotation as quarter master in the hanger that month and died in the assault.

This event forever altered Jagged’s life. He no longer believed in the invincibility of the Empire of the Hand and formed an abiding hatred for the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jedi/Legends Jedi] and the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/New_Republic/Legends New Republic] that they supported. His life also was forever altered by the fact his only parent now was his father, whom he privately believed to be a weak, facetious man.

When Jagged was [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/25_ABY/Legends eighteen years] old he entered the TIE Fighter Academy on Nirauan. He spent the next 4 years becoming more and more disillusioned with the Empire of the Hand as he saw them form alliances with the Jedi and the New Republic who he hated.

==Joining the TIE Corps and Typhoon Squadron==

On his graduation from the Academy when [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/29_ABY/Legends 22 years old] he immediately stole his [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TIE/d_%22Defender%22_Multi-Role_Starfighter TIE Defender] which he christened the [[Emperor's Hand|Emperor’s Hand]] and went in search of an Empire that would not fall under the influence of the New Republic and the hated Jedi.

It took Jagged 18 months of searching the outer reaches of the galaxy to find the Emperor’s Hammer and travel to Aurora to join the TIE Corps. But once he heard of the Hammer, he knew that he had finally found a home that would never bow to the force and will of the Republic.

After his initial on-boarding, he was assigned to Typhoon Squadron where he was further assigned to the third position of the third flight group. The fact that Jagged Fell III was flying in position 3-3 was too much of a coincidence for [[Master | General Master]] and he promptly dubbed Jagged “Three”. Jagged quickly found his home in the squadron and was an active presence in the squad room and went on to lead the squadron in points in the 2023 Raise the Flag competition that started just the day after he joined the squadron.

Later Jagged accepted the position of Flight Leader in Typhoon Squadron and remains in that position today. He was active in the SP Ace of the TIE Corps Competition, taking either 1st or 2nd place for the rest of ABY 31.

When early in ABY 32 the Emperor’s Hammer entered the Tkon Rift, Jagged volunteered as a wartime correspondent for the Imperial News Network, posting his daily reports about the events of the campaign, including several inspirational war posters.

==RtF Performance==

===2023===

After a short on-boarding process, Jagged threw himself into the competition with all he had. He eventually came out to be Typhoon Squadron’s top performer in the competition, placing 9th overall with a score of 2882. This made him the second highest scoring Lieutenant after the quickly becoming legendary [[Vanguard88 | Baron Vanguard88]]. During that month, Jagged flew 176 total missions from the EH compendium, submitted 20 memes to the TCCOM, submitted 2 terrible “artworks”, 60 Imperial University exams, and 2, prize-winning, fiction stories.

Both Jagged’s RtF fiction entries took 3rd in their respective rounds of competition. His first story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1694314445-8bc2cd16.pdf Typhoon Squadron: Into the Chaos], told the tale of a heroic battle engaged in by Typhoon Squadron over the world XC-50391-2. The story was told from the point-of-view of Typhoon Squadron’s intrepid leader [[Triji Boliv | Colonel Triji Boliv]]. His second story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1695481765-b83a230c.pdf Typhoon Squadron: Speaking Into the Chaos], was a less bombastic affair telling the tale of Jagged’s first few weeks in the squadron and his coming to realize this would be a good home for him.

The 60 Imperial University exams Jagged passed that month made him the single largest IU course taker for the month, with him alone accounting for 23.8% of all passed IU exams that month. Much to the begrudging annoyance of his squadron commander, who due to his role in the Training Office, had to grade many of them.

===2024===

Jagged came out swinging for RtF 2024, hoping to possibly snag a top 5 placing, he was quickly shown that this would not be in the cards for him. As the month wore on he slipped further down the leaderboard until he ended the month in 9th place, same as the previous year, with a final score of 3597. During the month Jagged flew a total of 408 total missions from the EH compendium, submitted 20 memes to the TCCOM, submitted 2 prize-winning, art pieces, 30 Imperial University exams, and 2, prize-winning, fiction stories.
[[Image:Final_Fell_2024_2.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>2024 Art Round 1</center>]]
Both Jagged’s RtF art entries took prizes, with the first being 4th and the second being 9th in their respective rounds of competition. Art entries also related to the stories that also won prizes, placing 5th in both rounds. His first story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1726025747-4d97b78d.pdf Liberation of the Rift], told the tale of him leading one of the opening assaults in the final liberation of the Tkon Rift from the Kilji and the start of the liberation of one of the Kilji held planets of the Rift. His second story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1727158584-83350831.pdf Deliverance of the Rift], was a direct continuation of the previous story telling the tale of the defense of an Imperial held world in the Rift from the Kilji counter-attack and the final destruction of the Kilji Command Ship above the last Kilji world in the Rift.
[[Image:Final_Fell_2024_4.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>2024 Art Round 2</center>]]

The 30 Imperial University exams Jagged passed that month made him the single largest IU course taker for the month, with him alone accounting for 12.7% of all passed IU exams that month.

===2025===

Once again Jagged came out strong, leading in the first few hours of the competition, trying to break his streak of only being in the top 10 but instead finish in the top 5. His strategy for this year was to focus on making the best art entries he could, and he succeeded in his goal having **BOTH** of his art entries taking first place. His first creation was a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvSaiY-LIQI video] that showed a New Republic convoy being ambushed by the Emperor's Hammer forces, flying their newly captured First Order craft. His [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKpwiQgY5yk second entry] was also a video, this time depicting the TIE Corps retreat from Jundaxa after the First Order's counterattack.

However, while his art entries did extremely well, even snagging him an Iron Star - Platinum Ribbon, his fiction entries ([https://tc.emperorshammer.org/view_fiction.php?id=524 1] & [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/view_fiction.php?id=553 2]) did not have the same resonance with the judges and as such he ended up **JUST** missing out on the 5th place finish by 35 points. He did however lead his squadron to a 3rd place finish, with a 100% participation rate for the competition.

==Mission Creation==

One of Jagged’s primary motivations to join the Emperor’s Hammer was to create custom missions for X-Wing Alliance, as it was the search for custom missions that led him to find the EH to begin with. Jagged started with the X-Wing book series that inspired him to pick the games up in the first place and started creating battles to adapt the Rogue Squadron books.

His first battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1479&type=info XWA-TC 70: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Borleias] was released approximately 3 months after he first joined the group with each subsequent battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1481&type=info XWA-TC 71: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Wedge's Stumble], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1482&type=info XWA-TC 72: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Krytos Opportunity], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1484&type=info XWA-TC 73: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Bacta War], releasing at approximately one month intervals.

After releasing these four battles covering the intial Stackpole novels he turned his attention to learning the new TIE Fighter Total Conversion mod for X-Wing Alliance and how to best make missions for the platform. He set about converting the 4 XWA battles he had made for the enhanced, modified game. All four battles have been remastered, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1487&type=info TFTC-TC 1: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Coruscant] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1490&type=info TFTC-TC 2: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Bacta War]. He has plans to make TFTC battles to cover the first 7 books of the X-Wing series, with a planned final total campaign of 37 or more missions. The first two Wraith Squadron battles, covering the first Wraith Squadron book, have been released, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1491&type=info TFTC-IW 1: Wraith Squadron: Part 1] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1495&type=info TFTC-IW 2: Wraith Squadron: Part 2].

He also has started to remaster some of his favorite battles from the XWA database, with the original authors permission. He has released a remaster of [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=520&type=info XWA-TC 14] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1496&type=info TFTC-TC 5: The History of the ISD Immortal], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=629&type=info XWA-TC 22] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1497&type=info TFTC-TC 6: The Career of AD Adrenaline], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=568&type=info XWA-F 29] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1503&type=info TFTC-F 4: Operation Takedown], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1250&type=info XWA-TC 52] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1501&type=info TFTC-TC 7: Rendezvous With Peril], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1218&type=info XWA-DB 9] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1509&type=info TFTC-DB 1: Heading for Pyrath], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1212&type=info XWA-DB 8] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1510&type=info TFTC-DB 2: Secret of Andevia], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1236&type=info XWA-F 125] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1512&type=info TFTC-F 6: Gilad's Birthday Party], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1211&type=info XWA-F 123] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1513&type=info TFTC-F 7: Drak's Night Out], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1234&type=info XWA-F 124] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1514&type=info TFTC-F 8: Procure the Seraph], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=900&type=info XWA-CAB 4] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1509&type=info TFTC-TC 8: The Warrior's Dance], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=634&type=info XWA-TC 24] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1517&type=info TFTC-TC 9: The History of the SSSD Sovereign], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=672&type=info XWA-FCHG 3] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1518&type=info TFTC-TC 10: Ronin's Deception], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=590&type=info XWA-FCHG 1] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1527&type=info TFTC-TC 14: Race Through Time], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=830&type=info XWA-IW 7] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1509&type=info TFTC-IW 3: The Valiant and the Immortal], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=830&type=info XWA-IW 7 alternate ending] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1523&type=info TFTC-F 9: The Wrong Side].

While also working on his larger battles Jagged also has released several Free Battles to capture things happening in the Squadron at the time. The first was [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1480&type=info XWA-F 162: An Excellent E-Wing Demonstration] which is a mission designed to make use of the E-Wing patch that had been made for XWA years previously, but never utilized, much to the disappointment of several within Typhoon Squadron at the time. The second Free he made, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1489&type=info TFTC-F 1: A Changing of the Guard], was to celebrate the retirement of [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Stryker AD Stryker] and the elevation of [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Locke_Setzer VA Locke Setzer] as BGCOM for Battlegroup III. And he has released a quick challenge mission where the goal is to get through a maze as fast as possible, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1492&type=info TFTC-F 2: An aMAZEing Mission]. Also, upon assent to being the Commander of Typhoon Squadron he made a free to fictionalize his being asked to take the role [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1502&type=info TFTC-F 3: To B Free].

For the finale of the TIE Corps Wide Imperial Storm VII competition the Tactical Office, led by Jagged, developed an "EH Canon" mission where the TIE Corps is capturing the First Order's Fuel Depot above Zephyron. Jagged wrote and made the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1507&type=info TFTC] version of the mission and then converted it into base [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1506&type=info XWA]. At the same time the other members of the TAC Office converted the TFTC mission into [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1508&type=info X-Wing], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1504&type=info TIE Fighter], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1505&type=info X-Wing vs TIE Fighter] so that the mission could be played on all platforms the EH supports.

For the kickoff of the TIE Corps Wide Imperial Storm VIII competition Jagged, developed an "EH Canon" mission where the TIE Corps is performing an information raid on a First Order platform, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1549&type=info TFTC-F 10: Imperial Storm VIII: Information Raid].

In the midst of these other mission creation efforts Jagged also released two battles inspired by the events of Imperial Storm VI. The first was a "what-if" inspired by the outlandish comments of GN Master in Typhoon chat, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1519&type=info TFTC-TC 11: The Master Plan]. The second was a "true" retelling of the events of the first major battle of IS6, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1521&type=info TFTC-TC 13: The Hammer Falls].

He also made his fiction entries from RtF 2024 into a full battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1546&type=info TFTC-TC 15: Liberation of the Rift].

In 2025, the Tactical Office ran a battle design competition and Jagged won with his 2025 ReMob battle detailing a BG3 ship being thrown into the distant past and their efforts to repair the timeline and make their way back home, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1520&type=info TFTC-TC 12: Out of Time: Far From Home].

Typhoon Squadron is a [[Squadron Objectives|VIP Escort]] squadron attached to [[Wing X]] of the [[ISD Challenge]]. Having been closed since 2009, it was re-opened on April 17, 2023 as part of the Battlegroup Expansion that saw the traditional Infiltrator Wing squadrons moved off of the Challenge and back onboard the [[Renegade (ship) | MC90 Renegade]].

==History==

===Origins===
Typhoon Squadron was originally opened around December 1995, initially onboard the [[Ravager | VSD Ravager]] along with [[Thunder Squadron]], before being relocated to the [[Challenge | ISD Challenge]] and the newly opened Wing V (soon to be renamed to [[Wing X]]) around January 1996, alongside the other traditional squadrons of the ship: [[Inferno Squadron]], [[Tornado Squadron]], [[Cyclone Squadron]], and [[Tempest Squadron]]. Its original designated squadron objective was [[Squadron_Objectives#Long_Range_Support | Long Range Support]].

GN Weston is recorded as its first commander. Other early commanders include BG Ace, BG Jim Hutchinson, BG Ice, and GN Big Earl.

===Rise to Prominence===

Going into February 1998, Typhoon Squadron was commanded by BG IG-88. But his command was taken away from him as an outcome of a case against him held by the [[High Court of Inquisitors]]. His replacement was a member of [[Cyclone Squadron]], BG Maverick.

Maverick's appointment marked the beginning of Typhoon's rise as one of the preeminent squadrons in the [[TIE Corps]], most notably aided by the arrival of the most prominent pilot in Typhoon's history: [[Callista]]. A talented and active pilot from the start, Callista was soon officially appointed [[Flight Leader]] of Flight 2. Unofficially, she also served as the squadron's training officer, responsible for helping new arrivals find their place, as well as coaching up her fellow squadron members on best tips and tricks for maximizing performance in competitions.

Upon Maverick's appointment as the new [[Wing Commander]] for [[Wing X]], Callista was appointed as the new [[Squadron Commander]] of Typhoon, kicking off a two-year stint that would long be remembered as the golden age of the squadron. Callista led the squadron into a new era of dominance, fostering a culture of highly competitive pilots that were proud to be members of such a successful squadron, and were not shy about sharing that opinion with others.

One of the many competitions won during this era included "Cantina Run II", which awarded the victorious squadron the new role of [[Squadron_Objectives#VIP_Escort | VIP Escort]]. Typhoon has remained in this designation ever since, a fitting honor to the pilots of Typhoon Squadron from this era, and one that continues to inspire and push future generations of the squadron to live up to their example.

This era was also noted for a number of shore leave excursions (''in-person meetings'') organized by Callista, which were infamous to both attendees and those who only heard the tales second or third hand.

During this time, Typhoon was home to many of the soon-to-be legends of the Challenge, such as [[Mell]], [[Oldham]], [[Domi]], and, later on, [[Elwood the Brave]].

A month after reaching her two year point, having just been awarded BGCOM Pilot of the Year, Callista opted to step down from her position. She left the position having accomplished everything a squadron commander and pilot could possibly do, including being awarded the [[Medal of Honor]]. She left behind a legacy, an active squadron, and an enormous shadow over future commanders who would try to take her place.

===Post-Callista Era===

[[Daisuke Airyu]], a member of [[Cyclone Squadron]], was tasked with filling the enormous void left in the wake of [[Callista | Callista's]] departure. A well-liked officer among members of the [[Challenge]] and the fleet at large, he nevertheless struggled to keep many of the Typhoon stalwarts, who bristled at the commander of an outsider. Changing the long-standing Typhoon Flight 1 nickname to a personal preference over something of historical significance did not endear him to the old guard, and the level of activity and performance slipped from the standards of old.

By the time of his departure, the squadron had dropped off dramatically. Charged with resuscitating Typhoon Squadron was [[Commander]] [[Triji Boliv]] of [[Inferno Squadron]]. Aided in this effort was an influx of Typhoon veterans, including a return of Callista herself. This created an immediate boost to squadron performance and morale, but it was a short-term fix, as soon many of those veterans became disinterested in returning to service on a regular basis.

Faced with a decision to leave or institute dramatic change, Boliv opted for the latter, ultimately removing many of the inactive veterans, but providing opportunity for new, enthusiastic pilots to rise to the occasion. It was during this period that [[Coranel Both]] and [[Ponda Jarret]] served as [[Flight Leader | Flight Leaders]] for the squadron. And some old-timers did remain, such as [[Elwood the Brave]], who continued to provide a stabilizing force to the squadron.

Promoted up to [[Lieutenant Colonel]] for his success in steadying Typhoon, Boliv decided to step away, leaving his unofficial executive officer Ponda Jarret to take over the squadron. But this period of relative stability was soon to be revealed as a temporary respite.

===Closure===

[[Ponda Jarret]] was tasked with commanding Typhoon at a time that would later be seen as the start of a relative decline for the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. The squadron was stable but slowly decreased in size and prominence. He was promoted up to [[Major]] for his service to the squadron, but after six months opted to return to a position of [[Flight Member]] in the squadron. His replacement from within the squadron, [[Captain]] [[Badlan]], served three months before leaving the fleet.

Typhoon found itself with significantly diminished numbers, and in danger of closure. In an effort to save the squadron, [[Wing Commander]] [[Sephiroth]] turned to its longest standing member, [[Commander]] [[Elwood the Brave]].

It was a wise choice, but the time of decline was well-upon the fleet. There were no new cadets coming in, and the veterans that had once raised the squadron back up did not return the call a second time. There were no easy solutions, and neither Sephiroth, now [[Rear Admiral]] and [[Commodore]], nor his replacement, [[Major]] [[Frey Gallandro]], could offer Elwood any solutions.

In time, Elwood found himself the only member left of Typhoon Squadron. With no options left, Elwood transferred to [[Inferno Squadron]]. In honor of his long-time service, Rear Admiral Sephiroth promoted him to [[Major]].

Typhoon Squadron, however, found itself closed for the first time.

===Return and New Glories===

Squadron closures had become a normal reality during this era of the [[Emperor's Hammer]], but something far worse was about to strike: ship closures. The [[Challenge]], even with a closed squadron, was in a relatively healthy state compared to other ships in the fleet. The same could not be said for the [[Immortal]], which had seen a regular rotation of [[Squadron Commander]] vacancies and suffered its own squadron closures.

The decision was made to close [[Wing XI]], and move any remaining pilots to different squadrons on other ships. As the commander of one of the remaining active squadrons, [[Ghost Squadron]], [[Commander]] [[Coranel Both]] was given the choice to move his pilots to any other squadron in the fleet. His choice was clear: Typhoon Squadron.

And so Typhoon Squadron was reopened, populated by members of the shuttered Ghost Squadron. Seemingly overnight, Typhoon went from being mothballed to suddenly becoming one of the most active squadrons on the ship, given new life by the newest arrivals to the Challenge.

Replacing Coranel Both after he stepped aside from the position was [[Commander]] [[DirtyVader]], another veteran of Ghost Squadron and future Challenge legend in his own right. DirtyVader commanded the squad for the remainder of the year, before briefly stepping aside, only to turn around and take over [[Inferno Squadron]] while the job opening for Typhoon was still open, effectively swapping commands.

In his place, [[Captain]] [[Fritz Von Stukart]], a veteran of [[Thunder Squadron]], was appointed as the new Typhoon Squadron commander. During this period, Typhoon benefited from the arrival of both veterans (such as [[Colonel]] [[George]] and [[Commander]] [[TK-9780]]) and new cadets (such as [[Lieutenant]] [[Katherine Cantor Flyer]]) that brought Typhoon's activity level to incredible heights for the era, and saw the squadron return to a full roster for the first time since [[Callista | Callista's]] time.

So successful was the squadron that was decided to leverage their good fortune to improve the [[Challenge]] as a whole. In order to reopen [[Cyclone Squadron]], Typhoon was split into two, with newly-promoted [[Commander]] Kate Flyer being assigned as the new Cyclone squadron commander over her band of now ex-Typhoon pilots.

[[Major]] [[Fritz Von Stukart]] retired, leaving command to long-time [[Tempest Squadron]] veteran [[Commander]] [[Prost Varsis]].

===Second Closure===
After nearly a year of service as [[Squadron Commander]] of Typhoon, [[Prost Varsis]] was promoted to [[Major]] and moved on to a quasi-retirement position as a [[Flight Member]] in [[Inferno Squadron]].

Subsequent commanders after his time include [[Commander]] [[Rondo]] and [[Commander]] [[Saul Rostek]].

Some say these days were the darkest in the history of the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. Nevertheless, Typhoon benefited greatly during this time from the veteran leadership of some of its oldest pilots. [[Major]] [[Elwood the Brave]] was again called to take up the commander position, leading Typhoon Squadron once again. After seven months of service, he stepped aside and was replaced by yet another long-standing [[Challenge]] veteran: [[Colonel]] [[Domi]]. Domi would serve as commander of Typhoon Squadron for four months, until his elevation to the [[Wing Commander]] position of [[Wing X]]. Replacing him was once again [[Elwood the Brave]], who would serve in the position for the next fifteen months.

These two leaders would guide Typhoon Squadron and the [[Challenge]] herself through what many thought might be its final days. Try as they might, they could not stop the forces of fate working against them. Typhoon Squadron closed, and soon after it, so did Wing X. The Challenge was mothballed, with the hope that it might one day soar through space again.

===Second Return===

In June 2020, the [[Challenge]] was retrofitted, restored, and returned to active service. Given a new mission that now involved housing squadrons of the [[Infiltrator Wing]], only [[Thunder Squadron]], [[Tempest Squadron]], and [[Inferno Squadron]] were originally restored, with Inferno Squadron being deactivated not long after its initial reopening.

On April 17, 2023, [[High Admiral]] [[Plif]] implemented a Battlegroup Expansion that saw the Infiltrator Wing squadrons moved off of the Challenge and back onboard the [[MC90 Renegade]], under [[Wing XXII]]. Rather than move to the Renegade, [[Colonel]] [[Triji Boliv]] and the members of [[Firebird Squadron]] Flight I requested the opportunity to stay onboard the Challenge. As a result, [[Typhoon Squadron]] was reopened, with Triji Boliv giving up command of Firebird Squadron and assuming control of the very first squadron he ever commanded.

Now Typhoon Squadron flies again, ready for whatever challenge fate has in store for it!

Tactical Manual: Cheating policy

2026-06-01T04:28:16Z

Jaggedfelliii: /* Configuration File Editing */

{{Tactical Manual}}
==Introduction==
Each club has its good and its bad sides, and the EH is no different. Like in any club where pilots compete, there is certain amount of black sheep pilots, who try to get an unfair advantage over the others. Those who try to get an unfair advantage in missions and battles are called cheaters. It is one of Tactical Officer's core duties to hunt them down and bring them to justice.
Thankfully, the vast majority of pilots in the TIE Corps are honorable and would not stoop to cheating to try and get better results in competitions. Nevertheless, there are the few who will attempt such actions and the TIE Corps has a very strict policy on it. Review this policy carefully so you are aware what is and isn't acceptable.

==Specific Policies==
===Invulnerability, unlimited ammo and unlimited waves===
Using the Invulnerability, Unlimited Weapons, or Unlimited Waves option in your game is NOT considered cheating. Keep in mind that if you do use either, your score is automatically deducted 90% by the game, and in X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, it will simply give you a score of 0 for the mission flown. In X-Wing Alliance (and its derivatives), Unlimited Weapons doesn't reduce your score.

In X-Wing, using cheats gives you an unchanged score on the post-mission debrief. However, nothing is saved in the pilot file. For this reason, you will not be able to use cheats if the battle is set up as a Tour of Duty as you cannot progress to the next mission. Also, as the scores are not saved in the pilot file they cannot be considered for high score credit.

===Randomize===
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, Balance of Power and X-Wing Alliance allow playing random missions. However turning randomization on will change the parameters of the mission, changing ships and fighters, what causes different scores. Some pilots may try to use randomization in order to gain an unfair advantage over the others.

Tactical Office rules do not allow pilot files with random option turned on to be submitted for approval. While single submission by mistake is not considered cheating, multiple submissions from pilot who is aware of this rule, will be considered cheating and will be punished accordingly.

===Trainers===
Using a game trainer, an external program that works with the game and that would give you an unfair advantage, is strictly prohibited.

===Editing missions===
Editing official battles and missions in any way is strictly forbidden. Do not use any mission editor or hex-editor to modify any part of a mission that you download from the Mission Compendium. If the battle or free mission that you are playing has a mission critical bug in it that will not allow you to proceed in the game, do not change the mission to fix it. Even if your intentions are good, you may accidentally modify the mission in a way that it allows you to achieve a higher score, thus giving you an unfair advantage over the other pilots. Instead, file a Bug Report on the battle or mission. In the meantime, the Mission Compendium is home to over 4,300 missions that you can fly.

===Skipping missions===
You are not allowed to skip a mission in a battle whatever the reason is. All missions of a battle must be completed. You are not to use the in-game 'skipping mission' option of X-Wing Alliance. If you encounter a battle that has a fatal bug in it that prevents you from playing the rest of the battle, you cannot edit your pilot file to skip the mission. If you encounter a fatal bug, fill out a Bug Report on the Battle Center to explain why you could not finish a mission, and save a backup of your pilot file so you can finish the battle after it has been repaired.

Skipping missions may lead to have the battle removed from your combat profile.

===Pilot file editing===
Some pilots may try to use a pilot editor or hex-editor to add points, kills or captures to their pilot file. Editing pilot files under any circumstances is strictly forbidden. There is no reason to ever edit a pilot file except to skip a mission. However, as stated before, skipping missions is not allowed and may result in removal of the entry from your combat record.

===Patches===
Some of the battles and missions in the Mission Compendium require you to patch your game to add a new custom starfighter for you to fly. You are NOT required to patch your game. Most missions will continue to work without the patch, though the difficulty could be significantly increased as a result. If the mission is impossible to win because the patch is required to play it, then you will have to skip playing the mission. If the mission is playable, it is not considered cheating to play the mission through with an unpatched game.

You should immediately remove the starfighter patch to return your gaming platform to its original state as soon as you complete the custom mission that requires it. Ship patches can change your craft's speed, shields and weapons, making it possible to be almost totally invulnerable, giving you an unfair advantage in missions that don't use the patch. In addition to this, they can change other ships too, rendering some missions impossible to complete.

This is why it's important that you always remove any starfighter patches from your games after you complete the battle the patch was used for. If you have accidentally played and completed a battle or free mission using patched starfighters and have submitted it to the BSF System for review, you should immediately contact the Tactical Office directly and CC your superior officer, explaining that the pilot file you sent should be ignored until you can re-fly it using a non-modified platform.

This rule applies to starfighter patches only. This does NOT apply to game platform updates such as the TIE95 ISD Laser Patch or the XWA S-Foils patch.

===Shooting your own ships===
Contrary to some pilots' beliefs, it is NOT forbidden to shoot at your own friendly ships in a mission as a tactic to get higher points.

===Killing your own ships===
While shooting at your own ships is not a forbidden practice, killing your own ships is considered cheating by the Tactical Office. While you do lose 10,000 points in TIE Fighter when you destroy a friendly craft, it is possible in some missions (that have many Star Destroyers or other large capital ships) to offset this deduction and gain a large amount of points. This applies to Imperial craft only, not to Neutral or Rebel ships.

Accidentally killing a wingman or two that got in the way of your laser cannons is tolerated. "Accidentally" killing a friendly Victory-Class Star Destroyer is not.

===Replaying missions===
If you want to achieve a higher score, you must replay the free mission or the entire battle on a fresh new pilot file. You cannot simply play only one mission of a battle and turn it in for a high score. Combat Chamber scores and High Score (.HGH) files will not be accepted or acknowledged.

The exception to the rule applies to Macintosh users only for TIE Fighter missions. If the only way to get the battle working is by playing it in the Combat Chamber, in which case the pilot is not eligible for high scores, but can still receive credit and FCHG points for completing the battle.

Another exception concerns the X-wing vs. TIE Fighter platform: as you can fly missions in any order, you can replay a single mission to achieve a higher score. Anyway, ALL missions of the battle must be completed on the pilot file submitted.

===Sharing pilot files===
You may not share pilot files between fellow pilots and allow another person to use your pilot file to receive credit for completing a battle or free mission. If pilot sharing is discovered, both parties involved are considered cheating. This includes pilot file sharing with yourself via a Flight Office approved clone.

===Beta testing pilot files===
Beta Testers may not turn in pilot files for high scores or for competitions of battles they have beta tested. Since beta tested battles go to the Tactical Officer for final review, the Tactical Officer could have made changes to the battle that could affect scoring. Beta Testers should delete their pilot files after playing the battle since only their Beta Test Reviews are necessary to receive credit for completing the battle.

===X-wing Alliance upgrade===
You are allowed to upgrade your game with the XWAU available from xwaupgrade.com. However, this upgrade makes considerable changes to the game which could give you an unfair advantage over other pilots, and therefore you are not allowed to submit a BSF that contains High Scores where XWAU has been used.

===Configuration File Editing===
With the introduction of TIE Fighter Total Conversion, both its Reimagined campaign and the EH made custom battles, and Embers of the Empire, a new opportunity to alter game files was introduced. Both TFTC and Embers use many "hooks" to add functionality to the old XWA game engine. These hooks are for the most part controlled via configuration files contained within the game directory.

These files are written for each custom EH TFTC battle and can be altered by a battle author in limited ways for use in their battle, but the battle must include a warning to players to restore the original configuration files after they have finished a custom battle.

All pilots should follow the instructions of an EH Battle's README and restore any baseline files that have been altered. Just like the need to uninstall ship patches after a battle that used them is completed you must restore your TFTC game back to its original state before flying a new Battle. Also like ship patches, if you have accidentally played and completed a battle or free mission using altered configuration files and have submitted it to the BSF system, you should immediately contact the Tactical Office directly and CC your superior officer, explaining that the pilot file you sent should be ignored until you can re-fly it using a non-modified platform.

Altering these files would allow the player to have a significantly unfair advantage over others using the baseline configurations. As such, an manual alteration of a configuration file by a pilot flying a battle for record is considered cheating and is prohibited.

===Consequences of cheating===
The Tactical Office has a zero tolerance policy for cheaters. If a pilot is caught cheating, the pilot (and all of the pilot's registered clones) will lose all of his high scores and FCHG points and will not be allowed to submit new high scores. His combat record will be erased, and the files related to the pilot's past record declared invalid for resubmission. The pilot will also be court-martialed by the High Court of Inquisitors and could face the mandatory sentence of a demotion to Sub-Lieutenant, loss of command position (if any), and loss of all medals. Repeat offenders may face expulsion from the Emperor's Hammer.

Tactical Manual: Cheating policy

If a pilot is caught cheating, the pilot (and all of the pilot's registered clones) will lose all of his high scores and FCHG points and will not be allowed to submit new high scores. His combat record will be erased, and the files related to the pilot's past record declared invalid for resubmission. The pilot will also be court-martialed by the High Court of Inquisitors and could face the mandatory sentence of a demotion to Sub-Lieutenant, loss of command position (if any), and loss of all medals. Repeat offenders may face expulsion from the Emperor's Hammer.

Tactical Manual: Cheating policy

Jaggedfelliii: /* Invulnerability, unlimited ammo and unlimited waves */

{{Tactical Manual}}
==Introduction==
Each club has its good and its bad sides, and the EH is no different. Like in any club where pilots compete, there is certain amount of black sheep pilots, who try to get an unfair advantage over the others. Those who try to get an unfair advantage in missions and battles are called cheaters. It is one of Tactical Officer's core duties to hunt them down and bring them to justice.
Thankfully, the vast majority of pilots in the TIE Corps are honorable and would not stoop to cheating to try and get better results in competitions. Nevertheless, there are the few who will attempt such actions and the TIE Corps has a very strict policy on it. Review this policy carefully so you are aware what is and isn't acceptable.

==Specific Policies==
===Invulnerability, unlimited ammo and unlimited waves===
Using the Invulnerability, Unlimited Weapons, or Unlimited Waves option in your game is NOT considered cheating. Keep in mind that if you do use either, your score is automatically deducted 90% by the game, and in X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, it will simply give you a score of 0 for the mission flown. In X-Wing Alliance (and its derivatives), Unlimited Weapons doesn't reduce your score.

