{{Emperor's Hammer Manual}}
Welcome to the '''Emperor's Hammer Manual'''. The EH Manual acts as a central resource and reference for the entire Emperor's Hammer, covering a vast range of topics from ranks and medals to the structure within the Emperor's Hammer. This manual provides all of the information needed to function and enjoy a career in the club. The Emperor's Hammer is a complex and dynamic organization. Emperor's Hammer veterans are encouraged to periodically review the contents herein, as they are revised as needed.

== Activities ==

The Emperor's Hammer is primarily based on online multiplayer or role play gaming in the Star Wars universe, however, there are many other activities and events available.

The primary activities center around online multiplaying for they set a theme for each Group. The TIE Corps focuses on the space combat sims, the Hammer's Fist on the First Person Shooters, the Directorate on Strategy and the Fringe on Star Wars Galaxies (Star Wars themed Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi is the only exception as it focuses on many aspects and adds in the element of Force users.

The Emperor's Hammer has created thousands of missions/maps for Star Wars games. They are available for download from the Emperor's Hammer Battle Center.

Battle Center status as of this manual revision:

The following list contains only SOME of the activities to participate in within the Emperor's Hammer:

=== Gaming Activities ===

==== Events ====

===== Operations and Competitions =====

All of the activities listed above can be done as an individual effort at any time. You don't wait for some "official" event to come along to be active! When official events do come along, it is always a big event. Official events fall into two categories:
Operations and Competitions.

Operations are the Big Events. They are always Subgroup-wide and frequently have many different activities to encourage everyone to participate. Because they are so complex, they involve many man-hours of preparation and do not occur more than once every few months.

Competitions are more local events. They are usually at the unit level or below, pitting unit against unit at various echelons (Squadron, Ship, etc.). Intra-unit competitions can settle who is the best flight in a squadron or squad in a platoon. Competitions may be run by any member, and only require approval at the Subgroup Command level.

== Structure ==

[[File:Eh-org-chart-20230819.png|1000px]]

The Emperor's Hammer (formally the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet) is comprised of a senior governing body (the Command Staff) and several [[subgroup]]s representing various elements of the Emperor's Hammer military, paramilitary, intelligence, and governmental structures.

=== Command Staff ===

The Emperor's Hammer Command Staff (EHCS, alternatively EH CS) comprise the upper levels of command in the Emperor's Hammer.

The Command Staff Officers and Command Staff Support Officers are the primary people in charge of various activities in the Emperor's Hammer. They are supported by '''Command Attache''' to each Command Staff Officer as well as the '''Imperial Advisors'''. Each position and office is vital to the success and day to day function of the fleet. The Command Staff was formerly divided into two sections: the Command Staff and Support Staff. Now the Command Staff operates as one unit, with all support officers operating under their primary office.

The responsibilities of each Command Staff position include:

* Independently overseeing and maintaining their various areas of duty.
* Submitting reports as needed.
* Appointing a Command Attachés and Command Assistants, when needed.
* Promoting their Command Attaché and Command Assistants, and awarding medals for duties rendered.
* Awarding and/or recommending medals and commendations to the membership for achievements.
* Reviewing comments, answering questions, etc. from the Emperor' Hammer membership.
* Forwarding important news to relevant parties.
* Being familiar with all primary reference materials including manuals and rules/regulations.
* Being familiar with all Emperor's Hammer primary web sites and communication platforms (Emperor's Hammer and subgroups, Discord, etc).
* Coordinating and/or participating in competitions (when possible).
* Attending on-line meetings (when possible).

==== Line of Succession ====

In the event that both the [[Fleet Commander]] and [[Executive Officer]] are unable to fulfill their duties, the [[Subgroup Commander]]s will have direct control of their subgroups within the oversight of the [[Board of Trustees]], until such time that the Board of Trustees may gather for an emergency session to select a new Fleet Commander. Individual Command Staff members and Subgroup Commanders will report the status of any projects to the Board of Trustees until a new Fleet Commander is appointed.

'''Hela''' is perhaps the most inhospitable planet in the [[Phare System]] with the exception of [[Loki]]. It is a completely lifeless and barren planetoid in a close orbit to Odin. Consequently, it has the look of Hell itself. The surface of the planet is baked to a hard crust with almost no geologic activity and a thin, stagnant searing atmosphere. However, below the surface, Imperial colonists have created a small mining colony to extract some of the richest mineral and metal ore deposits in the entire system.
{{Imperial University Course}}

==Geography==

From orbit, Hela appears to be nothing more than a hellish world with nothing more to boast than a crust-surface with veins of molten lava spread throughout. This is a fairly accurate description of the world. The planet is uninhabitable by all standards, with only high-tech mining vehicles being capable of withstanding the extreme heat and radiation on the planet surface, and even then only for short durations, imposing severe limits on the ability to survey or attempt any extraction process. Whilst the world itself could barely prove more inhospitable it is at least fortunate that even limited extraction can take place, as the crusted surface is rich in seams of molten metals and minerals, most of which form the key chemical components of the more advanced alloys utilized in starship construction, in particular the specialist fields of engine construction - a reactor shield formed from a Hela-blended alloy has been found to reduce energy leakage by a massive 15%, a substantial energy saving on a vessel the size of an Imperial Star Destroyer.

==Cities, Structures, and Demographics==

There is no indigenous life on Hela since the planet surface is at temperatures high enough to boil water. In fact, there is no free standing water on the planet, having been long ago evaporated. Much of the planet remains unvisited by humans as they tend to restrict their operations to the essential mining activities. There are occasional dust storms which sweep the flat landscape of the equatorial regions in which the winds reportedly exceed 700 kph. It should be noted that humans can not survive unprotected in the Hela atmosphere for more than 1-2 minutes before their bodily fluids begin to boil in the dry, searing atmosphere.

Miners are among the only members of society to travel to the planet, but even they prefer to stay away from the world as often as possible, more so than they are forced to already by the planet's erratic geological state. The elliptical orbit of Hela has ensured that as it passes closest to its star the entire world is shaken by seismic forces as the fragile crust is subject to the increased gravitational forces caused by proximity to the central stellar body. With effectively half of the Helan year involving the planet tearing itself apart, it is simply impossible to establish even semi-permanent structures on the surface, at least by traditional means. It is rumored that Clan Scholae Palatinae maintains a base on Hela, maintained by the sheer power of the Dark Side, assisted by classified repulsor technology. The [[Dark Brotherhood]] has neither confirmed or denied these rumors, however, and insists that the Clan's location is classified information.

Attempts have been made in the past to establish habitat facilities in orbit, but the extreme cost of radiation shield maintenance has far outweighed the gain of constructing such a facility, and all efforts have been halted before completion or simply abandoned when the radiation shielding failed. It has proved far more profitable to simply wait until the orbit carries Hela away from her star and land large industrial crews on the surface, ensuring that maximum efficiency from the assigned labor maximizes yield before the extraction season ends. When it does so all miners simply depart, their vessels holds overflowing, filled to capacity. The next seismic cycle commences, massive new deposits are dragged to the surface, replacing the mined out seams, and once again the crews descend in a perpetual frenzy of activity.

==Economy==

The profits for the private individual or company are massive, despite heavy taxation by the authorities, but the demand for Helan materials is constant, ensuring that every cycle new crews are attracted to the potentially lucrative but risky industry. Every miner on Hela knows that at any moment the planet's constantly unreliable seismology could turn against them, whilst even the most basic equipment failure can leave a worker exposed to massive doses of radiation and an agonising death - however, despite the high mortality rate, all those involved - from the mining families to the heads of the various mining guilds and company executives - continue to return, even as more and more hopefuls from surrounding worlds try their hand. Whilst the private guilds, with a heavy Imperial involvement and sponsorship, attempt to impose a measure of regulation on the industry there is very little to stop private individuals with a ship attempting to profit.

The guilds, led by HelaTec and Imphela, have since realised that the grisly and unpleasant fates met by the vast majority of these prospectors actually adds to their ow assets, the guilds are able to contract cheap labor en masse by providing far more reliable equipment and safety guarantees, further adding to their own profit margins even with extra spending on technology. The guilds themselves often play prominent roles in the politics and industry of the worlds on which they are based, within easy reach of Hela, a fact carefully observed by an ever watchful Directorate mindful of the immense power and influence even a single successful extraction cycle can guarantee.

=== The Shadow Academy ===

The Shadow Academy is the Dark Brotherhood's main hall of learning in the Dark Brotherhood. In
the past the Shadow Academy was a sole academy on the planet of Eos, developed by the former
Fleet Commander, Grand Admiral Ronin. Over time, just like the Dark Hall, the Shadow Academy
evolved to meet each changing era. Almost every Headmaster since Ronin has brought some minor
or major addition or change to the Shadow Academy. Soon the addition of campuses came to the
Shadow Academy, though the original names of them soon fell into the terms of Obelisk, Krath,
and Sith. These campuses were once tied into the Dark Hall, but as the Brotherhood grew it was
obvious that the Dark Hall was housing too many, and placing itself at an unnecessary risk with holding
so many force sensitives at once. To meet this problem the three campuses were moved from the
Shadow Academy to their new respective homes. Each of the campuses has been renamed to match
their current location.

=== Eos: Main Campus ===

The Eos Campus is the first and original Shadow Academy campus. It is mostly tied in with the Dark Hall, but also to the Whispering Library and the Forgotten Chamber. It is here where all new Initiates are brought for training. They are given temporary housing at the Dark Hall in the Initiate Dormitory. Outside of Initiate training the Eos Campus is the center for all General Dark Jedi Studies, and is the primary office of the Shadow Academy, which houses and offices the Headmaster, Praetor to the Headmaster, and any Pontiffs. In addition to Eos Campus there are two structures that are underground, but not directly attached to the Dark Hall. These are the Whispering Library and the Forgotten Chamber. Both are below and to the rear of the Dark Hall, and are only accessible by the Dark Council.

The Whispering Library is built up of all of the Brotherhoods most important holocrons and records. The very knowledge escapes the holocrons in whispers in ancient Sith, Krath and Obelisk. Teachings from all the former Grand Masters, and knowledge from many of the ancient Sith Lords, all rest in secrecy hidden away from most all the Brotherhood and galaxy alike. The Whispering Library has a very special defense, unlike most computers that require a retinal, thumb, or password scan... the door will not even open without a small blood sacrifice. The computer analyzes the blood and midichlorian count of the Dark Jedi to match up to one of the Dark Council. Should a blood analysis be denied the security mechanisms neutralize the failed Dark Jedi. Eight lightning casters, using electricity as powerful as the bolts of a Dark Side Adept will electrocute the intruder until they are dust. If this fails the hallway then releases flame cannons to burn out the intruder, and in the case that the intruder has managed to escape both, a laser grid is used to dice the intruder into two inch squares.

The Forgotten Chamber is a newly developed Dueling Chamber reserved for selected Dark Jedi to train with the most elite of duelist, and the Dark Council. This is mostly used for special divisions such as the Grand Master's Royal Guard, and the different leaders of the Brotherhood, but special exceptions are made. The Forgotten Chamber has been especially enchanted to allow members to bring their meditations to life should they choose to duel themselves, or even a former spirit. People can easily die in the Forgotten Chamber if the wrong spirit should be invoked which is why it is mostly off limits. Though when one trains among the Forgotten Chamber it is said to increase one's ability twice of what it would in normal training establishments. At current the Forgotten Chamber is off limits to all but the Dark Council.

=== Eos : Bane Campus ===

An extension of the Eos Campus, the Bane Campus is named after Darth Bane. It is the core of all Krath studies in the Shadow Academy. The campus is located close to the main Eos campus but is smaller than the main campus. The Bane Campus provides housing for its Pontiffs and any long term
students that may be studying there. Among the Bane Campus are the Chaos Pools and Alchemy Chambers of the Shadow Academy. These are both used most commonly by the Krath to invent new spells, potions, curses and more.

There are three Chaos Pools, and these are similar to what you may think they are. These are twenty
feet deep pits where two to six Krath may duel among themselves, practicing newly developed spells and techniques. Though killing is restricted, there have been cases of people dieing in the Chaos Pools, so it is obvious that only the strong survive here.

The Chaos Pools are also used for rituals by the Krath, due to the amount of Force usage in these pits it naturally becomes a place of strong Dark Side presence and makes for excellent magic grounds. No weapons outside of the Force are permitted in the Chaos Pools, and there have been cases in which, over time, after much magic and Force have been used, that the pools have spawned chimera of their own, a result of all the dark magic in one spot. These chimera come strong and weak, the strong ones are kept to serve the Brotherhood as beasts to unleash upon their enemies.

The Alchemy Chambers are where some of the most respected alchemist of the Brotherhood have studied and perfected many potions, and force techniques. The Alchemy Chambers are restricted to Krath
of Protector or greater in rank. Many of the experiments of the Alchemy Chambers are dangerous, and
there have been several cases of death here when potions, spells or even weapons have turned on their
creators and killed them instantly. Alchemy is a dangerous, yet powerful study and only the wisest can survive it. These chambers are mostly used by the Krath, but some Sith and even a handful of Obelisk Alchemist have been recorded using them.

=== Eos : Sadow Campus ===

Another extention of the main campus, the Sadow campus named after Naga Sadow, Dark Lord
of the Sith. All historical studies of the Brotherhood are housed at the Sadow Campus. This is the
smallest but also one of the most important of the campuses. This is where the Grand Library of
the Brotherhood is located. It is here that a majority of all knowledges that are not restricted are
located. The galactic map is located within the Grand Library, as is several holocrons, holobooks,
and records of the Brotherhood. Though currently restricted to Dux, Consul, and Dark Council at the
moment, the Sadow Campus is also the home of all Clan and Hetaeria studies.