In X-Wing, using cheats gives you an unchanged score on the post-mission debrief. However, nothing is saved in the pilot file. For this reason, you will not be able to use cheats if the battle is set up as a Tour of Duty as you cannot progress to the next mission. Also, as the scores are not saved in the pilot file they cannot be considered for high score credit.

===Randomize===
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, Balance of Power and X-Wing Alliance allow playing random missions. However turning randomization on will change the parameters of the mission, changing ships and fighters, what causes different scores. Some pilots may try to use randomization in order to gain an unfair advantage over the others.

Tactical Office rules do not allow pilot files with random option turned on to be submitted for approval. While single submission by mistake is not considered cheating, multiple submissions from pilot who is aware of this rule, will be considered cheating and will be punished accordingly.

===Trainers===
Using a game trainer, an external program that works with the game and that would give you an unfair advantage, is strictly prohibited.

===Editing missions===
Editing official battles and missions in any way is strictly forbidden. Do not use any mission editor or hex-editor to modify any part of a mission that you download from the Mission Compendium. If the battle or free mission that you are playing has a mission critical bug in it that will not allow you to proceed in the game, do not change the mission to fix it. Even if your intentions are good, you may accidentally modify the mission in a way that it allows you to achieve a higher score, thus giving you an unfair advantage over the other pilots. Instead, file a Bug Report on the battle or mission. In the meantime, the Mission Compendium is home to over 3,400 missions that you can fly.

===Skipping missions===
You are not allowed to skip a mission in a battle whatever the reason is. All missions of a battle must be completed. You are not to use the in-game 'skipping mission' option of X-Wing Alliance. If you encounter a battle that has a fatal bug in it that prevents you from playing the rest of the battle, you cannot edit your pilot file to skip the mission. If you encounter a fatal bug, fill out a Bug Report on the Battle Center to explain why you could not finish a mission, and save a backup of your pilot file so you can finish the battle after it has been repaired.

Skipping missions may lead to have the battle removed from your combat profile.

===Pilot file editing===
Some pilots may try to use a pilot editor or hex-editor to add points, kills or captures to their pilot file. Editing pilot files under any circumstances is strictly forbidden. There is no reason to ever edit a pilot file except to skip a mission. However, as stated before, skipping missions is not allowed and may result in removal of the entry from your combat record.

===Patches===
Some of the battles and missions in the Mission Compendium require you to patch your game to add a new custom starfighter for you to fly. You are NOT required to patch your game. Most missions will continue to work without the patch, though the difficulty could be significantly increased as a result. If the mission is impossible to win because the patch is required to play it, then you will have to skip playing the mission. If the mission is playable, it is not considered cheating to play the mission through with an unpatched game.

You should immediately remove the starfighter patch to return your gaming platform to its original state as soon as you complete the custom mission that requires it. Ship patches can change your craft's speed, shields and weapons, making it possible to be almost totally invulnerable, giving you an unfair advantage in missions that don't use the patch. In addition to this, they can change other ships too, rendering some missions impossible to complete.

This is why it's important that you always remove any starfighter patches from your games after you complete the battle the patch was used for. If you have accidentally played and completed a battle or free mission using patched starfighters and have submitted it to the BSF System for review, you should immediately contact the Tactical Office directly and CC your superior officer, explaining that the pilot file you sent should be ignored until you can re-fly it using a non-modified platform.

This rule applies to starfighter patches only. This does NOT apply to game platform updates such as the TIE95 ISD Laser Patch or the XWA S-Foils patch.

===Shooting your own ships===
Contrary to some pilots' beliefs, it is NOT forbidden to shoot at your own friendly ships in a mission as a tactic to get higher points.

===Killing your own ships===
While shooting at your own ships is not a forbidden practice, killing your own ships is considered cheating by the Tactical Office. While you do lose 10,000 points in TIE Fighter when you destroy a friendly craft, it is possible in some missions (that have many Star Destroyers or other large capital ships) to offset this deduction and gain a large amount of points. This applies to Imperial craft only, not to Neutral or Rebel ships.

Accidentally killing a wingman or two that got in the way of your laser cannons is tolerated. "Accidentally" killing a friendly Victory-Class Star Destroyer is not.

===Replaying missions===
If you want to achieve a higher score, you must replay the free mission or the entire battle on a fresh new pilot file. You cannot simply play only one mission of a battle and turn it in for a high score. Combat Chamber scores and High Score (.HGH) files will not be accepted or acknowledged.

The exception to the rule applies to Macintosh users only for TIE Fighter missions. If the only way to get the battle working is by playing it in the Combat Chamber, in which case the pilot is not eligible for high scores, but can still receive credit and FCHG points for completing the battle.

Another exception concerns the X-wing vs. TIE Fighter platform: as you can fly missions in any order, you can replay a single mission to achieve a higher score. Anyway, ALL missions of the battle must be completed on the pilot file submitted.

===Sharing pilot files===
You may not share pilot files between fellow pilots and allow another person to use your pilot file to receive credit for completing a battle or free mission. If pilot sharing is discovered, both parties involved are considered cheating. This includes pilot file sharing with yourself via a Flight Office approved clone.

===Beta testing pilot files===
Beta Testers may not turn in pilot files for high scores or for competitions of battles they have beta tested. Since beta tested battles go to the Tactical Officer for final review, the Tactical Officer could have made changes to the battle that could affect scoring. Beta Testers should delete their pilot files after playing the battle since only their Beta Test Reviews are necessary to receive credit for completing the battle.

===X-wing Alliance upgrade===
You are allowed to upgrade your game with the XWAU available from xwaupgrade.com. However, this upgrade makes considerable changes to the game which could give you an unfair advantage over other pilots, and therefore you are not allowed to submit a BSF that contains High Scores where XWAU has been used.

===Configuration File Editing===
With the introduction of TIE Fighter Total Conversion, both its Reimagined campaign and the EH made custom battles, a new opportunity to alter game files was introduced. TFTC uses many "hooks" to add functionality to the old XWA game engine. These hooks are for the most part controlled via configuration files contained within the game directory.

These files are written for each custom EH TFTC battle and can be altered by a battle author in limited ways for use in their battle, but the battle must include a warning to players to restore the original configuration files after they have finished a custom battle.

All pilots should follow the instructions of an EH Battle's README and restore any baseline files that have been altered. Just like the need to uninstall ship patches after a battle that used them is completed you must restore your TFTC game back to its original state before flying a new Battle. Also like ship patches, if you have accidentally played and completed a battle or free mission using altered configuration files and have submitted it to the BSF system, you should immediately contact the Tactical Office directly and CC your superior officer, explaining that the pilot file you sent should be ignored until you can re-fly it using a non-modified platform.

Altering these files would allow the player to have a significantly unfair advantage over others using the baseline configurations. As such, an manual alteration of a configuration file by a pilot flying a battle for record is considered cheating and is prohibited.

===Consequences of cheating===
The Tactical Office has a zero tolerance policy for cheaters. If a pilot is caught cheating, the pilot (and all of the pilot's registered clones) will lose all of his high scores and FCHG points and will not be allowed to submit new high scores. His combat record will be erased, and the files related to the pilot's past record declared invalid for resubmission. The pilot will also be court-martialed by the High Court of Inquisitors and could face the mandatory sentence of a demotion to Sub-Lieutenant, loss of command position (if any), and loss of all medals. Repeat offenders may face expulsion from the Emperor's Hammer.

Tactical Manual: Bugs and problems

Jaggedfelliii: /* Patches */

{{Tactical Manual}}
==Introduction==
If you happen to encounter a battle or free mission that has bugs, do not attempt to correct it on your own (see the Cheating Policy). Only members of the Tactical Office staff are authorized to fix bugs in official missions.

Instead, you can fill out a Bug Report for the battle. Access the Mission Compendium and bring up the profile of the faulty battle. Click "Submit Bug Report" and fill out the necessary information. Even if someone else has posted a bug report about the same problem, report the bug anyway. Keep in mind that you must fly the mission without using Invulnerability/Unlimited Ammo (TIE/XWA/TFTC/Embers) or Unlimited Waves (XvT/BoP) to post a legal bug report. If you encounter a problem with mission and you use "cheats", turn them off and try again. This will prevent you from posting bug reports caused only by "cheats".

After reporting the bug, you have to hold off completing the battle until after the bugs have been fixed. Note that all missions have been completed at one time or another and you may have just misunderstood the mission objectives; the 'bug' you have encountered may be linked to the fact you haven't completed the mission the way it has to be.

Authors of an official battle or free mission may submit to the Tactical Officer an updated version of their work at any time, if it fits the following conditions:

*The latest bug corrections brought by the Tactical Staff must be taken into account;
*The maximum reachable score cannot be lower than in the original mission, to prevent unreachable High Scores to occur.

==Fatal bugs==
Fatal bugs are those which prevent the tester or player from successfully completing the mission. There are many different types of fatal bugs:

*'''Ship crashes:''' These are major bugs, but there are two exceptions:
**If author wanted to have it this way
**If it's random crash (sometimes fighters may crash with capital ship)
*'''Violation of the craft limit:''' Every platform has craft limit. If violated, it can cause unexpected results. If the mission you test is acting weird, then you can check it with mission editor and see what's going on.
*'''Errors in mission goals:''' These are serious bugs. Mission goals should always be clear and you should be able to achieve them. This applies to bonus goals as well.
*'''EH Command Staff events:''' These guys and girls cannot die. They can be captured, attacked or any other thing can happen to them, but they cannot die. Better kill some no-name admiral.
*'''Everything else:''' Use your best judgment. Ask your superior.

Missions with fatal bugs should never come through beta testing system and if you encounter a fatal bug in the EH Mission Compendium, report it immediately and some tester will get his butt kicked.

==Spelling and grammar mistakes==
Spelling mistakes are not fatal bugs and you may encounter many of them in the EH Mission Compendium. While generally they should be caught by the beta testers, you must understand that this club is international. Although English is the official language of the Emperor's Hammer, some of the pilots do not know the language perfectly and they can often miss the spelling bugs while they test.

==Reinforcements==
Lack of reinforcements is not a bug, however it is good for every battle to have them. Not every pilot is a Top Gun.

==Patches==
In the absence of a Science Officer, all problems with patches should be reported to the Tactical Officer as he is the one who manages/updates them. Problem with patches will usually result in a game crash.

Before going directly to TAC, you should first verify if the patch is properly installed in your game. Try installing it again, and if all of your attempts fail, contact TAC.

Also, make sure that when you install the game to select full/complete install. It has been known that some patches need to have it on the complete install, not minimum to work.

Tactical Manual: Games, updates and patches

2026-06-01T04:17:18Z

Jaggedfelliii: /* Embers of the Empire */

{{Tactical Manual}}
==In general==
Games used by Emperor's Hammer and its Subgroups are not perfect. While the often offer a very good graphic engine, they usually lack in number of built-in vessels. That is why the Science Office provides us with a large assortment of craft to use outside of that the games themselves offer us.

A patch is a small piece of software that updates the EH official platform by adding a new ship or fighter. In order to avoid troubles with international laws and copyrights only EH approved patches (those you can download from EH Science Office webpage) and EH approved Total Conversions/Mods can be used in EH approved battles. Using a third source patch, not approved by the Science Office will result in submission rejection.

There are two kinds of patches in the archives. Normal patches use common slots (in other words many patches use the same slot) and they should be installed only in order to complete the battle/mission in question. Those patches should be uninstalled when they are not needed.

The second kind is the Ship Patch. Those patches do not have to be uninstalled and they can be kept permanently installed.

There are also game updates released by both the Science Office and LucasArts. Those updates are required and should be applied to the games and kept installed permanently (they usually cannot be uninstalled).

==Installing patches==
To install a patch, download the patch for the appropriate platform from the Science Office website. The battle's page in the Mission Compendium provides you with a direct link to the .ZIP file.

Once downloaded, extract the archive. this will create a directory called EHPatch. You must copy this directory directly to your game directory.

Next, start the Super XP Installer provided by the Science Office, and click on the button that matches the game which you are installing a patch for. This will display a list of all the .BAT files found for that game. For each patch, you will find two batch files: one to install, and one to remove. Click the .BAT file of the patch you wish to install, and click the 'Run' button. Repeat this process if you need to install more than one patch.

*You can find the XP Installer [http://sco.emperorshammer.net/files/XPInstaller.zip here].
*You can find the Super XP Installer [http://sco.emperorshammer.net/files/superxpinstaller.zip here].

To uninstall a patch, you follow the same procedure, only you select the .BAT file for uninstalling the patch.

'''IMPORTANT:''' When you have installed more than one patch, it is very important to uninstall them in the reverse order that you installed them. So if you installed the TIE Dragon first, and then the DGN Lichtor V, you must uninstall the DGN Lichtor V first, and then the TIE Dragon. This is to ensure the backups that are restored will be restored properly.

From time to time, it is adviseable to reinstall your game.

==Detailed information==
Each platform has its own patches and rules concerning them. While basic rules apply to all platforms, there may be differences between different platforms.

===TIE Fighter===
TIE Fighter comes in many version from the older disk version to the newest one, which is XvT based. The only official EH platform is TIE95 and all EH battles and mission are designed for this platform. However some of the battles and missions may work with the older version, especially TIECD.
The Science Office has released one permanent patch for TIE95, called EH Ship Patch (EHSP-TIE). This patch adds additional craft to the game, making it more playable.

===X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter===
LucasArts has released one update to this game, adding 3D acceleration support and fixing minor bugs. It is required to apply this patch to the game (users of BoP have it automatically applied) in order to use both single player and multi player battles.
Since XvT has the least craft of all LucasArts simulation games, the Science Office has released a Ship Patch (EHSP-XVT) for this game as well.

===Balance of Power===
Balance of Power itself is a mission pack to XvT. It upgrades it to version 2.0 and adds some changes to the engine.
The Science Office has released a Ship Patch (EHSP-BOP) for this game as well, adding missing craft.

===X-Wing Alliance===
X-Wing Alliance has one LucasArts patch fixing some bugs. This official patch (v2.02) is built in to all modern digital copies of the game. It is required to install it in order to play SP and MP missions. There is no EH Ship Patch available for this game.

===X-Wing Alliance Upgrade===
This is a modification to the X-Wing Alliance game to modernize the visual fidelity of the game, enable the game to use modern GPU acceleration, and fix several original bugs in the game. Most noticeably the bugs around dual warhead craft such as the Missile Boat, S-Foils, and the "gimbal lock" bug common in all X-Wing series games.

This upgrade is permitted for normal BSF submissions, but is not permitted for any High Score considerations. If your BSF contains any High Scores, contact the TAC to inform them that it should not be considered for the high score.

===TIE Fighter Total Conversion===
This is a total overhaul of the X-Wing Alliance game building upon the XWAU engine that recreates the original TIE Fighter game in the XWA engine using modern graphics.

You may not use TFTC for any EH approved XWA battles as it has made several alterations to the game mechanics/balance.

You must be using the current version (1.4) for all BSF submissions for all TFTC content.

===Embers of the Empire===
This is a total overhaul of the X-Wing Alliance game building upon an older XWAU engine that creates an all new Imperial themed campaign set in the old Expanded Universe after the events of the ''Vision of the Future'' novel by Timothy Zahn. It has similar upgraded graphics of XWAU and TFTC.

You may not use Embers for any EH approved XWA or TFTC battles as it has made several alterations to the game mechanics/balance.

You must be using the current version for all BSF submissions for the main campaign.

Tactical Manual: Playing custom battles and missions

2026-06-01T04:16:55Z

Jaggedfelliii: /* Embers of the Empire */

{{Tactical Manual}}
== Introduction ==

The ability to play missions from the EH Mission Compendium is the most basic and important function of each TIE Corps pilot. With the introduction of the EH Battle Launcher (EHBL), the entire process became as easy as one click of the mouse. All flying platforms use basically the same method, with a few differences.

Custom battles or missions are downloaded from the Mission Compendium in [[.EHM|.ehm]] format. This is a custom file format designed and created by the Science Office for use with the EHBL.

== Using the EH Battle Launcher (EHBL) ==

=== How to install the EH Battle Launcher (EHBL) ===

To get started, you will need to download and install the EHBL.

* Download EHBL installer from the [https://www.emperorshammer.org/battlecenter.php Emperor's Hammer Battle Center]. Launch the downloaded executable to install the EHBL application.

[[File:EHBLmenu.jpg|border|350px]]

* Open EHBL and select '''File > Directories''' to verify that the correct location is listed for each of your supported Star Wars games. EHBL tries to detect the location of your installed games from information set when you originally installed the game. If you have moved or copied the game(s) since installing them, or have multiple copies of the games, you can use the '''Browse''' button to tell EHBL where your game directories are.
** When using the GOG versions of the games (recommended), they are typically located within 'C:\GOG Games\' by default.
** When using the Steam versions of the games, they are typically located within 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\' by default.

[[File:EHBLDir.jpg|border|350px]]

=== Loading custom battles/missions using the EH Battle Launcher ===

Battles/missions downloaded from the [https://www.emperorshammer.org/battlecenter.php Emperor's Hammer Battle Center] in [[.EHM|.ehm]] format are for use with the EHBL.

[[File:EHMDown.jpg|border|350px]]

* Download your battle of choice from the Battle Center.
* Launch EHBL.
** It is recommended to run EHBL with administrative privileges by right clicking the icon and selecting 'Run as administrator'. Although EHBL makes no changes to your system outside of installing your battle files, EHBL writes files to its own installation directory (typically 'C:\Program Files\Darkhill Unlimited\EH Battle Launcher') as well as your game directory which may both be protected locations in modern versions of Windows. (Knowledgeable users can mitigate this by installing both EHBL and the games to non-protected locations in which case EHBL requires no special permissions to function.)
** After installation, the README.TXT file included in the battle will automatically be opened. This file will inform you if there are things that you need to do before playing the game, so you are advised to review it. The pilot should also always make sure the necessary patches are installed.
* Select '''File > Load Battle'''. Select the .ehm file you downloaded and click '''Open'''. EHBL installs the battle for the respective game.
* You can launch the game by clicking its title button in EHBL.

=== Additional EHBL options ===

* For X-wing Alliance (XWA), EHBL can create and select your pilot file for you. Select '''Game > XWA Options > Pilot Options'''. From the resulting screen you can select '''New Pilot''' to create the pilot; be sure to select 'Prepare for EH Battle'.

* When installing the EHBL, [[.EHM|.ehm]] files are associated with the EHBL application enabling you to install them simply by double clicking the .ehm file. (This is subject to the limitations described above concerning protected directories and administrative permissions. If this method does not work for you, use the menu in EHBL to load your battle.)

===Special considerations===
====TIE Fighter====
Rebel fighters and transports are not provided in the [[EHSP]] or as separate patches anymore. For battles or missions which will have you fly them, you must enable them in the EHBL via the '''Game > TIE Options''' menu. Note that you can only have one option enabled at a time.

====X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter/Balance of Power====
Transports are not provided in the EHSP or as separate patches anymore. For battles or missions which will have you fly them, you must enable them in the EHBL via the '''Game > XvT Options''' menu.

====X-Wing Alliance====
X-wing Alliance requires you to use the EHBL to create a pilot to fly the battle or mission with. To create a pilot, choose '''Game > XWA Options''' from the menu, and click on the '''New Pilot''' button to create a pilot. Make sure to check the box for 'Prepare for EH Battle'. Click OK, and select the pilot before starting the game.

====ZIP files====
ZIP files are available for pilots who cannot or prefer not to use the EHBL. Refer to the [[TIE Corps Zip Installation Guide]] for information.

===Other gaming platforms===
Installation of custom missions for the other gaming platforms in the Compendium (X-wing, Empire at War, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, Jedi Academy, TIE Fighter Total Conversion, Embers of the Empire, XWVM) are provided in the archive you download. At some point this document will also have installation instructions for those games.

====X-Wing====
X-wing is an inconsistent platform and you need to pay attention to any instructions in the README file. The majority of battles are set up to replace the X-Wing historical missions, but some use Tour of Duty 1.

After completing a battle, completion can be credited in one of two ways:

#Submit the pilot file. This is the only valid method for high scores.
#Submit screenshots of the post-mission success screen (one for each mission in the battle) to the Tactical Officer

'''Important:''' There are a variety of reasons that X-Wing will not save scores in a pilot file. In these cases, screenshots are the only way to submit. These reasons include:

*Pilots using invul and/or unlimited weapons
*Mission using a patch
*Mission using the imperial team for the player

====TIE Fighter Total Conversion====
For the TIE Fighter Total Conversion Reimagined Campaign, no additional files must be installed. Only ensure you are using the latest version of TFTC (1.4), have installed all TFTC published hot fixes, and have manually run the Hooks update from the Launcher. You may start a new pilot file from the normal Launcher and submit it multiple times as you finish each battle, or if you wish to only play a selected battle you can download from the Battle Center a pilot file enabled for each individual battle.

Custom EH battles for TFTC are not currently supported by EHBL and therefore all installations must use the zip files. You need to pay attention to the instructions in the README file, especially those for what files need to be backed up and restored after the custom EH Battle has been completed. If you do not restore all indicated files it may adversely effect future missions that you play. The zip file will include a blank pilot file for you to use that is enabled for the EH Battle.

====Embers of the Empire====
For the Embers of the Empire Campaign, no additional files must be installed. Only ensure you are using the latest version, have installed all published hot fixes. Note: '''DO NOT''' run the Hooks update from the Launcher. You may start a new pilot file from the normal Launcher and submit it multiple times as you finish each battle, or if you wish to only play a selected battle you can download from the Battle Center a pilot file enabled for each individual battle.

==Additional information==

Note that the installation procedure will overwrite the game's original battle files. However, restoring those is easily done by copying the original file from the game CD or a backup copy of the affected files. The battle files involved are:

*'''TIE Fighter:''' BATTLE1.LFD in the /RESOURCE/ directory (sometimes also BATTLE2.LFD, etc)
*'''X-wing vs. TIE Fighter:''' IMPERIAL.LST in the /TRAIN/ directory
*'''Balance of Power:''' IMPERIAL.LST in the /TRAIN/ directory
*'''X-wing Alliance:'''
**MISSION.LST in the /MISSIONS/ directory
**EMAIL.TXT in the /MISSIONS/ directory ''Note: Not all battles will alter this file''
*'''X-Wing:''' Not supported by EHBL, see above.
*'''TIE Fighter Total Conversion:''' Not supported by EHBL, see above.

After installation, the README.TXT file included in the battle will automatically be opened. This file will inform you if there are things that you need to do before playing the game, so you are advised to read it. The pilot should also always make sure the necessary patches are installed. The README.TXT does not always tell you if patches are needed. Installing patches is done via the Super XP Installer that can be downloaded from the Science Office website.

After completing a battle, the pilot file can be submitted in a Battle Submission Form on the TIE Corps website. This is different for each platform:

*'''TIE Fighter:''' .tfr file in the root directory.
*'''X-wing vs. TIE Fighter:''' .plt file in the root directory.
*'''Balance of Power:''' .plt file in the root directory (NOT the .pl2 file in the BalanceOfPower directory).
*'''X-wing Alliance:''' .plt file in the root directory.
*'''X-Wing:''' Not supported by EHBL; see earlier [[#X-Wing|X-Wing]] section.
*'''TIE Fighter Total Conversion:''' .plt file in the root directory.

With the introduction of the EH Battle Launcher (EHBL), the entire process became as easy as one click of the mouse. All flying platforms use basically the same method, with a few differences.

Custom battles or missions are downloaded from the Mission Compendium in [[.EHM|.ehm]] format. This is a custom file format designed and created by the Science Office for use with the EHBL.

== Using the EH Battle Launcher (EHBL) ==

=== How to install the EH Battle Launcher (EHBL) ===

To get started, you will need to download and install the EHBL.

* Download EHBL installer from the [https://www.emperorshammer.org/battlecenter.php Emperor's Hammer Battle Center]. Launch the downloaded executable to install the EHBL application.

[[File:EHBLmenu.jpg|border|350px]]

* Open EHBL and select '''File > Directories''' to verify that the correct location is listed for each of your supported Star Wars games. EHBL tries to detect the location of your installed games from information set when you originally installed the game. If you have moved or copied the game(s) since installing them, or have multiple copies of the games, you can use the '''Browse''' button to tell EHBL where your game directories are.
** When using the GOG versions of the games (recommended), they are typically located within 'C:\GOG Games\' by default.
** When using the Steam versions of the games, they are typically located within 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\' by default.

[[File:EHBLDir.jpg|border|350px]]

=== Loading custom battles/missions using the EH Battle Launcher ===

Battles/missions downloaded from the [https://www.emperorshammer.org/battlecenter.php Emperor's Hammer Battle Center] in [[.EHM|.ehm]] format are for use with the EHBL.

[[File:EHMDown.jpg|border|350px]]

* Download your battle of choice from the Battle Center.
* Launch EHBL.
** It is recommended to run EHBL with administrative privileges by right clicking the icon and selecting 'Run as administrator'. Although EHBL makes no changes to your system outside of installing your battle files, EHBL writes files to its own installation directory (typically 'C:\Program Files\Darkhill Unlimited\EH Battle Launcher') as well as your game directory which may both be protected locations in modern versions of Windows. (Knowledgeable users can mitigate this by installing both EHBL and the games to non-protected locations in which case EHBL requires no special permissions to function.)
** After installation, the README.TXT file included in the battle will automatically be opened. This file will inform you if there are things that you need to do before playing the game, so you are advised to review it. The pilot should also always make sure the necessary patches are installed.
* Select '''File > Load Battle'''. Select the .ehm file you downloaded and click '''Open'''. EHBL installs the battle for the respective game.
* You can launch the game by clicking its title button in EHBL.

=== Additional EHBL options ===

* For X-wing Alliance (XWA), EHBL can create and select your pilot file for you. Select '''Game > XWA Options > Pilot Options'''. From the resulting screen you can select '''New Pilot''' to create the pilot; be sure to select 'Prepare for EH Battle'.

* When installing the EHBL, [[.EHM|.ehm]] files are associated with the EHBL application enabling you to install them simply by double clicking the .ehm file. (This is subject to the limitations described above concerning protected directories and administrative permissions. If this method does not work for you, use the menu in EHBL to load your battle.)

===Special considerations===
====TIE Fighter====
Rebel fighters and transports are not provided in the [[EHSP]] or as separate patches anymore. For battles or missions which will have you fly them, you must enable them in the EHBL via the '''Game > TIE Options''' menu. Note that you can only have one option enabled at a time.

====X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter/Balance of Power====
Transports are not provided in the EHSP or as separate patches anymore. For battles or missions which will have you fly them, you must enable them in the EHBL via the '''Game > XvT Options''' menu.

====X-Wing Alliance====
X-wing Alliance requires you to use the EHBL to create a pilot to fly the battle or mission with. To create a pilot, choose '''Game > XWA Options''' from the menu, and click on the '''New Pilot''' button to create a pilot. Make sure to check the box for 'Prepare for EH Battle'. Click OK, and select the pilot before starting the game.

====ZIP files====
ZIP files are available for pilots who cannot or prefer not to use the EHBL. Refer to the [[TIE Corps Zip Installation Guide]] for information.

===Other gaming platforms===
Installation of custom missions for the other gaming platforms in the Compendium (X-wing, Empire at War, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, Jedi Academy, TIE Fighter Total Conversion, Embers of the Empire, XWVM) are provided in the archive you download. At some point this document will also have installation instructions for those games.

====X-Wing====
X-wing is an inconsistent platform and you need to pay attention to any instructions in the README file. The majority of battles are set up to replace the X-Wing historical missions, but some use Tour of Duty 1.

After completing a battle, completion can be credited in one of two ways:

#Submit the pilot file. This is the only valid method for high scores.
#Submit screenshots of the post-mission success screen (one for each mission in the battle) to the Tactical Officer

'''Important:''' There are a variety of reasons that X-Wing will not save scores in a pilot file. In these cases, screenshots are the only way to submit. These reasons include:

*Pilots using invul and/or unlimited weapons
*Mission using a patch
*Mission using the imperial team for the player

====TIE Fighter Total Conversion====
For the TIE Fighter Total Conversion Reimagined Campaign, no additional files must be installed. Only ensure you are using the latest version of TFTC (1.4), have installed all TFTC published hot fixes, and have manually run the Hooks update from the Launcher. You may start a new pilot file from the normal Launcher and submit it multiple times as you finish each battle, or if you wish to only play a selected battle you can download from the Battle Center a pilot file enabled for each individual battle.

Custom EH battles for TFTC are not currently supported by EHBL and therefore all installations must use the zip files. You need to pay attention to the instructions in the README file, especially those for what files need to be backed up and restored after the custom EH Battle has been completed. If you do not restore all indicated files it may adversely effect future missions that you play. The zip file will include a blank pilot file for you to use that is enabled for the EH Battle.

====Embers of the Empire====
For the Embers of the Empire Campaign, no additional files must be installed. Only ensure you are using the latest version, have installed all published hot fixes. Note: **DO NOT** run the Hooks update from the Launcher. You may start a new pilot file from the normal Launcher and submit it multiple times as you finish each battle, or if you wish to only play a selected battle you can download from the Battle Center a pilot file enabled for each individual battle.

==Additional information==

Note that the installation procedure will overwrite the game's original battle files. However, restoring those is easily done by copying the original file from the game CD or a backup copy of the affected files. The battle files involved are:

*'''TIE Fighter:''' BATTLE1.LFD in the /RESOURCE/ directory (sometimes also BATTLE2.LFD, etc)
*'''X-wing vs. TIE Fighter:''' IMPERIAL.LST in the /TRAIN/ directory
*'''Balance of Power:''' IMPERIAL.LST in the /TRAIN/ directory
*'''X-wing Alliance:'''
**MISSION.LST in the /MISSIONS/ directory
**EMAIL.TXT in the /MISSIONS/ directory ''Note: Not all battles will alter this file''
*'''X-Wing:''' Not supported by EHBL, see above.
*'''TIE Fighter Total Conversion:''' Not supported by EHBL, see above.

After installation, the README.TXT file included in the battle will automatically be opened. This file will inform you if there are things that you need to do before playing the game, so you are advised to read it. The pilot should also always make sure the necessary patches are installed. The README.TXT does not always tell you if patches are needed. Installing patches is done via the Super XP Installer that can be downloaded from the Science Office website.

After completing a battle, the pilot file can be submitted in a Battle Submission Form on the TIE Corps website. This is different for each platform:

*'''TIE Fighter:''' .tfr file in the root directory.
*'''X-wing vs. TIE Fighter:''' .plt file in the root directory.
*'''Balance of Power:''' .plt file in the root directory (NOT the .pl2 file in the BalanceOfPower directory).
*'''X-wing Alliance:''' .plt file in the root directory.
*'''X-Wing:''' Not supported by EHBL; see earlier [[#X-Wing|X-Wing]] section.
*'''TIE Fighter Total Conversion:''' .plt file in the root directory.

Tactical Manual: Games, updates and patches

2026-06-01T04:12:12Z

Jaggedfelliii: /* Detailed information */

{{Tactical Manual}}
==In general==
Games used by Emperor's Hammer and its Subgroups are not perfect. While the often offer a very good graphic engine, they usually lack in number of built-in vessels. That is why the Science Office provides us with a large assortment of craft to use outside of that the games themselves offer us.

A patch is a small piece of software that updates the EH official platform by adding a new ship or fighter. In order to avoid troubles with international laws and copyrights only EH approved patches (those you can download from EH Science Office webpage) and EH approved Total Conversions/Mods can be used in EH approved battles. Using a third source patch, not approved by the Science Office will result in submission rejection.

There are two kinds of patches in the archives. Normal patches use common slots (in other words many patches use the same slot) and they should be installed only in order to complete the battle/mission in question. Those patches should be uninstalled when they are not needed.

The second kind is the Ship Patch. Those patches do not have to be uninstalled and they can be kept permanently installed.

There are also game updates released by both the Science Office and LucasArts. Those updates are required and should be applied to the games and kept installed permanently (they usually cannot be uninstalled).

==Installing patches==
To install a patch, download the patch for the appropriate platform from the Science Office website. The battle's page in the Mission Compendium provides you with a direct link to the .ZIP file.

Once downloaded, extract the archive. this will create a directory called EHPatch. You must copy this directory directly to your game directory.

Next, start the Super XP Installer provided by the Science Office, and click on the button that matches the game which you are installing a patch for. This will display a list of all the .BAT files found for that game. For each patch, you will find two batch files: one to install, and one to remove. Click the .BAT file of the patch you wish to install, and click the 'Run' button. Repeat this process if you need to install more than one patch.

*You can find the XP Installer [http://sco.emperorshammer.net/files/XPInstaller.zip here].
*You can find the Super XP Installer [http://sco.emperorshammer.net/files/superxpinstaller.zip here].

To uninstall a patch, you follow the same procedure, only you select the .BAT file for uninstalling the patch.

'''IMPORTANT:''' When you have installed more than one patch, it is very important to uninstall them in the reverse order that you installed them. So if you installed the TIE Dragon first, and then the DGN Lichtor V, you must uninstall the DGN Lichtor V first, and then the TIE Dragon. This is to ensure the backups that are restored will be restored properly.

From time to time, it is adviseable to reinstall your game.

==Detailed information==
Each platform has its own patches and rules concerning them. While basic rules apply to all platforms, there may be differences between different platforms.

===TIE Fighter===
TIE Fighter comes in many version from the older disk version to the newest one, which is XvT based. The only official EH platform is TIE95 and all EH battles and mission are designed for this platform. However some of the battles and missions may work with the older version, especially TIECD.
The Science Office has released one permanent patch for TIE95, called EH Ship Patch (EHSP-TIE). This patch adds additional craft to the game, making it more playable.

===X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter===
LucasArts has released one update to this game, adding 3D acceleration support and fixing minor bugs. It is required to apply this patch to the game (users of BoP have it automatically applied) in order to use both single player and multi player battles.
Since XvT has the least craft of all LucasArts simulation games, the Science Office has released a Ship Patch (EHSP-XVT) for this game as well.

===Balance of Power===
Balance of Power itself is a mission pack to XvT. It upgrades it to version 2.0 and adds some changes to the engine.
The Science Office has released a Ship Patch (EHSP-BOP) for this game as well, adding missing craft.

===X-Wing Alliance===
X-Wing Alliance has one LucasArts patch fixing some bugs. This official patch (v2.02) is built in to all modern digital copies of the game. It is required to install it in order to play SP and MP missions. There is no EH Ship Patch available for this game.

===X-Wing Alliance Upgrade===
This is a modification to the X-Wing Alliance game to modernize the visual fidelity of the game, enable the game to use modern GPU acceleration, and fix several original bugs in the game. Most noticeably the bugs around dual warhead craft such as the Missile Boat, S-Foils, and the "gimbal lock" bug common in all X-Wing series games.

This upgrade is permitted for normal BSF submissions, but is not permitted for any High Score considerations. If your BSF contains any High Scores, contact the TAC to inform them that it should not be considered for the high score.

===TIE Fighter Total Conversion===
This is a total overhaul of the X-Wing Alliance game building upon the XWAU engine that recreates the original TIE Fighter game in the XWA engine using modern graphics.

You may not use TFTC for any EH approved XWA battles as it has made several alterations to the game mechanics/balance.

You must be using the current version (1.4) for all BSF submissions for all TFTC content.

===Embers of the Empire===
This is a total overhaul of the X-Wing Alliance game building upon an older XWAU engine that creates an all new Imperial themed campaign set in the old Expanded Universe after the events of the *Vision of the Future* novel by Timothy Zahn. It has similar upgraded graphics of XWAU and TFTC.

You may not use Embers for any EH approved XWA or TFTC battles as it has made several alterations to the game mechanics/balance.

You must be using the current version for all BSF submissions for the main campaign.

 “Don’t call me blue…”

[https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/TIE_Corps_rank_system#COL Colonel] Jagged Fell III is currently the Commander of [[Typhoon Squadron]], onboard the [[Challenge | ISD-II Challenge]]. And he is an Assistant to the Tactical Officer. He is also a [[Rear_Admiral_(Emperor%27s_Hammer) | Rear Admiral]] and the [[Command_Attache | Command Attache]] to the [[Tactical_Officer | Tactical Officer]].

==Background==

Born on [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Nirauan/Legends Nirauan], in [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/7_ABY/Legends 7 ABY], to a male Imperial TIE pilot and a female [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Chiss/Legends Chiss] weapons officer. Jagged was named in honor of the recently born son of the ruling [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Soontir_Fel/Legends Baron] of the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Empire_of_the_Hand Empire of the Hand], to whom Jagged’s father was related by marriage.

Jagged adored his mother, even though her purity focused family never fully accepted him due to his mixed heritage. His brown hair instantly marked him as other from the blue-black hair of full blood Chiss. Nevertheless, Jagged’s mother would take him on journeys into [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Unknown_Regions The Chaos] to experience the life in those regions, also teaching him several of the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Trade_languages trade languages] of the region.

The death of [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo/Legends Grand Admiral Mitth’raw’nuruodo] when Jagged was only [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/9_ABY/Legends 2 years] old rocked the social order of the Empire of the Hand for years to come. None in the top leadership believed Thrawn had truly died and thought it was just another of his opaque strategies. He had predicted that he would return to them [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/19_ABY/Legends ten years] after his reported death. The whole of the Empire focused on the tasks he had set out for it while they waited.

Their waiting came to an end abruptly and tragically for Jagged. [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Luke_Skywalker/Legends Luke Skywalker] and [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mara_Jade_Skywalker Mara Jade] found the Empire of the Hand that year. During their escape from capture, Mara Jade crashed her Luxury Yacht, [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jade%27s_Fire Jade’s Fire], into the hanger complex on Nirauan. Unfortunately, Jagged’s mother was serving a rotation as quarter master in the hanger that month and died in the assault.

This event forever altered Jagged’s life. He no longer believed in the invincibility of the Empire of the Hand and formed an abiding hatred for the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jedi/Legends Jedi] and the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/New_Republic/Legends New Republic] that they supported. His life also was forever altered by the fact his only parent now was his father, whom he privately believed to be a weak, facetious man.

When Jagged was [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/25_ABY/Legends eighteen years] old he entered the TIE Fighter Academy on Nirauan. He spent the next 4 years becoming more and more disillusioned with the Empire of the Hand as he saw them form alliances with the Jedi and the New Republic who he hated.

==Joining the TIE Corps and Typhoon Squadron==

On his graduation from the Academy when [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/29_ABY/Legends 22 years old] he immediately stole his [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TIE/d_%22Defender%22_Multi-Role_Starfighter TIE Defender] which he christened the [[Emperor's Hand|Emperor’s Hand]] and went in search of an Empire that would not fall under the influence of the New Republic and the hated Jedi.

It took Jagged 18 months of searching the outer reaches of the galaxy to find the Emperor’s Hammer and travel to Aurora to join the TIE Corps. But once he heard of the Hammer, he knew that he had finally found a home that would never bow to the force and will of the Republic.

After his initial on-boarding, he was assigned to Typhoon Squadron where he was further assigned to the third position of the third flight group. The fact that Jagged Fell III was flying in position 3-3 was too much of a coincidence for [[Master | General Master]] and he promptly dubbed Jagged “Three”. Jagged quickly found his home in the squadron and was an active presence in the squad room and went on to lead the squadron in points in the 2023 Raise the Flag competition that started just the day after he joined the squadron.

Later Jagged accepted the position of Flight Leader in Typhoon Squadron and remains in that position today. He was active in the SP Ace of the TIE Corps Competition, taking either 1st or 2nd place for the rest of ABY 31.

When early in ABY 32 the Emperor’s Hammer entered the Tkon Rift, Jagged volunteered as a wartime correspondent for the Imperial News Network, posting his daily reports about the events of the campaign, including several inspirational war posters.

==RtF Performance==

===2023===

After a short on-boarding process, Jagged threw himself into the competition with all he had. He eventually came out to be Typhoon Squadron’s top performer in the competition, placing 9th overall with a score of 2882. This made him the second highest scoring Lieutenant after the quickly becoming legendary [[Vanguard88 | Baron Vanguard88]]. During that month, Jagged flew 176 total missions from the EH compendium, submitted 20 memes to the TCCOM, submitted 2 terrible “artworks”, 60 Imperial University exams, and 2, prize-winning, fiction stories.

Both Jagged’s RtF fiction entries took 3rd in their respective rounds of competition. His first story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1694314445-8bc2cd16.pdf Typhoon Squadron: Into the Chaos], told the tale of a heroic battle engaged in by Typhoon Squadron over the world XC-50391-2. The story was told from the point-of-view of Typhoon Squadron’s intrepid leader [[Triji Boliv | Colonel Triji Boliv]]. His second story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1695481765-b83a230c.pdf Typhoon Squadron: Speaking Into the Chaos], was a less bombastic affair telling the tale of Jagged’s first few weeks in the squadron and his coming to realize this would be a good home for him.

The 60 Imperial University exams Jagged passed that month made him the single largest IU course taker for the month, with him alone accounting for 23.8% of all passed IU exams that month. Much to the begrudging annoyance of his squadron commander, who due to his role in the Training Office, had to grade many of them.

===2024===

Jagged came out swinging for RtF 2024, hoping to possibly snag a top 5 placing, he was quickly shown that this would not be in the cards for him. As the month wore on he slipped further down the leaderboard until he ended the month in 9th place, same as the previous year, with a final score of 3597. During the month Jagged flew a total of 408 total missions from the EH compendium, submitted 20 memes to the TCCOM, submitted 2 prize-winning, art pieces, 30 Imperial University exams, and 2, prize-winning, fiction stories.
[[Image:Final_Fell_2024_2.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>2024 Art Round 1</center>]]
Both Jagged’s RtF art entries took prizes, with the first being 4th and the second being 9th in their respective rounds of competition. Art entries also related to the stories that also won prizes, placing 5th in both rounds. His first story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1726025747-4d97b78d.pdf Liberation of the Rift], told the tale of him leading one of the opening assaults in the final liberation of the Tkon Rift from the Kilji and the start of the liberation of one of the Kilji held planets of the Rift. His second story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1727158584-83350831.pdf Deliverance of the Rift], was a direct continuation of the previous story telling the tale of the defense of an Imperial held world in the Rift from the Kilji counter-attack and the final destruction of the Kilji Command Ship above the last Kilji world in the Rift.
[[Image:Final_Fell_2024_4.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>2024 Art Round 2</center>]]

The 30 Imperial University exams Jagged passed that month made him the single largest IU course taker for the month, with him alone accounting for 12.7% of all passed IU exams that month.

===2025===

Once again Jagged came out strong, leading in the first few hours of the competition, trying to break his streak of only being in the top 10 but instead finish in the top 5. His strategy for this year was to focus on making the best art entries he could, and he succeeded in his goal having **BOTH** of his art entries taking first place. His first creation was a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvSaiY-LIQI video] that showed a New Republic convoy being ambushed by the Emperor's Hammer forces, flying their newly captured First Order craft. His [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKpwiQgY5yk second entry] was also a video, this time depicting the TIE Corps retreat from Jundaxa after the First Order's counterattack.

However, while his art entries did extremely well, even snagging him an Iron Star - Platinum Ribbon, his fiction entries ([https://tc.emperorshammer.org/view_fiction.php?id=524 1] & [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/view_fiction.php?id=553 2]) did not have the same resonance with the judges and as such he ended up **JUST** missing out on the 5th place finish by 35 points. He did however lead his squadron to a 3rd place finish, with a 100% participation rate for the competition.

==Mission Creation==

One of Jagged’s primary motivations to join the Emperor’s Hammer was to create custom missions for X-Wing Alliance, as it was the search for custom missions that led him to find the EH to begin with. Jagged started with the X-Wing book series that inspired him to pick the games up in the first place and started creating battles to adapt the Rogue Squadron books.

His first battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1479&type=info XWA-TC 70: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Borleias] was released approximately 3 months after he first joined the group with each subsequent battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1481&type=info XWA-TC 71: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Wedge's Stumble], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1482&type=info XWA-TC 72: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Krytos Opportunity], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1484&type=info XWA-TC 73: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Bacta War], releasing at approximately one month intervals.

After releasing these four battles covering the intial Stackpole novels he turned his attention to learning the new TIE Fighter Total Conversion mod for X-Wing Alliance and how to best make missions for the platform. He set about converting the 4 XWA battles he had made for the enhanced, modified game. All four battles have been remastered, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1487&type=info TFTC-TC 1: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Coruscant] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1490&type=info TFTC-TC 2: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Bacta War]. He has plans to make TFTC battles to cover the first 7 books of the X-Wing series, with a planned final total campaign of 37 or more missions. The first two Wraith Squadron battles, covering the first Wraith Squadron book, have been released, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1491&type=info TFTC-IW 1: Wraith Squadron: Part 1] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1495&type=info TFTC-IW 2: Wraith Squadron: Part 2].

He also has started to remaster some of his favorite battles from the XWA database, with the original authors permission. He has released a remaster of [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=520&type=info XWA-TC 14] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1496&type=info TFTC-TC 5: The History of the ISD Immortal], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=629&type=info XWA-TC 22] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1497&type=info TFTC-TC 6: The Career of AD Adrenaline], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=568&type=info XWA-F 29] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1503&type=info TFTC-F 4: Operation Takedown], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1250&type=info XWA-TC 52] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1501&type=info TFTC-TC 7: Rendezvous With Peril], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1218&type=info XWA-DB 9] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1509&type=info TFTC-DB 1: Heading for Pyrath].

While also working on his larger battles Jagged also has released several Free Battles to capture things happening in the Squadron at the time. The first was [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1480&type=info XWA-F 162: An Excellent E-Wing Demonstration] which is a mission designed to make use of the E-Wing patch that had been made for XWA years previously, but never utilized, much to the disappointment of several within Typhoon Squadron at the time. The second Free he made, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1489&type=info TFTC-F 1: A Changing of the Guard], was to celebrate the retirement of [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Stryker AD Stryker] and the elevation of [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Locke_Setzer VA Locke Setzer] as BGCOM for Battlegroup III. And he has released a quick challenge mission where the goal is to get through a maze as fast as possible, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1492&type=info TFTC-F 2: An aMAZEing Mission]. Also, upon assent to being the Commander of Typhoon Squadron he made a free to fictionalize his being asked to take the role [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1502&type=info TFTC-F 3: To B Free].

For the finale of the TIE Corps Wide Imperial Storm VII competition the Tactical Office, led by Jagged, developed an "EH Canon" mission where the TIE Corps is capturing the First Order's Fuel Depot above Zephyron. Jagged wrote and made the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1507&type=info TFTC] version of the mission and then converted it into base [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1506&type=info XWA]. At the same time the other members of the TAC Office converted the TFTC mission into [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1508&type=info X-Wing], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1504&type=info TIE Fighter], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1505&type=info X-Wing vs TIE Fighter] so that the mission could be played on all platforms the EH supports.

=Readme Background=
It has been one standard year since the Emperor’s Hammer and the First Order first came to blows over the Fuel Depot HydroStation 77. Once again, the Emperor’s Hammer is venturing out into the First Order’s territory, looking for information on where the mysterious force emanations are coming from.

=Script=
===Commander's Briefing===
The story so far:

Years ago, Grand Admiral Rapier sensed a dark calling from deep within the Unknown Regions. Conferring with the Grand Master of the Secret Order and the TIE Corps Commander it was decided to send a portion of the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet to seek out the source of this dark presence, and deal with any hostilities along the way.

It was a long and arduous journey, with many foes en route, but just one standard year ago the scouts of the Fleet discovered another, seemingly Imperial, faction within the area of the Chaos of the Unknown Region. This faction, who referred to themselves as the First Order, fielded craft of obvious Imperial extraction, upgraded TIE Fighters and Star Destroyers and the like. But they also were infected by the prideful rot that had consumed the Empire in the latter years. Without discussion, their commander, one Grand Marshal Hoshiko Takeda, had DEMANDED the complete surrender of the Emperor’s Hammer to her authority and claimed the leadership of the Fleet was illegitimate and illegal.

Needless to say, this did not sit well with the Grand Admiral, nor the pilots under his command, so the Emperor's Hammer went to war with the First Order. It started with a month-long campaign in the Gasriese System culminating in the capture of a Fuel Depot above the gas giant Zephyron, HydroStation 77. Grand Marshal Takeda escaped the system before the forces of the Emperor's Hammer took complete control however.

Over the following months, the Emperor's Hammer’s forces pursued the remnants of the First Order to the jungle world of Jundaxa, while also conducting combat trials of the previously captured First Order ships from the battle for HydroStation 77. Just as the TIE Corps and Hammer's Fist had fully committed to the capture of Jundaxa, the First Order's trap was sprung. In a simultaneous operation, an overwhelming counterassault force arrived to trap the Emperor's Hammer forces on Jundaxa, while also sending Mandalorian infiltrators to the Fuel Depot to disrupt operations there as well.

It was only through the heroic efforts of the pilots of the TIE Corps that the main ships of the Strike Fleet were able to escape the trap on Jundaxa, while many of the soldiers of the Hammer's Fist were lost, not able to make it back to the transports in time. The Mandalorian infiltrators on the Fuel Depot were stopped before they could cause any catastrophic harm, but the combined counterattack by the First Order had knocked the Emperor's Hammer forces back on their heels.

It took some time, but once again the pilots of the Emperor's Hammer push forward into presumed First Order territory, looking for new resources and information on what the source could be of the strange Force emanations that first drew them to the Chaos to begin with.

===Tactical Briefing Text===
All right, settle down now. We, along with the Grey Wolf, Renegade, Essex, Apollo, and Krayt's Claw have arrived here in the Eisvahn System to gather intel.

There is a First Order station here in orbit above the forested world of Eisvahn IV.

Our job is to destroy, or drive off, the First Order ships in the area and then disable the station so that a boarding party can get in to gather the intel we are after.

Once they download the station's central computer core, protect them as they return to the Relentless.

We don’t know if they will have reinforcements nearby, keep your eyes open for any new ships entering the area.

We have been ordered to retreat rather than lose any of our ships, so a rendezvous location a few light years away has been entered into your computers if that becomes necessary.

However, we must complete our primary mission before we fall back, protect the Relentless at all costs until the strike team is back on board.

Good luck.

===Radio Messages===
<Relentless> Ok, looks like all they have is a handful of cruisers guarding the station. Remember that we are not here to capture territory. We are to get in, get what we need, and get out

<Crossbow 1> Roger Relentless, we are just here to fleece their computer core

<Relentless> Our escort ships are moving to engage their cruisers, keep the fighters and bombers off of them. And remember that these FO fighters can take a pounding

<Unknown> To you who say you are the Emperor's Hammer, you are betraying the Empire you have sworn to protect and will be destroyed for your impudence. The retribution you have already earned will only be increased by your actions today. Surrender now and we may yet be merciful. Fight and only further seal your doom when we come for you

<Condor 2> Don't they ever get tired of making threats?

<Valkyrie 4> When that is all you can do, I guess you make due

<Crossbow 1> Alright, that is enough, let’s cut the chatter and get this job done

[Medium Only; When enemy reinforcements are triggered] 
<Condor 2> I got more FO ships coming in. Looks like another pair of cruisers

[Hard Only; When enemy reinforcements are triggered] 
<Condor 2> I got more FO ships coming in. It is a RSD and a cruiser

[Greater than Easy] 
<Relentless> Fighters, keep those new ships at bay and get the mission done

[Greater than Easy] 
<Unknown> Soon you will be overwhelmed by our forces. You can not hope to survive this war[static]

[Greater than easy] 
<Relentless> We have jammed their transmissions, keep up the fight

[Greater than easy] 
<Crossbow 1> Thanks, sir. They were starting to really annoy me

[50% of FO cruisers destroyed or gone home]

 “Don’t call me blue…”

[https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/TIE_Corps_rank_system#COL Colonel] Jagged Fell III is currently the Commander of [[Typhoon Squadron]], onboard the [[Challenge | ISD-II Challenge]]. And he is an Assistant to the Tactical Officer. He is also a [[Rear_Admiral_(Emperor%27s_Hammer) | Rear Admiral]] and the [[Command_Attache | Command Attache]] to the [[Tactical_Officer | Tactical Officer]].

==Background==

Born on [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Nirauan/Legends Nirauan], in [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/7_ABY/Legends 7 ABY], to a male Imperial TIE pilot and a female [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Chiss/Legends Chiss] weapons officer. Jagged was named in honor of the recently born son of the ruling [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Soontir_Fel/Legends Baron] of the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Empire_of_the_Hand Empire of the Hand], to whom Jagged’s father was related by marriage.

Jagged adored his mother, even though her purity focused family never fully accepted him due to his mixed heritage. His brown hair instantly marked him as other from the blue-black hair of full blood Chiss. Nevertheless, Jagged’s mother would take him on journeys into [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Unknown_Regions The Chaos] to experience the life in those regions, also teaching him several of the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Trade_languages trade languages] of the region.

The death of [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo/Legends Grand Admiral Mitth’raw’nuruodo] when Jagged was only [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/9_ABY/Legends 2 years] old rocked the social order of the Empire of the Hand for years to come. None in the top leadership believed Thrawn had truly died and thought it was just another of his opaque strategies. He had predicted that he would return to them [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/19_ABY/Legends ten years] after his reported death. The whole of the Empire focused on the tasks he had set out for it while they waited.

Their waiting came to an end abruptly and tragically for Jagged. [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Luke_Skywalker/Legends Luke Skywalker] and [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mara_Jade_Skywalker Mara Jade] found the Empire of the Hand that year. During their escape from capture, Mara Jade crashed her Luxury Yacht, [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jade%27s_Fire Jade’s Fire], into the hanger complex on Nirauan. Unfortunately, Jagged’s mother was serving a rotation as quarter master in the hanger that month and died in the assault.

This event forever altered Jagged’s life. He no longer believed in the invincibility of the Empire of the Hand and formed an abiding hatred for the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jedi/Legends Jedi] and the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/New_Republic/Legends New Republic] that they supported. His life also was forever altered by the fact his only parent now was his father, whom he privately believed to be a weak, facetious man.

When Jagged was [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/25_ABY/Legends eighteen years] old he entered the TIE Fighter Academy on Nirauan. He spent the next 4 years becoming more and more disillusioned with the Empire of the Hand as he saw them form alliances with the Jedi and the New Republic who he hated.

==Joining the TIE Corps and Typhoon Squadron==

On his graduation from the Academy when [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/29_ABY/Legends 22 years old] he immediately stole his [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TIE/d_%22Defender%22_Multi-Role_Starfighter TIE Defender] which he christened the [[Emperor's Hand|Emperor’s Hand]] and went in search of an Empire that would not fall under the influence of the New Republic and the hated Jedi.

It took Jagged 18 months of searching the outer reaches of the galaxy to find the Emperor’s Hammer and travel to Aurora to join the TIE Corps. But once he heard of the Hammer, he knew that he had finally found a home that would never bow to the force and will of the Republic.

After his initial on-boarding, he was assigned to Typhoon Squadron where he was further assigned to the third position of the third flight group. The fact that Jagged Fell III was flying in position 3-3 was too much of a coincidence for [[Master | General Master]] and he promptly dubbed Jagged “Three”. Jagged quickly found his home in the squadron and was an active presence in the squad room and went on to lead the squadron in points in the 2023 Raise the Flag competition that started just the day after he joined the squadron.

Later Jagged accepted the position of Flight Leader in Typhoon Squadron and remains in that position today. He was active in the SP Ace of the TIE Corps Competition, taking either 1st or 2nd place for the rest of ABY 31.

When early in ABY 32 the Emperor’s Hammer entered the Tkon Rift, Jagged volunteered as a wartime correspondent for the Imperial News Network, posting his daily reports about the events of the campaign, including several inspirational war posters.

==RtF Performance==

===2023===

After a short on-boarding process, Jagged threw himself into the competition with all he had. He eventually came out to be Typhoon Squadron’s top performer in the competition, placing 9th overall with a score of 2882. This made him the second highest scoring Lieutenant after the quickly becoming legendary [[Vanguard88 | Baron Vanguard88]]. During that month, Jagged flew 176 total missions from the EH compendium, submitted 20 memes to the TCCOM, submitted 2 terrible “artworks”, 60 Imperial University exams, and 2, prize-winning, fiction stories.

Both Jagged’s RtF fiction entries took 3rd in their respective rounds of competition. His first story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1694314445-8bc2cd16.pdf Typhoon Squadron: Into the Chaos], told the tale of a heroic battle engaged in by Typhoon Squadron over the world XC-50391-2. The story was told from the point-of-view of Typhoon Squadron’s intrepid leader [[Triji Boliv | Colonel Triji Boliv]]. His second story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1695481765-b83a230c.pdf Typhoon Squadron: Speaking Into the Chaos], was a less bombastic affair telling the tale of Jagged’s first few weeks in the squadron and his coming to realize this would be a good home for him.

The 60 Imperial University exams Jagged passed that month made him the single largest IU course taker for the month, with him alone accounting for 23.8% of all passed IU exams that month. Much to the begrudging annoyance of his squadron commander, who due to his role in the Training Office, had to grade many of them.

===2024===

Jagged came out swinging for RtF 2024, hoping to possibly snag a top 5 placing, he was quickly shown that this would not be in the cards for him. As the month wore on he slipped further down the leaderboard until he ended the month in 9th place, same as the previous year, with a final score of 3597. During the month Jagged flew a total of 408 total missions from the EH compendium, submitted 20 memes to the TCCOM, submitted 2 prize-winning, art pieces, 30 Imperial University exams, and 2, prize-winning, fiction stories.
[[Image:Final_Fell_2024_2.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>2024 Art Round 1</center>]]
Both Jagged’s RtF art entries took prizes, with the first being 4th and the second being 9th in their respective rounds of competition. Art entries also related to the stories that also won prizes, placing 5th in both rounds. His first story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1726025747-4d97b78d.pdf Liberation of the Rift], told the tale of him leading one of the opening assaults in the final liberation of the Tkon Rift from the Kilji and the start of the liberation of one of the Kilji held planets of the Rift. His second story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1727158584-83350831.pdf Deliverance of the Rift], was a direct continuation of the previous story telling the tale of the defense of an Imperial held world in the Rift from the Kilji counter-attack and the final destruction of the Kilji Command Ship above the last Kilji world in the Rift.
[[Image:Final_Fell_2024_4.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>2024 Art Round 2</center>]]

The 30 Imperial University exams Jagged passed that month made him the single largest IU course taker for the month, with him alone accounting for 12.7% of all passed IU exams that month.

===2025===

Once again Jagged came out strong, leading in the first few hours of the competition, trying to break his streak of only being in the top 10 but instead finish in the top 5. His strategy for this year was to focus on making the best art entries he could, and he succeeded in his goal having **BOTH** of his art entries taking first place. His first creation was a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvSaiY-LIQI video] that showed a New Republic convoy being ambushed by the Emperor's Hammer forces, flying their newly captured First Order craft. His [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKpwiQgY5yk second entry] was also a video, this time depicting the TIE Corps retreat from Jundaxa after the First Order's counterattack.

However, while his art entries did extremely well, even snagging him an Iron Star - Platinum Ribbon, his fiction entries ([https://tc.emperorshammer.org/view_fiction.php?id=524 1] & [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/view_fiction.php?id=553 2]) did not have the same resonance with the judges and as such he ended up **JUST** missing out on the 5th place finish by 35 points. He did however lead his squadron to a 3rd place finish, with a 100% participation rate for the competition.

==Mission Creation==

One of Jagged’s primary motivations to join the Emperor’s Hammer was to create custom missions for X-Wing Alliance, as it was the search for custom missions that led him to find the EH to begin with. Jagged started with the X-Wing book series that inspired him to pick the games up in the first place and started creating battles to adapt the Rogue Squadron books.

His first battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1479&type=info XWA-TC 70: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Borleias] was released approximately 3 months after he first joined the group with each subsequent battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1481&type=info XWA-TC 71: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Wedge's Stumble], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1482&type=info XWA-TC 72: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Krytos Opportunity], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1484&type=info XWA-TC 73: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Bacta War], releasing at approximately one month intervals.

After releasing these four battles covering the intial Stackpole novels he turned his attention to learning the new TIE Fighter Total Conversion mod for X-Wing Alliance and how to best make missions for the platform. He set about converting the 4 XWA battles he had made for the enhanced, modified game. All four battles have been remastered, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1487&type=info TFTC-TC 1: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Coruscant] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1490&type=info TFTC-TC 2: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Bacta War]. He has plans to make TFTC battles to cover the first 7 books of the X-Wing series, with a planned final total campaign of 37 or more missions. The first two Wraith Squadron battles, covering the first Wraith Squadron book, have been released, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1491&type=info TFTC-IW 1: Wraith Squadron: Part 1] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1495&type=info TFTC-IW 2: Wraith Squadron: Part 2].

He also has started to remaster some of his favorite battles from the XWA database, with the original authors permission. He has released a remaster of [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=520&type=info XWA-TC 14] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1496&type=info TFTC-TC 5: The History of the ISD Immortal], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=629&type=info XWA-TC 22] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1497&type=info TFTC-TC 6: The Career of AD Adrenaline], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=568&type=info XWA-F 29] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1503&type=info TFTC-F 4: Operation Takedown], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1250&type=info XWA-TC 52] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1501&type=info TFTC-TC 7: Rendezvous With Peril], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1218&type=info XWA-DB 9] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1509&type=info TFTC-DB 1: Heading for Pyrath].

While also working on his larger battles Jagged also has released several Free Battles to capture things happening in the Squadron at the time. The first was [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1480&type=info XWA-F 162: An Excellent E-Wing Demonstration] which is a mission designed to make use of the E-Wing patch that had been made for XWA years previously, but never utilized, much to the disappointment of several within Typhoon Squadron at the time. The second Free he made, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1489&type=info TFTC-F 1: A Changing of the Guard], was to celebrate the retirement of [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Stryker AD Stryker] and the elevation of [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Locke_Setzer VA Locke Setzer] as BGCOM for Battlegroup III. And he has released a quick challenge mission where the goal is to get through a maze as fast as possible, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1492&type=info TFTC-F 2: An aMAZEing Mission]. Also, upon assent to being the Commander of Typhoon Squadron he made a free to fictionalize his being asked to take the role [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1502&type=info TFTC-F 3: To B Free].

For the finale of the TIE Corps Wide Imperial Storm VII competition the Tactical Office, led by Jagged, developed an "EH Canon" mission where the TIE Corps is capturing the First Order's Fuel Depot above Zephyron. Jagged wrote and made the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1507&type=info TFTC] version of the mission and then converted it into base [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1506&type=info XWA]. At the same time the other members of the TAC Office converted the TFTC mission into [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1508&type=info X-Wing], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1504&type=info TIE Fighter], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1505&type=info X-Wing vs TIE Fighter] so that the mission could be played on all platforms the EH supports.