=== Eos : Vader Campus ===

The Vader campus is named after Darth Vader, former Executor and Dark Lord of the Sith. It is the main office of all Sith studies in the Dark Brotherhood. It is the second smallest of the campuses as it only houses the main offices and a few classrooms. The only special attraction of the Vader Campus
is the Warrior's Pits, which is the Sith's version of the Chaos Pools. These pits are designed to resist more intense blasts, and are equipped with a rotating weapon arsonal inside. There are five Warrior's Pits all together though some are restricted to Equites or higher. The Vader Campus is only a small portion of the entire Sith Studies Campus, the larger portion is focused on flight studies.

=== SSD Avenger : Sidius Campus ===

Located aboard the SSD Avenger is the Sidious Campus, named after the Sith Darth Sidious. This is the mostly used Campus of the Sith. Due to it being aboard the SSD Avenger it gives students
the advantage of live combat experience. The students of this campus are housed and supported
aboard the Avenger where they are on call starfighter pilots at all times. There are several classrooms aboard the Avenger to support the Rapier Campus, along with a majority of the Pontiffs for the Sith Studies.

=== Kaiburr : Revan Campus ===

Named after the Sith Lord Darth Revan, the Revan Campus makes its home on the Obelisk world of
Kaiburr, appropriate as it is the mainstay of the Obelisk studies. The Revan campus is most likely
the largest of all the campuses due to the several war fields, battles domes, and the two massive
War Spheres. This campus also provides housing for its Pontiffs and any students. Though rarely
used, there are several classrooms for any studies outside of direct combat. The mostly used
portion of this campus are the two War Spheres which are actually an invention of the Krath. These
spheres can alter reality to any perspective needed, and can physically harm anyone inside of them.
They are used for intense training by the Obelisk, as the very gravity in side the spheres can be
intensified to bring greater stength from the training.

=== The Academy Staff ===

Originally there was only the Headmaster, then the positions of Praetor and Magistrate to the Headmaster were later added to the list of Shadow Academy Staff. These three members were the only staff for quite some time in DB
history, but around 20-22ABY the development of Pontiffs increased the number of staff greatly. Each position of the Shadow Academy has a very important role to perform, as all positions work together like a living body with organs to perform the needed tasks to keep it alive. Below you will find each of the positions and a description of what they do, what rites they carry and any other specialties they may hold.

-( Headmaster )-

The Headmaster of the Shadow Academy is the sole leader, and commander of the entire Academy along with any and all Dark Brotherhood learning establishments and campuses. The Headmaster is responsible for the training of all new Initiates to the Brotherhood, maintenance of the Shadow Academy, creation and approval of all new courses, and is the Head of Recruitment for the Dark Brotherhood. Like all Dark Council the Headmaster may also act as a diplomat for the Brotherhood if need be. Outside of these standard duties, the Headmaster also acts as a logistics officer for the Brotherhood by keeping records at the Shadow Academy. The Headmaster is also an authorized member of the Fleet Training Office, working as an assistant to the Fleet Training Officer to better education and training as a whole for the entire Fleet.

The primary home of the Headmaster is at the Dark Hall on Eos where the main the main office of the Headmaster is located, along with a personal section of the Dark Hall for the Headmaster's personal use. Despite this, the Headmaster has an office and housing at every branch of the Shadow Academy. The position is recognized as the fourth seat of the Dark Council, thus the position is one of respectable responsibility and power within the entire Brotherhood.

-( Praetor to the Headmaster )-

Turtle Jerrar: shadow academy link

=Graduate of the Dark Arts=

Graduate of the Dark Arts is a graduate qualification of the [[Shadow Academy]].

Obtaining this graduate title is a great honor, and demonstrates intense devotion to the scholarly study of the Dark Side as it requires passing scores in almost all courses available for study within the Shadow Academy, plus additional study and work beyond that.

Achieving this qualification requires satisfactory completion of the prerequisite certifications "Certificate in Force Application" and "Certificate in Force History", as well as passing scores of the prerequisite courses "Nature of the Darkside" parts I through III. The applicant must then complete a Graduate of the Dark Arts Capstone Thesis, demonstrating their intimate knowledge of the Force and of the Dark Side that they have acquired through their studies. After completing the thesis with a passing score, the applicant can finally request approval of the Graduate of the Dark Arts qualification.

Members of the [[Secret Order]] who achieve this graduate qualification may also be awarded with the [[Ruby Scepter]].

Similar to other graduate qualifications, Graduate of the Dark Arts Capstone Theses may be published in the journal of the [[Imperial University]], "Proceedings", adding to the body of knowledge that comprises the Imperial University.

=General information=

[[Major]] KEBLAOMEGA is currently a [[Flight Leader]] of [[Lambda Squadron]] in [[Wing I]] aboard the [[ISDII Hammer]] for the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[TIE Corps]].

He is also a [[Knight]] in the [[Dark_Brotherhood|Secret Order]].

His personal craft is a red, custom TIE Interceptor with the designation "[[Crimson Lightning]]".

=Background=

Raised on the streets in the underbelly of Coruscant, and having some skill with swoop racing, he was able to stay out of too much trouble by competing in some of the somewhat more-legitimate racing circuits, using a red swoop bike he had nicknamed "Crimson Lightning". When he became a teenager, his piloting skills and reflexes were noticed by an Imperial officer who helped him enroll in an Imperial naval training academy.

After completing his training at the academy, he spent some time as a mercenary pilot. He obtained a red customized TIE Interceptor which he named the "[[Crimson Lightning|Crimson Lightning II]]" and frequently used as his preferred craft. As an independent pilot, many successful missions earned him the pilot rating "Galactic Ace" (Star Wars Squadrons, operation 2) and in addition to flying missions he enjoyed competing in several contests of skill, before eventually being recruited to join the elite Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps. After his enlistment, he met his (soon-to-be) wife, an information officer. They had a son together shortly after marrying. When their son turned two-years-old and they were thinking of having another child, his wife and child disappeared suddenly and without explanation.

Following this, Keblaomega then dedicated himself to his career in the TIE Corps and on honing his skills as a pilot.

=Career=

Keblaomega’s first assignment in the TIE Corps was as a flight member of [[Beta Squadron]]. As he earned his wings, flying in many combat engagements, training exercises, and TIE Corps pilot competitions, he had several notable achievements. These included twice winning the Week of War competition, earning him the [[Distinguished Flying Cross]] on both occasions.

He then led Beta Squadron as Squadron Commander for a tour of duty before stepping down to a SQXO position to focus more heavily on perfecting his skills as a pilot. In this role he flew in the [[Neutralization of the Ishtari]] Campaign.

After learning of his Force sensitivity, Keblaomega was inducted into the [[Dark_Brotherhood|Secret Order]]. He quickly became enthusiastically dedicated to studying the Force at the [[Shadow Academy]]. After completing all of the standard courses, he continued his studies further and earned the graduate title of [[Graduate of the Dark Arts]] and was awarded the [[Ruby Scepter]].

Keblaomega was then shortly after able to put theory to practice, fighting in the [[Defending the Rift]] Campaign both as a pilot of the TIE Corps and as a warrior of the Secret Order. His victories in this time earned him the [[Silver Nova]], the [[Kaiburr Star]], and induction to the [[The Guard]] of the Secret Order, with the title Guardian of the Second Circle.

As the TIE Corps prepared to reorganize and remobilize after the Tkon Rift Campaign, Keblaomega was reassigned to [[Lambda Squadron]] as a flight leader. Not long after, he achieved the [[Fleet Commander's Honor Guard]] rank of Imperator, becoming the 8th ever TIE Corps pilot to do so.

=Biography=

Full name Rui Otrebla Aicrag Borges, also known by many names and nicknames including some a "bit of infamous" adjectives given by colleagues such as "Murderer", "Sociopath", "Vicious", "Priest", and "Insane". Born on the planet {{SW Wiki|Dathomir}}, also known as the "Rancor Planet," which is located in the Dathomir System of the Quelli Sector, in the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy. {{SW Wiki|Dathomir}} is a remote and wild world filled with fierce creatures and powerful Force-wielding witches known as the {{SW Wiki|Nightsisters}}.</br>

He is the result of genetic engineering studies conducted by Mother Talzin's genetic engineers applied to witchcraft to create exceptional warriors. From a young age, Rui was trained in the ways of combat, magic, religion, and the Force, by the dominant clan, who made him a potential warrior of great power. He distinguished himself in {{SW Wiki|Teräs Käsi}}, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenjutsu Kenjutsu], and {{SW Wiki|Lightsaber combat}}.

==Childhood==

As a youth, Rui Borges honed his skills in the art of {{SW Wiki|Lightsaber combat|lightsaber combat}}, mastering the use of a {{SW Wiki|Double-bladed lightsaber|double-bladed lightsaber}} weapon and deepening his knowledge in the Juyo/Vapaad Form. He also learned to harness the power of the {{SW Wiki|Dark side of the Force|Dark Side of the Force}}, using it to enhance his physical abilities and gain control over others.<br>

==Important moments==

[[Image:PHOTO.jpg|thumb|left|<center>Rui, the author</center>]] One of the significant events of his youth was a bloody confrontation that occurred before the {{SW Wiki|Battle of Dathomir}}. It was a conflict between the Nightsisters and a group of Jedi who sought to destroy the clan. Rui "Sith" Borges fought alongside his brothers and sisters, using his skills and powers to defeat the Jedi invaders. However, he was not satisfied with just a victory; he wanted more. <br>

"Sith" left his homeplanet and joined a [[Dark_Brotherhood|secret group of Sith Lords]], where he was trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a powerful {{SW Wiki|Sith Lord}} in his own right. "Sith" also knowed as Darth Sin, a devilish Sith Lord, completed various missions and engagements, destroying Jedi and other enemies of the Dark Side and expanding the power of the {{SW Wiki||Sith|Sith Order}}.

At the same time his studies were grown on the Dark Brotherwood he engaged the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/university.php Imperial University], which led him to start serve the Empire as an Imperial Tie Pilot of the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org TIE CORPS], assigned to the [[Warrior|ISD Warrior]] Vessel and as a member of the [[Sin_Squadron|Sin Squadron]]. His motto, "All the devils are here," still holds true to this day.<br><br></br></br>

==Social life==
[[Image:Drakonan.jpg|thumb|left|<center>House Drakonan</center>]] He is known for his anti-social behavior, agressiveness, impulsiveness and deep loyalty to the Dark Side of the Force with a burning passion for his duties. "Sith" is a skilled and experienced "Dark" Pilot, who makes use of his unique approach and unorthodox tactics to defend the Empire against any threats. His results speak for themselves. He´s not afraid to take risks and make sacrifices for the greater good of the Empire, and he is willing to use the spacecrafts on his disposal (his "Black Pearl" [[X-Bomber|X-Bomber]]) equipped with powerful weapons, and his abilities that strike fear in the heart of enemies. While he may be viewed with suspicion or mistrust by some, those who fly with him and understand the importance of his skills know that he is a valuable asset to the Empire and will continue to serve with passion and dedication. <br>

== "Knowledge comes to those who seek, not to those who want" ==

=== Early Life of Destavol Gin ===

Destavol's early life was very common to those of many Imperials. As a child he was raised by his mother and father on the planet of Aurora Prime. He was born into the Gin family, which is nobility on the planet Aurora Prime, thus the young man was offered only the finest of opportunities and education. He was educated mostly on Aurora Prime where he also spent his entire childhood and teens. Over his early years Destavol had become a very skillful hunter, and upon reaching his teenage years he was an amazing skill with a blaster, and starfighter. Upon reaching the age of 16 Destavol graduated his standard studies and was offered the opportunity to go to just about any college or academy of his choosing. As a surprise to his family and friends, he chose to follow in the footsteps of his father and become a Starfighter pilot for the Galactic Empire.

He started his training at the ASA - Auroran Starfighter Academy, where he trained for nearly 2 years until he gained his wings and was placed as a pilot in the planetary defense corps. Destavol served with the Auroran Starfighter Corps until the battle of Yavin when he was recruited into the Imperial Starfighter Corps. He served as a pilot of the remnant for nearly 4 years before his fleet claimed independence from the remaining remnant and became the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet under the command of their Warlord, Grand Admiral Ronin. He was 24 years old when he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and assigned to Slayer Squadron of the newly formed TIE Corps.

=== A Brotherhood of Darkness ===

After two years of service with the TIE Corps, Destavol's skill had become well noticed to the fleet and the Dark Brotherhood. He was called upon by the clan Taldryan where he was soon inducted into the Brotherhood.

=== The Shadow Academy ===

The Shadow Academy is the Dark Brotherhood's main hall of learning in the Dark Brotherhood. In
the past the Shadow Academy was a sole academy on the planet of Eos, developed by the former
Fleet Commander, Grand Admiral Ronin. Over time, just like the Dark Hall, the Shadow Academy
evolved to meet each changing era. Almost every Headmaster since Ronin has brought some minor
or major addition or change to the Shadow Academy. Soon the addition of campuses came to the
Shadow Academy, though the original names of them soon fell into the terms of Obelisk, Krath,
and Sith. These campuses were once tied into the Dark Hall, but as the Brotherhood grew it was
obvious that the Dark Hall was housing too many, and placing itself at an unnecessary risk with holding
so many force sensitives at once. To meet this problem the three campuses were moved from the
Shadow Academy to their new respective homes. Each of the campuses has been renamed to match
their current location.

=== Eos: Main Campus ===

The Eos Campus is the first and original Shadow Academy campus. It is mostly tied in with the Dark Hall, but also to the Whispering Library and the Forgotten Chamber. It is here where all new Initiates are brought for training. They are given temporary housing at the Dark Hall in the Initiate Dormitory. Outside of Initiate training the Eos Campus is the center for all General Dark Jedi Studies, and is the primary office of the Shadow Academy, which houses and offices the Headmaster, Praetor to the Headmaster, and any Pontiffs. In addition to Eos Campus there are two structures that are underground, but not directly attached to the Dark Hall. These are the Whispering Library and the Forgotten Chamber. Both are below and to the rear of the Dark Hall, and are only accessible by the Dark Council.