 “Don’t call me blue…”

[https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/TIE_Corps_rank_system#COL Colonel] Jagged Fell III is currently the Commander of [[Typhoon Squadron]], onboard the [[Challenge | ISD-II Challenge]]. And he is an Assistant to the Tactical Officer. He is also a [[Rear_Admiral_(Emperor%27s_Hammer) | Rear Admiral]] and the [[Command_Attache | Command Attache]] to the [[Tactical_Officer | Tactical Officer]].

==Background==

Born on [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Nirauan/Legends Nirauan], in [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/7_ABY/Legends 7 ABY], to a male Imperial TIE pilot and a female [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Chiss/Legends Chiss] weapons officer. Jagged was named in honor of the recently born son of the ruling [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Soontir_Fel/Legends Baron] of the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Empire_of_the_Hand Empire of the Hand], to whom Jagged’s father was related by marriage.

Jagged adored his mother, even though her purity focused family never fully accepted him due to his mixed heritage. His brown hair instantly marked him as other from the blue-black hair of full blood Chiss. Nevertheless, Jagged’s mother would take him on journeys into [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Unknown_Regions The Chaos] to experience the life in those regions, also teaching him several of the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Trade_languages trade languages] of the region.

The death of [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo/Legends Grand Admiral Mitth’raw’nuruodo] when Jagged was only [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/9_ABY/Legends 2 years] old rocked the social order of the Empire of the Hand for years to come. None in the top leadership believed Thrawn had truly died and thought it was just another of his opaque strategies. He had predicted that he would return to them [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/19_ABY/Legends ten years] after his reported death. The whole of the Empire focused on the tasks he had set out for it while they waited.

Their waiting came to an end abruptly and tragically for Jagged. [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Luke_Skywalker/Legends Luke Skywalker] and [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mara_Jade_Skywalker Mara Jade] found the Empire of the Hand that year. During their escape from capture, Mara Jade crashed her Luxury Yacht, [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jade%27s_Fire Jade’s Fire], into the hanger complex on Nirauan. Unfortunately, Jagged’s mother was serving a rotation as quarter master in the hanger that month and died in the assault.

This event forever altered Jagged’s life. He no longer believed in the invincibility of the Empire of the Hand and formed an abiding hatred for the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jedi/Legends Jedi] and the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/New_Republic/Legends New Republic] that they supported. His life also was forever altered by the fact his only parent now was his father, whom he privately believed to be a weak, facetious man.

When Jagged was [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/25_ABY/Legends eighteen years] old he entered the TIE Fighter Academy on Nirauan. He spent the next 4 years becoming more and more disillusioned with the Empire of the Hand as he saw them form alliances with the Jedi and the New Republic who he hated.

==Joining the TIE Corps and Typhoon Squadron==

On his graduation from the Academy when [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/29_ABY/Legends 22 years old] he immediately stole his [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TIE/d_%22Defender%22_Multi-Role_Starfighter TIE Defender] which he christened the [[Emperor's Hand|Emperor’s Hand]] and went in search of an Empire that would not fall under the influence of the New Republic and the hated Jedi.

It took Jagged 18 months of searching the outer reaches of the galaxy to find the Emperor’s Hammer and travel to Aurora to join the TIE Corps. But once he heard of the Hammer, he knew that he had finally found a home that would never bow to the force and will of the Republic.

After his initial on-boarding, he was assigned to Typhoon Squadron where he was further assigned to the third position of the third flight group. The fact that Jagged Fell III was flying in position 3-3 was too much of a coincidence for [[Master | General Master]] and he promptly dubbed Jagged “Three”. Jagged quickly found his home in the squadron and was an active presence in the squad room and went on to lead the squadron in points in the 2023 Raise the Flag competition that started just the day after he joined the squadron.

Later Jagged accepted the position of Flight Leader in Typhoon Squadron and remains in that position today. He was active in the SP Ace of the TIE Corps Competition, taking either 1st or 2nd place for the rest of ABY 31.

When early in ABY 32 the Emperor’s Hammer entered the Tkon Rift, Jagged volunteered as a wartime correspondent for the Imperial News Network, posting his daily reports about the events of the campaign, including several inspirational war posters.

==RtF Performance==

===2023===

After a short on-boarding process, Jagged threw himself into the competition with all he had. He eventually came out to be Typhoon Squadron’s top performer in the competition, placing 9th overall with a score of 2882. This made him the second highest scoring Lieutenant after the quickly becoming legendary [[Vanguard88 | Baron Vanguard88]]. During that month, Jagged flew 176 total missions from the EH compendium, submitted 20 memes to the TCCOM, submitted 2 terrible “artworks”, 60 Imperial University exams, and 2, prize-winning, fiction stories.

Both Jagged’s RtF fiction entries took 3rd in their respective rounds of competition. His first story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1694314445-8bc2cd16.pdf Typhoon Squadron: Into the Chaos], told the tale of a heroic battle engaged in by Typhoon Squadron over the world XC-50391-2. The story was told from the point-of-view of Typhoon Squadron’s intrepid leader [[Triji Boliv | Colonel Triji Boliv]]. His second story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1695481765-b83a230c.pdf Typhoon Squadron: Speaking Into the Chaos], was a less bombastic affair telling the tale of Jagged’s first few weeks in the squadron and his coming to realize this would be a good home for him.

The 60 Imperial University exams Jagged passed that month made him the single largest IU course taker for the month, with him alone accounting for 23.8% of all passed IU exams that month. Much to the begrudging annoyance of his squadron commander, who due to his role in the Training Office, had to grade many of them.

===2024===

Jagged came out swinging for RtF 2024, hoping to possibly snag a top 5 placing, he was quickly shown that this would not be in the cards for him. As the month wore on he slipped further down the leaderboard until he ended the month in 9th place, same as the previous year, with a final score of 3597. During the month Jagged flew a total of 408 total missions from the EH compendium, submitted 20 memes to the TCCOM, submitted 2 prize-winning, art pieces, 30 Imperial University exams, and 2, prize-winning, fiction stories.
[[Image:Final_Fell_2024_2.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>2024 Art Round 1</center>]]
Both Jagged’s RtF art entries took prizes, with the first being 4th and the second being 9th in their respective rounds of competition. Art entries also related to the stories that also won prizes, placing 5th in both rounds. His first story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1726025747-4d97b78d.pdf Liberation of the Rift], told the tale of him leading one of the opening assaults in the final liberation of the Tkon Rift from the Kilji and the start of the liberation of one of the Kilji held planets of the Rift. His second story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1727158584-83350831.pdf Deliverance of the Rift], was a direct continuation of the previous story telling the tale of the defense of an Imperial held world in the Rift from the Kilji counter-attack and the final destruction of the Kilji Command Ship above the last Kilji world in the Rift.
[[Image:Final_Fell_2024_4.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>2024 Art Round 2</center>]]

The 30 Imperial University exams Jagged passed that month made him the single largest IU course taker for the month, with him alone accounting for 12.7% of all passed IU exams that month.

===2025===

Once again Jagged came out strong, leading in the first few hours of the competition, trying to break his streak of only being in the top 10 but instead finish in the top 5. His strategy for this year was to focus on making the best art entries he could, and he succeeded in his goal having **BOTH** of his art entries taking first place. His first creation was a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvSaiY-LIQI video] that showed a New Republic convoy being ambushed by the Emperor's Hammer forces, flying their newly captured First Order craft. His [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKpwiQgY5yk second entry] was also a video, this time depicting the TIE Corps retreat from Jundaxa after the First Order's counterattack.

However, while his art entries did extremely well, even snagging him an Iron Star - Platinum Ribbon, his fiction entries ([https://tc.emperorshammer.org/view_fiction.php?id=524 1] & [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/view_fiction.php?id=553 2]) did not have the same resonance with the judges and as such he ended up **JUST** missing out on the 5th place finish by 35 points. He did however lead his squadron to a 3rd place finish, with a 100% participation rate for the competition.

==Mission Creation==

One of Jagged’s primary motivations to join the Emperor’s Hammer was to create custom missions for X-Wing Alliance, as it was the search for custom missions that led him to find the EH to begin with. Jagged started with the X-Wing book series that inspired him to pick the games up in the first place and started creating battles to adapt the Rogue Squadron books.

His first battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1479&type=info XWA-TC 70: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Borleias] was released approximately 3 months after he first joined the group with each subsequent battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1481&type=info XWA-TC 71: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Wedge's Stumble], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1482&type=info XWA-TC 72: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Krytos Opportunity], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1484&type=info XWA-TC 73: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Bacta War], releasing at approximately one month intervals.

After releasing these four battles covering the intial Stackpole novels he turned his attention to learning the new TIE Fighter Total Conversion mod for X-Wing Alliance and how to best make missions for the platform. He set about converting the 4 XWA battles he had made for the enhanced, modified game. All four battles have been remastered, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1487&type=info TFTC-TC 1: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Coruscant] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1490&type=info TFTC-TC 2: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Bacta War]. He has plans to make TFTC battles to cover the first 7 books of the X-Wing series, with a planned final total campaign of 37 or more missions. The first two Wraith Squadron battles, covering the first Wraith Squadron book, have been released, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1491&type=info TFTC-IW 1: Wraith Squadron: Part 1] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1495&type=info TFTC-IW 2: Wraith Squadron: Part 2].

He also has started to remaster some of his favorite battles from the XWA database, with the original authors permission. He has released a remaster of [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=520&type=info XWA-TC 14] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1496&type=info TFTC-TC 5: The History of the ISD Immortal], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=629&type=info XWA-TC 22] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1497&type=info TFTC-TC 6: The Career of AD Adrenaline], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=568&type=info XWA-F 29] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1503&type=info TFTC-F 4: Operation Takedown], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1250&type=info XWA-TC 52] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1501&type=info TFTC-TC 7: Rendezvous With Peril], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1218&type=info XWA-DB 9] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1509&type=info TFTC-DB 1: Heading for Pyrath].

While also working on his larger battles Jagged also has released several Free Battles to capture things happening in the Squadron at the time. The first was [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1480&type=info XWA-F 162: An Excellent E-Wing Demonstration] which is a mission designed to make use of the E-Wing patch that had been made for XWA years previously, but never utilized, much to the disappointment of several within Typhoon Squadron at the time. The second Free he made, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1489&type=info TFTC-F 1: A Changing of the Guard], was to celebrate the retirement of [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Stryker AD Stryker] and the elevation of [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Locke_Setzer VA Locke Setzer] as BGCOM for Battlegroup III. And he has released a quick challenge mission where the goal is to get through a maze as fast as possible, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1492&type=info TFTC-F 2: An aMAZEing Mission]. Also, upon assent to being the Commander of Typhoon Squadron he made a free to fictionalize his being asked to take the role [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1502&type=info TFTC-F 3: To B Free].

For the finale of the TIE Corps Wide Imperial Storm VII competition the Tactical Office, led by Jagged, developed an "EH Canon" mission where the TIE Corps is capturing the First Order's Fuel Depot above Zephyron. Jagged wrote and made the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1507&type=info TFTC] version of the mission and then converted it into base [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1506&type=info XWA]. At the same time the other members of the TAC Office converted the TFTC mission into [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1508&type=info X-Wing], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1504&type=info TIE Fighter], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1505&type=info X-Wing vs TIE Fighter] so that the mission could be played on all platforms the EH supports.

 “Don’t call me blue…”

[https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/TIE_Corps_rank_system#COL Colonel] Jagged Fell III is currently the Commander of [[Typhoon Squadron]], onboard the [[Challenge | ISD-II Challenge]]. And he is an Assistant to the Tactical Officer. He is also a [[Rear_Admiral_(Emperor%27s_Hammer) | Rear Admiral]] and the [[Command_Attache | Command Attache]] to the [[Tactical_Officer | Tactical Officer]].

==Background==

Born on [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Nirauan/Legends Nirauan], in [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/7_ABY/Legends 7 ABY], to a male Imperial TIE pilot and a female [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Chiss/Legends Chiss] weapons officer. Jagged was named in honor of the recently born son of the ruling [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Soontir_Fel/Legends Baron] of the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Empire_of_the_Hand Empire of the Hand], to whom Jagged’s father was related by marriage.

Jagged adored his mother, even though her purity focused family never fully accepted him due to his mixed heritage. His brown hair instantly marked him as other from the blue-black hair of full blood Chiss. Nevertheless, Jagged’s mother would take him on journeys into [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Unknown_Regions The Chaos] to experience the life in those regions, also teaching him several of the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Trade_languages trade languages] of the region.

The death of [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo/Legends Grand Admiral Mitth’raw’nuruodo] when Jagged was only [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/9_ABY/Legends 2 years] old rocked the social order of the Empire of the Hand for years to come. None in the top leadership believed Thrawn had truly died and thought it was just another of his opaque strategies. He had predicted that he would return to them [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/19_ABY/Legends ten years] after his reported death. The whole of the Empire focused on the tasks he had set out for it while they waited.

Their waiting came to an end abruptly and tragically for Jagged. [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Luke_Skywalker/Legends Luke Skywalker] and [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mara_Jade_Skywalker Mara Jade] found the Empire of the Hand that year. During their escape from capture, Mara Jade crashed her Luxury Yacht, [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jade%27s_Fire Jade’s Fire], into the hanger complex on Nirauan. Unfortunately, Jagged’s mother was serving a rotation as quarter master in the hanger that month and died in the assault.

This event forever altered Jagged’s life. He no longer believed in the invincibility of the Empire of the Hand and formed an abiding hatred for the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jedi/Legends Jedi] and the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/New_Republic/Legends New Republic] that they supported. His life also was forever altered by the fact his only parent now was his father, whom he privately believed to be a weak, facetious man.

When Jagged was [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/25_ABY/Legends eighteen years] old he entered the TIE Fighter Academy on Nirauan. He spent the next 4 years becoming more and more disillusioned with the Empire of the Hand as he saw them form alliances with the Jedi and the New Republic who he hated.

==Joining the TIE Corps and Typhoon Squadron==

On his graduation from the Academy when [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/29_ABY/Legends 22 years old] he immediately stole his [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TIE/d_%22Defender%22_Multi-Role_Starfighter TIE Defender] which he christened the [[Emperor's Hand|Emperor’s Hand]] and went in search of an Empire that would not fall under the influence of the New Republic and the hated Jedi.

It took Jagged 18 months of searching the outer reaches of the galaxy to find the Emperor’s Hammer and travel to Aurora to join the TIE Corps. But once he heard of the Hammer, he knew that he had finally found a home that would never bow to the force and will of the Republic.

After his initial on-boarding, he was assigned to Typhoon Squadron where he was further assigned to the third position of the third flight group. The fact that Jagged Fell III was flying in position 3-3 was too much of a coincidence for [[Master | General Master]] and he promptly dubbed Jagged “Three”. Jagged quickly found his home in the squadron and was an active presence in the squad room and went on to lead the squadron in points in the 2023 Raise the Flag competition that started just the day after he joined the squadron.

Later Jagged accepted the position of Flight Leader in Typhoon Squadron and remains in that position today. He was active in the SP Ace of the TIE Corps Competition, taking either 1st or 2nd place for the rest of ABY 31.

When early in ABY 32 the Emperor’s Hammer entered the Tkon Rift, Jagged volunteered as a wartime correspondent for the Imperial News Network, posting his daily reports about the events of the campaign, including several inspirational war posters.

==RtF Performance==

===2023===

After a short on-boarding process, Jagged threw himself into the competition with all he had. He eventually came out to be Typhoon Squadron’s top performer in the competition, placing 9th overall with a score of 2882. This made him the second highest scoring Lieutenant after the quickly becoming legendary [[Vanguard88 | Baron Vanguard88]]. During that month, Jagged flew 176 total missions from the EH compendium, submitted 20 memes to the TCCOM, submitted 2 terrible “artworks”, 60 Imperial University exams, and 2, prize-winning, fiction stories.

Both Jagged’s RtF fiction entries took 3rd in their respective rounds of competition. His first story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1694314445-8bc2cd16.pdf Typhoon Squadron: Into the Chaos], told the tale of a heroic battle engaged in by Typhoon Squadron over the world XC-50391-2. The story was told from the point-of-view of Typhoon Squadron’s intrepid leader [[Triji Boliv | Colonel Triji Boliv]]. His second story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1695481765-b83a230c.pdf Typhoon Squadron: Speaking Into the Chaos], was a less bombastic affair telling the tale of Jagged’s first few weeks in the squadron and his coming to realize this would be a good home for him.

The 60 Imperial University exams Jagged passed that month made him the single largest IU course taker for the month, with him alone accounting for 23.8% of all passed IU exams that month. Much to the begrudging annoyance of his squadron commander, who due to his role in the Training Office, had to grade many of them.

===2024===

Jagged came out swinging for RtF 2024, hoping to possibly snag a top 5 placing, he was quickly shown that this would not be in the cards for him. As the month wore on he slipped further down the leaderboard until he ended the month in 9th place, same as the previous year, with a final score of 3597. During the month Jagged flew a total of 408 total missions from the EH compendium, submitted 20 memes to the TCCOM, submitted 2 prize-winning, art pieces, 30 Imperial University exams, and 2, prize-winning, fiction stories.
[[Image:Final_Fell_2024_2.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>2024 Art Round 1</center>]]
Both Jagged’s RtF art entries took prizes, with the first being 4th and the second being 9th in their respective rounds of competition. Art entries also related to the stories that also won prizes, placing 5th in both rounds. His first story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1726025747-4d97b78d.pdf Liberation of the Rift], told the tale of him leading one of the opening assaults in the final liberation of the Tkon Rift from the Kilji and the start of the liberation of one of the Kilji held planets of the Rift. His second story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1727158584-83350831.pdf Deliverance of the Rift], was a direct continuation of the previous story telling the tale of the defense of an Imperial held world in the Rift from the Kilji counter-attack and the final destruction of the Kilji Command Ship above the last Kilji world in the Rift.
[[Image:Final_Fell_2024_4.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>2024 Art Round 2</center>]]

The 30 Imperial University exams Jagged passed that month made him the single largest IU course taker for the month, with him alone accounting for 12.7% of all passed IU exams that month.

===2025===

Once again Jagged came out strong, leading in the first few hours of the competition, trying to break his streak of only being in the top 10 but instead finish in the top 5. His strategy for this year was to focus on making the best art entries he could, and he succeeded in his goal having **BOTH** of his art entries taking first place. His first creation was a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvSaiY-LIQI video] that showed a New Republic convoy being ambushed by the Emperor's Hammer forces, flying their newly captured First Order craft. His [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKpwiQgY5yk second entry] was also a video, this time depicting the TIE Corps retreat from Jundaxa after the First Order's counterattack.

However, while his art entries did extremely well, even snagging him an Iron Star - Platinum Ribbon, his fiction entries ([https://tc.emperorshammer.org/view_fiction.php?id=524 1] & [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/view_fiction.php?id=553 2]) did not have the same resonance with the judges and as such he ended up **JUST** missing out on the 5th place finish by 35 points. He did however lead his squadron to a 3rd place finish, with a 100% participation rate for the competition.

==Mission Creation==

One of Jagged’s primary motivations to join the Emperor’s Hammer was to create custom missions for X-Wing Alliance, as it was the search for custom missions that led him to find the EH to begin with. Jagged started with the X-Wing book series that inspired him to pick the games up in the first place and started creating battles to adapt the Rogue Squadron books.

His first battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1479&type=info XWA-TC 70: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Borleias] was released approximately 3 months after he first joined the group with each subsequent battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1481&type=info XWA-TC 71: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Wedge's Stumble], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1482&type=info XWA-TC 72: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Krytos Opportunity], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1484&type=info XWA-TC 73: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Bacta War], releasing at approximately one month intervals.

After releasing these four battles covering the intial Stackpole novels he turned his attention to learning the new TIE Fighter Total Conversion mod for X-Wing Alliance and how to best make missions for the platform. He set about converting the 4 XWA battles he had made for the enhanced, modified game. All four battles have been remastered, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1487&type=info TFTC-TC 1: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Coruscant] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1490&type=info TFTC-TC 2: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Bacta War]. He has plans to make TFTC battles to cover the first 7 books of the X-Wing series, with a planned final total campaign of 37 or more missions. The first two Wraith Squadron battles, covering the first Wraith Squadron book, have been released, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1491&type=info TFTC-IW 1: Wraith Squadron: Part 1] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1495&type=info TFTC-IW 2: Wraith Squadron: Part 2].

He also has started to remaster some of his favorite battles from the XWA database, with the original authors permission. He has released a remaster of [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=520&type=info XWA-TC 14] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1496&type=info TFTC-TC 5: The History of the ISD Immortal], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=629&type=info XWA-TC 22] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1497&type=info TFTC-TC 6: The Career of AD Adrenaline], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=568&type=info XWA-F 29] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1503&type=info TFTC-F 4: Operation Takedown], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1250&type=info XWA-TC 52] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1501&type=info TFTC-TC 7: Rendezvous With Peril], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1218&type=info XWA-DB 9] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1509&type=info TFTC-DB 1: Heading for Pyrath].

While also working on his larger battles Jagged also has released several Free Battles to capture things happening in the Squadron at the time. The first was [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1480&type=info XWA-F 162: An Excellent E-Wing Demonstration] which is a mission designed to make use of the E-Wing patch that had been made for XWA years previously, but never utilized, much to the disappointment of several within Typhoon Squadron at the time. The second Free he made, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1489&type=info TFTC-F 1: A Changing of the Guard], was to celebrate the retirement of [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Stryker AD Stryker] and the elevation of [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Locke_Setzer VA Locke Setzer] as BGCOM for Battlegroup III. And he has released a quick challenge mission where the goal is to get through a maze as fast as possible, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1492&type=info TFTC-F 2: An aMAZEing Mission]. Also, upon assent to being the Commander of Typhoon Squadron he made a free to fictionalize his being asked to take the role [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1502&type=info TFTC-F 3: To B Free].

For the finale of the TIE Corps Wide Imperial Storm VII competition the Tactical Office, led by Jagged, developed an "EH Canon" mission where the TIE Corps is capturing the First Order's Fuel Depot above Zephyron. Jagged wrote and made the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1507&type=info TFTC] version of the mission and then converted it into base [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1506&type=info XWA]. At the same time the other members of the TAC Office converted the TFTC mission into [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1508&type=info X-Wing], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1504&type=info TIE Fighter], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1505&type=info X-Wing vs TIE Fighter] so that the mission could be played on all platforms the EH supports.

TFTC Custom Missions

2026-03-01T16:12:32Z

Jaggedfelliii:

{{Imperial University Course}}
==Introduction==
The Emperor's Hammer (EH) has adopted the TIE Fighter Total Conversion (TFTC) mod for X-Wing Alliance (XWA) as a supported platform for custom EH missions. For the most part, the creation of missions is the same between XWA and TFTC but there are a few differences that will be identified below. Additionally, TFTC has built into it many hooks that have increased the things that can be done in missions and below will be a quick overview of some of them and how to implement them into a mission/battle. This entry is not expected to be a comprehensive guide to all the things that can be done in TFTC but just a documenting of the things that have been used in EH missions so far.

The content of this guide is taken from experience using the different hooks and features. But the initial guide used to enable the author to use these features was the readmes that are posted with all hooks added by Jeremy Ansel and posted on his [https://github.com/JeremyAnsel/xwa_hooks GitHub] for the hooks. Please refer to the readme and guides in the GitHub for additional information or hooks not discussed below.

==Main Differences Between XWA and TFTC==
*The most noticeable difference is the Imperial theme of the Concourse/Briefings and the greatly improved graphics.
*Functionally, the per region craft limit has been eliminated. It was 96 craft per region, now it is 3,072 and has been tested higher.
*AI is able to attack more with lasers and warheads. Formerly the AI was limited to 64 simultaneous lasers/warheads in space. Now the limit is 1,024.
**This is one of the main balance differences between the versions. Capital ships are more deadly, but bomber squadrons are even more so. Defending capital ships from bombers is much more critical in TFTC due to the sheer number of warheads that could be launched at it by a large enough squadron.
*TFTC has added many new fighters, freighters, transports, capital ships, stations, and other objects such as extra-large asteroids.
*TFTC has added the SLAM feature back to the Missile Boat. This can also be added to any craft by modifying a configuration file. In game you activate/deactivate SLAM via the K key.
**If you plan for players in your mission to use the SLAM feature, you should tell them that it is available and to use the K key in a briefing or radio message.
*TFTC has fixed the gimbal lock issue allowing you to fly directly up or down without issues.
*TFTC has added time acceleration and deceleration. This is activated in game by pressing Ctrl+Q to activate/deactivate time acceleration and Ctrl+A to activate/deactivate time deceleration.
**If you plan for a player to use this feature, tell them how via a briefing or radio message.
*You now can have a basic HUD in the external view, allowing you to play in 3rd person view if you wish.
*The bug that prevented the changing of Missile Boat warheads that would disable the secondary warhead launcher if you tried to change the load out has been fixed.
*The bug in XWA that made the Veteran AI skill level for ships with a turret fire faster than Super Ace AI level has been fixed.

==Differences in EH Battles between XWA and TFTC==
The primary difference between XWA battle and TFTC battles in the EH is that a different battle and mission number is used for the first EH mission in TFTC than in XWA. For XWA, EH battles are all Battle 8 and start and Mission 53. For TFTC, EH has decided to start all battles at Battle 20 and Mission 100.

This, and other reasons, make it so that all TFTC missions will be installed manually via the zip files rather than using the Emperor's Hammer Battle Launcher (EHBL). And all TFTC battles will need to include a blank pilot file enabled to start at mission 100. If you do not know how to make the needed pilot file, please contact the TAC Office and a file will be sent to you.

Additionally, to ensure the fairness of all High Scores (HS) all TFTC battles, or free battles, must be "locked" to TFTC. This can be done in a number of ways but the four main ways are:

#Have more that 96 craft in a region when a mission critical craft is to spawn. This will ensure that if run in XWA it will not be able to be completed as the mission critical craft will not spawn. This method is NOT recommended as so large of battles can be hard to make fun to fly and can be quite taxing on those who have older systems.
#Have the player fly as a TFTC added craft in a mission. This works well as a way to lock a battle, but can limit your design decisions as few of the TFTC added craft are truly meant to be a player craft.
#Have the mothership of the player, or other mission critical craft, be a TFTC added craft. This works well as many cruisers and other capital ships were added by TFTC.
#Have a mission critical craft be a TFTC added craft. This can be done either by having the craft appear in mission, or by using a TFTC craft as a dummy/trigger craft for a mission critical role/aspect/goal. This is likely a superb way to lock a battle.

If, for your mission you will OVERWRITE any original game files, whether original or TFTC added, you MUST include clear and explicit instructions in your readme on what files the player will need to backup prior to installing your mission. You should take every care that, if possible, the modifications to the files are not such that it will break a player's game if they do not remember to restore their backups after completing your battle.

If you are wishing to "upgrade" an existing released XWA Battle from the EH Compendium two factors must both be met:
*You must be the original creator of the battle or have the original creator's direct consent.
**Exceptions can be made by the TAC if multiple good faith attempts have been made to obtain consent but the original creator has not responded.
*The upgrade cannot be purely a graphical upgrade. Something new must be added to bring value to the TFTC version above the XWA version. All upgrades are subject to TAC approval and sole judgement on if it is a sufficient improvement to the XWA version.

==Advanced Features/Hooks==
Most of these advanced features will require your mission to have a configuration file to tell the hooks what you want done in the mission. To create the configuration file you need to have a file in the \Mission directory, along side the mission.tie file, that it the same file name as your mission but with a .ini file extension. So, for example, if my mission file is 1B20M1_AR1.tie then my configuration file will be 1B20M1_AR1.ini.

It is highly recommended to install the [https://raw.github.com/JeremyAnsel/XwaToolsDownloader/master/XwaToolsDownloader/zip/XwaToolsDownloader.zip XWA Tools Package] from the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Project's website. These tools will enable you to do many things, not the least being able to create your own pilot files, look at and modify the craft .opt, look at and modify the .dat files and .cmb files in the game and many, many more things.

===Activate Hanger Red Alert===
Base XWA already had functionality to have the hanger danger alarms playing when you would board your mothership if it had taken hull damage in the mission. Now, through hooks, you can specify a mission begins with the hanger alarms blaring. This is a fun idea for missions where the player is scrambling to protect the ship that is already under attack. How you enable this is in the mission.ini file add a section that says:
[mission_tie] IsRedAlertEnabled = 1

===Control the Background Planet in the Concourse===
[[Image:FrontPlanet.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>Front Planet DAT Editor</center>]]
To be able to control what planet, or other image, is to be shown in the Concourse window at the top of the screen is now possible. This allows the player to have a greater sense of place in the battle. The author of this article strives to have the image in the concourse match the primary planet/backdrop of the initial region as much as possible to sell that the player is on the mothership in the initial region prior to going into the briefing. To change the backdrop shown in the window, first you should determine the backdrop you want to use. To do this use a .dat editor/explorer and look at the FRONTPLANET_TFTC.DAT in the \Resdata\ folder in the TFTC directory. There you will find the backdrop you want to use and make note of its ID.

Then, then in the mission.ini file add a section that says:
[concourse] FrontPlanetIndex = 15014 FrontPlanetPositionX = 350 FrontPlanetPositionY = 85
Where the FrontPlanetIndex is the ID from the DAT file and the X and Y positions control where in the window the backdrop will be seen. You will likely need to do some trial and error to determine where you want each backdrop to be in the window.

===Custom Backdrops===
There are now, with v1.4 of TFTC, two different ways to add high definition backgrounds to your missions. Each way has its own pluses and minuses.

====Mission Editor Backdrop Method====
The first way to add high definition backdrops to your mission is to use the original game's method of using images stored in a .dat file located in the \Resdata\ folder of the game directory. To be able to use this method you will need to enable it in the mission configuration file. At a minimum it is recommended to enable the built in HD backdrops by adding the following section to the mission.ini file:
[Resdata] Resdata\PlanetTFTC.dat

But, if you would like, you can also use this to add your own custom backdrops to a mission too. To do that first you will need to create a custom .dat file that contains your backdrops. A recommended way is to first backup the main backdrop file you are going to be using (Planet2.dat or PlanetTFTC.dat) and then opening the DAT file in a DAT editor and finding a backdrop, or backdrops, you do not plan to use in your mission/battle and replace them with your own images (highly recommended to experiment with the different compression options, namely Format 25C and BC7 after you have added the files to determine which results in the smallest file size of the images). Then save this modified DAT file in the \Resdata directory of the installation you are working on. Once you reload YOGEME, assuming your mission.ini file points at this new DAT file, it will be able to display your custom backdrops in the backdrop selection window and you can add them as normal.

Once you are done building your battle, you should identify what custom backdrops you used and delete all other backdrops from your custom file, except for your needed custom backdrops. Name this DAT file something unique (highly recommend naming it after your battle) and restore your backup copy of the main backdrop file. Then, in the mission.ini file update the Resdata section to call out both DAT files. The hook will look at the first file in the list first, and only if there is no backdrop in the slot called out will it look at the next file in line.
[Resdata] Resdata\Planet_AR2.dat Resdata\PlanetTFTC.dat
This allows for you to only need to include in your custom backdrop file your new backdrops, preventing excessively large file sizes for these files (the whole PlanetTFTC.dat file is over 700 MB).

This method is useful if you are adding only a single planet, or similar smaller image, or if the image will be used in multiple regions, but with different overall scene compositions as it will keep the file size as small as possible.

====Cube Maps====
However, with v1.4, a new method of controlling the backgrounds of the regions was introduced. This method replaces the default skybox of the XWA engine with a custom one that you specify, allowing you to have full control over the look of a region without needed to add actual backdrops to the mission file. This method has several advantages in that it saves the designer from having to use the limited number of FG that are allowed to be added to a mission file (192) on back drop elements. You will still need at least one back drop per region to allow you to specify the color, intensity, and primary direction of the light in the region, but all other background elements can be moved to the new Cube Map.