The Whispering Library is built up of all of the Brotherhoods most important holocrons and records. The very knowledge escapes the holocrons in whispers in ancient Sith, Krath and Obelisk. Teachings from all the former Grand Masters, and knowledge from many of the ancient Sith Lords, all rest in secrecy hidden away from most all the Brotherhood and galaxy alike. The Whispering Library has a very special defense, unlike most computers that require a retinal, thumb, or password scan... the door will not even open without a small blood sacrifice. The computer analyzes the blood and midichlorian count of the Dark Jedi to match up to one of the Dark Council. Should a blood analysis be denied the security mechanisms neutralize the failed Dark Jedi. Eight lightning casters, using electricity as powerful as the bolts of a Dark Side Adept will electrocute the intruder until they are dust. If this fails the hallway then releases flame cannons to burn out the intruder, and in the case that the intruder has managed to escape both, a laser grid is used to dice the intruder into two inch squares.

The Forgotten Chamber is a newly developed Dueling Chamber reserved for selected Dark Jedi to train with the most elite of duelist, and the Dark Council. This is mostly used for special divisions such as the Grand Master's Royal Guard, and the different leaders of the Brotherhood, but special exceptions are made. The Forgotten Chamber has been especially enchanted to allow members to bring their meditations to life should they choose to duel themselves, or even a former spirit. People can easily die in the Forgotten Chamber if the wrong spirit should be invoked which is why it is mostly off limits. Though when one trains among the Forgotten Chamber it is said to increase one's ability twice of what it would in normal training establishments. At current the Forgotten Chamber is off limits to all but the Dark Council.

=== Eos : Bane Campus ===

An extension of the Eos Campus, the Bane Campus is named after Darth Bane. It is the core of all Krath studies in the Shadow Academy. The campus is located close to the main Eos campus but is smaller than the main campus. The Bane Campus provides housing for its Pontiffs and any long term
students that may be studying there. Among the Bane Campus are the Chaos Pools and Alchemy Chambers of the Shadow Academy. These are both used most commonly by the Krath to invent new spells, potions, curses and more.

There are three Chaos Pools, and these are similar to what you may think they are. These are twenty
feet deep pits where two to six Krath may duel among themselves, practicing newly developed spells and techniques. Though killing is restricted, there have been cases of people dieing in the Chaos Pools, so it is obvious that only the strong survive here.

The Chaos Pools are also used for rituals by the Krath, due to the amount of Force usage in these pits it naturally becomes a place of strong Dark Side presence and makes for excellent magic grounds. No weapons outside of the Force are permitted in the Chaos Pools, and there have been cases in which, over time, after much magic and Force have been used, that the pools have spawned chimera of their own, a result of all the dark magic in one spot. These chimera come strong and weak, the strong ones are kept to serve the Brotherhood as beasts to unleash upon their enemies.

The Alchemy Chambers are where some of the most respected alchemist of the Brotherhood have studied and perfected many potions, and force techniques. The Alchemy Chambers are restricted to Krath
of Protector or greater in rank. Many of the experiments of the Alchemy Chambers are dangerous, and
there have been several cases of death here when potions, spells or even weapons have turned on their
creators and killed them instantly. Alchemy is a dangerous, yet powerful study and only the wisest can survive it. These chambers are mostly used by the Krath, but some Sith and even a handful of Obelisk Alchemist have been recorded using them.

=== Eos : Sadow Campus ===

Another extention of the main campus, the Sadow campus named after Naga Sadow, Dark Lord
of the Sith. All historical studies of the Brotherhood are housed at the Sadow Campus. This is the
smallest but also one of the most important of the campuses. This is where the Grand Library of
the Brotherhood is located. It is here that a majority of all knowledges that are not restricted are
located. The galactic map is located within the Grand Library, as is several holocrons, holobooks,
and records of the Brotherhood. Though currently restricted to Dux, Consul, and Dark Council at the
moment, the Sadow Campus is also the home of all Clan and Hetaeria studies.

=== Eos : Vader Campus ===

The Vader campus is named after Darth Vader, former Executor and Dark Lord of the Sith. It is the main office of all Sith studies in the Dark Brotherhood. It is the second smallest of the campuses as it only houses the main offices and a few classrooms. The only special attraction of the Vader Campus
is the Warrior's Pits, which is the Sith's version of the Chaos Pools. These pits are designed to resist more intense blasts, and are equipped with a rotating weapon arsonal inside. There are five Warrior's Pits all together though some are restricted to Equites or higher. The Vader Campus is only a small portion of the entire Sith Studies Campus, the larger portion is focused on flight studies.

=== SSD Avenger : Sidius Campus ===

Located aboard the SSD Avenger is the Sidious Campus, named after the Sith Darth Sidious. This is the mostly used Campus of the Sith. Due to it being aboard the SSD Avenger it gives students
the advantage of live combat experience. The students of this campus are housed and supported
aboard the Avenger where they are on call starfighter pilots at all times. There are several classrooms aboard the Avenger to support the Rapier Campus, along with a majority of the Pontiffs for the Sith Studies.

=== Kaiburr : Revan Campus ===

Named after the Sith Lord Darth Revan, the Revan Campus makes its home on the Obelisk world of
Kaiburr, appropriate as it is the mainstay of the Obelisk studies. The Revan campus is most likely
the largest of all the campuses due to the several war fields, battles domes, and the two massive
War Spheres. This campus also provides housing for its Pontiffs and any students. Though rarely
used, there are several classrooms for any studies outside of direct combat. The mostly used
portion of this campus are the two War Spheres which are actually an invention of the Krath. These
spheres can alter reality to any perspective needed, and can physically harm anyone inside of them.
They are used for intense training by the Obelisk, as the very gravity in side the spheres can be
intensified to bring greater stength from the training.

=== The Academy Staff ===

Originally there was only the Headmaster, then the positions of Praetor and Magistrate to the Headmaster were later added to the list of Shadow Academy Staff. These three members were the only staff for quite some time in DB
history, but around 20-22ABY the development of Pontiffs increased the number of staff greatly. Each position of the Shadow Academy has a very important role to perform, as all positions work together like a living body with organs to perform the needed tasks to keep it alive. Below you will find each of the positions and a description of what they do, what rites they carry and any other specialties they may hold.

-( Headmaster )-

The Headmaster of the Shadow Academy is the sole leader, and commander of the entire Academy along with any and all Dark Brotherhood learning establishments and campuses. The Headmaster is responsible for the training of all new Initiates to the Brotherhood, maintenance of the Shadow Academy, creation and approval of all new courses, and is the Head of Recruitment for the Dark Brotherhood. Like all Dark Council the Headmaster may also act as a diplomat for the Brotherhood if need be. Outside of these standard duties, the Headmaster also acts as a logistics officer for the Brotherhood by keeping records at the Shadow Academy. The Headmaster is also an authorized member of the Fleet Training Office, working as an assistant to the Fleet Training Officer to better education and training as a whole for the entire Fleet.

The primary home of the Headmaster is at the Dark Hall on Eos where the main the main office of the Headmaster is located, along with a personal section of the Dark Hall for the Headmaster's personal use. Despite this, the Headmaster has an office and housing at every branch of the Shadow Academy. The position is recognized as the fourth seat of the Dark Council, thus the position is one of respectable responsibility and power within the entire Brotherhood.

-( Praetor to the Headmaster )-

'''Aurora Prime''' is the capital of the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet. It has one moon, [[Eos]], which houses the [[Secret Order]].

Aurora Prime is home to [[New Imperial City]], Aurora Prime's capital, which is the major population center on Aurora Prime and the seat of the Emperor's Hammer. The planet also houses the Fleet Commander's private palace located on the outskirts of New Imperial City. In orbit around Aurora Prime is [[Clan Alvaak]]'s housing: the Torpedo Sphere ''[[Empress Teta]]''.

==Geography==

<div class="center">[[Image:Aurora_Prime_Map.png|500px]]</div>

Aurora Prime is divided into four continents: Munos (northern), Lasthana (southern), Kalona (eastern), and New Laconica in the west, on the shores of which New Imperial City is situated. The majority of the world was covered by lush vegetation and small population centers that seemed to blend in to the landscape when the Emperor's Hammer arrived on the planet. Since the initial colonization of Aurora Prime the planet has slowly evolved into a technological center worthy of an interplanetary capital.

The northern continent of Munos sits over the northern magnetic pole, a flat and stony continent bereft of notable features or significant elevations. The landmass has, however, been extensively surveyed and the mineral resources beneath its icy skin have been mined since the first Imperial settlers on the planet. The military shipyards of the Emperor's Hammer all utilize metals extracted from the icy northern continent, whilst the coastal areas of the continent have proven as bountiful in maritime farming industry.

Lashtana, sitting over the southern magnetic pole, is very similar to Munos, albeit significantly smaller. The harsher climate of the southern continent has rendered it largely uninhabited, whilst the scarcity of mineral resources has left it largely unsettled. It is, however, a favored test site by the Imperial military, the harsh environment often used to train the Hammer's ground forces or even as weapons testing sites.

Kalona's massive landmass sits just above the northern tropic, a temperate landscape of rolling hills and stony uplands, split by wide glacial valleys and their steep sides forested, their level floors rich in alluvial deposits and minerals, well irrigated by the rivers flowing and cascading from the towering uplands. Imperial settlement has increased agricultural yields by over 800%, whilst forestry and even luxury industry has benefited from Imperial administration of, and demand for, the abundant natural resources.

Sitting astride the equatorial belt and the southern tropic, New Laconica's climate is warmer and more tropical, the temperate Kalonan forests replaced by sweltering swathes of jungle and rainforest, a major contributing factor to the advanced knowledge and skills of Auroran biochemists, a plentiful source of unique compounds and organisms the benefits of which continue to amaze Imperial scientists. The climate in certain areas may even prove suitable for supporting, in time, a variant of a synthetic bacta strain that would be of incalculable benefit to the Emperor's Hammer. The coastal areas of the continent are the most suitable for settlement, although the established infrastructure has made even the thickest jungle accessible. Numerous cities dot the coastal and inland area, whilst dozens of towns sit within the inner jungles. Whilst a number of smaller islands litter the wide Auroran oceans, the majority of the population and industry is centered on the continental landmasses.

==Cities, Structures, and Demographics==

===New Imperial City and the Imperial Capitol===

New Imperial City is the highlight of Aurora Prime and a testament to the return of the Imperial New Order to the Outer Rim Territories. Located on the North East Coast of New Laconica, the Capital is home to the headquarters of many of the Emperor's Hammer's public and private institutions. The civilian government ([[Directorate]]) maintains its own headquarters in the Imperial Capitol in central New Imperial City. The Grand Moff and their Ministry Council maintain private offices within the Capitol from which they oversee the day-to-day rule of the many citizens of the Emperor's Hammer territories.

New Imperial City stands on the site of the original Auroran capital, although little trace of the original settlement can now be seen. New Imperial City is based upon the architecture of Imperial Center on Coruscant. Several of the Emperor's lower level Imperial architects were rescued from Rebellion-controlled space to design the city's edifices. Thanks in no small part to the use of highly advanced construction droids and abundant natural resources the city has continued to grow and expand. From its humble roots any visitor could well be mistaken for thinking himself to be within the government district of Coruscant itself. The skyline is dominated by slender towers, gleaming skyscrapers of transparisteel and adamantium, these high-rise offices and accommodations in turn giving way to ordered suburbs and parks, all following the ordered and established patterns. Whilst an obvious symbol of Imperial rule and occupation there is a significant native population within the city, bringing with them their own cultural and stylistic contributions to the private architecture. In addition, millions of support personnel have moved into the city which has not only boosted the local economy, but also provided the funding for construction of several permanent Imperial Garrison facilities, new libraries, eateries, theaters, coliseums, plazas, corporate centers and COMPNOR education centers.

The Fleet Commander's Palace is also located on the continent of New Laconica, tucked into the jungles on the outskirts of New Imperial City. It is one of the most heavily guarded structures on the planet. The untamed, mountainous jungle environs of New Laconica not only provide the Fleet Commander with a beautiful setting for their much needed vacations from the burdens of fleet command, but also provide an excellent, natural seclusion for the Palace. The Jungles are exploding with various and wondrous varieties of native life but are not inhabited by any particularly aggressive flora or fauna. Originally built for Grand Admiral [[Ronin]], subsequent Fleet Commanders now utilize the Palace during their rule. The exact details of the Palace are known only to select guests of the Fleet Commander and a painful death is said to await all foolish enough to trespass on the Palace's grounds.

Other key facilities and institutions within New Imperial City include:

* [[High Court of Inquisitors]]
* [[Imperial University]]
* The Fleet Commander's Palace
* Great Hall of [[Clan Alvaak]]
* Directorate Command Complex
* Office of the Planetary Governor of Aurora Prime

===Other Regions===

The other cities on Aurora Prime are beginning to follow in the mold set by the capital as the osmotic exchange of culture and personnel continues, far greater numbers of the population assimilating the Imperial ideal as the Hammer's citizens continue to expand across the planet. The aesthetically pleasing and environmentally neutral cities of Aurora are a refreshing change to a population more accustomed to the Coruscanti smogs of century-old pollution, or the cluttered and dismal slums of Nar Shadaa. Whilst the larger urban settlements have embraced the Imperial occupation, the outlying settlements will no doubt take a little longer to fully absorb Imperial culture.

The verdant jungles of Aurora give way to stony highlands and sweeping golden beaches, the plentiful environs guaranteeing a growing industry and plentiful mineral and organic resources. The more temperate lowlands of Kalona have proved extremely susceptible to large-scale farming initiatives, whilst the mining efforts in the Larasi mountains of New Laconica have continued to yield significant levels of mineral wealth. The profit the Auroran people have gained from these Imperial-led initiatives has no doubt aided and accelerated the assimilation process of the two cultures. Suffice to say Aurora Prime continues to grow and expand, managing to support many of its own demands without recourse to imports, whilst adding to its own wealth in quantities enough to acquire any materials it could not mine or harvest from its own surface.

With the reorganization of the training academies under a common structure, the [[Imperial University]] was established within New Imperial City. The Imperial University has become the preeminent organization for education of Emperor's Hammer personnel within both the military and civil segments.

The Directorate Governor's Academy (DGA) maintains its facilities on Aurora Prime. Located several blocks from the Imperial Capitol, the DGA Campus is one of the finest academic institutes for politicians in Imperial History. Courses ranging from governing basics to governor military control are offered in the state of the art facility for those worthy enough to gain admission.

The [[Shadow Academy]] of the Secret Order also maintains its own training facilities deep within the jungles of Aurora overseen by the Headmaster.

==Planetary Politics==
As the Imperial Capital, Aurora Prime is neither run by a Governor General as are the other planets of the Emperor's Hammer Territories, nor divided into four provinces. The Grand Moff of the Emperor's Hammer Territories also holds the title of (Grand) Duke of Aurora and it is the Grand Moff who is the official leader of Aurora Prime. Due to the heavy work load of the Grand Moff in maintaining the government of the Territories at large, the Deputy Grand Moff or another appointed individual (usually bearing the title Lord of New Laconica) often oversees the day-to-day operations of the planetary government.

The planetary government is sub-divided into numerous offices and departments, as with most conventional governmental structures. A mix of native Auroran and Imperial civil servants and aristocrats sit on the various governmental levels, from local ruling commissions up to the planetary senate, a body of several hundred responsible for planetary rule, but subject to the Grand Moff and his Deputy. The administrative center of the Emperor's Hammer, New Imperial City, acts therefore in a dual role of planetary and territorial capital, the focus of the bureaucratic services in a single expansive location ensuring an efficient and purposeful rule.

==Economy==
Though it has become a planet of great impressiveness and luxury since the arrival of Imperial troops, Aurora Prime is still a very agricultural planet. The improvements the Empire has made to the the farming techniques in Kalona, an area which remains mostly farmland, have made Aurora a planet capable of sustaining its own population, as well as those of nearby star systems, with its many cereal grains, exotic fruits, and other staples of the standard Imperial diet. The pharmaceutical products manufactured by the biochemists of the Kolonan continent are regarded as the finest produced within the Territories, and have made life-sustaining drugs one of Aurora Prime's chief exports.

The peoples of Aurora Prime were using orbital manufacturing facilities as their primary source of industry since the tribes had banded together to preserve the forests and plant life that were being destroyed by pollution. Rather than risk the plants that are so vital to the Empire's medicinal market, the orbital facilities continue to be used, and dozens of new corporations have placed facilities in orbit over the planet. Aurora's primary import has become industrial good and materials from these privately owned platforms which, with the support of the Imperial Military, have become the most prosperous privately owned organizations within the Hammer.

While Aurora has many of the natural resources needed for an intergalactic capital, at the beginning of the Imperial occupation, demand for luxury goods was far greater than supply. Because of this many of the luxury goods enjoyed by the upper class were imported from other worlds. The Native Aurorans have since proven themselves to be excellent crafts, and regularly import high quality woods from Ashtar, crystal formations from Kaiburr, and precious metals from Cinad, and craft them into magnificent works of art. Unfortunately, the Aurorans are not able to keep up with the demand across the galaxy, and many of their beautiful creations are enjoyed only on Aurora itself.

A mix of native Auroran and Imperial civil servants and aristocrats sit on the various governmental levels, from local ruling commissions up to the planetary senate, a body of several hundred responsible for planetary rule, but subject to the Grand Moff and his Deputy. The administrative center of the Emperor's Hammer, New Imperial City, acts therefore in a dual role of planetary and territorial capital, the focus of the bureaucratic services in a single expansive location ensuring an efficient and purposeful rule.

==Economy==
Though it has become a planet of great impressiveness and luxury since the arrival of Imperial troops, Aurora Prime is still a very agricultural planet. The improvements the Empire has made to the the farming techniques in Kalona, an area which remains mostly farmland, have made Aurora a planet capable of sustaining its own population, as well as those of nearby star systems, with its many cereal grains, exotic fruits, and other staples of the standard Imperial diet. The pharmaceutical products manufactured by the biochemists of the Kolonan continent are regarded as the finest produced within the Territories, and have made life-sustaining drugs one of Aurora Prime's chief exports.

The peoples of Aurora Prime were using orbital manufacturing facilities as their primary source of industry since the tribes had banded together to preserve the forests and plant life that were being destroyed by pollution. Rather than risk the plants that are so vital to the Empire's medicinal market, the orbital facilities continue to be used, and dozens of new corporations have placed facilities in orbit over the planet. Aurora's primary import has become industrial good and materials from these privately owned platforms which, with the support of the Imperial Military, have become the most prosperous privately owned organizations within the Hammer.

While Aurora has many of the natural resources needed for an intergalactic capital, at the beginning of the Imperial occupation, demand for luxury goods was far greater than supply. Because of this many of the luxury goods enjoyed by the upper class were imported from other worlds. The Native Aurorans have since proven themselves to be excellent crafts, and regularly import high quality woods from Ashtar, crystal formations from Kaiburr, and precious metals from Cinad, and craft them into magnificent works of art. Unfortunately, the Aurorans are not able to keep up with the demand across the galaxy, and many of their beautiful creations are enjoyed only on Aurora itself.

'''Carrida II''' is the second plant in the [[Carrida System]]. It is home to the elite [[Carrida Stormtrooper Military Academy]]. It has one moon, Gerran which is used for training Stormtroopers to handle near Zero-Gravity combat in the vacuum of space.
{{Imperial University Course}}

==Geography==
Carrida II orbits its star on a elliptical pattern with a fairly extreme axial tilt. This combination has caused Carrida II to have a mostly barren surface full of deserts and mountain ranges, however, around the equatorial regions of the planet, dense jungles exist. The temperature varies greatly depending on the point in orbit for the planet.

Average temperatures can reach 30°C during the day, and can plummet to over -50°C at night. The north receives huge amounts of precipitation, while the south receives about 10 millimeters in a whole year, making two ideal training locations for Snowtroopers. The equatorial regions of the planet consist of either scorched desert or tropical regions near the coast, with two training facilities, one in each climate. There are also vast oceans that stretch from pole to pole, and water temperatures can range from -2°C to 35°C.

==Cities, Structures, and Demographics==
There are no cities on Carrida II, but instead, the planet is home to many training complexes, the most well renowned being the elite [[Carrida Stormtrooper Military Academy]]. The Academy was originally designed as an emergency shelter for passing Imperial officers. Construction was started during the Galactic Civil War but was ultimately abandoned after the Empire suffered heavy losses following the Battle of Endor. The New Republic discovered the facility and renewed construction of the complex as part of its Eclipse-Class Star Destroyer program.

The system is not on any star chart, and was only discovered by the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[Reconnaissance Officer|Reconnaissance Office]] because of a navigation computer error. [[Doomsday|Fleet Admiral Doomsday]], the [[Reconnaissance Officer]] at the time, discovered the New Republic's operation and managed to route the opposing force, allowing the [[Emperor's Hammer]] to take control of the facility and convert it into the Military Academy as it is known today. Now it is home to the [[Hammer's Fist]] central command facility. Carrida II's diverse range of climates provide an excellent variety of environments that are ideal for Stormtrooper Training.

The [[Carrida Stormtrooper Military Academy]] has now become one of the [[Emperor's Hammer]] primary training centers not only for new Stormtroopers but also for various courses for Imperial Navy and Army personnel as well.

In addition to the Military Academy, two Aquatrooper training facilities are found on the planet. The temperate regions between the Poles and Equator are covered in dense, thick forest, with the exception of the main training facility, and the huge 50 km square mock city for urban combat training where Scout Troopers receive additional training.

Gerran, Carrida II's only moon, has no atmosphere. Upon its surface is the central command center and Training facilities of the Hammer's Fist Zero-G Stormtroopers.

Finally, the [[Hammer's Fist]] constructed a platform, PLT [[Deceleration]], to serve as an outpost within the [[Carrida System]]

==Economy==
The planet itself is extremely rich in natural resources and mining operations have been under way for some time. There are many manufacturing and processing plants located on the surface. Only half of them are currently in use, and the others are planned to be converted for use by the various corporations within the [[Emperor's Hammer]].

The primary export of Carrida II are well trained elite Stormtroopers.

'''Ashtar''' is a jungle world beyond compare. It was the private abode of the High Inquisitor, who had built an exact replica of the his family's original castle on the island which is located in the middle of the inland sea. Vicious animals ranging in size from microscopic to immense (200+ Feet Tall) have been found deep in the natural vegetation of this world. Night and day they kill each other... In fact, the High Inquisitor once commented that the planet, "Was like Imperial Politics on a planetary scale." because of the constant bloodletting. Truly, this is a fitting home for a Dark Jedi.

Eventually, the call of progress visited Ashtar and settlements were created to house curious folk and entrepreneurs looking to capitalize on the natural resources of the jungle planet.
{{Imperial University Course}}

==Geography==

The dense jungle and naturally humid temperatures of Ashtar make it the perfect home for its extreme mix of vicious predators. Much of the surface consists of a spit between deep oceans and thick dark vegetation. The forests on the surface creature a magnificent canopy, reaching one hundred-fifty (150) meters in places, which keeps the active jungle below in darkness and thick humid heat.

The oceans surrounding the jungles are deep and beautifully blue, however deadly. The largest of these oceans is known as the Sea of Tranquility. The first settlers of Ashtar found calm waters and beautiful beaches greeting them when they reached the coast. The first fishing boat sent out a month later never returned, and rescue parties reported what had happened to craft that ventured too close to strange dark spots in the water and the fates of divers sent to investigate the depths of the oceans. Since that time the people of Ashtar have learned to both fear and respect the creatures of the deep.

Ashtar's native inhabitants range from cannibalistic bacteria to gigantic predators and even carnivorous plant life. Despite such dangers, the planet is regarded as one of the most beautiful planets within the territories of the Emperor's Hammer. Because of this, the forests on many parts of the planet are yielding to the relentless assault of loggers, funded by the New Imperial City, clearing space for the construction of more cities on the planet. The operation is a complex one, as space for the the thousands of citizens flocking to the planet each year must be made, but the beautiful and deadly forests must be preserved to maintain the economy of the planet.

Approximately two-thirds of the surface is covered by deep waters, sloping steeply to wide continental shelves. The range of species inhabiting the shallower waters is staggering, whilst the very fact that deep water species are continually being discovered should act as an indicator of the potential of the world and its priceless ecosystem. Geologically very stable the six continental landmasses tend to be generally large and flat, hilly uplands the most common inland feature, protruding, at least in part, from the dense forest canopy.

==Cities, Structures, and Demographics==

Ashtar's Capital City of Sheran is located on the shores of the Sea of Tranquility and is, by galactic standards, a relatively minor affair, boasting a population of a little over 400,000. Sheran, however, perfectly represents the typical city structure on Ashtar, a bastion-city whose central spires house the citizen body, protected from the hazards of the exterior by a wide curtain wall - as much to keep citizens in, for their own safety, as to keep the worst of the flora and fauna out.

Each continent is subdivided into numerous provinces, each province centered on a single bastion-city. The well protected provincial capitals ensure reliable logistical supply by providing secured landing facilities for the transport of any necessary materials. Dozens of smaller settlements dot each province, but all roads lead back to the bastion, and it is only through the bastion that inhabitants can reach other provinces and bastion-cities - this isn't a draconian security measure but a physical necessity, any serious attempt at creating land-transport links longer than the distances between towns have always failed, the voracious growth of the forests quickly overwhelming man made constructs.

The satellite towns and settlements reflect the bastion to which they are connected, looking to it for protection and guidance. This self-reliant nature and natural requirement for localized leadership has resulted in a strong aristocratic tradition on Ashtar, the bastion's each dominated by a single noble house responsible for the welfare of its province's inhabitants and its defense. Whilst of course the Imperial elements in the capital exercise overall authority, it is through the aegis of the local lords - its is a near certainty that every Ashtarian's loyalties lie first to their lords, and only second to the Emperor's Hammer. However in light of their continuing contentment and loyalty the difference can be ignored.

The coastal bastions tend to be larger than their inland fellows, benefiting from far more manageable and open swathes of land and capable of extending into the shallows of the seas, ideal bases for the booming fishing industry, the fruits of which labor can be found in any world across the sector.

==Economy==

As a heavily forested world, Ashtar's primary export is, logically, lumber. Ashtarian wood is of a particularly renowned high quality, the hardwoods prized among the furniture industry, among others, including such lucrative export markets as the luxury starship trade. The lumber industry accounts for ninety percent (90%) of the planet's gross income, with millions of tonnes of timber shipped on an annual basis, a tiny fraction of Ashtar's forests nevertheless replaced within months due to the rapid growth cycles of the native trees. The Ashtan Fir's light wood is prized across the sub-sector for its rich, honeyed color, particularly favorable as a paneling material. The Tarean Blackleaf, with its dark foliage and silver bark, serves a dual purpose, its light wood flexible but tensile, used heavily in the construction industry in place of more modern materials, whilst the bark is imbibed in the local spirit as an anti-pyretic analgesic, keeping the worst effects of the often sweltering heat at bay.