Other advantages that the Cube Map method allows for are that the images can be .jpg in file format and therefore can have a significant file size reduction over a normal backdrop file which essentially uses a .png file format to allow for alpha channel transparency. Additionally, the cube maps do not suffer from the issues that backdrops have of round elements becoming visibly distorted depending on their size and position in the region. Backdrops also suffer from flickering and pop in depending on their size and position in missions as well.

You can create your own cube map and include it in the download files for your battle/mission or you can call out one of the existing cube maps provided in the base TFTC-R installation. These default cube maps are stored in the \Effects\CubeMaps\ directory of the game files and at the time of writing, the base installation includes 142 different cube maps, but some of those are overlay style cube maps, or illumination maps for other cube maps. Discounting those there are 127 full cube maps included with the mod files. Several of the included cube maps are for Emperor's Hammer specific locations such as above Aurora, Eos, Carrida II, and Ghenna.

To use the cube maps you will first need to make sure you have at least one backdrop (normally a sun) in the region with its location, brightness, and color specified as you normally would for a XWA mission. Then you will need to enable cube maps within the mission configuration file. At a minimum it would be recommended to activate the new background starfield.

[SkyBoxes] AllRegions = Effects\CubeMaps\Stars_Dim AllRegionsSpecular = 0.25 AllRegionsAmbientInt = 0.1 AllRegionsAmbientMin = 0.01 AllRegionsReflectionRes = 16 Region3 = Effects\CubeMaps\Eos Region3Specular = 0.25 Region3AmbientInt = 0.10 Region3AmbientMin = 0.01 Region3ReflectionRes = 20 EnabledBackdrops = ALL RenderMode=Golden

If the above is added to the mission configuration file it will enable the new HD starfield to be active for all regions, and in Region 4 (the hook files use 0 as the index for Region 1) the background will be the "low orbit" above the moon of Eos with our capital planet of Aurora visible on the horizon.

For details on exactly what the other settings do, please refer to the Special Effects Readme file within the TFTC mod folders.

===Custom Ship Stats===
One of the more powerful, and dangerous, abilities granted by the TFTC hooks is the ability to change any ship's primary stats at a per FG and difficulty level, well really at a per FG color level. This gives the mission designer full control of how easy or hard it is to kill a craft, how fast it is, its maneuverability, etc. The danger of this is that you will need to modify the .ini file for any craft you wish to alter.

If a player forgets to restore the original craft configuration file after uninstalling your battle this can quickly cause issues for breaking other missions if you delete an existing craft profile or can cause inadvertent "cheating" for the player if you modify and existing one or use a generic name and another uses the same name. Therefore, it is EH TAC Office policy that if you are going to use custom craft profiles you must:
#Start with the baseline TFTC craft configuration file and only add your profile to the list. No modifying or deleting existing profiles.
#You must use a unique name (i.e. the Battle Name) for your profile.
How you go about using the custom craft stats is first, you open the configuration file for the craft you want to have altered stats. These files are located in the \FlightModels folder and have the same name as the craft .opt, but with a .ini file extension. In the configuration file, near the bottom of the file, there will be a section Named Stats Profile with a default profile provided. Here is an example from the TIE Fighter's Configuration file (TieFighter.ini):
[;StatsProfile_Default] Speed = 100 Acceleration = 20 Deceleration = 23 Roll = 46 Pitch = 26 Yaw = 48 HasShieldGenerator = 0 HasHyperdrive = 0 ShieldStrength = 20 HullStrength = 9 SystemStrength = 10
Copy that default profile and paste it at the end of all the existing profiles. Delete the ; and change "Default" to your custom profile name. You can also add a _Easy, _Medium, and/or _Hard after the profile name to allow you to specify different stats for different difficulty levels. Now, modify the stats as you desire (you can delete any lines you don't modify, but also don't have to). Here is an example, again for a TIE Fighter:
[StatsProfile_WS1_Easy] Speed = 100 Acceleration = 20 Deceleration = 23 Roll = 46 Pitch = 26 Yaw = 48 HasShieldGenerator = 0 HasHyperdrive = 0 ShieldStrength = 20 HullStrength = 72 SystemStrength = 80 [StatsProfile_WS1_Medium] Speed = 100 Acceleration = 20 Deceleration = 23 Roll = 46 Pitch = 26 Yaw = 48 HasShieldGenerator = 0 HasHyperdrive = 0 ShieldStrength = 20 HullStrength = 45 SystemStrength = 45 [StatsProfile_WS1_Hard] Speed = 100 Acceleration = 20 Deceleration = 23 Roll = 46 Pitch = 26 Yaw = 48 HasShieldGenerator = 0 HasHyperdrive = 0 ShieldStrength = 20 HullStrength = 9 SystemStrength = 10
You can see, with this profile in place, on Easy, a TIE Fighter will have 8 times more hull strength, on Medium, it will have 5 times more, and on Hard it will not have any additional hit points.

To use this modified stat profile in a mission, add the following section to the mission.ini file:
[StatsProfiles] TieFighter_fgc_0 = WS1
This tells the game to use the modified profile for all TIE Fighters with a Flight Group Color (fgc) of 0, or the first position in the mission editor (Red for rebel craft and no markings for Imperial). This allows you to have different FG with different stats in the mission as the "0" can be any number between 0-255 (note that if a craft does not have any defined markings at a fgc value, it will use the default, 0, markings). If you wished all craft to have the modified stats profile you would leave out the "_fgc_0".

===Skins===
You are also able to add custom skins to overlay, or even replace, the textures on any craft used in the mission. This can be used to add a custom color to your craft in the mission, add squadron patches to the outside of the ships, etc. With the addition of the v1.4 update to TFTC most craft Flight Group colors must now be controlled with skins as the standard alternate colors (red, blue, green, and gold) have been removed from most craft models.

A basic overview of how to make a simple overlay style skin to add custom markings and squadron patch is detailed below.

First, ensure you have installed an .opt editor, see tools link above. Second, ensure you have a image editor that allows for layers and changing the opacity of the layers. 

#Identify the craft you wish to add markings to. You will need to know the exact .opt file name for the craft. Note: Nearly all craft that as a player you can fly will have three separate .opt files for them. They will be the "main" .opt that is displayed when the craft is being flown by an AI, the cockpit .opt which is what you will see when flying the craft, and the exterior .opt which is what the craft will look like if you switch to the external view while flying.
#Check the /FlightModels/Skins folder to see if a folder exists for the .opt(s) you wish to add skins for. If there isn't an existing folder you will need to create it with the same "base name" as the .opt (I.E. if I want to add a skin for the TIEFighter.opt, there either must be a folder named TIEFighter or I need to create one). Create a folder in this folder with the name you wish to call your skin. It is best practice to pick a name that will be unique but also informative to what it is. If the folder does exist check to see if there is a folder named "Void" or "Blank" within it. If there is you can skip the need to export out of the .opt the textures you wish to modify or make overlays for.[[Image:OPT_Editor-Main_View.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>OPT Editor-Main View</center>]]
#Next, open the .opt in an .opt editor and determine what textures you want to modify or add overlays to. This can be a difficult thing to determine as the same texture may be used for multiple parts and sections of larger textures can also be used for smaller parts. One method is to the main “Edit” tab of the editor and select the “Face Groups” tab in the middle window. Now you will be able to navigate the different parts of the .opt and have them displayed on the right with an overall view of where the part is in the model and a detail view of just the section you have highlighted. The Face Groups will allow you to see the different parts of the section and what textures are used on them.[[Image:OPT_Editor-Textures.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>OPT Editor-Textures</center>]]
#Once you have determined the textures you wish to modify/add an overlay too go to the “Textures” tab on the left where you will now see a list of all textures used by the .opt. Right click the textures you want and “Save As” the texture as a “Color Map”. Note: If the textures you are modifying are not the default “Version 0” textures write down what the texture name is for that default (I.E. If I was modifying the yellow side panel for the X-Wing Exterior, TEX00083, I would need to know that the default texture is TEX00012). [[Image:Save_a_Texture.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>Save a Texture</center>]]
#Now open the textures you have saved in your image editor and either edit them directly or add layers to apply your new markings. One thing to be cognizant of is that the flat textures are often applied to curved surfaces or stretched/warped when applied in the model so if you are adding a patch or other image where these distortions would make a difference you will need to compensate your image to counteract these effects. If your intended use is as an overlay, you can delete the original texture from the base layer before saving the image as a PNG with the EXACT same dimensions and EXACT same name as the DEFAULT texture in the location you wish to replace. Note that the game will revert any textures effected by your skins to the default ones, so if you are wanting to add things to a different preexisting color scheme you will need to include the texture that you want to be used in your image. Place all your new textures/overlays in the folder you created.
#To call out this new set of textures in your mission, add the following to your mission.ini file. In this example, this will cause the game to overlay any textures in the “Typhoon” folder over all AI controlled TIE Fighters with a Flight Group Color of 0 (No markings).

[Skins] TieFighter_fgc_0 = Typhoon

This has been only a basic example of how to make and add skins to a mission. For more details, all installations of TFTC include a guide on how to make them and call them out in a mission. See \TFTC\Readme\Editing\Skins and Profile Guide.pdf in your installation.

===Fast Hyperspace Exit===
Normally when ships are exiting from hyperspace into the region you see them slowly decelerate from hyperspace for several seconds. This gives you plenty of warning that they are coming, and even allows you to start trying to get a warhead lock on them before they really have finished spawning into the region. If you want to change this behavior to more closely match the movies, where ships nearly instantly "pop" into the region, think Vader's Star Destroyer coming out in an instant in Rogue One, it can be done via a hook. This will give missions a more cinematic feel and make missions more challenging as the player won't have time to plan for the next wave as they will just be in the region and fighting by the time the radio message appears.

How you enable this is in the mission.ini file add a section that says:
[Hyperspace] ShortHyperspaceEffect = 1

===Object Profiles===
Object Profiles allow you to call out modified/alternate craft models at either a per FG level, or a whole craft type replacement. This is used to enable/add warhead launchers to craft that normally don't have them (TIE Fighter, TIE Interceptor, etc) or call out alternate versions of craft (i.e. Royal Guard TIE Interceptor) or even broken versions of craft to add to a battlefield. This guide won't go into how to make your own Object Profiles, see the guide in \TFTC\Readme\Editing\, but how to call for a existing profile in a mission is done as follows.

How you enable this is in the mission.ini file add a section that says:
[Objects] ObjectProfile_fg_# = ProfileName

Where the # is the FG index. Or:

[Objects] ObjectProfile_[Model] = ProfileName

Where you put in the base opt name for the craft in place of the [Model].

For example, if you want to enable warheads for all TIE Fighters you would need to add this to the mission.ini:

[Objects] ObjectProfile_TieFighter = Missile

===Shoot Through Ship Shields===
Normally in XWA, on Easy and Medium difficulties it is possible to destroy a capital ship's sub-systems (shield generators, laser turrets, etc.) while the shields are still up for the ship. This allows for the fast removal of an ISD's shields, or the ability to defang a ship as you strafe it. However, you are not able to do this on Hard difficulty. This has the bonus of greatly increasing the challenge of destroying a capital ship on Hard, but there are some missions where you may want the player to always be able to destroy an ISD's shields, even on hard.

To enable this, in the mission.ini file add a section that says:
[mission_tie] CanShootThroughtShieldOnHardDifficulty = 1

===O Key Functionality===
Normally in XWA, when a player presses the "O" key the nearest craft that belongs to a Global primary goal is selected. This can be a problem if you have multiple different types of goals all in the Global goal (i.e. Inspect 3 FG of convoy craft and kill 50% of the fighters escorting them). In that situation the O key might keep selecting the nearest fighter instead of another, critical craft. To fix that you can alter the behavior of the O key.

To manually tell the game what FG should be targetable by the O key add this to the mission.ini:
[mission_tie] KEY_O_TargetCraftFGs = values
Where the values are the FG indices of the FGs you want to have targetable. To find the indices look in YOGEME and select the FG and look at the bottom right of the "Craft" tab should be a section saying Flight Group #X of XX. Subtract 1 from this number (as the real index starts at 0, not 1 like YOGEME displays).

Normally in XWA, the O key will only select the closest craft, to have it cycle through all possible objective craft add this to the mission.ini:
[mission_tie] TargetCraftKeyMethod = 1

===Replacing Models===
One way to bring in a new model, .opt, into the battle is to replace an existing .opt in the Flight Models folder, this should rarely be done as it can cause massive problems for the player if they do not restore the original model from their backups after playing the battle. A better way is to have the game swap one model for another on the fly for your missions.

Words of caution first, to have your new craft able to fight you will need to make sure the Hard Point types in your new model match the types of the craft you are replacing. The range that you new model is able to fight over will be controlled by the ranges that the old model can fight over. It is best to extensively test your model replacement with the crafts you intend to replace, what works for one craft swap will not necessarily work for another.

To do this you will need to include the model file, .opt, for the new model you want, along with a model .ini if you want it to have speed, shield, etc. stats other than those of the craft you are replacing.

Then you will need to add this to the mission.ini:
[Objects] FlightModels\original_model.opt = FlightModels\new_model.opt

In place of the "original_model" have the file name of the craft you are replacing, and in the place of the "new_model" have the file name of your new craft. In the mission editor you will call out the original craft and it will be replaced in game.

To have the name of the new model when displayed on the radio and CMD in game be different you will first need to determine the model index of the craft you are replacing using the XWAWorkspace Editor/Viewer. Then you will need to add this to the mission.ini:
[mission_tie] craft, 183, name, Sovereign Class Super Star Destroyer craft, 183, specname, Sovereign Class Super Star Destroyer craft, 183, pluralname, Sovereign Class Super Star Destroyers craft, 183, shortname, SSSD

Where the 183 is the model index number of the craft you are replacing and the the names and such are for the new model you are adding.

To have the new model have different Stats from the replaced craft you will first need to add a stat profile to the new model's craft.ini and call out that profile in the mission.ini, see [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/TFTC_Custom_Missions#Custom_Ship_Stats Custom Ship Stats] above for how to do this.

==Other Enhancements==
Here are some other modifications you can make to your mission that do not use the new hooks.

===Adding Custom Crests===
With the addition of TFTC v1.4 the process for adding custom crests to the game has changed slightly. Now the custom crest needs to be a .webm file that is placed within the \Resdata\ folder, replacing one of the existing Squad#.webm files. It is recommended to match the existing crests' resolution of 600x600. Additionally, you will need to modify the FRONTTXT.txt file with the desired squadron/group names. Both the modified FRONTTXT.txt file and the new Squad#.webm file will need to be included in your battle/mission download files.

===Adding Custom Battle Medals===
To place your custom medal into the game, and have it awarded at the end of your battle:
#Create a PNG file of the medal with a transparent background.
#Create a small version to be displayed in the medal case in the quarters that is approximately 200x300 pixels.
#Create a large version to be displayed when the medal is awarded that is approximately 1280x1320 pixels.
#Create a place holder version of your medal to be displayed if the player is using the Golden dDraw that is 320x330 pixels (critical that it is the same aspect ratio as the large version).
#Using a .cbm editor, open the LBattle0.cbm file in the \Frontres\Medals folder and replace the image with your placeholder version of the custom medal.
#Using a .dat editor, open the Battle0_HD.dat file in the \Frontres\Medals folder and replace the image with your small version of the custom medal.
#Using a .dat editor, open the LBattle0_HD.dat file in the \Frontres\Medals folder and replace the image with your large version of the custom medal.
#Open the MEDALS.txt file in the \Frontres\Medals folder and edit it to change the first row number to the final mission of your battle. If you have a 4 mission battle, and you start at mission 100, the final mission number will be 103. Edit the other lines to be greater than the final mission number.
#Open the MedalsDescriptions.txt file in the main directory and edit the file to have your medal name as the first line.

===Backdrop Delay===
In TFTC you can chose to have a backdrop not appear until after a set time in a mission. You do this by setting the arrival time on the Arrival/Departure tab. Note: You cannot set arrival conditions only the time delay from the start of the mission.

===Combat Simulator Images===
The below instructions are for how to add your own custom Combat Simulator images, but with the transition to v1.4, and the HD Concourse, the process has gotten much more complicated and the files sizes needed have grown to a state that it will no longer be a supported addition to Emperor's Hammer battle/mission file downloads. The instructions for how to do it (for 1.3.4 and earlier versions of TFTC) are retained below in case someone wants to do it for their own use.

While not the most useful thing for a EH battle, as the Combat Simulator is not allowed for BSF submission, you are able to add images to be shown in the Simulator when playing your battle and missions. To do this you will need to add additional images to FrontEnd2_TFTCReimagined.dat in the Resdata folder of the TFTC-R installation.

In the .dat file you will need to add an overall battle image that is 510x260 pixels, an image for each mission that is also 510x260, and a shortcut/icon image for each mission that is 100x75.

You can make the images in any image editor, even Microsoft Paint. A good way to make the image is to export from the PlanetTFTC.dat file the star field image of your choice and any nebula and planets you might want to use in your images. Then open the star field image in your image editor and crop it to the 510x260 size and set that as the bottom layer of the image. Then layer on nebula and planets as desired to set your scene.

Then for the model images to place in the scene, using the Opt Explorer in the XWAU Tools you can open an image of any model in the game and manipulate it to be oriented how you like it on a neutral black background. Then make a screenshot of the model or take a screen clip using another utility. Paste this image on a new layer in your scene and select remove background in the image editor and it should do a pretty good job of it. Now repeat this for all craft and weapons you want in the scene and when happy with the image save as a PNG file or similar. Repeat for each mission and also make simplified mission icon images that are 100x75 in size.

Now, in the Dat Editor, add New entries to the 15210 id (only one in the file). For the overall battle image it will be Id 15210-2020 (size: 510x260). For mission 1 large image it will be Id 15210-101 (size: 510x260) and the number will increase by one for each new mission (ie. 15210-102, 15210-103, etc.). For the small mission icons that will be shown with the main battle screen the image will be Id 15210-1100 (size: 100x75) for mission 1 increasing by one for each new mission (ie. 15210-1101, 15210-1102, etc.). Once all your images are added, make sure to highlight them all and convert them to Format23 (if you don't the game will crash when the player tries to view the image in game).

 “Don’t call me blue…”

[https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/TIE_Corps_rank_system#COL Colonel] Jagged Fell III is currently the Commander of [[Typhoon Squadron]], onboard the [[Challenge | ISD-II Challenge]]. And he is an Assistant to the Tactical Officer. He is also a [[Rear_Admiral_(Emperor%27s_Hammer) | Rear Admiral]] and the [[Command_Attache | Command Attache]] to the [[Tactical_Officer | Tactical Officer]].

==Background==

Born on [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Nirauan/Legends Nirauan], in [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/7_ABY/Legends 7 ABY], to a male Imperial TIE pilot and a female [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Chiss/Legends Chiss] weapons officer. Jagged was named in honor of the recently born son of the ruling [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Soontir_Fel/Legends Baron] of the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Empire_of_the_Hand Empire of the Hand], to whom Jagged’s father was related by marriage.

Jagged adored his mother, even though her purity focused family never fully accepted him due to his mixed heritage. His brown hair instantly marked him as other from the blue-black hair of full blood Chiss. Nevertheless, Jagged’s mother would take him on journeys into [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Unknown_Regions The Chaos] to experience the life in those regions, also teaching him several of the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Trade_languages trade languages] of the region.

The death of [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo/Legends Grand Admiral Mitth’raw’nuruodo] when Jagged was only [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/9_ABY/Legends 2 years] old rocked the social order of the Empire of the Hand for years to come. None in the top leadership believed Thrawn had truly died and thought it was just another of his opaque strategies. He had predicted that he would return to them [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/19_ABY/Legends ten years] after his reported death. The whole of the Empire focused on the tasks he had set out for it while they waited.

Their waiting came to an end abruptly and tragically for Jagged. [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Luke_Skywalker/Legends Luke Skywalker] and [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mara_Jade_Skywalker Mara Jade] found the Empire of the Hand that year. During their escape from capture, Mara Jade crashed her Luxury Yacht, [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jade%27s_Fire Jade’s Fire], into the hanger complex on Nirauan. Unfortunately, Jagged’s mother was serving a rotation as quarter master in the hanger that month and died in the assault.

This event forever altered Jagged’s life. He no longer believed in the invincibility of the Empire of the Hand and formed an abiding hatred for the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jedi/Legends Jedi] and the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/New_Republic/Legends New Republic] that they supported. His life also was forever altered by the fact his only parent now was his father, whom he privately believed to be a weak, facetious man.

When Jagged was [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/25_ABY/Legends eighteen years] old he entered the TIE Fighter Academy on Nirauan. He spent the next 4 years becoming more and more disillusioned with the Empire of the Hand as he saw them form alliances with the Jedi and the New Republic who he hated.

==Joining the TIE Corps and Typhoon Squadron==

On his graduation from the Academy when [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/29_ABY/Legends 22 years old] he immediately stole his [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TIE/d_%22Defender%22_Multi-Role_Starfighter TIE Defender] which he christened the [[Emperor's Hand|Emperor’s Hand]] and went in search of an Empire that would not fall under the influence of the New Republic and the hated Jedi.

It took Jagged 18 months of searching the outer reaches of the galaxy to find the Emperor’s Hammer and travel to Aurora to join the TIE Corps. But once he heard of the Hammer, he knew that he had finally found a home that would never bow to the force and will of the Republic.

After his initial on-boarding, he was assigned to Typhoon Squadron where he was further assigned to the third position of the third flight group. The fact that Jagged Fell III was flying in position 3-3 was too much of a coincidence for [[Master | General Master]] and he promptly dubbed Jagged “Three”. Jagged quickly found his home in the squadron and was an active presence in the squad room and went on to lead the squadron in points in the 2023 Raise the Flag competition that started just the day after he joined the squadron.

Later Jagged accepted the position of Flight Leader in Typhoon Squadron and remains in that position today. He was active in the SP Ace of the TIE Corps Competition, taking either 1st or 2nd place for the rest of ABY 31.

When early in ABY 32 the Emperor’s Hammer entered the Tkon Rift, Jagged volunteered as a wartime correspondent for the Imperial News Network, posting his daily reports about the events of the campaign, including several inspirational war posters.

==RtF Performance==

===2023===

After a short on-boarding process, Jagged threw himself into the competition with all he had. He eventually came out to be Typhoon Squadron’s top performer in the competition, placing 9th overall with a score of 2882. This made him the second highest scoring Lieutenant after the quickly becoming legendary [[Vanguard88 | Baron Vanguard88]]. During that month, Jagged flew 176 total missions from the EH compendium, submitted 20 memes to the TCCOM, submitted 2 terrible “artworks”, 60 Imperial University exams, and 2, prize-winning, fiction stories.

Both Jagged’s RtF fiction entries took 3rd in their respective rounds of competition. His first story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1694314445-8bc2cd16.pdf Typhoon Squadron: Into the Chaos], told the tale of a heroic battle engaged in by Typhoon Squadron over the world XC-50391-2. The story was told from the point-of-view of Typhoon Squadron’s intrepid leader [[Triji Boliv | Colonel Triji Boliv]]. His second story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1695481765-b83a230c.pdf Typhoon Squadron: Speaking Into the Chaos], was a less bombastic affair telling the tale of Jagged’s first few weeks in the squadron and his coming to realize this would be a good home for him.

The 60 Imperial University exams Jagged passed that month made him the single largest IU course taker for the month, with him alone accounting for 23.8% of all passed IU exams that month. Much to the begrudging annoyance of his squadron commander, who due to his role in the Training Office, had to grade many of them.

===2024===

Jagged came out swinging for RtF 2024, hoping to possibly snag a top 5 placing, he was quickly shown that this would not be in the cards for him. As the month wore on he slipped further down the leaderboard until he ended the month in 9th place, same as the previous year, with a final score of 3597. During the month Jagged flew a total of 408 total missions from the EH compendium, submitted 20 memes to the TCCOM, submitted 2 prize-winning, art pieces, 30 Imperial University exams, and 2, prize-winning, fiction stories.
[[Image:Final_Fell_2024_2.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>2024 Art Round 1</center>]]
Both Jagged’s RtF art entries took prizes, with the first being 4th and the second being 9th in their respective rounds of competition. Art entries also related to the stories that also won prizes, placing 5th in both rounds. His first story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1726025747-4d97b78d.pdf Liberation of the Rift], told the tale of him leading one of the opening assaults in the final liberation of the Tkon Rift from the Kilji and the start of the liberation of one of the Kilji held planets of the Rift. His second story, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/fiction/1727158584-83350831.pdf Deliverance of the Rift], was a direct continuation of the previous story telling the tale of the defense of an Imperial held world in the Rift from the Kilji counter-attack and the final destruction of the Kilji Command Ship above the last Kilji world in the Rift.
[[Image:Final_Fell_2024_4.png|thumb|200px|Right|<center>2024 Art Round 2</center>]]

The 30 Imperial University exams Jagged passed that month made him the single largest IU course taker for the month, with him alone accounting for 12.7% of all passed IU exams that month.

===2025===

Once again Jagged came out strong, leading in the first few hours of the competition, trying to break his streak of only being in the top 10 but instead finish in the top 5. His strategy for this year was to focus on making the best art entries he could, and he succeeded in his goal having **BOTH** of his art entries taking first place. His first creation was a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvSaiY-LIQI video] that showed a New Republic convoy being ambushed by the Emperor's Hammer forces, flying their newly captured First Order craft. His [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKpwiQgY5yk second entry] was also a video, this time depicting the TIE Corps retreat from Jundaxa after the First Order's counterattack.

However, while his art entries did extremely well, even snagging him an Iron Star - Platinum Ribbon, his fiction entries ([https://tc.emperorshammer.org/view_fiction.php?id=524 1] & [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/view_fiction.php?id=553 2]) did not have the same resonance with the judges and as such he ended up **JUST** missing out on the 5th place finish by 35 points. He did however lead his squadron to a 3rd place finish, with a 100% participation rate for the competition.

==Mission Creation==

One of Jagged’s primary motivations to join the Emperor’s Hammer was to create custom missions for X-Wing Alliance, as it was the search for custom missions that led him to find the EH to begin with. Jagged started with the X-Wing book series that inspired him to pick the games up in the first place and started creating battles to adapt the Rogue Squadron books.

His first battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1479&type=info XWA-TC 70: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Borleias] was released approximately 3 months after he first joined the group with each subsequent battle, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1481&type=info XWA-TC 71: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Wedge's Stumble], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1482&type=info XWA-TC 72: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Krytos Opportunity], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1484&type=info XWA-TC 73: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Bacta War], releasing at approximately one month intervals.

After releasing these four battles covering the intial Stackpole novels he turned his attention to learning the new TIE Fighter Total Conversion mod for X-Wing Alliance and how to best make missions for the platform. He set about converting the 4 XWA battles he had made for the enhanced, modified game. All four battles have been remastered, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1487&type=info TFTC-TC 1: Anti-Rogue Squadron: Battle for Coruscant] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1490&type=info TFTC-TC 2: Anti-Rogue Squadron: The Bacta War]. He has plans to make TFTC battles to cover the first 7 books of the X-Wing series, with a planned final total campaign of 37 or more missions. The first two Wraith Squadron battles, covering the first Wraith Squadron book, have been released, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1491&type=info TFTC-IW 1: Wraith Squadron: Part 1] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1495&type=info TFTC-IW 2: Wraith Squadron: Part 2].

He also has started to remaster some of his favorite battles from the XWA database, with the original authors permission. He has released a remaster of [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=520&type=info XWA-TC 14] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1496&type=info TFTC-TC 5: The History of the ISD Immortal], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=629&type=info XWA-TC 22] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1497&type=info TFTC-TC 6: The Career of AD Adrenaline], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=568&type=info XWA-F 29] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1503&type=info TFTC-F 4: Operation Takedown], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1250&type=info XWA-TC 52] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1501&type=info TFTC-TC 7: Rendezvous With Peril], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1218&type=info XWA-DB 9] as [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1509&type=info TFTC-DB 1: Heading for Pyrath].

While also working on his larger battles Jagged also has released several Free Battles to capture things happening in the Squadron at the time. The first was [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1480&type=info XWA-F 162: An Excellent E-Wing Demonstration] which is a mission designed to make use of the E-Wing patch that had been made for XWA years previously, but never utilized, much to the disappointment of several within Typhoon Squadron at the time. The second Free he made, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1489&type=info TFTC-F 1: A Changing of the Guard], was to celebrate the retirement of [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Stryker AD Stryker] and the elevation of [https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Locke_Setzer VA Locke Setzer] as BGCOM for Battlegroup III. And he has released a quick challenge mission where the goal is to get through a maze as fast as possible, [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1492&type=info TFTC-F 2: An aMAZEing Mission]. Also, upon assent to being the Commander of Typhoon Squadron he made a free to fictionalize his being asked to take the role [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1502&type=info TFTC-F 3: To B Free].

For the finale of the TIE Corps Wide Imperial Storm VII competition the Tactical Office, led by Jagged, developed an "EH Canon" mission where the TIE Corps is capturing the First Order's Fuel Depot above Zephyron. Jagged wrote and made the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1507&type=info TFTC] version of the mission and then converted it into base [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1506&type=info XWA]. At the same time the other members of the TAC Office converted the TFTC mission into [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1508&type=info X-Wing], [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1504&type=info TIE Fighter], and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/download.php?id=1505&type=info X-Wing vs TIE Fighter] so that the mission could be played on all platforms the EH supports.

=Readme Background=
During Imperial Storm 6 I got the idea to make a battle featuring a squadron other than Typhoon in the lead role and arrived at wanting to make a battle featuring Lambda Squadron. When the Battle of B1307 and B1208 happened in the competition I felt the strong need to tell that story and to Remember the Roost.

The TIE Corps has been tasked with defending the Tkon Rift and defeating the religious slavers, the Kilji. The TIE Corps has split into three equal sub-fleets with the ISDII Hammer leading the Eastern Command. They are sweeping up the middle of the Rift seeking to break through to the enemy’s rear line and searching for any enemy forces to eliminate...

==Mission 1: Hunting the Enemy==
[[File:TFTC-TC_13-m1.png]]
===Commander's Briefing===
Lord Grand Admiral Darth Rapier has sensed a dark presence coming from the unknown regions. After conferring with the Grand Master of the Secret Order and the TIE Corps Commander it was decided that a portion of the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet must move to respond to this potential threat, or potential ally.

The move was a long one, taking years due to attacks and raids along the way but finally the Fleet finished its move towards galactic north into the Unknown Regions in the area of Bakura. The next leg of our journey took us into a region called the Chaos.

The Chaos is a very dangerous place to navigate due to supernovae, black holes, gravity wells, and stranger phenomena. These hazards made navigation computers unreliable, and are the source of the name "Chaos". Due to such hazards, hyperspace jumps are short and require frequent course correction, taking long periods of time just to go from one system to the next.

Many political factions occupy the Chaos with the greatest of them, and our most natural ally, being the Chiss Ascendancy, a great but very secretive power. Other potential allies in the area also include the Paccian Governance, Garwian Unity, Paataatus Hiveborn, Vak Combine, and the Lioaoin Regime.

After we arrived in the Chaos, we discovered the old Imperial colony of XC-50391 abandoned without apparent reason. But from its databanks, we learned of “Navigators.” Beings with the precognitive ability to safely guide a ship in hyperspace through the Chaos.

The TIE Corps and the Grand Admiral quickly made contact with the Navigator’s Guild and contracted several of their members for long term use by various parts of the fleet.

With the aid of the Navigators, the Fleet made contact with several member states in the area, and found that the Kilji had been making raids on all of them over the last several months. The Kilji are a large group of religious fanatics from the far side of the cluster that are bent on converting everyone to their beliefs, and if they can’t be converted then they are to be killed.

We made contact with the Chiss Ascendancy and introduced ourselves in an effort to reestablish Imperial relations with the secretive people. The fact that we are a unit formed by Grand Admiral Ronin, a Chiss himself, aided in this.

We learned from the leader of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force that a large fleet of Kilji, a Kilhorde, seemed to be planning a mass attack on the Cluster.

The problem is that the various fleets of the cluster can only protect their own territories and there is a gap.

The Tkon Rift, a nebula located between the Kilji Illumine and a lot of the other species of the cluster. If the Kilji send a large fleet through it, they could strike at the rear and sides of the cluster’s inhabitants, including the Chiss. No single group has enough forces to fill this gap, and none of them trust each other enough to work together. If the Emperor’s Hammer can fill this gap, it would relieve the rest to defend their borders.

The Fleet has been divided into three sub-fleets, each a combination of ships from the separate Battlegroups. The Eastern Command comprises over a third of the TIE Corps, and is headed by the ISDII Hammer, ISDII Relentless, and MC-40 Roost.

We are sweeping up the middle of the Rift seeking to break through to the enemy’s rear line and searching for any enemy forces to eliminate on our journey.

===Tactical Briefing Text===
Alright Pops, I have assigned Lambda Squadron to be today's forward scouts.

You are to take three other pilots with you and patrol a sector ahead of the Fleet.

As your normal craft are not suited to reconnaissance work, you will be flying in TIE Advanced fighters today. And I don't want to hear any requests to fly your Tugs instead.

We are currently in Sector 1308 with our goal being Sector 1107 and the planet we know as P3009, we really should come up with a better name.

You are to go first to 1307, and then on to 1207 and finally 1107. Along the way keep a lookout for an Kilji ships that we can come to eliminate.

If you find any significant Kilji forces, gather Intel on them and then report back to the Hammer.

Due to the nature of the Chaos your fighters cannot freely navigate in hyperspace.

Your navicomputers are only programmed to journey to 1307, 1207, 1107, and finally back to 1307 directly from 1107.

Good luck.

<RA Genie> OK Lambda, get out there and scout our path, I want to be to that planet as quick as we can

<COL Gytheran><Jawaese> We got this Blue Buns. Wolve, Sam, and Cheeks, form up on me and let's get moving

<MAJ Berkana><Ithorese> On your left Pops

<LCM Arsio> I am your right hand man Pops

<MAJ DemWookieCheeks> And I will guard your butt Colonel Pops, sir

<Gytheran> How come that doesn't seem to comfort me?

<Arsio> Who wouldn't want Cheeks guarding their rear? He is so good at it

<DemWookieCheeks> Lots of practice from before you all were born

<Berkana> Why, so much practice? Do that many want to smack that?

<DemWookieCheeks> More than you might believe

<Arsio> Ohh, I would believe it. Have you seen the size of them?

<Gytheran> Seen them? They're eye level for me! Some nights I go to sleep and all I see is two ochre hills in my dreams

<Berkana> You sure you want to talk about those dreams?

<Arsio> I am sure they are pleasant dreams, nestled in that deep valley

<Gytheran> Alright, knock it off. We got a mission to finish

<Berkana> But where is the fun in finishing quickly?

<Arsio> Looks pretty empty here

<Gytheran> Agreed, calling the Hammer to let them know it is safe to move the Fleet up to this Sector

<Arsio> Kriff! That is a big kriffing fleet of Marmalades!

<Gytheran> Alright Lambda, stay tight on my wing and let's inspect this fleet so we know JUST how much we are going to be out matched if they find our Fleet. Remember, don't engage unless you have no choice. We are scouts not attackers right now

<DemWookieCheeks> My board shows that is half of their capital ships

<Gytheran> OK, now to get out of here

<Arsio> Are we heading straight back to the Fleet in 1307?

<Berkana> If we do that, they may be able to follow us. We should head on to 1107 as we have a hyperspace solution to get from there directly back to 1307

<Berkana> Good call, give me a moment to pull up the course back to 1307

<DemWookieCheeks> Marmalade fighters just jumped into the system, they followed us!

<Gytheran> Destroy them so they can't track our exit vector

<DemWookieCheeks> Marmalades are toast! We had them for breakfast!

<Berkana> Course back to 1307 laid in

<Gytheran> Hammer, we got problems. It looks like half the kriffing Kilhorde is in the next sector over

<Genie> OK, get back to the Hammer for debriefing

<Arsio> Pops! I show Marmalade fighters just entered the system

<Genie> Must be their forward scouts. Lambda take them out before they report our position!

<DemWookieCheeks> We aren't going to make it in time, they are too far away!

<DemWookieCheeks> They got away!

<Genie> You did what you could, get back here so we can talk about just how big a mess we are in

<Gytheran> Hammer, we just got away from what must have been half the Kilhorde!

<Genie> And you came straight here!? What if you were followed!

<Arsio> They followed us alright! I show Kilji fighters just entered the system!

<Genie> Take them out before they report back!

<DemWookieCheeks> Too late! They got away!

<Genie> Lambda, get your kriffing butts back here so we can have a chat about Operational Security!

===Victory Briefing===
The patrol pilots were gathered in Rear Admiral Genie's office looking over the data they had collected on their scouting run.

“Well, there is no easy way to put this, they have us outnumbered and outgunned,” RA Genie began. “It would have been nice if you had been able to destroy their scouts before they escaped into hyperspace, but I know they were just too far out from your position for you to have gotten to them all.”

“We expect their fleet to reach us within a few hours and block our escape from this Sector. Damn this Rift and the Chaos as a whole. It just takes too long for us to calculate each hyperspace jump for us to get the fleet out of this Sector before they arrive, we can't even go back the way we came due to the shifting nature of the nebula here.”

“Sir, we don't know how effective their weapons and shield systems are going to be against our ships,” put in Gytheran. “I think we may have a chance to deal a significant blow to these orange freaks''

“Of course I believe our pilots and ships can severely damage these Kilji, I am just talking of the tactical necessity of always having an exit route available for our forces. Either way we are sure to see significant action soon, get back to the rest of your pilots and begin your flight preparations. Dismissed.”

==Mission 2: The Bloody Nebula==
[[File:TFTC-TC_13-m2.png]]
===Commander's Briefing===
The pilots of the Eastern Fleet prepared themselves for the coming battle. They knew that they had the dubious honor to be at the tip of the spear for the Emperor's Hammer's first major engagement with the Kilji Kilhorde.

In recent days other TIE Corps forces had fought and destroyed lone or paired small scout ships of the religious zealots, but none had seen the combat abilities of the crusading War Cruisers and Battle Cruisers of the Kilji as of yet.

They certainly looked to be of similar size and firepower to ships the pilots were familiar with, being seemingly ISD and VSD analogs, but they were about to find out their true nature.

The hyperspace anomalies around them were severely limiting any avenues of withdrawal, if Rear Admiral Genie called for one in the battle. The Navigator informed the Admiral that they would need several minutes after the Kilji arrived to calculate a safe exit vector for a fleet of the Eastern deployment’s size.

It would be up to the brave pilots of the TIE Corps to destroy the enemy’s ability to damage the Hammer and her escorts. Or failing that, hold them at bay until the exit could be affected.

===Tactical Briefing Text===
Ok, I am not going to pretend on this one, we are in for a slog of a battle.

If the intel gathered by Pops and the gang is to believe we will be outnumbered significantly in this fight.

But we don't know if these Kilji ships are all bark and no bite yet so we are going to be pursuing a two front strategy.

First, we will attack the Kilji with our bombers and support vessels to ascertain their capabilities.

Lambda, you will be in TIE Defenders for the battle and you are responsible for escorting the bombers on their mission.

At the same time our Navigator will chart us a course out of this Sector, just in case their forces prove too much for us.

But we will have to wait for the Kilji to arrive first so we know which of the limited hyperspace exits in this Sector we will have available to us for our withdrawal.

If it comes to that, it will fall on the pilots of the TIE Corps to defend as many of our ships as you can while we make the needed calculations.

Good luck.

===Radio Messages===
<CM LPhoenix> What do you think? Any chance they DON'T bring their whole fleet? Maybe they like fair fights or being outnumbered?

<MAJ Keblaomega> These orange freaks have not given me the impression that they are all that interested in fair fights. More the convert or die types, and they generally are bullies, and bullies don't fight if they aren't certain they can win

<COL Gytheran><Jawaese> Yeah, I don't see them not bringing the hammer down on us

<RA Genie> Poor choice of words Colonel. Anyway tighten up pilots, sensors show they are arriving soon

<LCM Arsio> Here we go!

<Genie> Bombers, focus on those corvettes first. Fighters, keep the Kilji fighters off our ships and bombers. Steer clear of those War and Battle Cruisers for now

<MAJ DemWookieCheeks> Their corvettes are dropping like Phosfleas!

<LPhoenix> That is all their corvettes!

<Genie> Lambda, we show their bombers are targeting the flagships! Keep them off of us!

<Keblaomega> We are losing corvettes left and right!

<Genie> I said to steer clear of the big ships, keep focused on their smaller craft

<LPhoenix> We have lost all our frigates!

<LPhoenix> No! We lost all our corvettes!

<Keblaomega> Our Fleet can’t take much more of this!

<Genie> Lambda, the Hammer’s shields are almost down!

<Genie> Protect the Relentless, it is almost out of shields!

<Genie> The Roost needs help, its shields are about to fail!

<Genie> That’s it! I am ordering all remaining forces to retreat! We have sent over the hyperspace route to your computers

<Gytheran> Lambda, you heard Blue Buns, get to our exit vector! On the double!

<Genie> Colonel, I told you to get out of there!

<STRKC Hermes> We’re done for!

<STRKC Hermes><Breaking up> Our com...antenna...hit...can’t...coordinates...remember us...

<Hermes>We took a hit to the hyperdrive and can’t jump. Remember us!

<STRKC Mithras> We’re going down!

<STRKC Mithras> We’re cut off from the exit point. We aren’t going to make it! For the TIE Corps!

<A/CRS Pan> We’re breaking up!

<A/CRS Pan> We will guard your retreat, it has been an honor. Go!

<A/CRS Aedgillis> For the Empire!

<A/CRS Aedgillis> Someone has to hold the line! Get out of here!

<A/CRS Ratchet> We’re about to blow!

<Ratchet> Our hyperdrive won’t come on line. We will do what we can

<A/CRS Chisel> We are venting atmosphere!

<A/CRS Chisel> Get the intel back to the fleet! We’ll hold them off!

<A/CRS Pliers> We are getting crushed!

<A/CRS Pliers> Our hull integrity can’t withstand a hyperspace jump. For the Emperor’s Hammer!

<A/CRS Torch> We’re burning up!

<A/CRS Torch> Our engines are out. Never give up! Never surrender!

<INT Wrench> The gravity generators are exploding!

<INT Wrench> We are caught in some gravity anomaly and can’t break free. Go on without us!

===Victory Briefing===
Of the original thirty-three capital ships of the Eastern Fleet, three remain. They had entered the battle with two Imperial-Class Star Destroyers, ten cruisers, three frigates, eighteen corvettes, and all the accompanying fighters and support craft. They ended the battle of B1307 with only the two Star Destroyers, both heavily damaged, and one Light Mon Calamari Cruiser, lightly damaged. Of the fighters and support craft, only the pilots of the ISDII Hammer remain, all others have been lost to the hated Kilji.

The Kilji had started the battle with four Imperial-Class Star Destroyer analogs, six Victory-Class Star Destroyer analogs, six cruisers, eight corvettes, and all the associated fighters. The Emperor’s Hammer’s forces were able to destroy all the enemy fighters, all their corvettes, four of the cruisers, one Victory-Class analog, and severely damage one of the Imperial-Class analogs. But there is no sugar coating it, the Eastern Fleet has been wiped out. They have reduced the combat effectiveness of the Kilhorde by roughly half, but almost all the losses have been of easily replaceable fighters and smaller ships, the Kilji’s holy crusade has not been stopped in the slightest.

Now, the remaining three ships are on a desperate mission to reach friendly lines in-order to effect repairs before it is too late.

==Mission 3: A Tactical Withdrawal==
[[File:TFTC-TC_13-m3.png]]
===Commander's Briefing===
The battered remains of the Eastern Fleet are limping through space, desperate to reach Western Fleet. But it will take days to reach them at the jump by jump pace they are forced to endure due to this damnable Chaos.

They are sending out what scouts they can in front of the fleet to try to escape the hated Kilji.

===Tactical Briefing Text===
With the losses we took in what is now known across the Emperor's Hammer as the Battle of B1307, we can only afford to send out two TIE Advanced fighters on today's patrol.

Major Keblaomega and Commander LPhoenix, you will be our eyes and will be responsible to prove our next few jumps safe for our damaged ships.

First go to Sector 1207, as we think the Marmalades won't guess we would head for the same sector they launched their attack on us from.

After that, we will proceed to Sectors 1106 and 1006, skirting around P3009 as they are sure to have some observers on the planet.

Good luck.

===Radio Messages===
<RA Genie> Ok you two, get out there and check to make sure the coast is clear. We are still working to effect repairs for our hyperdrive after the battle damage and the emergency jump we made

<MAJ Keblaomega> You can count on us Admiral

<CM LPhoenix> We will be back before you know it

<Keblaomega> I am not so sure about the plan for us to move through space we KNOW that fleet was just days ago

<LPhoenix> It makes a certain perverse logic to go where they would never think we would go. And it is not like we are going in blind with the fleet, they are sending us to check that the sector is clear of Kilji spies first

<Keblaomega> Point granted. Alright, hyper buoy coming up now

<LPhoenix> Ok, my scanners aren’t finding any marmalades

<Keblaomega> Same here, but we should check out those satellites to make sure that they didn’t leave any type of probe droid hidden in them

<LPhoenix> On your wing

<LPhoenix> Hey Kebla, I have a question to ask you. Does the squad room smell off to you today?

<Keblaomega> I mean not to me, but your sense of smell is better than mine

<LPhoenix> I just thought I would ask as you aren’t human and maybe you could smell or sense something off too

<Keblaomega> Well, as most of the squad isn’t human that break room has to be a BIT off on its smells

<LPhoenix> No, I know what it usually smells like. It is dominated by the wookiee and his dandruff and the musk coming off the commander’s robes, but with a mix of everyone else too. After that firefight it just smells off now

<Keblaomega> What does it smell like?

<LPhoenix> Fear and worry

<Keblaomega> That, did you consider that we just saw our fleet get its teeth kicked in and the death of hundreds of our friends?

<LPhoenix> I have been with the squad for a while now and this is the first I have smelled this

<Keblaomega> You are used to us being on top as Lambda is normally the leader in all the TIE Corps War Games. We just lost, and lost hard. You are probably just smelling the stress sweat from a whole squad, made up of eight different species, who barely made it through a huge battle

<LPhoenix> You’re probably right

<Keblaomega> Satellites show clean, on to Sector 1106

<LPhoenix> No sign of the Kilji here either, but should check those asteroids just in case

<Genie> Lambda, our sensors are showing small craft headed our way. Our hanger doors jammed closed after you left and the repair crews are still working on them. The other two ships lost all their fighters in the battle. Get back here on the double to deal with this new threat!

<Keblaomega> On our way!

<LPhoenix> Stupid Chaos making us have to go through 1207 to get back to 1208!

<LPhoenix> Ok, I see six marmalade scouts just exited hyperspace in three groups of two

<Keblaomega> Ok, let’s destroy them before they can report our location

<Genie> Some got away! Get back, we need to prepare for what is about to come

<LPhoenix> They just jumped out of the system!

<Genie> Get back here you two! Because you took so long to get here they got away and our position is now compromised to the enemy!

===Victory Briefing===
Disaster has struck. The beleaguered Emperor's Hammer's ships have been found! The Kilji did not fall for the deception of the ships backtracking along the Kilji's own route.

It is not known how the Kilji forces got new fighters already for scouting but the damage has been done.

The Navigator aboard the Hammer does not believe he will have the time to calculate a jump out of this system before the Kilji Fleet arrives once again.

==Mission 4: Blaze of Glory==
[[File:TFTC-TC_13-m4.png]]
===Commander's Briefing===
And so, the valiant, last stand of the Hammer, Relentless, and Roost is about to begin...

===Tactical Briefing Text===
I won't sugarcoat this, we will not survive this next encounter with their forces.

We are too weakened and our hyperdrives too damaged to run from the fight.

Your goal is only to make sure at least one of them goes down with us too!

For the TIE Corps!

===Radio Messages===
<RA Genie> Go for one of their cruisers! Make sure it follows us into the grave!

<COL Gytheran><Jawaese> You heard the man! Get the closest cruiser!

<Arsio> There goes its shields!

<DemWookieCheeks> There! Take that you religious zealots!

<MAJ Keblaomega> We lost the Roost!

<CM LPhoenix> The Relentless is dead!

<Genie> It has been an honor!

<MAJ Berkana><Ithorese> The Hammer has fallen!

<Gytheran> Let’s go for the second cruiser too!

<Genie> Don’t bother with those War Cruisers! <They are invincible>

<Keblaomega> We got them, that is both cruisers down?

<LPhoenix> Why don’t we try for the Battle Cruisers next?

<Ariso> What do we have to lose!

<Gytheran> There goes a Battle Cruiser!

<LCM Arsio> I thought we had destroyed all their fighters?!

<MAJ DemWookieCheeks> They must have had more shipped in from nearby

===Victory Briefing===
And so the heroic pilots of Lambda Squadron, along with all the other Emperor's Hammer personnel aboard the Eastern Fleet ships, met their end at the hands of the religious zealots, the Kilji.

Their deaths would not be in vain as a battle cry would ring out across the Emperor's Hammer after the battle...Remember the Roost!

You have been experiencing a dramatic, interactive retelling of the events of the Battles of B1307 and B1208. This combat simulation was produced by the Imperial News Network in conjunction with the Tactical Office and Reconnaissance Office.

The “historical” record shows that while many Emperor's Hammer crew members and pilots lost their lives in the conflict, all capital ships were able to withdraw from the Tkon Rift and be later repaired by the shipyards of the Paccian Governance. In fact several of the damaged ships of the Eastern Fleet were able to return to duty during the month-long campaign to stop the Kilhorde's advance, including the Hammer and the Roost.

No pilot of the TIE Corps lost their life during the events of the battles, they were all able to be carried to safety aboard the retreating ships when they left the Rift.

=Readme Background=
Newly promoted Lieutenant Colonel Jagged Fell III and the R/CRV Lightning find themselves somewhere they never could have dreamed of and need to make it home. They are in possession of information critical to the survival of the Emperor's Hammer and have to get home in time, some how...

=Script=
==Mission 1: Journey's Start==
[[File:TFTC-TC_12-m1.png]]
===Commander's Briefing===
Jagged Fell entered the Senior Officer’s lounge looking to enjoy his last evening of leave before going back out on patrol. He had decided he wanted to try his luck at the Sabacc tables rather than be alone at home, as his wife was away on business.

“Is this seat taken?”

“No, join us, we could use a fourth,” said a Naval Commander at the table.

“Thanks.”

“Standard Kessel Sabacc,” the Commander added as Jagged sat down.

As Jagged waited for the hand to be dealt he took in the room around him. It was of obvious Imperial design, the walls were Imperial grey with mostly hard edges and straight lines, but the tables were surrounded by colorful, cushioned chairs and loungers that offered comfort that was rarely experienced aboard a Star Destroyer. The view port beside him offered him a marvelous view of Aurora below and he could just see the bow of the Challenge as it was docked to the adjoining Triad Platform for reprovisioning.

Jagged threw in his first chip and, as the game moved on from one hand and one game to another, he struck up a conversation at the table to get to know his fellow gamblers. It turned out that the man who had welcomed him to the table, Navy CM Bron Lantill, was the captain of the R/CRV Lightning, one of the escort ships of Jagged’s own ISDII Challenge.

“I have not seen you at the tables before, young man,” Lantill said. “What, pray tell, brings you to this fine establishment tonight?”

“My promotion to LC just came through and wanted to celebrate. But my wife is away on business and the squadron won’t report back from leave until tomorrow. So, I came here, as a treat to myself.”

“Well, congratulations my boy. I must say, you look rather young to be putting on that rank plaque, if I may say so. How long have you been serving in the EH?”

“I joined the TC about 2 years ago.”

“2 years?! Oh, I forget how quickly you TIE fighter pilots are allowed to rise up the ranks. I was serving aboard navy ships here in the Fleet for almost 15 years before I got my CM’s plaque."

"15 years! I didn't know the Navy was so slow to promote. Why didn’t you just transfer to the TC?"

"Oh, when I first joined the EH it was with the TC.”

"If you joined the TC, how did you end up in the Navy?"

"All was well with my training, at first, but that was when it was all academic course work. Then came the day of our first simulator exposure."

"What happened?"

"All was going well until a pair of X/W were added to the test. The moment I tried to follow their maneuver, and the stars spun around me...I became violently ill. I began to retch into my mask. And of course, once I was started, I couldn’t stop."

"You’re kidding.”

"Oh, I assure you I am being quite serious. That was the end of my career as a TIE Fighter pilot. I transferred to the navy, and I began my career with a bit of a cloud over me. But that was a long time ago, and I am quite content with my lot in life."

At that, the hand ended and Lantill busted out yet again. "More content than I am with my luck this evening, you win again, LC."

"Just luck, I think. I think I will call it a night while I am ahead."

"As will I. We must play again together, my boy. But next time we should play Pazaak. Now there is a game I could win.”

"Pazaak? Never heard of it."

"It is an ancient game, from the era of the Old Republic in fact."

"Old Republic?"

"Long ago, thousands of years before the Emperor brought order to the galaxy, there was the Old Republic. Pazaak is a game from that time. The time of Revan and Malak. The time of the Mandalorian crusades, of the Jedi Civil War and the first Jedi Purge.”

"Never heard of any of that. How do you know about any of those things?"

"I have always been fascinated with the period and have collected all the information I could find over the years. Look at the time, I really must be going, and so should you. We go back out on patrol starting the marrow."

---

Two weeks later, Jagged entered the briefing room of the Challenge for the morning briefing of the day's patrol.

===Tactical Briefing Text===
Alright, settle down. Today our mission is to investigate reports of New Republic activity in the Alzoc III system.

We don't expect much, as our reports are unreliable, but will deploy Flight 1 of Typhoon Squadron all the same.

You are to travel ahead of the Challenge and Lightning to Alzoc and begin your search of the area.

We will arrive sometime after you and will have the rest of Typhoon Squadron on standby if the New Republic has a sizable force in the area.

As the situation may be fluid today, pay particular attention to your datapad for any change in orders and listen closely to all radio messages.

Let's get to it.

===Radio Messages===
<Challenge> Ok Typhoon Lead, head on into the system and we will follow

<LC Fell> Roger

<Challenge> LC, you were given an order to scout the area ahead!

<LC Fell> Woah! That is a New Republic base Alright! Challenge this is Typhoon Leader; we have a sizable New Republic presence here. They seem to be guarding some sort of base

<Challenge> Work on clearing the entry area of enemy craft. The Challenge will be there shortly

<LC Fell> You heard the AD. Let's take care of these fighters and worry about those capital ships after the Challenge arrives

<Challenge> Deploying the rest of Typhoon Squadron now. Continue to stay close to the Challenge and the Lightning to provide us cover from those bombers

<Challenge> Our shields are almost down, get those bombers off us!

<Challenge> There go our shields!

<Challenge> We can take much more of this!

<Lightning> We need some help over here, Typhoon

<Lightning> Our shields are out!

<Lightning> It has been an honor to serve

<Lightning> Looks like the New Republic is retreating, multiple ships have fled into hyperspace

<Lightning> Getting strange sensor readings from inside that base

<Challenge> I don’t like this. All fighters fall back to the Challenge or get into hyperspace!

<Lightning> Our hyperdrive isn't online yet, we need another minute

<Challenge> Typhoon Leader, stay with the Lightning until she is ready to jump, everyone else jump out now

<LC Fell> Hurry it up Lightning! <30 seconds>

<Lightning> That's it we are ready for hyperspace <30 Sec>

<LC Fell> What just happened?

<Lightning> Don’t know, come aboard and we will see if your sensor logs can be combined with ours to make sense of it all

MISSION FAILED YOU WERE DESTROYED BY THE EXPLOSION

<Challenge> The Lightning has been destroyed!

<Lightning> The Challenge is gone!

===Victory Briefing===
It turned out, to come aboard the Lightning took a fair amount of work to accomplish. The Lightning still had both of the standard TIE Fighters normally assigned to it aboard. There wasn't room for Jagged’s Defender until the Hanger crew moved them both to the sides of the hangar deck to allow just enough room for Jagged to set down on a temporary landing cradle.

The crew chief came up to Jagged. “The Captain has requested your presence in the Command Staff meeting he is holding in the Officer’s Mess. They are trying to figure out what the kriff happened out there.”

“I'd like to know the answer to that myself,” Jagged said and then headed for the hangar exit.

—

“Thank you for joining us, Colonel,” greeted Commander Lantill as Jagged entered the room. “And thank you for what you did for us back there, we likely would not have survived those bombers if not for you.”

“Just doing my duty. Do we know where we are yet? My nav computer couldn't make heads or tails of the star locations after we got kicked out of hyperspace.”

“No, the ship's navigators are still working on our location,” replied a lieutenant commander, who seemed to be the chief engineer. “Also got reports of possible damage to our long-range communications as we can't seem to pick up any comm traffic or navigation beacons. But the crazy thing is the repair crews aren't finding any obvious damage to those systems.”

“How curious,” answered Lantill. “Keep me informed of the results of their inspections. In the meantime, what can you tell us of what happened at that New Republic base, Lieutenant Commander Jast?”

“Best I can figure it, the New Republic has been working on reviving the Sun Crusher technology,” answered Chief Engineer Jast.

“Sun Crusher?” asked Jagged. “I don't think I ever heard of it.”

“You’re too young, and not from the Original Empire,” replied Lantill, wearily. “About twenty years back, the New Republic got their hands on a technology that allowed them to explode stars and they used it on the Imperial world of Cardia. They say it wasn't them, but a rogue jedi and that they destroyed the weapon. But the evidence speaks for itself. They blew up that star back there, certainly enough. They must be planning on using it on the Emperor’s Hammer, knowing that our Fleet, anchored by the SSSD Sovereign, is too strong for them to destroy any other way.”

“We don't have much time then!” exclaimed Jagged. “We need to warn Aurora.”

“Agreed, that is why the work crews are working to find the problem with our comm system,” calmly replied Lantill. "If it is not repaired soon, we will need you to go and try to make contact as our TIE Fighters do not possess hyperdrives.”

“At your orders, sir,” Jagged said simply.

“Anything else you can tell us of the events that brought us here?” Lantill asked towards Jast.

“Just that we detected a huge spike of chronal radiation when we got hit in hyperspace. Still trying to make sense of what that could mean.”

“That will be all for now then. You are all dismissed. Colonel Fell, please stay so we may discuss where you will be sleeping tonight.”

After the rest of the officers had filed out of the room Commander Lantil turned to Jagged, “I think the simplest solution for where to have you stay is in my cabin.”

“Sir, that really won’t be necessary. You are the Captain and shouldn’t have to share your quarters.”

“You are correct, I am the Captain. And therefore, I decide what is necessary on this ship. It will cause the least disruption. The other cabins on the Lightning are too small for two senior officers to share. So, putting you in the XO’s cabin will cause a cascade of my officers being displaced out of their quarters. This way only I am inconvenienced.”

“Well, thank you sir. Hopefully I am out of your hair soon anyway, we got to get back to Aurora to warn them about the Sun Crusher.”

“We first need to determine where in the galaxy we are, until then it is best you remain with the Lightning. Besides, now we can play that game of Pazaak we spoke of back in that Sabaac den.”

==Mission 2: Search for Clues==
[[File:TFTC-TC_12-m2.png]]
===Commander's Briefing===
Twelve standard hours later, the situation had not changed. The Command officers of the Lightning had gathered once again in the Officer’s Mess.

“Report, Lieutenant Commander Jast,” ordered Lantill.

“Sir, I don't know what to tell you,” reported Chief Engineer Jast. “I have had my crews going over every millimeter of both the comms systems and the navigation array. We are still not receiving any hyper comm traffic or hyper buoy data. On top of all that, the nav computer still hasn't been able to get a fix on where we are in the galaxy. Without knowing where we are, we can't plot a course back to Aurora.”

“We must report the New Republic’s revitalized Sun Crusher project before it is too late, " stated Lantill. “Now is the time for anyone to suggest any ideas they may have to solve our dilemma.”

The room broke out in discussion of various ideas while Jagged sat and pondered the situation.

Sometime later Jagged broke in, “Engineer Jast, did you say that your crews believe there is nothing wrong with the hypercom?”

“They can’t find anything obvious but that we…”

“So, we don't know if there is anything wrong with the Lightning? That it isn't some jamming field created by the New Republic?”

“I have never heard of a jammer that could block a hypercom signal when not in line of sight to the jammer.”

“Okay, maybe it was the supernova then.”

“Normally I wouldn't say it was possible, but there definitely was something weird about that explosion.”

“And we can't jump home because we don't know where we are and can't just jump to a random star we see because we don't know how far it is away,” continued Jagged.

“Aye, but we already said all of this…hold on, I think I get where you are going with this,” said the engineer, brightening to the subject.

“Do you think you can make it work?” Jagged asked excitedly.

“Yes…I think we can make it happen.”

“How long would it take to get my fighter set up for it?”

“Few hours, tops,” Jast said as he got to his feet, obviously about to leave the room to get to work on whatever he and Jagged had been talking about.

“Care to elaborate for the rest of us in the room what you two have in mind?” asked, pointedly, Captain Lantill.

“Well sir, the main barrier for us to get home is finding out where we are,” explained Jagged. “And we can't even start jumping to the stars we can see as we don't know how far away any of them are. But, if the hypercom is actually working on the Lightning and my Defender, I can jump my fighter away a known distance, and then we can combine the star positions from my new location and that of the Lightning to determine how far away all the stars really are.”

“With that, sir,” chimed in Jast, as he sat back down, “we can send the Colonel to the stars around us to try and find an inhabited world where we can get new nav data. The only real challenge is knowing the exact position of the fighter relative to us and his orientation in space, but my boys can get around that, no problem.”

“Sounds like the best chance we have to get back to Aurora in time to save it,” decided Captain Lantill. “But, Colonel Fell, you will be taking a great risk making all those blind hyperjumps.”

“Better one man than this whole ship. And I must get back home, my wife could be there when the New Republic makes their attack.”

===Tactical Briefing Text===
Well, this is actually your own plan but to state it all again.

Lieutenant Commander Jast's technicians have finished their modifications to your fighter.

You are to jump 2 light years away and then send back your ships telemetry so that we can map the local area.

Then you are to proceed to different stars in the area looking for any inhabited system that could tell us where we are.

Remember you are our only eyes out there, so prioritize gathering data and retreat if under threat, understood?

Good luck.