Ashtar is not a highly developed world, but has little need of high-technology. The logging camps and seeding lodges are fulfilling a basic function without the requirement of advanced tools or droids etc, perfectly efficient as they are. The logistical organization of their industrial process is near flawless, each camp feeding their produce back to the bastion, from which it is either moved between bastions, stockpiled, or transported off world after basic dressing in the bastion's sawmills. The gentle whine of spinning saw blades and the smell of freshly cut timber is an ever present component of the Ashtarian lifestyle, a lifestyle of contentment, working in unison with the fragile ecosystem.

Like any population Ashtar relies on imports for those materials it doesn't already possess, luxury items in particular. Certain foods are largely imported, though the agricultural industry is beginning to expand beyond the plentiful seas, the booming fishing industry producing a massive surplus, much of which is shipped off world to bolster the agricultures of more developed, heavily populated worlds.. Luxury goods, manufactured goods, and other processed materials are imported, funded by the profitable trades in timber and the planet's other natural products. The taming of the planet's flora and fauna took a toll on the original Imperial settlers, but has, in time, proved to be of great value - the biochemical properties of several plants proving extremely interesting to Imperial scientists, particularly those of the more dangerous flora. The Hammer's Intelligence division utilises a number of compounds originating from Ashtar, such as Tresamorphine, a drug opening the mind of a suspect to easy manipulation and interrogation, or Khalan Lotus, a nerve toxin fatal within nanoseconds of it entering the blood stream of a target and conveniently difficult to spot in an autopsy.

The value placed on these natural weapons has led to the emergence of a small but flourishing smuggling cell on Ashtar, private individuals attempting to simply land away from a bastion and do their own spot of harvesting. Whilst this is hugely profitable and often sponsored by major criminal syndicates, the risks are equally huge. Of dozens of unofficial camps in the deep forests some 80% will be destroyed or overcome by one of the countless natural threats. The most recent story to appear in the local media recalls the death of 45 illegal farmers after their compound was covered in Maecan Spores, a seemingly innocuous event resulting in innocent flu-like symptoms a day before they all died of massive brain hemorrhages, their spinal cords devoured and broken down by a viral agent for food.

Considering the dangers inherent in inhabiting the planet it is perhaps a little odd that, despite its admittedly outstanding beauty, such a significant number of citizens continue to flock to the coastal bastions to enjoy the unbroken miles of golden beaches and the excursions into the least vicious stretches of forest. Although a minor component of the economic picture it nonetheless offers a different aspect to a very specialized world. It is with this consideration of the natural beauty in mind that much of the 'heavy' industry on Ashtar is limited to the orbiting processing stations and storage yards.

'''Lantare I''' is the only planet in the [[Lantare System]]. It was previously colonized by the Galactic Empire, but after the fall of Emperor Palpatine, the colony was left to its own devices and devolved into small feudal tribes.
{{Imperial University Course}}

==Geography==
Lantare I is a hot and dry planet in the [[Lantare System]]. It's proximity to its sun has caused much of its surface water to evaporate, leaving a barren landscape that is fairly inhospitable to human life. Although there was little free water on the surface, billions of cubic meters of free water were suspected to have been trapped in the subsurface of this geologically active planet. The atmosphere, as it has developed, requires inhabitants to wear breathing masks. The arid atmosphere and lack of a hydrosphere, have lead to dust storms that threaten areas that do not have adequate protection. Lantare I has three moons, Ulyxx, Heenst, and Hiot.

==Cities, Structures, and Demographics==
Jaggerbund is the largest colony on the planet. It has the planet's only usable starport. There are other, smaller colonies, that are peppered across the planet. Each colony is ran by a feudal lord.

To date, the [[Emperor's Hammer]] has set up two Imperial Garrisons, adjacent to the one starport in Jaggerbund. However, it is suspected the New Republic now know of this system and may make attacks to gain a foothold in the [[Minos Cluster]]. Being the least desirable of the Minos Systems, [[Lantare System|Lantare]] is also the least defended.

Visitors are cautioned to avoid the local fauna. The lifeforms, and even some of the more rural colonists, have been found to be extremely aggressive and violent. All attempts to penetrate, hold and/or garrison the interior portions of the equatorial regions have been met with limited success. Various reptilian, insect and mammalian species can be found in these hinterlands.

==Economy==
Imports to the planet now include almost any foodstuffs, medicines or technology as the colonial settlements begin to return to an Imperial technological level. The only significant exports of this planet are a local variety of Spice known as targa and some minor mineral and metals refineries that have sprung up in the last several weeks. Although targa is grown and refined locally in secret plants, it is a genetic strain of the real Spice (found on Kessel) and almost as addictive. A large portion of the colonial population is addicted to this drug which produces a profound and long-lasting euphoria without too many undesirable side effects.

==History==

Life on Lantare has been extraordinarily difficult for the abandoned colonists on Lantare I since the Empire left some 24 years ago. When the Imperial colonists from the Core Worlds first entered the [[Minos Cluster]], Lantare was selected as a possible colonization planet by the Imperial Survey Corps. The initial Imperial plan was to terraform the entire planet and make it a new, lush home for the colonists. With a higher than normal gravity and several dozen well protected valleys and windfalls from the harsh Lantare windstorms, this planet was more than suitable for Imperial terraforming. In fact, some lifeforms were even imported from other desert worlds, such as {{SW_Wiki|Bantha|Banthas}} from {{SW_Wiki|Tatooine}}, to round out the sparse local ecology. Unfortunately for the Lantare colonists who came so willingly to this world, the Empire simply shifted its priorities some two to three decades ago, as the Empire often does. As such, the [[Lantare System]] was no longer desirable for human colonization and the colonists began to leave. For those that remained (some 20%-30%), life was harsh but they were free from all Imperial and Republic influences. Some have found this desirable to a life of comfort on an Imperial or Rebellion Core World.

For the past 24 Imperial Standard years, the citizens of Lantare I have been hard at work trying to make a basic subsistence living. Moisture farming and other water conservation measures as well as some larger scale cooperative drilling projects have yielded some promising results. However, water is still the most valuable commodity on Lantare I and is never wasted. In fact, in some outback portions of the equatorial regions, wasting or spilling of water is considered a capital offense.

Lantare's colonists, although fiercely independent, are still not quite sure what to make of the new Imperial presence planetside. Local leaders of the various feudal governments are typically selected simply based on physical strength or local political influence. As such, their suspicions and skepticisms bare little meaning However, the planetary ruler, known locally as the "Commandant" (an obvious holdover from the old colonial days), is selected in a brutally efficient ceremony. The Rite of Rulership (or 'Rite of Rule') is simply a fight to the death between an incumbent Commandant and his/her challenger. These combats can be held at any time and there have been recent years where dozens of Commandants were chosen by rite within one local year. The current Commandant, Shrrinn Kruaan, is a savage Bothan native with an equally savage temperament. It is said he tore the limbs off the last challenger who faced him in the Jaggerbund Arena...The Empire has recently named him a wanted creature. The Bounty Hunters have reportedly been searching planetside for weeks without any tangible clues to his whereabouts. He is rumored to rule Lantare from a hidden palace within the largest colony, Jaggerbund.

'''Loki''' is a planetary body of the [[Phare System]]. It is the furthest planet out from Odin, the system's sun.
{{Imperial University Course}}

==Description==
Loki is a cold, lifeless frozen ball of methane and other gases. There is no significant atmosphere or hydrosphere. All liquids have been frozen solid as the temperature hovers near absolute zero. The planet houses a massive military complex that rivals garrisons on most industrialized worlds. Further details on Loki and its forces remains classified. However, the Emperor's Hammer recovered the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Relentless_%28Disra%29 ISD Relentless] from this installation.

==Cities, Structures, and Demographics==
Loki's one moon, Hodr, houses several listening posts and training facilities with total Imperial Intelligence personnel planetside numbering between 5,000 to 20,000 on any given day. These listening posts keep an ever vigilant eye on the outer reaches of the [[Emperor's Hammer]] Territories with the most sophisticated network of satellites and communications gear the Empire has to offer. In addition, hundreds of Intel Agents induced with mind-focusing drugs, comm enhancing drugs and stimulants, watch their probe monitors in conjunction with thousands of probe droids across the Outer Rim.

==Economy==
Loki has no economy outside of what the military requires to maintain intelligence operations.

'''Thor''' is the second planet in the Phare system. It's a frigid planet and only has one native species, Grenfels.
{{Imperial University Course}}

==Geography==

Thor is much like [[Ghenna]] in that it is an extremely frigid world, little more than an icy rock lashed by arctic climates, fierce storms scouring the surface in fronts hundreds of kilometers wide. The planet is largely unexplored due to the particularly turbulent atmosphere, the extreme weather patterns disrupting even starship sensors, whilst all attempts made to utilize probes have ended in failure - the fragile constructs incapable of surviving for long in the extreme conditions. Imperials have found no natural resources on the planet to date, despite the hope that the crust may contain pockets of ore deposits.

==Cities, Structures, and Demographics==

The only official documentation known to exist is a study of the native Grenfels, a humanoid alien species whose very existence on the barren rock is a mystery, who seem to have adapted to the planet's harsh environment by surviving the worst conditions in deep caves where the warmth of the crust has allowed basic life to develop. Published by a relatively unknown scientist, an Auroran professor of anthropology by the name of Searl Darwaen, it is theorized that the Grenfels, a squat, shaggy furred race, evolved from a lifeform not native to the system, seeded there in the depths of history . It is believed that the Grenfels are a nomadic people, often appearing to follow variations in the crust of the planet, moving from cave to cave, invariably in areas where depth and geothermal heat combine to make a barely inhabitable environment and the ubiquitous bacterial lifeforms flourish. These migrations involve family groups moving rapidly across the icy surface in short journeys, the weather and climate often taking a heavy toll before they settle again.

==Economy==

The world has often been used by criminal elements for clandestine meetings, relying on the inability to scan the planet or its immediate area. In the past Imperial vessels have encountered numerous private vessels attempting to conceal themselves in high orbit, whilst it is believed that Thor may well be a key component of the smuggling routes throughout the sub-sector. Regardless of the truth of this the navy maintains a heavy patrol within the system at all times.

==Additions by Directorate==

The Directorate is a group inside of the Emperor's Hammer that controls and runs the systems and worlds in the Hammer's sectors. They have the authority to apply changes to it that are deemed fit by the Grand Moff.

===Taranis, a new city===
Under the reign of Grand Moff Farrin Xies, and Governor General Samuel Rajax a new underground city was built on Thor. The city was named Taranis which is a Celtic god of thunder closely related to the Norse god of thunder Thor. Lieutenant Governor to Samuel Rajax, Myn Donos chose the name and Rajax seen it fit. The city if an average city for Thor, aside from it being a normal temperature like on other planets, this is due to the geothermal heat of the planet. It also has it's own militia that work in the Rajax Manor, a large building built just for Sam Rajax and his family members. Despite the fact that they were hired only to guard and work as a makeshift army for Rajax, they protect the city and all of it's citizens. There is also a Grenfel housing station to protect the species from poachers and pirates that live on the planets surface.

'''Njord''' is a lifeless planet in the fifth orbit of Odin with its two moons, Tyr and Heimdall. Njord is known for its abundance of Tibanna gas.
{{Imperial University Course}}

==Description==
The surface and atmospheric conditions on Njord make life impossible planetside. Even on the frozen ammonia seas, the turbulent violent nature of the Njordan atmosphere in which one of the feared Methane Cyclones can develop and sweep across half the planet in 2 hours, effectively preventing even the existence of domed cities. The intense gravity on Njord also makes unprotected existence impossible. Consequently, there is no life on the planet of Njord. Only the mining crews from the orbiting moon of Heimdall ever set foot planetside and then only for brief, nerve-wracking workshifts. Thousands of miners die every year mining Tibanna gasses from the planetary surface. But because of the immense profits they might make, hundreds of miners continue to volunteer for the duty every day.

Heimdall is a barren satellite with no atmosphere of its own. It is only by using five prefabricated structures that over a million people are able to live on the moon. The moon is inhabited almost solely because of the Tibanna Gas on Njord. The "cities" of Heimdall process much of the gas and refine it for use in blasters. The moon also serves as a hub for freighters traveling in and out of the system.

Tyr is a small (2,000 km) geologically unstable moon of Njord. Its surface is intensely scarred with by craters from meteor impacts from the Frey Asteroid Belt. Its surface is also marked with many hydrogen volcanoes, perhaps the most fantastic and deadly sight in the [[Phare System]]. When the temperature of trapped hydrogen beneath the frozen Ammonia and Helium seas becomes too high as it rises to the moon's surface, there is a massive fiery eruption as the hydrogen escapes and ignites under its own kinetic energy. The result looks like a ball of flame rising from the planetoid.

==Cities, Structures, and Demographics==
Civilization on the barren, lifeless Heimdall is confined to one large, sprawling Spaceport/Mining City named Valhalla. This city is a marvel of modern engineering, a permanent city over 6 kms in diameter is completely and securely anchored into the underlying frozen methane seas. The city is completely self contained with impressive, state-of-the-art recirculation systems and self-contained hydroponics, technical, economic and living sections. Emergency repulsorlift generators have been placed throughout the support structure in case of increased geologic activity. The Tibanna gas collection, precipitation and refining plants of Valhalla are constantly running. Approximately 500,000 human (Imperial) colonists, gas miners, technicians, guildsmen, administrators, etc. inhabit Valhalla.