===Radio Messages===
<LC Fell> I am ready to head out

<Lantill> Good luck Typhoon Leader

<LC Fell> Ok, jump successful. Activating the advanced navigation scan now

SCAN ACTIVE…SCAN IN PROGRESS…

SCAN COMPLETE…SENDING DATA

<LC Fell> Scan complete and data on its way

<Jast> Hold one Typhoon, data coming through

<Jast> Transfer complete and data is processing

<Lantill> Typhoon, we have jump coordinates for your first star system

<LC Fell> Jump successful. Scanning the area...Showing some ships in the distance...they are not responding to hails…closing in for a closer inspection

<Lantill> Be careful Typhoon

<LC Fell> Scan completed for both ships. They aren't familiar to me but they *look* old. At least in their styling and design, the ships themselves look new enough

<Lantill> Send back what you have found. Anything else?

<LC Fell> Just that the planet below sure LOOKS like Eriadu, but it can't be as I am not detecting any pollution in the atmosphere. Jumping to the next system on the list

<Lantill> You don't say…

<LC Fell> Lightning I have come upon a running light fight between unknown ships

<Lantill> Send us your sensor readings

<Lantill> I believe I know what happened. We are on our way to your location. Stay clear of that fight

That hammerhead ship just finished off the of the other

HEY! They just turned hostile to me!

Well, I know Lantill said to keep clear, but they are leaving me no choice!

That's all their fighters

There goes their carrier

That's it for them

<Lantill> Typhoon! What happened here?!

<LC Fell> They attacked me, I had no choice

<Lantill> Come aboard. We have a lot to talk about if my suspicions are correct. We will send out ships to investigate the wreckage to confirm what has happened here

===Victory Briefing===
Jagged entered the bridge of the Lightning and reported to Commander Lantil.

“Sir, I know you ordered that I stay out of the fight, but when they got done destroying their primary enemy, they turned and attacked me,” justified Jagged to the older man. “All I did was defend myself.”

“Be that as it may, we very well could wish that you had stayed with the Lightning today if what I fear is true,” responded Lantill.

“What is it that you fear?”

“Well, I believe that we have been sent into the distant past, and our actions here could cause irreparable harm to our timeline. Resulting in who knows what possible changes to the future we know, and the ones we love.”

“What?! How?”

“Let me first explain my reasoning for believing we are in the past,” began the Captain. “When you sent your scans of those merchant ships in the Eriadu System.”

“I mean, it looked like Eriadu but the scans showed that it couldn't be,” interjected Jagged.

“Please, may I continue to explain?” Lantill said with an annoyed expression.

“Sorry sir, please continue.”

“As I was saying, when you sent back the scan data on those merchant ships, I knew them at once.”

He entered a command on his console and a hologram of one of the ships Jagged had scanned appeared.

“You said you did not recognize the ship type, but I do,” he entered another command, and a new image appeared of the same ship, but this one was obviously from a craft specification datasheet. “It is called a Dynamic Class freighter. A bit of a forerunner of the Corellian YT-series.” Then he flashed another series of images, showing the second craft Jagged had scanned. “This one is a Coruscant Heavy Courier. Both ships are from the Old Republic Era. The two of them combined with the appearance of Eriadu, but without its modern pollution gave rise to the suspicion in me that we could be in the past, but then you continued your patrol and removed all doubt.”

“You mean you also recognize the ships that were fighting?”

“The ship that attacked you was an Old Republic Hammerhead Cruiser, supported by Aurek Fighters. The ships they destroyed before turning on you were a Sith Interdictor and its supporting Sith Fighters.” He again manipulated the hologram display, showing reference images of each of the craft as he spoke, and Jagged was left with a sinking feeling in his heart. Could it be true?

“Hopefully the destruction of that Old Republic patrol can just be chalked up to the Fog of War of the war that they are currently fighting, and its disappearance can go unmarked by history at large.”

But their hopes were dashed as soon as the crews investigating the wreckage returned to the ship. They had found the data logs of the Republic ship, and armed with the knowledge of their ancient origin the engineering crew was able to access the ship's log. What he read there made Captain Lantill lose all color in his face.

“It is even worse than I feared,” croaked Lantill. “That ship you destroyed was the Ursa, and she was on her way to make history. Our future may forever be lost to us now.”

“What was so special about that ship?” Jagged asked quickly.

“The Ursa played a pivotal role in the capture of Darth Revan. Without the Ursa, the Jedi strike force attempting to steal onto his ship will never make it through the Sith’s defensive lines. And without the capture of Revan, the entire Old Republic may be destroyed in his war of conquest.”

“With it gone, won't the Jedi just send another ship in its place?”

“Per the ship's logs they have already split off from the main assault force to be in position to come out of hyperspace in a flanking position on Revan’s fleet to provide cover for the strike team's transport. The Jedi will never know the Ursa is gone until it is too late.”

Jagged sat in stunned silence for a long time. It was Lieutenant Commander Jast who broke the quiet of the room.

“What if we provide the cover for the Jedi strike force?”

==Mission 3: Setting Things Right==
[[File:TFTC-TC_12-m3.png]]
===Commander's Briefing===
“What if we provide the cover for the Jedi strike force?” posited Lieutenant Commander Jast.

“What?” replied Jagged. “I would think that the Jedi might notice we aren't a Hammerhead Cruiser. And what happens after the battle when the Ursa doesn't rejoin them?”

“No…” said Commander Lantil, slowly, “the Ursa was lost with all hands in the operation. Their being missing from the post battle retreat wouldn't be an issue.”

“But still, we aren't a Hammerhead Cruiser, and our fighters are not Aurek Fighters,” responded Jagged.

“True,” granted Lantill, “and I shudder to think how the sight of our craft could alter the course of technology development, but the failure to capture Revan, and the likely death of Bastila Shan, would reverberate through history in cataclysmic ways.”

“So, we are going to do this?” questioned Jagged. “How, and do we even know where and when?”

“We know from the Ursa's logs what today is now, and that tells us we have 2 days to arrive in the Tammar system to rescue the Jedi strikeforce and help deliver Revan into their custody.”

“How would we get there?” Jagged persisted. “Our navigation system is down.”

“Now that we know the date, and approximately where we are in the galaxy, it shouldn't be a problem for the nav computer to make the adjustments to the star positions in our map,” answered Chief Engineer Jast. “Give my people an hour, sir.”

“Get them moving on this, as quick as they can,” ordered Lantill.

As Jast hurried from the room Lantill turned to Jagged and continued, “As to your other concerns about how we are to do it, I think in the heat of battle, a small craft flitting about, protecting their assault, while perhaps will not go unnoticed, but nor would they overly concern themselves with questioning it.”

“So, the Lightning would stay back and only the fighters would engage?” asked Jagged.

“Unfortunately, I think only your craft is suitable,” answered Lantill. “We cannot afford to leave any wreckage behind, and the Defender is shielded, while our two TIE Fighters are not. Additionally, all our pilots are inexperienced in battle and may fail in their mission. No, this is something you, and you alone, will need to do. Otherwise, all that we hold dear may be lost to us.”

“I won't fail.”

===Tactical Briefing Text===
The R/CRV Lightning will remain on the outskirts of the Tammar system as you jump into the on-going battle.

Your primary objectives will be to protect the Jedi strike team’s shuttle until it can board Darth Revan’s flagship, the Reaper.

Also, you will need to ensure the survival of the Jedi’s ship, the Strikefast.

Likely, your best strategy for protecting the Jedi will be to disable the Reaper so that they can board without coming under its guns. All the while you must protect them from the Sith Fighters that will be in the area.

Additionally, you CANNOT destroy Darth Malak’s ship, the Scourge.

I will be following the battle through your sensors and order a retreat when the situation has been restored.

You must retreat from the area so that history can play out as it was meant to.

Good luck.

<Lightning> Ok Jagged, head to Tammar and ensure that the Jedi capture Revan

<LC Fell> Understood, help the Jedi...that sounds SO weird to say

<Lightning> It can’t be helped if we want our future to be safe

<LC Fell> Alright, I am here

<Lightning> Focus on clearing those fighters off the Jedi shuttle first

<Lightning> Better help the Strikefast and disable the Reaper before it can attack the Jedi shuttle

<Lightning> Jagged! The Reaper is about to fire on the Jedi, I doubt they would last long under its guns

<Lightning> The Republic ship is in trouble!

<Lightning> The Strikefast is about to be destroyed! Save her!

<Lightning> Revan’s ship is now vulnerable, good work!

<Lightning> Bastila’s team is on Revan’s ship, the timeline is almost restored, just protect that Republic ship a little longer

<Lightning> That should be enough, come back before you do too much

YOU HAVE 2 MINS TO GET BACK TO THE LIGHTNING

<Lightning> You have been scanned by the Scourge. History is forever changed

<Lightning> You have killed Darth Malak, forever changing history

<Lightning> The Republic ship has been destroyed, history has been forever changed

<Lightning> You have killed Revan, history has been forever changed

<Lightning> Bastila has been killed, history will never recover now

<LC Fell> I am back, did it work?

<Lightning> I...believe so, come aboard and we will discuss what we must do next

===Victory Briefing===
Jagged entered the improvised conference room to find most of the command staff already present.

“So, did the rest of the battle turn out as the history books say that it did?” Jagged asked.

“Yes, the probe droids we placed in the system report that the Scourge fired on the Reaper, dealing a crippling blow prior to being driven off by the Steadfast,” answer Lantill.

“All of that for the Reaper to be hit by their own? What was the point of it all?” asked Jagged.

“Malak turned on his master like all Sith of this era when they think they can get away with it. The Jedi have captured an injured Revan and taken him back to Dantooine to be brainwashed into supporting their cause in this war. He will now go on to lead the Jedi’s efforts to destroy his former Sith Empire.”

“It feels so wrong that we of the EMPEROR’s Hammer have helped the JEDI,” said an exasperated Jagged. “Are you sure that this was what we had to do?”

“I am. All of this needed to happen. Revan had to be turned to the Jedi’s cause, he needs to destroy his Empire. And he needed to father a dynasty with Bastila that will lead the Old Republic, and the Jedi Order, for generations to come. All of this will lead the galaxy to be ready for Darth Bane in 3,000 years or so as our beloved Emperor is of Darth Bane’s order.”

“Okay, we have fixed the damage I did to the past by defending my self from some Jedi sympathizers. What do we do now?”

“I don’t know. We must remain away from anywhere that could impact our future,” answered Lantill. “And hope that the Challenge will be able to make it back to Aurora in time to save it in our original timeline. Suggestions on where we can settle down to live out the rest of our lives”

The room broke out into a fatalistic discussion of where the optimal place would be to die.

==Mission 4: Journey Home==
[[File:TFTC-TC_12-m4.png]]
===Commander's Briefing===
Two weeks later, as Jagged and Lantill were settling into yet another game of pazaak, Lieutenant Commander Jast rapped on the door to the Captain’s Cabin.

“Enter,” called Lantill as he examined his cards. “Ah Chief Engineer Jast, what may I do for you this evening?”

“Sir, I have been thinking,” replied Jast, timidly.

“On what subject have your ruminations fixed upon?”

“Sir, I don’t want to die here in the past, away from my family.”

“None of us do.”

“Sir, I was thinking if I am going to die, I rather it be trying to get back to them, rather than of old age.”

“Do you think that is possible? Us getting back to our families I mean.”

“It is a longshot, but if flying away from a newly formed supernova is what threw us into the past, maybe flying into, or at least just to the side of, a supernova could allow us to go back.”

Lantill ponder this for a time. “What makes you think another supernova would send us through time at all? Could it not have been a result of how the New Republic’s Sun Crusher technology affected that star that brought us here?”

“Yes, their tampering could have been the reason chronal radiation was released by the explosion. But maybe not. Maybe all supernova release chronal radiation at the moment of their creation. Maybe the only reason no one has ever reported on it is that no one has been close enough to detect it and live before.”

“Alright,” Jagged interjected, “say that you are right, how does that help us? We would still need to know EXACTLY where and when a star was going to explode to be able to even try this idea of yours. Unless you are suggesting we figure out how to destroy our own star.”

“No, nothing as crazy as that,” replied Jast.

“Then I doubt even Captain Lantill’s records are so complete to know when and where a supernova occurred, nearly 4,000 years in our past.”

“I am afraid I don’t know of any supernova from the past,” Lantill supplied.

“I might know of one,” Jast said hesitantly.

“How?” asked Lantill.

“I grew up on Lysatra, out in Wild Space. We are a small world but long in history and there is a legend we all grew up on that came to mind for me yesterday. In the night sky there is a large nebula that the elders always said came from this time. Came from the gods protecting us from a Sith invasion by destroying the star in the system they were staging in before expanding into our region of space. I never believed the story, thinking it was just normal Wild Space superstition. But it stuck with me as the story was weird in that it gave the exact day and place of the explosion, not something you would expect in a 4,000-year-old legend.”

“Not much to go on,” Jagged said. “A legend.”

“Agreed,” answered Jast, “but what do we have to lose?”

“What indeed Lieutenant Commander, what indeed,” said Lantill pondering what he had been told.

---

While the Lightning was a military ship, and not ordinarily a place of democratic decision making, Captain Lantill put forth Chief Engineer Jast’s idea to a vote by all the ship’s compliment, everyone agreed that it was better to die trying than to waste away in the past. So, six months later, in 3956 BBY, the Lightning was sitting in the system Jast’s legend said was to explode that day, hoping against hope that legends could be real.

---

“What do you think the chances are that the legend is correct that a Sith Fleet will be here when it blows?” Lantill asked Jagged as they stood on the bridge of the Lightning, looking out at the fated star in front of them.

“One would think it was merely something added to the legend of the supernova,” answered Jagged, confidently. “Something to make it memorable for later generations. I mean what are the chances they could even have known?”

“Sir, I have ships existing hyperspace!” called the sensor operator. “I read four Sith warships.”

“It would seem that the legend maybe all true after all,” Lantill said dryly to Jagged.

===Tactical Briefing Text===
You must protect the R/CRV Lightning until the time is right for our jump.

Yours is the only hyperdrive equipped fighter available to us, and the time it would take to recover the other fighters would doom us all, so you will be alone in defending the Lightning.

Listen closely to the radio and be prepared to fall back when I message so that you will be in position to jump when the time is right.

Good luck.

===Radio Messages===
<Lightning> The Sith ships are launching fighters, keep them away from the Lightning until I message that it is time to go. Stay safe

<LC Fell> Will do my best

<Lightning> 1 minute until the star explodes, fall back to the Lightning

<LC Fell> On my way

<Lightning> Hyper buoy active, jump now

<LC Fell> Did it work?

<Lightning> We don’t know, we took some damage in the jump. Come aboard and we will discuss

MISSION FAILED YOU WERE DESTROYED BY THE EXPLOSION

===Victory Briefing===
Jagged landed back on the Lightning, with a sense of deja vu. It wasn’t that many months ago that he had first landed aboard the Lightning after a jump out of a supernova. He devoutly hoped that this would be the last time he had to jump from a star exploding.

He hopped out of his Defender and walked the now familiar corridors to the Lightning’s Bridge where he found Captain Lantill reviewing the damage reports streaming in from across the ship.

“We definitely took a significant hit from the explosion this time,” Lantill said as a way of greeting. “Systems are down across the ship.”

“Is the hypercom responding? Did we get home?”

Lantill pressed a command on at his station and Chief Engineer Jast appeared on the console’s display.

“Lieutenant Commander Jast, report, if you please on our mission.”

“Sir, the sensors definitely recorded a similar chronal radiation surge as we traveled through hyperspace. I think it worked, or at least we are no longer in the same year as before.”

“And the hypercom? Are we able to reach Aurora?”

“Still nothing on the hypercom, but I have a crew investigating it now to make sure it wasn’t damaged by our latest jump.”

“So, either it is damaged, or we are again lost in time?”

“It would appear so, Captain...”

=Readme Background=
For the 2024 Raise the Flag Competition I wrote two short stories that detailed the actions of Typhoon Squadron during the final campaign against the Kilji Illumine to take back the Tkon Rift. When writing those stories, I made them with the intent to turn them into a future battle. This is that battle.

The Kilji Illumine have dealt a significant blow to the Emperor's Hammer during the battle over the Tkon Rift some months prior. The TIE Corps thought they would have an easy time of defeating these orange skinned aliens but they were quickly proven wrong when the Kilji ships seamed to tear through the TIE Corps ships like wet paper. Since the cease fire at the end of the first Battle of the Tkon Rift the Science Office has been hard at work to level the playing field between the TIE Corps and the Kilji. They think they have found the solution and have deployed it to a select group of test pilots for field testing...

=Script=
==Mission 1: Patrol at 12-Nu==
[[File:TFTC-TC_15-m1.jpg]]
===Commander's Briefing===
The Kilji, a race of religious zealots and slavers, have invaded the Tkon Rift several months back. And when the TIE Corps launched a campaign to drive them from the Rift, the Kilji quickly overwhelmed the Imperials with their superior firepower and defenses. It was all the brave pilots of the Corps could do to hold on to three planets in the chaotic Rift, three of the twelve systems. Any sane TIE Corps pilot shuddered to think of the depredations inflicted on the populace of the worlds under the Kilji thumb. The images circulated during the first Tkon campaign still gave nightmares to all who saw them. How those wrinkly, orange monsters could do those things to other sentient beings was beyond comprehension.

Since the stalemate that ended that disastrous campaign, the Science Office has been hard at work developing modifications to Imperial weapons and shields to enable the valiant forces of the Emperor’s Hammer to prevail against the hated Marmalades. The main issue to the war effort has been the Kilji’s use of dibbers, small, highly maneuverable missiles specially designed to intercept other missiles in flight. These have enabled the Kilji to screen their capital ships in their past engagements from all the TIE Corps attempts to destroy them. The records of Grand Admiral Thrawn indicate that these dibbers were a tool of the Grysk some fifty years before, but since that time the Kilji seem to have gotten their hands on them too.

[[User:Jaggedfelliii|Jaggedfelliii]] ([[User talk:Jaggedfelliii|talk]])

Aboard the ISDII Challenge, Vice Admiral Locke Setzer began his briefing to the pilots before him.

“You all know that we have been locked in this deadlock with the Kilji for half a standard year at this point. Most of the issue has been that we haven’t been able to effectively use the TIE Corps to destroy the enemy capital ships because of their point defense systems. Well, the Science Office thinks they cracked the code on that, but it needs to be tested, and not on a small target.”

“Your mission of VIP escort includes not only protecting high ranking admirals and Imperial leaders, but also high value materiel. And your Missile Boats are perfect for deploying the new shielded warheads that have been developed. These warheads are hopefully able to defeat the dibbers and deal decisive damage to their ships, once and for all. Also, we have upgraded your shield and laser systems to also better counter the Kilji’s own systems.”

“Therefore, Captain Fell, you are to lead Flights 2 and 3 of Typhoon Squadron to perform a highly classified test of these improvements by destroying a sector patrol of the Kilji. You are to go to Sector 12-Nu and destroy are Kilji forces you find there.”

“If you are successful today, we will deploy these systems to the Fleet and finally be able to take the war to our enemy.”

===Tactical Briefing Text===
Captain Fell, you are to lead Flights 2 and 3 of Typhoon Squadron to Sector 12-Nu and destroy any Kilji forces you find there.

You are testing new prototype shield and weapons systems developed by the Science Office to circumvent the Kilji’s defense systems allowing our munitions to be used as normal once again.

If you are successful today, we will deploy these systems to the Fleet and finally be able to take the war to our enemy.

Good Luck

===Radio Messages===
<CPT Fell> Looks like the intel was right on the money. That’s our target

<MAJ Varsis> Did it HAVE to be such a big patrol?

<CPT Fell> It had to be, otherwise you wouldn’t get to have any fun. Alright, Flight 3, keep those fighters off our back as we begin our runs on the big boys. Flight 2, take out any targets of opportunity you see as we fly through their lines, but remember our mission here. We know that we can take out their fighters, it is the capital ships we need to focus on for our test

<COL Pitt> Roger

<LCM Julren> Understood

<CPT Fell> Great job everyone. That is a major victory for us and the TIE Corps. We destroyed a whole sector patrol with just eight fighters, and didn’t lose a single one of us. Drinks are on me tonight at the bar

<LCM Julren> Wahoo!

<COL Pitt> Alright!

<CPT Fell> But no more than two chalquilas each, I don’t want any of you going blind on me

<LCM Julren> Ah, you take all the fun out of things sometimes Three

<CPT Fell> Ok, back to the Challenge folks. We have a war to win

===Victory Briefing===
It turned out, the drinks would have to wait. After they returned to the Imperial Class-II Star Destroyer Challenge and had completed their post flight walkdowns, they were debriefed by Vice Admiral Setzer.

“Excellent work today out there,” Vice Admiral Setzer began. “You dealt a serious blow to the Kilji war machine, and proved the Science Office’s modifications work even better than had been hoped. Now I must reveal to you that while I implied to you all that you were our test group to prove out the new hardware before it was deployed across the Fleet, in truth you were only one of three test squadrons today. Each Battlegroup also sent out a strike force loaded with the experimental systems and you each successfully destroyed a sizable Kilji patrol in Sectors 33-Alpha, 26-Gamma, and 12-Nu. With the successful destruction of nearly all the Kilji’s border defense forces we are mobilizing for a lightning strike at the Kilji lines.”

“Go grab a shower and some food in the officer’s mess and then report back to the Briefing Room in thirty minutes. We have some work still to do. Dismissed”

==Mission 2: Shock and Awe==
[[File:TFTC-TC_15-m2.png]]
===Commander's Briefing===
Precisely half a standard hour later, Vice Admiral Setzer strode up to the Briefing Room’s podium and opened with:

“By now, most of you have heard of our successful destruction of the Kilji at 12-Nu, and may even know of the success seen by the other Battlegroups today as well. Now to tell you all what is going on.”

“Since our first engagements with the Kilji ships, Command has known that they are in possession of technology that did not make sense from what was known of them from Grand Admiral Thrawn’s reports. They not only have shield systems, but also advanced weapons systems, including dibbers, that they should never have been able to develop on their own. The Intelligence Division and the Secret Order have been investigating these troubling developments while the Science Office has been hard at work developing countermeasures to the Kilji’s technological advantages. While the Science Office was not able to deliver their breakthroughs in-time to turn the tide of the Tkon Rift Campaign, they have now.”

“Believing in the superiority of Imperial science and sensing a chance to deal a decisive blow to the Kilji, the TIE Corps Command Staff, and the TIE Corps Commander, High Admiral Plif, in particular, decided to roll out the weapons and shield improvements Fleet wide in secret. Rather than wait for the technology to be proven first and then deploy the improvements, High Admiral Plif devised a bold and daring campaign to seize the element of surprise and strike at many places along the Kilji lines at one time. The belief is that the Kilji will now think we plan to drive them from the Rift and will begin rolling up the planets nearest our core holdings of NE256 and LE855.”

“They are right to think we plan to Liberate the Rift, but are wrong to think that we will accept anything other than their utter destruction. As such, we are not attacking the worlds Q0604 or E149N, although Battlegroup II will certainly make them think we are. Instead, we, along with Battlegroup I, will be seeking to cut the Kilji’s supply lines and are driving directly east in the Rift with the goal of capturing both G5406 and P3069 before they can even realize we have overcome their capital defense systems. This will have the added benefit of finally allowing us to reinforce and resupply those trapped on P3865.”

“Battlegroup I, led by the ISDII Hammer, is to take G5406 while we of Battlegroup III will capture P3069. If done right, we will cut off the main Kilji force from their avenues of retreat and will be in a position to finally control the outcome of this war. Dismissed.”

===Tactical Briefing Text===
We are striking before the Kilji can realize the danger they are in, as such we believe the defenses above P3069 will be minimal.

The Challenge and Renegade, along with our support ships, will engage the Kilji capital ships while our fighters clear the skies.

Typhoon Flight 2 is tasked with eliminating the orbital defense stations and then assisting with the remaining capital ships.

Keep your heads on a swivel as we may need to call you back to protect us from the Kilji bombers if they become too much for us to handle.

Good luck everyone.

===Radio Messages===
<CPT Fell> Alright Flight 2, our job is simple: destroy their fleet, preferably before they have a chance to launch more fighters or even worse, retreat out of the gravity well. Remember, while our missiles are no longer susceptible to their dibber screens, we still can’t go for a target lock or their gunners will be able to hit our warheads

<CPT Fell> Don’t be afraid to call for help if you are getting targeted by too many Marmalade fighters, and keep focused on your mission. Everyone is counting on us to burn down the enemy’s fleet as quickly as possible to prevent us all from being overwhelmed by their reinforcements

<COL Pitt> Understood Three, we got this

<COL Pitt> That’s one!

<COL Pitt> We got another cruiser!

<LCM Yoyo> Some Kilji ships are running

<CPT Fell> We got to destroy them before they get away!

<VA Setzer> To all fighters, we are taking a pounding. Get rid of these bombers attacking us

<VA Setzer> Our shields are down, hurry!

<VA Setzer> The Renegade has been destroyed, our offensive has failed

<Renegade> Get these bombers off of us

<Renegade> Our shields are down, save us!

<Renegade> The Challenge has been destroyed, our offensive has failed

<CPT Fell> That’s it for their capital ships. Now for those Orbital Stations

<VA Setzer> P3069 is ours. Good work everyone. Report to your ships for debriefing

===Victory Briefing===
The sweat soaked pilots of Wing X climbed from their cockpits after they landed aboard the ISDII Challenge. The planet of Yakab, and its orbital factories and shipyards had been successfully wrested from the Kilji’s hands. No longer would their industrial might strengthen the Kilji’s hold on the Rift.

They had been easy prey for the Kilji, who indoctrinated many of their industrialist and so had swayed much of the population to the way of the Illumine. It would take time for the radical religion to be rooted out of the planet’s leadership, but that was not the TIE Corps of the Emperor’s Hammer concern. They were here to rescue the Rift from the foreign invaders, not to be colonizers themselves. To be sure, the TIE Corps would replenish their supplies and make sure the resources of this world would not be used to continue the terror of the Kilji’s faith in the region, but the Corps had a mission here in the Chaos, and it wasn’t to solve all their problems for them.

Vice Admiral Setzer detailed some of the Battlegroup’s support vessels to remain, to oversee the removal of Kilji sympathizers from positions of power and to safeguard the assets of Yakab for its people, and the peoples of the Rift. Meanwhile, he ordered the rest of the fleet to continue to P3865, Cardio Prime. A world under Imperial control, cut off by the battle lines in the Rift for many long months. It had been impossible to establish lines of communication to Cardio Prime and the only way the TIE Corps knew they were still in Imperial hands was the scant reports from the agents of the Secret Order. The reports only told that the world was still suffering from the effects of the Kilji occupation and that they were barely holding on against the repeated Kilji raids.

But now relief was finally coming, but what would the pilots of Battlegroup III find when they got there was anyone’s guess.

==Mission 3: Defense of Cardio Prime==
[[File:TFTC-TC_15-m3.jpg]]
===Commander's Briefing===
The sun was just beginning to dip below the horizon as Captain Jagged Fell looked out over the gently lapping waves of the ocean world of Cardio Prime. Jagged’s heart was heavy and the peaceful serenity of the ocean waves was acting as a much-needed balm to his soul.

The inhabitants of Cardio Prime follow a rigid, hierarchical social order, one unwilling to bend to the religious lies of the Kilji’s Enlightenment. When the planetary populace had refused to adopt the Kilji’s false religion, they had captured the clan leaders of the resistance and brought them before the people. All in attendance thought the Kilji meant to kill or torture the clan leaders in the sight of the crowd to force compliance from the population. This would have been hard to see, but the people of Cardio Prime would never have bowed to this tyranny and the act would only harden the resolve of the people to rebel against their orange-skinned invaders.

But the Kilji slavers had plans of such cruelty that it would break any who would dare to oppose them. As they finished strapping the five leaders into their restraints, they did not begin to torture them, at least not in the “normal” sense of that word. Instead, they brought out the children of the leaders, and while they were forced to watch, slowly vivisected each child one by one. Their screams of pain as they were cut open and all their organs splayed out on the table around them were only matched by the screams of rage and horror of their parents, who due to their own restraints were unable to even look away from the slow, agonizing deaths of their children. The Kilji’s long practice with this barbarism was evident in their skill at keeping the children alive long after they should have died from shock and blood loss. After watching the children of the resistance leaders being butchered, no fight was left in Cardio Prime. Even now, months after their liberation, the shock and horror of that day rang throughout the once vibrant culture of the world.

After hearing the first-hand accounts, and having been shown a holorecording of the “lesson” made by the Kilji, Jagged had had to run outside the building to vomit in the bushes. Even now, hours later Jagged still wept at what he had just seen, and at the thought that if this is what happened here in less than a month under the Kilji’s thumb, what could have happened on some of these other worlds who the Kilji had been oppressing for more than half a year.

Jagged’s commlink chirped from his pocket.

“Fell.”

“Fell, long-range sensors have detected the expected Kilji assault force,” answered the calm voice of Vice Admiral Locke Setzer. “Report to the briefing room for your assignment in the coming defense.”

“Understood Admiral. I will be there directly.”

[[User:Jaggedfelliii|Jaggedfelliii]] ([[User talk:Jaggedfelliii|talk]])

The lights dimmed in the briefing room as Admiral Setzer began to speak.

“High Command knew that General Krael of the Kilji Fleet could not allow us to gain these victories we’ve had these last few days without a suitable response. But rather than strike out at just one of the worlds we have taken from him, to save face with his troops and his Generalirius, or leader of the Kilji, back on the Kilji’s home world he has once again spread his forces too thin. He has not yet come to fully understand that his once superior defensive and offensive ability is gone.”

“He is coming to take back not only the worlds of G5406 and P3069 that we took from him, but also here at P3865. We must weather his assault and protect this world from falling back into the Kilji’s hands. Many of you know the atrocities that have been committed here, and Krael will stop at nothing to keep the peoples of this world from telling their story to the rest of the Rift and the Chaos as a whole. If word of what happened here spreads to the rest of the Chaos, they would all rise up and unite against this evil scourge.”

===Tactical Briefing Text===
Fortunately Krael continues to employ poor tactics, and the forces coming to attack us should be manageable.

The key will be defeating their bomber forces and protecting our own capital ship.

All fighter groups are to remain by the Fleet, ready to protect us, until given the order to implement our own counter assault.

When cleared to engage, quickly destroy the Kilji ships before they can retreat from the battle.

Remember what happened here and that we fight that it never can happen again.

Good luck.

<CPT Fell> Ok Two Flight, we have our targets. Keep your lasers charged to be ready to intercept any warhead streams and go for paired missile shots at maximum range to thin the herd

<COL Pitt> Roger

<MAJ Varsis> Ten-Four

<LCM Yoyo> Understood

<CPT Fell> Professor, stay on my wing. The rest of you, take care of those bombers

<CPT Fell> Challenge, these corvettes are loaded with explosives. They are trying to engage in a suicide run

<VA Setzer> That last torpedo hit that made it through your defensive screen temporarily knocked out our engines. We can’t maneuver out of the corvette’s path. You must destroy it!

<CPT Fell> Great work Professor! I owe you a drink of your choice tonight

<COL Pitt> I’ll hold you to that

<CPT Fell> Two Flight, I am tired of these Kilji warships above this beautiful world. Breakoff and focus all your fire on the nearest capital ship. Sweep them from the sky

<VA Setzer> To all fighters, we are taking a pounding. Get rid of these bombers attacking us

<VA Setzer> Our shields are down, hurry!

<VA Setzer> The Renegade has been destroyed, our offensive has failed

<Renegade> Get these bombers off of us

<Renegade> Our shields are down, save us!