==Economy==
Njord would have been ignored if not for the abundance of Tibanna gas which is mined to keep the Imperial war machine of the [[Emperor's Hammer]] Strike Fleet operating efficiently. Tibanna gas is an extremely rare gas that is used primarily as a hyperdrive coolant and blaster/ion enhancer. When the gas is spin-sealed and frozen in carbonite, it is converted into a simple form that can be readily transported to where needed. The quality of the Tibanna gas on Bespin is legendary but has been tapped primarily by the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/New_Republic New Republic] after the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Endor Battle of Endor]. However, the Emperor's Hammer is fortunate that the Tibanna gas is both abundant and also naturally spin-sealed by the chaotic and intense atmospheric pressures of Njord. Several corporate mining crews will sortie from Heimdall each day to perform the highly dangerous, but necessary and highly profitable collection operations.

Several mining corporations have attempted to consolidate the hundreds of claims and stakes on the planet of Njord. But so far to no avail. There is too much money to be made. The mining operations are independently owned by various small corporations, families and even individuals. However, even this apparent organizational chaos is working remarkably well since the amount of military-grade Tibanna Ion and Blaster gases exported from Njord is at record levels.

Welcome to the Secret Order! This page includes quick links and good reference information intended to help get you started on your journey to power!

In the meantime, let's see if we can cover any of our immediate questions here in this quick start guide!

==Where to Start==

Now that you're a member of the Secret Order, the best thing to do is to start being active! But what does that mean, exactly?

For creative minds that enjoy stories, the Emperor's Hammer allows members to participate in a great deal of events related to writing fan-fiction:

* Short-stories
* Poetry
* Run-on stories on the Discord server

===== Trivia =====

Your Star Wars and EH knowledge will be measured in these events, which can be administered via e-mail, Discord, or the timed test functionality integrated into the web site.

===== Wiki Editing =====

Help expand the content within the Encyclopaedia Imperia Wiki by creating new content to build out the history and background of your character or exploits of your unit.

===== Webpage Design/Creation =====

Certain events, competitions, units, and other activities can benefit from custom webpages. Webpages creation is a good way to get noticed and promote your own fighting unit.

===== Graphics and other Artistic Endeavors =====

Creating original EH-oriented graphics is a great way to contribute to the Fleet. It does not matter if you think you are the worst artist in the world, there is never enough graphic art in the EH.

===== Newsletters =====

The Emperor's Hammer publishes the Dark Sentinel. This newsletter covers the entire EH and accepts contributions from all corners of the club. Give your work a broader audience. Be creative!

==== Events ====

===== Operations and Competitions =====

All of the activities listed above can be done as an individual effort at any time. You don't wait for some "official" event to come along to be active! When official events do come along, it is always a big event. Official events fall into two categories:
Operations and Competitions.

Operations are the Big Events. They are always Subgroup-wide and frequently have many different activities to encourage everyone to participate. Because they are so complex, they involve many man-hours of preparation and do not occur more than once every few months.

Competitions are more local events. They are usually at the unit level or below, pitting unit against unit at various echelons (Squadron, Ship, etc.). Intra-unit competitions can settle who is the best flight in a squadron or squad in a platoon. Competitions may be run by any member, and only require approval at the Subgroup Command level.

== Structure ==

[[File:Eh-org-chart-20230819.png|1000px]]

The Emperor's Hammer (formally the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet) is comprised of a senior governing body (the Command Staff) and several [[subgroup]]s representing various elements of the Emperor's Hammer military, paramilitary, intelligence, and governmental structures.

=== Command Staff ===

The Emperor's Hammer Command Staff (EHCS, alternatively EH CS) comprise the upper levels of command in the Emperor's Hammer.

The Command Staff Officers and Command Staff Support Officers are the primary people in charge of various activities in the Emperor's Hammer. They are supported by '''Command Attache''' to each Command Staff Officer as well as the '''Imperial Advisors'''. Each position and office is vital to the success and day to day function of the fleet. The Command Staff was formerly divided into two sections: the Command Staff and Support Staff. Now the Command Staff operates as one unit, with all support officers operating under their primary office.

The responsibilities of each Command Staff position include:

* Independently overseeing and maintaining their various areas of duty.
* Submitting reports as needed.
* Appointing a Command Attachés and Command Assistants, when needed.
* Promoting their Command Attaché and Command Assistants, and awarding medals for duties rendered.
* Awarding and/or recommending medals and commendations to the membership for achievements.
* Reviewing comments, answering questions, etc. from the Emperor' Hammer membership.
* Forwarding important news to relevant parties.
* Being familiar with all primary reference materials including manuals and rules/regulations.
* Being familiar with all Emperor's Hammer primary web sites and communication platforms (Emperor's Hammer and subgroups, Discord, etc).
* Coordinating and/or participating in competitions (when possible).
* Attending on-line meetings (when possible).

==== Line of Succession ====

In the event that both the [[Fleet Commander]] and [[Executive Officer]] are unable to fulfill their duties, the [[Subgroup Commander]]s will have direct control of their subgroups within the oversight of the [[Board of Trustees]], until such time that the Board of Trustees may gather for an emergency session to select a new Fleet Commander. Individual Command Staff members and Subgroup Commanders will report the status of any projects to the Board of Trustees until a new Fleet Commander is appointed.

<p style="margin: 1em 0;">As the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet began to enter First Order controlled territory they were met by a First Order patrol. The First Order seemed to be guarding a central fueling depot with several patrols that navigate the surrounding area.</p>

<p style="margin: 1em 0;">The Gasriese System is home to the massive gas giant, Zephyron. The First Order has stationed a fuel depot in low orbit and have been siphoning the various gases for a considerable period of time. So much so, that a massive vortex has formed while the primary suction tubes extend down to the planet. There are several moons that show signs of strip mining operations and a great deal of debris litters the space over the moons. There are no inhabited planets within the system.</p>

<p style="margin: 1em 0;">Neither side expected to encounter the other, indeed to the First Order the Emperor’s Hammer is a rogue Imperial Remnant faction, since it did not join in The Battle of Jakku and Operation Cinder.</p>

<p style="margin: 1em 0;">Likewise, only Grand Admiral Ronin knows the original orders given to the Emperor’s Hammer by the late Emperor Palpatine. Grand Admiral Rapier and Sector Admiral Kamjin “Maverick” Lap’lamiz only know what Grand Admiral Ronin has shared with them over the years.</p>

<p style="margin: 1em 0;">The First Order, in its initial communication attempted to order the Emperor’s Hammer to submit to its authority, something that the forces of the EH refused, setting the scene for Imperial Storm VII.</p>

<p style="margin: 1em 0;">The TIE Corps will therefore attempt to eliminate the First Order forces in the Gasriese System and acquire its Fuel Depot at the edge of First Order territory; the acquisition of any equipment will be a bonus. Whilst this goes on, the Sith Eternal will also attempt to contact the EH to gain an understanding of its intentions.</p>

<p style="margin: 1em 0;">Welcome to Imperial Storm VII! </p>

== Competition Guidance ==

Competitions provide and fun and exciting way for members to engage in club activities. Competitions may take place across a nearly unlimited variety of activities, including gaming, trivia, puzzles, or creative works (graphics/fiction).

Competitions can be recommended/submitted via the the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/addcompetition.php Management Panel] on your Emperor's Hammer profile. You will need to provide certain mandatory information about your proposed competition, such as start and end dates, medals/awards that can be won, and a full description of the competition and its rules. When completing the competition submission form, you should complete each field to be display-ready for members when your competition is approved. Correct spelling and grammar helps provide clarity to your competition. The competition form support [https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/ Markdown]-based formatting, enabling you to organize the information well and provide emphasis where needed.

If you are new to submitting competitions, it can be very helpful to have another experienced member, such as a [[Squadron Commander]], proofread your proposed competition prior to submission. They can also provide feedback on the rules and scoring for your competition. Reviewing existing approved competitions within the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php Competition Center] can also help a new competition runner understand what makes a good competition listing.

=== Duties of a Competition Runner ===

Competition runners (i.e., the person proposing a competition) are responsible for the competition from inception through completion. This includes:

* Recommending the competition through the web site interface.
* Making corrections to the competition listing, if necessary.
* Collecting results, scores, or other applicable performance metrics for the competition.
* Announcing mid-competition standings, if applicable (typically for longer duration competitions).
* Announcing the final competition results.
* Initiating medal recommendations for the winning members.

While running a good competition can take some time and energy, it is a great way to create a fun atmosphere within the organization and provides additional opportunities for the competition runner to be recognized for their contributions.

=== Common Errors ===

* The competition details omit information that a member will need to fully participate in the event. For example, failing to explain how the competition will be scored, how or where to submit their results, etc.
* The proposed awards for the competition are not consistent with the respective subgroup's criteria for those awards.
* Excessive spelling, grammar, or formatting errors that impact the clarity of the competition listing.

=== Competitions in the TIE Corps ===

As a rule of thumb, the TIE Corps prefers not to duplicate competitions that are already in existence at a wider level (other than trivia). For example, a squadron or battlegroup version of Ace of the TIE Corps would not be approved as it is essentially double dipping with regards to medals. We do though allow ''similar'' competitions and if you can use a different metric (e.g., Legion of Combat/Legions of Skirmish with a certain number of your own squadron present instead of a flat count of LoCs/LoSs) then it would likely be approved. If in doubt please contact the [[Warfare Officer]] for guidance.

When it comes to medals, please remember:

* Platinum [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] may only be awarded for first place in Corps-wide competitions that either last at least four months or for more complex events like Raise the Flag.
* Gold [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] are awarded for first place in battlegroup, ship, and wing competitions. They’re also awarded for Corps-level competitions that last less than a few months and to the runner-up for an IS-PW. Competitions at the Corps, battlegroup, ship, and wing levels that run for less than a month or have rounds that last less than a month should not award IS-GWs to keep them from becoming too common.
* Silver [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] are awarded for first place in squadron-level competitions that last at least one month. They’re also awarded to the runner-up for an IS-GW.
* Bronze [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] are awarded for first place in squadron-level competitions lasting less than one month or to the runner-up for an IS-SW.
* Copper [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] would never need to be a first place award, with other Iron Stars fulfilling that purpose. Any competition awarding the IS-BW or IS-BR may award an IS-CW or IS-CR to the runner-up.
* [[Operational Readiness Award]]: These should not be awarded as a simple “participate in the competition, get a medal”. The idea for the ORA is that pilots can make achievements in a competition without placing, for example completing a certain number of tasks. If in doubt please reach out to the WO for advice.

=== Examples ===
==== Poor quality submission ====
[[File:Competition-example-bad1.PNG]]
* Competition description contains irrelevant information (<cite>"I think it would be a great idea if..."</cite>).
* Competition description doesn't contain enough information to participate. For example, does the pilot have to submit their score somewhere?
* As a general rule, 'blanket' or 'placeholder' competitions where the actual activity to be performed (in this case, which battle will be flown) is unknown are not preferred except in special circumstances.
* Grammar impacts clarity of the description.
* Awards are listed in the description section (which is unnecessarily duplicative) and also does not match those listed in the awards section. If the IS-GW is being proposed, it is not supported by the TIE Corps policies for awarding the IS-GW in a squadron-level competition.

==== Good submission ====
[[File:Competition-example-good1.PNG]]
* The competition is creative and not a rehash of other common competitions.
* The competition description is robust and provides specific details to the member on how to participate and submit their results.
* The competition description uses paragraphs for clarity.
* The awards are in accordance with TIE Corps policies for the [[Iron Star]] and [[Operational Readiness Award]].

Welcome to the '''Emperor's Hammer Manual'''. The Manual acts as a central resource and reference for the entire Emperor's Hammer, covering a vast range of topics from ranks and medals to the structure within the Emperor's Hammer. This manual provides all of the information needed to function and enjoy a career in the club. The Emperor's Hammer is a complex and dynamic organization. Emperor's Hammer veterans are encouraged to periodically review the contents herein, as they are under constant revision.

== Activities ==

The Emperor's Hammer is primarily based on online multiplayer or role play gaming in the Star Wars universe, however, there are many other activities and events available.

The primary activities center around online multiplayer gaming

. The TIE Corps focuses on the space combat sims, the Hammer's Fist on the First Person Shooters, the Directorate on Strategy and the Fringe on Star Wars Galaxies (Star Wars themed Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi is the only exception as it focuses on many aspects and adds in the element of Force users.

The Emperor's Hammer has created thousands of missions/maps for Star Wars games. They are available for download from the Emperor's Hammer Battle Center.

Battle Center status as of this manual revision:
GAME BATTLES MISSIONS
TIE Fighter 295 1901
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter 186 1224
Balance of Power 38 231
X-Wing Alliance 91 660
X-Wing 24 128
SW: Galactic Battlegrounds 7 33
Jedi Academy 0 5

The following list contains only SOME of the activities to participate in within the Emperor's Hammer:
Gaming Activities

Space Simulators
For those whose interested in vaping their enemies into tiny bits in fast space combat, the EH provides a solid membership where players for online multiplaying can be found, as well as many custom missions for single player in all of the supported games:

X-Wing (XW)
TIE Fighter & TIE Fighter CD (TF)
X-wing vs Tie Fighter (XvT)
Balance of Power (BoP)
X-Wing Alliance(XWA)
Freeworlds

First Person Shooters
For those who prefer a more personal approach and to "pound the ground", the EH supports all multiplayer Star Wars themed First Person Shooters, be it a trooper or Dark Jedi. The games currently supported are:

Call of Duty 4 with Star Wars Mod: Galactic Warfare
Battlefield 2142 with First Strike mod
Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy
Republic Commando
Star Wars: Battlefront series

Real Time Strategy Games

Star Wars Force Commander (limited support)
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds + Clone Campaigns
Star Wars Empire at War + Forces of Corruption
Sins of a Galactic Empire

Role Playing
For those who prefer live action character development in a Star Wars based universe. Role playing games are also supported in the Emperor's Hammer:

Star Wars Galaxies
Star Wars The Old Republic

Creative Activities

Fiction
For creative minds that enjoy stories, the Emperor's Hammer allows members to participate in a great deal of events related to writing fan-fiction:

Short-stories
Poetry
Run-on stories on the message boards

Trivia
Your Star Wars and EH knowledge will be measured in these events, which can be administerd via e-mail, message board or IRC.

Webpage Design and Creation
Events, competitions, units and other situations all require webpages for effective communication within the Fleet. Webpages creation is a good way to get noticed and promote your own fighting unit.

Graphics and other Artistic Endeavors
Creating original EH-oriented graphics is a great way to contribute to the Fleet. It does not matter if you think you are the worst artist in the world, there is never enough graphic art in the EH.

Newsletters
The Emperor's Hammer publishes the Dark Sentinel. This newsletter covers the entire EH and accepts contributions from all corners of the club. Give your work a broader audience. Be creative!
Events

Operations and Competitions
All of the above activities can be done as an individual effort at any time. Don't wait for some "official" event to come along to be active! When official events do come along, it is always a big event. Official events fall into two categories:
Operations and Competitions.

Operations are the Big Events. They are always Group-wide and frequently have many different activities to encourage everyone to participate. Because they are so complex, they involve many man-hours of preparation and do not occur more than once every few months.

Competitions are more local events. They are usually at the unit level or below, pitting squadron against squadron or platoon against platoon. Inter-squad competitions can settle who is the best flight in a squadron or squad in a platoon. Competitions may be run by anyone and only require approval by a superior and the Operation Officer for that Group.

== Competition Guidance ==

Competitions provide and fun and exciting way for members to engage in club activities. Competitions may take place across a nearly unlimited variety of activities, including gaming, trivia, puzzles, or creative works (graphics/fiction).

Competitions can be recommended/submitted via the the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/addcompetition.php Management Panel] on your Emperor's Hammer profile. You will need to provide certain mandatory information about your proposed competition, such as start and end dates, medals/awards that can be won, and a full description of the competition and its rules. When completing the competition submission form, you should complete each field to be display-ready for members when your competition is approved. Correct spelling and grammar helps provide clarity to your competition. The competition form support [https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/ Markdown]-based formatting, enabling you to organize the information well and provide emphasis where needed.

If you are new to submitting competitions, it can be very helpful to have another experienced member, such as a [[Squadron Commander]], proofread your proposed competition prior to submission. They can also provide feedback on the rules and scoring for your competition. Reviewing existing approved competitions within the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php Competition Center] can also help a new competition runner understand what makes a good competition listing.

=== Duties of a Competition Runner ===

Competition runners (i.e., the person proposing a competition) are responsible for the competition from inception through completion. This includes:

* Recommending the competition through the web site interface.
* Making corrections to the competition listing, if necessary.
* Collecting results, scores, or other applicable performance metrics for the competition.
* Announcing mid-competition standings, if applicable (typically for longer duration competitions).
* Announcing the final competition results.
* Initiating medal recommendations for the winning members.

While running a good competition can take some time and energy, it is a great way to create a fun atmosphere within the organization and provides additional opportunities for the competition runner to be recognized for their contributions.

=== Common Errors ===

* The competition details omit information that a member will need to fully participate in the event. For example, failing to explain how the competition will be scored, how or where to submit their results, etc.
* The proposed awards for the competition are not consistent with the respective subgroup's criteria for those awards.
* Excessive spelling, grammar, or formatting errors that impact the clarity of the competition listing.

=== Competitions in the TIE Corps ===

As a rule of thumb, the TIE Corps prefers not to duplicate competitions that are already in existence at a wider level (other than trivia). For example, a squadron or battlegroup version of Ace of the TIE Corps would not be approved as it is essentially double dipping with regards to medals. We do though allow ''similar'' competitions and if you can use a different metric (e.g., Legion of Combat/Legions of Skirmish with a certain number of your own squadron present instead of a flat count of LoCs/LoSs) then it would likely be approved. If in doubt please contact the [[Warfare Officer]] for guidance.

When it comes to medals, please remember:

* Platinum [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] may only be awarded for first place in Corps-wide competitions that either last at least four months or for more complex events like Raise the Flag.
* Gold [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] are awarded for first place in battlegroup, ship, and wing competitions. They’re also awarded for Corps-level competitions that last less than a few months and to the runner-up for an IS-PW. Competitions at the Corps, battlegroup, ship, and wing levels that run for less than a month or have rounds that last less than a month should not award IS-GWs to keep them from becoming too common.
* Silver [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] are awarded for first place in squadron-level competitions that last at least one month. They’re also awarded to the runner-up for an IS-GW.
* Bronze [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] are awarded for first place in squadron-level competitions lasting less than one month or to the runner-up for an IS-SW.
* Copper [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] would never need to be a first place award, with other Iron Stars fulfilling that purpose. Any competition awarding the IS-BW or IS-BR may award an IS-CW or IS-CR to the runner-up.
* [[Operational Readiness Award]]: These should not be awarded as a simple “participate in the competition, get a medal”. The idea for the ORA is that pilots can make achievements in a competition without placing, for example completing a certain number of tasks. If in doubt please reach out to the WO for advice.

=== Examples ===
==== Poor quality submission ====
[[File:Competition-example-bad1.PNG]]
* Competition description contains irrelevant information (<cite>"I think it would be a great idea if..."</cite>).
* Competition description doesn't contain enough information to participate. For example, does the pilot have to submit their score somewhere?
* As a general rule, 'blanket' or 'placeholder' competitions where the actual activity to be performed (in this case, which battle will be flown) is unknown are not preferred except in special circumstances.
* Grammar impacts clarity of the description.
* Awards are listed in the description section (which is unnecessarily duplicative) and also does not match those listed in the awards section. If the IS-GW is being proposed, it is not supported by the TIE Corps policies for awarding the IS-GW in a squadron-level competition.

==== Good submission ====
[[File:Competition-example-good1.PNG]]
* The competition is creative and not a rehash of other common competitions.
* The competition description is robust and provides specific details to the member on how to participate and submit their results.
* The competition description uses paragraphs for clarity.

Welcome to the '''Emperor's Hammer Manual'''. The Manual acts as a central resource and reference for the entire Emperor's Hammer, covering a vast range of topics from ranks and medals to the structure within the Emperor's Hammer. This manual provides all of the information needed to function and enjoy a career in the club. The Emperor's Hammer is a complex and dynamic organization. Emperor's Hammer veterans are encouraged to periodically review the contents herein, as they are under constant revision.

== Activities ==

The Emperor's Hammer is primarily based on online multiplayer or role play gaming in the Star Wars universe, however, there are many other activities and events available.

The primary activities center around online multiplayer gaming

. The TIE Corps focuses on the space combat sims, the Hammer's Fist on the First Person Shooters, the Directorate on Strategy and the Fringe on Star Wars Galaxies (Star Wars themed Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi is the only exception as it focuses on many aspects and adds in the element of Force users.

The Emperor's Hammer has created thousands of missions/maps for Star Wars games. They are available for download from the Emperor's Hammer Battle Center.

Battle Center status as of this manual revision:
GAME BATTLES MISSIONS
TIE Fighter 295 1901
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter 186 1224
Balance of Power 38 231
X-Wing Alliance 91 660
X-Wing 24 128
SW: Galactic Battlegrounds 7 33
Jedi Academy 0 5

The following list contains only SOME of the activities to participate in within the Emperor's Hammer:
Gaming Activities

Space Simulators
For those whose interested in vaping their enemies into tiny bits in fast space combat, the EH provides a solid membership where players for online multiplaying can be found, as well as many custom missions for single player in all of the supported games:

X-Wing (XW)
TIE Fighter & TIE Fighter CD (TF)
X-wing vs Tie Fighter (XvT)
Balance of Power (BoP)
X-Wing Alliance(XWA)
Freeworlds

First Person Shooters
For those who prefer a more personal approach and to "pound the ground", the EH supports all multiplayer Star Wars themed First Person Shooters, be it a trooper or Dark Jedi. The games currently supported are:

Call of Duty 4 with Star Wars Mod: Galactic Warfare
Battlefield 2142 with First Strike mod
Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy
Republic Commando
Star Wars: Battlefront series

Real Time Strategy Games
For those who prefer the careful planning of strategies and the decisive strike against your enemies. Real Time Strategy games are also supported in the Emperor's Hammer:

Star Wars Force Commander (limited support)
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds + Clone Campaigns
Star Wars Empire at War + Forces of Corruption
Sins of a Galactic Empire

Role Playing
For those who prefer live action character development in a Star Wars based universe. Role playing games are also supported in the Emperor's Hammer:

Star Wars Galaxies
Star Wars The Old Republic

Creative Activities

Fiction
For creative minds that enjoy stories, the Emperor's Hammer allows members to participate in a great deal of events related to writing fan-fiction:

Short-stories
Poetry
Run-on stories on the message boards

Trivia
Your Star Wars and EH knowledge will be measured in these events, which can be administerd via e-mail, message board or IRC.

Webpage Design and Creation
Events, competitions, units and other situations all require webpages for effective communication within the Fleet. Webpages creation is a good way to get noticed and promote your own fighting unit.

Graphics and other Artistic Endeavors
Creating original EH-oriented graphics is a great way to contribute to the Fleet. It does not matter if you think you are the worst artist in the world, there is never enough graphic art in the EH.

Newsletters
The Emperor's Hammer publishes the Dark Sentinel. This newsletter covers the entire EH and accepts contributions from all corners of the club. Give your work a broader audience. Be creative!
Events

Operations and Competitions
All of the above activities can be done as an individual effort at any time. Don't wait for some "official" event to come along to be active! When official events do come along, it is always a big event. Official events fall into two categories:
Operations and Competitions.

Operations are the Big Events. They are always Group-wide and frequently have many different activities to encourage everyone to participate. Because they are so complex, they involve many man-hours of preparation and do not occur more than once every few months.

Competitions are more local events. They are usually at the unit level or below, pitting squadron against squadron or platoon against platoon. Inter-squad competitions can settle who is the best flight in a squadron or squad in a platoon. Competitions may be run by anyone and only require approval by a superior and the Operation Officer for that Group.

==[[COO:Combat Operations Manual|COO/COOA Processing]]==
===Queue Processing===
Queue processing is performed by the COO or a COOA.
*The exception is that if the COO or a COOA is in the match report, another member of the office must process the match (i.e if Miles Prower (COO) and Silwar Naiilo (COOA) were reported in the match, the match report would not be visible to them, but could be processed by another COOA such as EvilGrin or Taygetta)

Queue processing is accessible to the COO or a COOA by accessing Combat Operations within Staff Operations on the Management section of Member Account on the TIE Corps website after successful PIN and password authentication.

[[File:COOMAN-Example-CombatOps.png]]

The match report will consist of:
*Combat Event ID (if applicable/reported)
*Submitting pilot's name and rank
*Game platform
*Submission date
*Winning team members reported by submitter
*Losing team members reported by submitter
*Kill numbers reported by submitter and calculated team totals
*Each winning pilot with fields for kills, assists, objectives and efficiency (a Star Conflict item)

If the match report meets the standards (both global and platform-based) that indicate the match qualifies for recognition, the processor selects the '''Approve''' bubble and proceeds in the queue.

[[File:COOMAN-Example-QueueReport.png]]

An example of a match report that qualifies for recognition

If the match report does not meet the standard for recognition, the processor selects the '''Deny''' bubble and either selects an appropriate automatic response from the dropdown menu (i.e Duplicate found by the automatic duplicate detection system) or enters the reason for denial into the 'Reason for denying' text box.

*Duplicates are generally automatically flagged by the detection system. However false-negatives and false-positives may present so please scrutinise all duplication reports to ensure they are being flagged properly. Anomalies with the detection system should be reported to the [[Internet Officer]].

If the match report requires further clarification to make a decision, the processor selects the '''Skip''' bubble (which is set by default for all reports). '''Skipping a match report and requesting help from other COOAs and/or the COO is always considered appropriate if a report looks unclear.'''

==[[COO:Combat Operations Manual|Combat Events]]==
Combat Events are multiplayer events tracked by the Combat Operations Office. They are added by the COO or a COOA from the Combat Operations Office Administration page.

Inter-club combat events will also be listed but may also be listed at the third-party [http://battlestats.com BattleStats] website. To be countered in an inter-club combat event that the EH is participating in, you must have a BattleStats account and be a member of the [https://www.battlestats.com/clubs/view/?486 EH Club] (Club ID: 486) in BattleStats.

===Distinguished Flying Cross===
[[image:Dfc.png|Distinguished Flying Cross|right]]
Winning Combat Operations Office approved combat events makes a pilot eligible for the [[Distinguished Flying Cross]].

Multiple DFCs can be awarded on a single combat event if more than one EH/TC member qualifies and they are all tied for 1st place (though likely a rare condition).

Overall though these conditions must be met by default
*You must be the best EH ranking player in the combat event.
**If there is a tie and the other requirements are met, DFCs can be awarded to all tiers.
*You must beat a minimum of three different players on that combat event
*You must have a win-loss ratio of at least +3 (ex. 3 wins/0 losses, 4 wins/1 loss, etc.)
*Any exceptions to these rules must be agreed to by at least one member of the TIE Corps Command Staff or EH Command Staff.

==[[COO:Combat Operations Manual|Ratings & Awards]]==
The Combat Operations Office also issues awards for attaining certain levels in the Rating system for [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/stats.php?type=CR PvP/Combat Ratings] and [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/stats.php?type=PVE PvE/Co-Op].

Upon meeting a certain rating, the pilot is recognised with the appropriate medal for that rating by the COO. These medals can be found in the TIE Corps Pilot Manual.

== Competition Guidance ==

Competitions provide and fun and exciting way for members to engage in club activities. Competitions may take place across a nearly unlimited variety of activities, including gaming, trivia, puzzles, or creative works (graphics/fiction).