<Renegade> The Challenge has been destroyed, our offensive has failed

<VA Setzer> We have held the line. Great work everyone. Report to your ships for debriefing

===Victory Briefing===
“It is time to end this war over the Tkon Rift,” Vice Admiral Setzer said once again from the podium of the Challenge’s briefing room. “In light of the evidence of the atrocities committed by the Kilji at P3865, High Admiral Plif has directed that all Battlegroups stop at nothing to free every last world from the Kilji’s domination as soon as possible.”

==Mission 4: Final Assault==
[[File:TFTC-TC_15-m4.png]]
===Commander's Briefing===
“We have been given the honor of assaulting the Kilji stronghold world of A38Z8, named Terakine in their initial broadcasts. This is the world from which General Krael has been directing the depredations here in the Rift. While the other Battlegroups may be liberating more worlds of the Rift, we expect to be fighting their main battle fleet above Terakine.”

“We have called up and reactivated several of our reserve squadrons for today’s operation. Their pilots will be reporting to assist our active squadrons in their normally assigned missions.”

“They have had months to shore up the defenses of this world. And unlike the others of the Rift, their forces have not been drawn off in one of the other battles we have had these last few days. Unfortunately, we may have to accept some losses of Emperor’s Hammer personnel on this assault. But I know that the soldiers and pilots of Battlegroup III will look out for one another and see us through to the other side of this war.”

[[User:Jaggedfelliii|Jaggedfelliii]] ([[User talk:Jaggedfelliii|talk]])

As Jagged walked down the hallway from the Briefing Room to the Hanger, General Silwar Naiilo called out to him.

“Hold up for a minute Jagged.”

Jagged stopped and turned to face the affable human man. He of course had heard rumors that Silwar had a dark side to him, but Jagged had never seen it. Silwar tilted his head towards an open hatch, indicating he wanted to talk to Jagged outside the flow of pedestrian traffic in the corridor. Jagged followed, mildly curious what the General wanted to talk about in private. Once both men were inside the room, the hatch closed, seemingly of its own accord.

“Hey Jagged, I know Locke has tagged you to lead our bomber forces out there today.”

“Well, at least the Missile Boats. The E-Wings and B-Wings are being led by others.”

“Yeah, I heard that too. But for my money, you will be in the vanguard most of the time as none of the others will have the speed and will have to stick close to their motherships to be able to rearm. With your heavy load out, you will be the ones sent after the deep targets.”

“I don’t disagree, what of it?”

“I have a special mission for you.”

“What do you mean?”

“At the start of the battle, while the Kilji still have their ships huddled in close to their Flagship, the Divine Hand, or one of the orbital battle-stations, I want you to do a deep strike against the Divine Hand.”

“What?! That would be suicide! Krael is going to have that ship surrounded by anti-bomber defenses.”

“I don’t know. He is most likely going to send everything he got ready to fly straight at our forces the moment we come out of hyperspace. He won’t want to give us the chance to start dismantling his forces. Overwhelming firepower, that's all he seems to be able to do these days when it comes to tactics.”

“Even so, what good would it do to take out the Divine Hand? Yeah, if it has Krael aboard it might cause some disarray in their Command and Control, but one of his chief lieutenants would just step in and then our most effective bombers would be eaten alive, cut off from support and surrounded by enemy ships. Heck, if a competent commander takes over for Krael it might even make everything worse for us.”

“Normally, you would be right but I got a feeling that things might be different today. Look, I can’t order you to do this as you don’t report to me, but think on it and do what you think is best when the time is right.”

And with that the General walked out of the room. Jagged was so confused about what Silwar had just proposed to him that he didn’t even notice Silwar touching any door controls. He must have had a control data pad in his pocket. Jagged just shook his head and left the room to resume his journey to the Hangar and his fighter.

===Tactical Briefing Text===
Looks like it is going to be a bloody battle today. We are out numbered and they are expected to call for reinforcements if pressed by our attack.

Our mission is the liberation of A38Z8, and the destruction of the Divine Hand. If we can achieve our mission we will have brought about the Liberation of the Rift.

The fear is that the Divine Hand will run rather than be destroyed. This would be a disaster and prolong this war.

Protect the Challenge and Renegade, and look out for one another.

That is all.

<CPT Fell> Ok Missile Boats, I have a wild plan. We are not going to get tied up in fighting all those fighters coming at us. We are going to go straight through their lines and surprise attack those ships in the rear

<COL Pitt> That’s crazy Jagged

<CPT Fell> I know it is, but I can’t stand the thought of those monsters who did all those horrible things on Cardio Prime getting away from this battle. And if we stop to fight all these fighters, that is exactly what will happen. They are going to wait and see how the battle is going, and if we manage to turn this onslaught to the side and beat them back, those command ships in the rear are just going to flee from the Rift back to Kilji home space

<COL Pitt> Okay, what is your plan?

<CPT Fell> Everyone, pick a bomber target directly in front of you and head straight towards it. Once you are in range fire off a paired missile volley and then hit your SLAM drives. We are going to shoot through their lines and be past them before they know what hit them. After that I will send out targeting commands for the capital ships to all remaining bombers

<CPT Fell> Maybe we won’t be dying today. Alright, enough spectating. Time to mop up any of their survivors

<COL Pitt> They're blowing up from the inside!

<LCM Yoyo> The Divine Hand is running

<VA Setzer> Typhoon Squadron, you must stop the Divine Hand, at all costs

<VA Setzer> Krael got away, the war for the Rift has now been extended

<VA Setzer> To all fighters, we are taking a pounding. Get rid of these bombers attacking us

<VA Setzer> Our shields are down, hurry!

<VA Setzer> The Renegade has been destroyed, our offensive has failed

<Renegade> Get these bombers off of us

<Renegade> Our shields are down, save us!

<Renegade> The Challenge has been destroyed, our offensive has failed

<CPT Fell> That’s it for their capital ships. Now for those Orbital Stations

<VA Setzer> A38Z8 is ours. The war for the Rift is done. Report to your ships for debriefing and some rest, you have earned it

===Victory Briefing===
Proper military decorum was abandoned aboard the ships of Battlegroup III in the aftermath of the destruction of the hated Kilji invasion fleet. The jubilation was riotous as Jagged climbed out of his fighter. Hangar technicians and pilots alike were celebrating their luck. Going into the battle, sure that many of them would be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice to rid the Tkon Rift of the evil stain of the Kilji had weighed upon them all in ways they had not realized until the pall was lifted. Already the rumor mill was reporting that the Fleet was being ordered to attack the Kilji home systems, to eradicate them from the Chaos entirely, but that didn’t interest Jagged at the moment, he wanted answers.

The sudden destruction of the Kilji fleet was amazing and the topic of almost all the conversation on the Hangar Deck and in the ship corridors as Jagged moved deeper into the Challenge, looking for his quarry. Finally, he found him, working quietly on his datapad in a pilot’s ready room, two decks up from the hangar.

“What was that out there, Silwar?”

“What was what, captain?”

“You know what I am talking about. You knew that would happen, that the Kilji would all explode. It is why you told me to go for the Divine Hand first.”

“I have no idea what you are talking about. I am not your commanding officer. There is no way I could have given you an order to attack any target over another. Especially not a dangerous tactic such as what you deployed.”

“Silwar, what happened? How did we win that battle? We should have lost. There was no way we could have beaten them all with the forces we had available to us. But once my warheads took out that Command ship the rest just started exploding like some sort of chain reaction, but I know they weren’t all close enough together to all be caught up in each other’s explosions. I won’t tell anyone what you say, I just need to know how you did it.”

“Not conceding whatsoever that I had any part in what you are talking about. In fact, if you review the security cam data it can be clearly shown I went directly to my fighter after the mission briefing today and therefore couldn’t have had any conversation with you about today’s battle. But that all being understood, perhaps I heard that certain agents, of a possibly Secret Order, could have planted charges in all the key installations in the system in the last few weeks, all tied to a subspace signal from the Divine Hand. That the only ship the alleged agents couldn’t get aboard was the Divine Hand and that if the charges went off without the destruction of Krael that it would have done nothing for the war effort. That all that was missing was the killing of Krael before he could run from the Rift. Again, all hypothetically mind you. You wouldn’t even be believed if you told this to anyone, and I might be quite angry if you did.”

“Don’t worry general, I won’t say anything. You are right, no one would believe me if I did.”

“Just so long as we understand each other Jagged. Why don’t you go join the partying? I am sure as the man who killed Krael, you will have plenty of people wanting to buy you a drink tonight.”

Jagged left the general to his work and headed to the Typhoon Squadron’s ready room to find a pretty good party had already been thrown together, but he still wondered to himself how Silwar had done it.

=Readme Background=
For the 2024 Raise the Flag Competition I wrote two short stories that detailed the actions of Typhoon Squadron during the final campaign against the Kilji Illumine to take back the Tkon Rift. When writing those stories, I made them with the intent to turn them into a future battle. This is that battle.

The Kilji Illumine have dealt a significant blow to the Emperor's Hammer during the battle over the Tkon Rift some months prior. The TIE Corps thought they would have an easy time of defeating these orange skinned aliens but they were quickly proven wrong when the Kilji ships seamed to tear through the TIE Corps ships like wet paper. Since the cease fire at the end of the first Battle of the Tkon Rift the Science Office has been hard at work to level the playing field between the TIE Corps and the Kilji. They think they have found the solution and have deployed it to a select group of test pilots for field testing...

=Script=
==Mission 1: Patrol at 12-Nu==
[[File:TFTC-TC_15-m1.jpg]]
===Commander's Briefing===
The Kilji, a race of religious zealots and slavers, have invaded the Tkon Rift several months back. And when the TIE Corps launched a campaign to drive them from the Rift, the Kilji quickly overwhelmed the Imperials with their superior firepower and defenses. It was all the brave pilots of the Corps could do to hold on to three planets in the chaotic Rift, three of the twelve systems. Any sane TIE Corps pilot shuddered to think of the depredations inflicted on the populace of the worlds under the Kilji thumb. The images circulated during the first Tkon campaign still gave nightmares to all who saw them. How those wrinkly, orange monsters could do those things to other sentient beings was beyond comprehension.

Since the stalemate that ended that disastrous campaign, the Science Office has been hard at work developing modifications to Imperial weapons and shields to enable the valiant forces of the Emperor’s Hammer to prevail against the hated Marmalades. The main issue to the war effort has been the Kilji’s use of dibbers, small, highly maneuverable missiles specially designed to intercept other missiles in flight. These have enabled the Kilji to screen their capital ships in their past engagements from all the TIE Corps attempts to destroy them. The records of Grand Admiral Thrawn indicate that these dibbers were a tool of the Grysk some fifty years before, but since that time the Kilji seem to have gotten their hands on them too.

[[User:Jaggedfelliii|Jaggedfelliii]] ([[User talk:Jaggedfelliii|talk]])

Aboard the ISDII Challenge, Vice Admiral Locke Setzer began his briefing to the pilots before him.

“You all know that we have been locked in this deadlock with the Kilji for half a standard year at this point. Most of the issue has been that we haven’t been able to effectively use the TIE Corps to destroy the enemy capital ships because of their point defense systems. Well, the Science Office thinks they cracked the code on that, but it needs to be tested, and not on a small target.”

“Your mission of VIP escort includes not only protecting high ranking admirals and Imperial leaders, but also high value materiel. And your Missile Boats are perfect for deploying the new shielded warheads that have been developed. These warheads are hopefully able to defeat the dibbers and deal decisive damage to their ships, once and for all. Also, we have upgraded your shield and laser systems to also better counter the Kilji’s own systems.”

“Therefore, Captain Fell, you are to lead Flights 2 and 3 of Typhoon Squadron to perform a highly classified test of these improvements by destroying a sector patrol of the Kilji. You are to go to Sector 12-Nu and destroy are Kilji forces you find there.”

“If you are successful today, we will deploy these systems to the Fleet and finally be able to take the war to our enemy.”

===Tactical Briefing Text===
Captain Fell, you are to lead Flights 2 and 3 of Typhoon Squadron to Sector 12-Nu and destroy any Kilji forces you find there.

You are testing new prototype shield and weapons systems developed by the Science Office to circumvent the Kilji’s defense systems allowing our munitions to be used as normal once again.

If you are successful today, we will deploy these systems to the Fleet and finally be able to take the war to our enemy.

Good Luck

<CPT Fell> Looks like the intel was right on the money. That’s our target

<MAJ Varsis> Did it HAVE to be such a big patrol?

<CPT Fell> It had to be, otherwise you wouldn’t get to have any fun. Alright, Flight 3, keep those fighters off our back as we begin our runs on the big boys. Flight 2, take out any targets of opportunity you see as we fly through their lines, but remember our mission here. We know that we can take out their fighters, it is the capital ships we need to focus on for our test

<COL Pitt> Roger

<LCM Julren> Understood

<CPT Fell> Great job everyone. That is a major victory for us and the TIE Corps. We destroyed a whole sector patrol with just eight fighters, and didn’t lose a single one of us. Drinks are on me tonight at the bar

<LCM Julren> Wahoo!

<COL Pitt> Alright!

<CPT Fell> But no more than two chalquilas each, I don’t want any of you going blind on me

<LCM Julren> Ah, you take all the fun out of things sometimes Three

<CPT Fell> Ok, back to the Challenge folks. We have a war to win

===Victory Briefing===
It turned out, the drinks would have to wait. After they returned to the Imperial Class-II Star Destroyer Challenge and had completed their post flight walkdowns, they were debriefed by Vice Admiral Setzer.

“Excellent work today out there,” Vice Admiral Setzer began. “You dealt a serious blow to the Kilji war machine, and proved the Science Office’s modifications work even better than had been hoped. Now I must reveal to you that while I implied to you all that you were our test group to prove out the new hardware before it was deployed across the Fleet, in truth you were only one of three test squadrons today. Each Battlegroup also sent out a strike force loaded with the experimental systems and you each successfully destroyed a sizable Kilji patrol in Sectors 33-Alpha, 26-Gamma, and 12-Nu. With the successful destruction of nearly all the Kilji’s border defense forces we are mobilizing for a lightning strike at the Kilji lines.”

“Go grab a shower and some food in the officer’s mess and then report back to the Briefing Room in thirty minutes. We have some work still to do. Dismissed”

==Mission 2: Shock and Awe==
[[File:TFTC-TC_15-m2.png]]
===Commander's Briefing===
Precisely half a standard hour later, Vice Admiral Setzer strode up to the Briefing Room’s podium and opened with:

“By now, most of you have heard of our successful destruction of the Kilji at 12-Nu, and may even know of the success seen by the other Battlegroups today as well. Now to tell you all what is going on.”

“Since our first engagements with the Kilji ships, Command has known that they are in possession of technology that did not make sense from what was known of them from Grand Admiral Thrawn’s reports. They not only have shield systems, but also advanced weapons systems, including dibbers, that they should never have been able to develop on their own. The Intelligence Division and the Secret Order have been investigating these troubling developments while the Science Office has been hard at work developing countermeasures to the Kilji’s technological advantages. While the Science Office was not able to deliver their breakthroughs in-time to turn the tide of the Tkon Rift Campaign, they have now.”

“Believing in the superiority of Imperial science and sensing a chance to deal a decisive blow to the Kilji, the TIE Corps Command Staff, and the TIE Corps Commander, High Admiral Plif, in particular, decided to roll out the weapons and shield improvements Fleet wide in secret. Rather than wait for the technology to be proven first and then deploy the improvements, High Admiral Plif devised a bold and daring campaign to seize the element of surprise and strike at many places along the Kilji lines at one time. The belief is that the Kilji will now think we plan to drive them from the Rift and will begin rolling up the planets nearest our core holdings of NE256 and LE855.”

“They are right to think we plan to Liberate the Rift, but are wrong to think that we will accept anything other than their utter destruction. As such, we are not attacking the worlds Q0604 or E149N, although Battlegroup II will certainly make them think we are. Instead, we, along with Battlegroup I, will be seeking to cut the Kilji’s supply lines and are driving directly east in the Rift with the goal of capturing both G5406 and P3069 before they can even realize we have overcome their capital defense systems. This will have the added benefit of finally allowing us to reinforce and resupply those trapped on P3865.”

“Battlegroup I, led by the ISDII Hammer, is to take G5406 while we of Battlegroup III will capture P3069. If done right, we will cut off the main Kilji force from their avenues of retreat and will be in a position to finally control the outcome of this war. Dismissed.”

===Tactical Briefing Text===
We are striking before the Kilji can realize the danger they are in, as such we believe the defenses above P3069 will be minimal.

The Challenge and Renegade, along with our support ships, will engage the Kilji capital ships while our fighters clear the skies.

Typhoon Flight 2 is tasked with eliminating the orbital defense stations and then assisting with the remaining capital ships.

Keep your heads on a swivel as we may need to call you back to protect us from the Kilji bombers if they become too much for us to handle.

Good luck everyone.

===Radio Messages===
<CPT Fell> Alright Flight 2, our job is simple: destroy their fleet, preferably before they have a chance to launch more fighters or even worse, retreat out of the gravity well. Remember, while our missiles are no longer susceptible to their dibber screens, we still can’t go for a target lock or their gunners will be able to hit our warheads

<CPT Fell> Don’t be afraid to call for help if you are getting targeted by too many Marmalade fighters, and keep focused on your mission. Everyone is counting on us to burn down the enemy’s fleet as quickly as possible to prevent us all from being overwhelmed by their reinforcements

<COL Pitt> Understood Three, we got this

<COL Pitt> That’s one!

<COL Pitt> We got another cruiser!

<LCM Yoyo> Some Kilji ships are running

<CPT Fell> We got to destroy them before they get away!

<VA Setzer> To all fighters, we are taking a pounding. Get rid of these bombers attacking us

<VA Setzer> Our shields are down, hurry!

<VA Setzer> The Renegade has been destroyed, our offensive has failed

<Renegade> Get these bombers off of us

<Renegade> Our shields are down, save us!

<Renegade> The Challenge has been destroyed, our offensive has failed

<CPT Fell> That’s it for their capital ships. Now for those Orbital Stations

<VA Setzer> P3069 is ours. Good work everyone. Report to your ships for debriefing

===Victory Briefing===
The sweat soaked pilots of Wing X climbed from their cockpits after they landed aboard the ISDII Challenge. The planet of Yakab, and its orbital factories and shipyards had been successfully wrested from the Kilji’s hands. No longer would their industrial might strengthen the Kilji’s hold on the Rift.

They had been easy prey for the Kilji, who indoctrinated many of their industrialist and so had swayed much of the population to the way of the Illumine. It would take time for the radical religion to be rooted out of the planet’s leadership, but that was not the TIE Corps of the Emperor’s Hammer concern. They were here to rescue the Rift from the foreign invaders, not to be colonizers themselves. To be sure, the TIE Corps would replenish their supplies and make sure the resources of this world would not be used to continue the terror of the Kilji’s faith in the region, but the Corps had a mission here in the Chaos, and it wasn’t to solve all their problems for them.

Vice Admiral Setzer detailed some of the Battlegroup’s support vessels to remain, to oversee the removal of Kilji sympathizers from positions of power and to safeguard the assets of Yakab for its people, and the peoples of the Rift. Meanwhile, he ordered the rest of the fleet to continue to P3865, Cardio Prime. A world under Imperial control, cut off by the battle lines in the Rift for many long months. It had been impossible to establish lines of communication to Cardio Prime and the only way the TIE Corps knew they were still in Imperial hands was the scant reports from the agents of the Secret Order. The reports only told that the world was still suffering from the effects of the Kilji occupation and that they were barely holding on against the repeated Kilji raids.

But now relief was finally coming, but what would the pilots of Battlegroup III find when they got there was anyone’s guess.

==Mission 3: Defense of Cardio Prime==
[[File:TFTC-TC_15-m3.jpg]]
===Commander's Briefing===
The sun was just beginning to dip below the horizon as Captain Jagged Fell looked out over the gently lapping waves of the ocean world of Cardio Prime. Jagged’s heart was heavy and the peaceful serenity of the ocean waves was acting as a much-needed balm to his soul.

The inhabitants of Cardio Prime follow a rigid, hierarchical social order, one unwilling to bend to the religious lies of the Kilji’s Enlightenment. When the planetary populace had refused to adopt the Kilji’s false religion, they had captured the clan leaders of the resistance and brought them before the people. All in attendance thought the Kilji meant to kill or torture the clan leaders in the sight of the crowd to force compliance from the population. This would have been hard to see, but the people of Cardio Prime would never have bowed to this tyranny and the act would only harden the resolve of the people to rebel against their orange-skinned invaders.

But the Kilji slavers had plans of such cruelty that it would break any who would dare to oppose them. As they finished strapping the five leaders into their restraints, they did not begin to torture them, at least not in the “normal” sense of that word. Instead, they brought out the children of the leaders, and while they were forced to watch, slowly vivisected each child one by one. Their screams of pain as they were cut open and all their organs splayed out on the table around them were only matched by the screams of rage and horror of their parents, who due to their own restraints were unable to even look away from the slow, agonizing deaths of their children. The Kilji’s long practice with this barbarism was evident in their skill at keeping the children alive long after they should have died from shock and blood loss. After watching the children of the resistance leaders being butchered, no fight was left in Cardio Prime. Even now, months after their liberation, the shock and horror of that day rang throughout the once vibrant culture of the world.

After hearing the first-hand accounts, and having been shown a holorecording of the “lesson” made by the Kilji, Jagged had had to run outside the building to vomit in the bushes. Even now, hours later Jagged still wept at what he had just seen, and at the thought that if this is what happened here in less than a month under the Kilji’s thumb, what could have happened on some of these other worlds who the Kilji had been oppressing for more than half a year.

Jagged’s commlink chirped from his pocket.

“Fell.”

“Fell, long-range sensors have detected the expected Kilji assault force,” answered the calm voice of Vice Admiral Locke Setzer. “Report to the briefing room for your assignment in the coming defense.”

“Understood Admiral. I will be there directly.”

[[User:Jaggedfelliii|Jaggedfelliii]] ([[User talk:Jaggedfelliii|talk]])

The lights dimmed in the briefing room as Admiral Setzer began to speak.

“High Command knew that General Krael of the Kilji Fleet could not allow us to gain these victories we’ve had these last few days without a suitable response. But rather than strike out at just one of the worlds we have taken from him, to save face with his troops and his Generalirius, or leader of the Kilji, back on the Kilji’s home world he has once again spread his forces too thin. He has not yet come to fully understand that his once superior defensive and offensive ability is gone.”

“He is coming to take back not only the worlds of G5406 and P3069 that we took from him, but also here at P3865. We must weather his assault and protect this world from falling back into the Kilji’s hands. Many of you know the atrocities that have been committed here, and Krael will stop at nothing to keep the peoples of this world from telling their story to the rest of the Rift and the Chaos as a whole. If word of what happened here spreads to the rest of the Chaos, they would all rise up and unite against this evil scourge.”

===Tactical Briefing Text===
Fortunately Krael continues to employ poor tactics, and the forces coming to attack us should be manageable.

The key will be defeating their bomber forces and protecting our own capital ship.

All fighter groups are to remain by the Fleet, ready to protect us, until given the order to implement our own counter assault.

When cleared to engage, quickly destroy the Kilji ships before they can retreat from the battle.

Remember what happened here and that we fight that it never can happen again.

Good luck.

<CPT Fell> Ok Two Flight, we have our targets. Keep your lasers charged to be ready to intercept any warhead streams and go for paired missile shots at maximum range to thin the herd

<COL Pitt> Roger

<MAJ Varsis> Ten-Four

<LCM Yoyo> Understood

<CPT Fell> Professor, stay on my wing. The rest of you, take care of those bombers

<CPT Fell> Challenge, these corvettes are loaded with explosives. They are trying to engage in a suicide run

<VA Setzer> That last torpedo hit that made it through your defensive screen temporarily knocked out our engines. We can’t maneuver out of the corvette’s path. You must destroy it!

<CPT Fell> Great work Professor! I owe you a drink of your choice tonight

<COL Pitt> I’ll hold you to that

<CPT Fell> Two Flight, I am tired of these Kilji warships above this beautiful world. Breakoff and focus all your fire on the nearest capital ship. Sweep them from the sky

<VA Setzer> To all fighters, we are taking a pounding. Get rid of these bombers attacking us

<VA Setzer> Our shields are down, hurry!

<VA Setzer> The Renegade has been destroyed, our offensive has failed

<Renegade> Get these bombers off of us

<Renegade> Our shields are down, save us!

<Renegade> The Challenge has been destroyed, our offensive has failed

<VA Setzer> We have held the line. Great work everyone. Report to your ships for debriefing

===Victory Briefing===
“It is time to end this war over the Tkon Rift,” Vice Admiral Setzer said once again from the podium of the Challenge’s briefing room. “In light of the evidence of the atrocities committed by the Kilji at P3865, High Admiral Plif has directed that all Battlegroups stop at nothing to free every last world from the Kilji’s domination as soon as possible.”

==Mission 4: Final Assault==
[[File:TFTC-TC_15-m4.png]]
===Commander's Briefing===
“We have been given the honor of assaulting the Kilji stronghold world of A38Z8, named Terakine in their initial broadcasts. This is the world from which General Krael has been directing the depredations here in the Rift. While the other Battlegroups may be liberating more worlds of the Rift, we expect to be fighting their main battle fleet above Terakine.”

“We have called up and reactivated several of our reserve squadrons for today’s operation. Their pilots will be reporting to assist our active squadrons in their normally assigned missions.”

“They have had months to shore up the defenses of this world. And unlike the others of the Rift, their forces have not been drawn off in one of the other battles we have had these last few days. Unfortunately, we may have to accept some losses of Emperor’s Hammer personnel on this assault. But I know that the soldiers and pilots of Battlegroup III will look out for one another and see us through to the other side of this war.”

[[User:Jaggedfelliii|Jaggedfelliii]] ([[User talk:Jaggedfelliii|talk]])

As Jagged walked down the hallway from the Briefing Room to the Hanger, General Silwar Naiilo called out to him.

“Hold up for a minute Jagged.”

Jagged stopped and turned to face the affable human man. He of course had heard rumors that Silwar had a dark side to him, but Jagged had never seen it. Silwar tilted his head towards an open hatch, indicating he wanted to talk to Jagged outside the flow of pedestrian traffic in the corridor. Jagged followed, mildly curious what the General wanted to talk about in private. Once both men were inside the room, the hatch closed, seemingly of its own accord.

“Hey Jagged, I know Locke has tagged you to lead our bomber forces out there today.”

“Well, at least the Missile Boats. The E-Wings and B-Wings are being led by others.”

“Yeah, I heard that too. But for my money, you will be in the vanguard most of the time as none of the others will have the speed and will have to stick close to their motherships to be able to rearm. With your heavy load out, you will be the ones sent after the deep targets.”

“I don’t disagree, what of it?”

“I have a special mission for you.”

“What do you mean?”

“At the start of the battle, while the Kilji still have their ships huddled in close to their Flagship, the Divine Hand, or one of the orbital battle-stations, I want you to do a deep strike against the Divine Hand.”

“What?! That would be suicide! Krael is going to have that ship surrounded by anti-bomber defenses.”

“I don’t know. He is most likely going to send everything he got ready to fly straight at our forces the moment we come out of hyperspace. He won’t want to give us the chance to start dismantling his forces. Overwhelming firepower, that's all he seems to be able to do these days when it comes to tactics.”

“Even so, what good would it do to take out the Divine Hand? Yeah, if it has Krael aboard it might cause some disarray in their Command and Control, but one of his chief lieutenants would just step in and then our most effective bombers would be eaten alive, cut off from support and surrounded by enemy ships. Heck, if a competent commander takes over for Krael it might even make everything worse for us.”

“Normally, you would be right but I got a feeling that things might be different today. Look, I can’t order you to do this as you don’t report to me, but think on it and do what you think is best when the time is right.”

And with that the General walked out of the room. Jagged was so confused about what Silwar had just proposed to him that he didn’t even notice Silwar touching any door controls. He must have had a control data pad in his pocket. Jagged just shook his head and left the room to resume his journey to the Hangar and his fighter.

===Tactical Briefing Text===
Looks like it is going to be a bloody battle today. We are out numbered and they are expected to call for reinforcements if pressed by our attack.

Our mission is the liberation of A38Z8, and the destruction of the Divine Hand. If we can achieve our mission we will have brought about the Liberation of the Rift.

The fear is that the Divine Hand will run rather than be destroyed. This would be a disaster and prolong this war.

Protect the Challenge and Renegade, and look out for one another.

That is all.

<CPT Fell> Ok Missile Boats, I have a wild plan. We are not going to get tied up in fighting all those fighters coming at us. We are going to go straight through their lines and surprise attack those ships in the rear

<COL Pitt> That’s crazy Jagged

<CPT Fell> I know it is, but I can’t stand the thought of those monsters who did all those horrible things on Cardio Prime getting away from this battle. And if we stop to fight all these fighters, that is exactly what will happen. They are going to wait and see how the battle is going, and if we manage to turn this onslaught to the side and beat them back, those command ships in the rear are just going to flee from the Rift back to Kilji home space

===Victory Briefing===
Proper military decorum was abandoned aboard the ships of Battlegroup III in the aftermath of the destruction of the hated Kilji invasion fleet. The jubilation was riotous as Jagged climbed out of his fighter. Hangar technicians and pilots alike were celebrating their luck. Going into the battle, sure that many of them would be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice to rid the Tkon Rift of the evil stain of the Kilji had weighed upon them all in ways they had not realized until the pall was lifted. Already the rumor mill was reporting that the Fleet was being ordered to attack the Kilji home systems, to eradicate them from the Chaos entirely, but that didn’t interest Jagged at the moment, he wanted answers.

The sudden destruction of the Kilji fleet was amazing and the topic of almost all the conversation on the Hangar Deck and in the ship corridors as Jagged moved deeper into the Challenge, looking for his quarry. Finally, he found him, working quietly on his datapad in a pilot’s ready room, two decks up from the hangar.

“What was that out there, Silwar?”

“What was what, captain?”

“You know what I am talking about. You knew that would happen, that the Kilji would all explode. It is why you told me to go for the Divine Hand first.”

“I have no idea what you are talking about. I am not your commanding officer. There is no way I could have given you an order to attack any target over another. Especially not a dangerous tactic such as what you deployed.”

“Silwar, what happened? How did we win that battle? We should have lost. There was no way we could have beaten them all with the forces we had available to us. But once my warheads took out that Command ship the rest just started exploding like some sort of chain reaction, but I know they weren’t all close enough together to all be caught up in each other’s explosions. I won’t tell anyone what you say, I just need to know how you did it.”

“Not conceding whatsoever that I had any part in what you are talking about. In fact, if you review the security cam data it can be clearly shown I went directly to my fighter after the mission briefing today and therefore couldn’t have had any conversation with you about today’s battle. But that all being understood, perhaps I heard that certain agents, of a possibly Secret Order, could have planted charges in all the key installations in the system in the last few weeks, all tied to a subspace signal from the Divine Hand. That the only ship the alleged agents couldn’t get aboard was the Divine Hand and that if the charges went off without the destruction of Krael that it would have done nothing for the war effort. That all that was missing was the killing of Krael before he could run from the Rift. Again, all hypothetically mind you. You wouldn’t even be believed if you told this to anyone, and I might be quite angry if you did.”

“Don’t worry general, I won’t say anything. You are right, no one would believe me if I did.”

“Just so long as we understand each other Jagged. Why don’t you go join the partying? I am sure as the man who killed Krael, you will have plenty of people wanting to buy you a drink tonight.”

Jagged left the general to his work and headed to the Typhoon Squadron’s ready room to find a pretty good party had already been thrown together, but he still wondered to himself how Silwar had done it.