Competitions can be recommended/submitted via the the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/addcompetition.php Management Panel] on your Emperor's Hammer profile. You will need to provide certain mandatory information about your proposed competition, such as start and end dates, medals/awards that can be won, and a full description of the competition and its rules. When completing the competition submission form, you should complete each field to be display-ready for members when your competition is approved. Correct spelling and grammar helps provide clarity to your competition. The competition form support [https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/ Markdown]-based formatting, enabling you to organize the information well and provide emphasis where needed.

If you are new to submitting competitions, it can be very helpful to have another experienced member, such as a [[Squadron Commander]], proofread your proposed competition prior to submission. They can also provide feedback on the rules and scoring for your competition. Reviewing existing approved competitions within the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php Competition Center] can also help a new competition runner understand what makes a good competition listing.

=== Duties of a Competition Runner ===

Competition runners (i.e., the person proposing a competition) are responsible for the competition from inception through completion. This includes:

* Recommending the competition through the web site interface.
* Making corrections to the competition listing, if necessary.
* Collecting results, scores, or other applicable performance metrics for the competition.
* Announcing mid-competition standings, if applicable (typically for longer duration competitions).
* Announcing the final competition results.
* Initiating medal recommendations for the winning members.

While running a good competition can take some time and energy, it is a great way to create a fun atmosphere within the organization and provides additional opportunities for the competition runner to be recognized for their contributions.

=== Common Errors ===

* The competition details omit information that a member will need to fully participate in the event. For example, failing to explain how the competition will be scored, how or where to submit their results, etc.
* The proposed awards for the competition are not consistent with the respective subgroup's criteria for those awards.
* Excessive spelling, grammar, or formatting errors that impact the clarity of the competition listing.

=== Competitions in the TIE Corps ===

As a rule of thumb, the TIE Corps prefers not to duplicate competitions that are already in existence at a wider level (other than trivia). For example, a squadron or battlegroup version of Ace of the TIE Corps would not be approved as it is essentially double dipping with regards to medals. We do though allow ''similar'' competitions and if you can use a different metric (e.g., Legion of Combat/Legions of Skirmish with a certain number of your own squadron present instead of a flat count of LoCs/LoSs) then it would likely be approved. If in doubt please contact the [[Warfare Officer]] for guidance.

When it comes to medals, please remember:

* Platinum [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] may only be awarded for first place in Corps-wide competitions that either last at least four months or for more complex events like Raise the Flag.
* Gold [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] are awarded for first place in battlegroup, ship, and wing competitions. They’re also awarded for Corps-level competitions that last less than a few months and to the runner-up for an IS-PW. Competitions at the Corps, battlegroup, ship, and wing levels that run for less than a month or have rounds that last less than a month should not award IS-GWs to keep them from becoming too common.
* Silver [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] are awarded for first place in squadron-level competitions that last at least one month. They’re also awarded to the runner-up for an IS-GW.
* Bronze [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] are awarded for first place in squadron-level competitions lasting less than one month or to the runner-up for an IS-SW.
* Copper [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] would never need to be a first place award, with other Iron Stars fulfilling that purpose. Any competition awarding the IS-BW or IS-BR may award an IS-CW or IS-CR to the runner-up.
* [[Operational Readiness Award]]: These should not be awarded as a simple “participate in the competition, get a medal”. The idea for the ORA is that pilots can make achievements in a competition without placing, for example completing a certain number of tasks. If in doubt please reach out to the WO for advice.

=== Examples ===
==== Poor quality submission ====
[[File:Competition-example-bad1.PNG]]
* Competition description contains irrelevant information (<cite>"I think it would be a great idea if..."</cite>).
* Competition description doesn't contain enough information to participate. For example, does the pilot have to submit their score somewhere?
* As a general rule, 'blanket' or 'placeholder' competitions where the actual activity to be performed (in this case, which battle will be flown) is unknown are not preferred except in special circumstances.
* Grammar impacts clarity of the description.
* Awards are listed in the description section (which is unnecessarily duplicative) and also does not match those listed in the awards section. If the IS-GW is being proposed, it is not supported by the TIE Corps policies for awarding the IS-GW in a squadron-level competition.

==== Good submission ====
[[File:Competition-example-good1.PNG]]
* The competition is creative and not a rehash of other common competitions.
* The competition description is robust and provides specific details to the member on how to participate and submit their results.
* The competition description uses paragraphs for clarity.
* The awards are in accordance with TIE Corps policies for the [[Iron Star]] and [[Operational Readiness Award]].

Welcome to the '''Emperor's Hammer Manual'''. The Manual acts as a central resource and reference for the entire Emperor's Hammer, covering a vast range of topics from ranks and medals to the structure within the Emperor's Hammer. This manual provides all of the information needed to function and enjoy a career in the club. The Emperor's Hammer is a complex and dynamic organization. Emperor's Hammer veterans are encouraged to periodically review the contents herein, as they are under constant revision.

== Activities ==

The Emperor's Hammer is primarily based on online multiplayer or role play gaming in the Star Wars universe, however, there are many other activities and events available.

The primary activities center around online multiplayer gaming

. The TIE Corps focuses on the space combat sims, the Hammer's Fist on the First Person Shooters, the Directorate on Strategy and the Fringe on Star Wars Galaxies (Star Wars themed Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi is the only exception as it focuses on many aspects and adds in the element of Force users.

The Emperor's Hammer has created thousands of missions/maps for Star Wars games. They are available for download from the Emperor's Hammer Battle Center.

Battle Center status as of this manual revision:
GAME BATTLES MISSIONS
TIE Fighter 295 1901
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter 186 1224
Balance of Power 38 231
X-Wing Alliance 91 660
X-Wing 24 128
SW: Galactic Battlegrounds 7 33
Jedi Academy 0 5

The following list contains only SOME of the activities to participate in within the Emperor's Hammer:
Gaming Activities

Space Simulators
For those whose interested in vaping their enemies into tiny bits in fast space combat, the EH provides a solid membership where players for online multiplaying can be found, as well as many custom missions for single player in all of the supported games:

X-Wing (XW)
TIE Fighter & TIE Fighter CD (TF)
X-wing vs Tie Fighter (XvT)
Balance of Power (BoP)
X-Wing Alliance(XWA)
Freeworlds

Call of Duty 4 with Star Wars Mod: Galactic Warfare
Battlefield 2142 with First Strike mod
Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy
Republic Commando
Star Wars: Battlefront series

Star Wars Force Commander (limited support)
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds + Clone Campaigns
Star Wars Empire at War + Forces of Corruption
Sins of a Galactic Empire

Role Playing
For those who prefer live action character development in a Star Wars based universe. Role playing games are also supported in the Emperor's Hammer:

Star Wars Galaxies
Star Wars The Old Republic

Creative Activities

Fiction
For creative minds that enjoy stories, the Emperor's Hammer allows members to participate in a great deal of events related to writing fan-fiction:

Short-stories
Poetry
Run-on stories on the message boards

Trivia
Your Star Wars and EH knowledge will be measured in these events, which can be administerd via e-mail, message board or IRC.

Webpage Design and Creation
Events, competitions, units and other situations all require webpages for effective communication within the Fleet. Webpages creation is a good way to get noticed and promote your own fighting unit.

Graphics and other Artistic Endeavors
Creating original EH-oriented graphics is a great way to contribute to the Fleet. It does not matter if you think you are the worst artist in the world, there is never enough graphic art in the EH.

Newsletters
The Emperor's Hammer publishes the Dark Sentinel. This newsletter covers the entire EH and accepts contributions from all corners of the club. Give your work a broader audience. Be creative!
Events

Operations and Competitions
All of the above activities can be done as an individual effort at any time. Don't wait for some "official" event to come along to be active! When official events do come along, it is always a big event. Official events fall into two categories:
Operations and Competitions.

Operations are the Big Events. They are always Group-wide and frequently have many different activities to encourage everyone to participate. Because they are so complex, they involve many man-hours of preparation and do not occur more than once every few months.

Competitions are more local events. They are usually at the unit level or below, pitting squadron against squadron or platoon against platoon. Inter-squad competitions can settle who is the best flight in a squadron or squad in a platoon. Competitions may be run by anyone and only require approval by a superior and the Operation Officer for that Group.

== Competition Guidance ==

Competitions provide and fun and exciting way for members to engage in club activities. Competitions may take place across a nearly unlimited variety of activities, including gaming, trivia, puzzles, or creative works (graphics/fiction).

Competitions can be recommended/submitted via the the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/addcompetition.php Management Panel] on your Emperor's Hammer profile. You will need to provide certain mandatory information about your proposed competition, such as start and end dates, medals/awards that can be won, and a full description of the competition and its rules. When completing the competition submission form, you should complete each field to be display-ready for members when your competition is approved. Correct spelling and grammar helps provide clarity to your competition. The competition form support [https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/ Markdown]-based formatting, enabling you to organize the information well and provide emphasis where needed.

If you are new to submitting competitions, it can be very helpful to have another experienced member, such as a [[Squadron Commander]], proofread your proposed competition prior to submission. They can also provide feedback on the rules and scoring for your competition. Reviewing existing approved competitions within the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php Competition Center] can also help a new competition runner understand what makes a good competition listing.

=== Duties of a Competition Runner ===

Competition runners (i.e., the person proposing a competition) are responsible for the competition from inception through completion. This includes:

* Recommending the competition through the web site interface.
* Making corrections to the competition listing, if necessary.
* Collecting results, scores, or other applicable performance metrics for the competition.
* Announcing mid-competition standings, if applicable (typically for longer duration competitions).
* Announcing the final competition results.
* Initiating medal recommendations for the winning members.

While running a good competition can take some time and energy, it is a great way to create a fun atmosphere within the organization and provides additional opportunities for the competition runner to be recognized for their contributions.

=== Common Errors ===

* The competition details omit information that a member will need to fully participate in the event. For example, failing to explain how the competition will be scored, how or where to submit their results, etc.
* The proposed awards for the competition are not consistent with the respective subgroup's criteria for those awards.
* Excessive spelling, grammar, or formatting errors that impact the clarity of the competition listing.

=== Competitions in the TIE Corps ===

As a rule of thumb, the TIE Corps prefers not to duplicate competitions that are already in existence at a wider level (other than trivia). For example, a squadron or battlegroup version of Ace of the TIE Corps would not be approved as it is essentially double dipping with regards to medals. We do though allow ''similar'' competitions and if you can use a different metric (e.g., Legion of Combat/Legions of Skirmish with a certain number of your own squadron present instead of a flat count of LoCs/LoSs) then it would likely be approved. If in doubt please contact the [[Warfare Officer]] for guidance.

When it comes to medals, please remember:

* Platinum [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] may only be awarded for first place in Corps-wide competitions that either last at least four months or for more complex events like Raise the Flag.
* Gold [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] are awarded for first place in battlegroup, ship, and wing competitions. They’re also awarded for Corps-level competitions that last less than a few months and to the runner-up for an IS-PW. Competitions at the Corps, battlegroup, ship, and wing levels that run for less than a month or have rounds that last less than a month should not award IS-GWs to keep them from becoming too common.
* Silver [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] are awarded for first place in squadron-level competitions that last at least one month. They’re also awarded to the runner-up for an IS-GW.
* Bronze [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] are awarded for first place in squadron-level competitions lasting less than one month or to the runner-up for an IS-SW.
* Copper [[Iron Star|Iron Stars]] would never need to be a first place award, with other Iron Stars fulfilling that purpose. Any competition awarding the IS-BW or IS-BR may award an IS-CW or IS-CR to the runner-up.
* [[Operational Readiness Award]]: These should not be awarded as a simple “participate in the competition, get a medal”. The idea for the ORA is that pilots can make achievements in a competition without placing, for example completing a certain number of tasks. If in doubt please reach out to the WO for advice.

* Competition description contains irrelevant information (<cite>"I think it would be a great idea if..."</cite>).
* Competition description doesn't contain enough information to participate. For example, does the pilot have to submit their score somewhere?
* As a general rule, 'blanket' or 'placeholder' competitions where the actual activity to be performed (in this case, which battle will be flown) is unknown are not preferred except in special circumstances.
* Grammar impacts clarity of the description.
* Awards are listed in the description section (which is unnecessarily duplicative) and also does not match those listed in the awards section. If the IS-GW is being proposed, it is not supported by the TIE Corps policies for awarding the IS-GW in a squadron-level competition.

==== Good submission ====
[[File:Competition-example-good1.PNG]]
* The competition is creative and not a rehash of other common competitions.
* The competition description is robust and provides specific details to the member on how to participate and submit their results.
* The competition description uses paragraphs for clarity.
* The awards are in accordance with TIE Corps policies for the [[Iron Star]] and [[Operational Readiness Award]].

Welcome to the '''Emperor's Hammer Manual'''. The Manual acts as a central resource and reference for the entire Emperor's Hammer, covering a vast range of topics from ranks and medals to the structure within the Emperor's Hammer. This manual provides all of the information needed to function and enjoy a career in the club. The Emperor's Hammer is a complex and dynamic organization. Emperor's Hammer veterans are encouraged to periodically review the contents herein, as they are under constant revision.

== Activities ==

The Emperor's Hammer is primarily based on online multiplayer or role play gaming in the Star Wars universe, however, there are many other activities and events available.

The primary activities center around online multiplayer gaming

. The TIE Corps focuses on the space combat sims, the Hammer's Fist on the First Person Shooters, the Directorate on Strategy and the Fringe on Star Wars Galaxies (Star Wars themed Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi is the only exception as it focuses on many aspects and adds in the element of Force users.

The Emperor's Hammer has created thousands of missions/maps for Star Wars games. They are available for download from the Emperor's Hammer Battle Center.

Battle Center status as of this manual revision:
GAME BATTLES MISSIONS
TIE Fighter 295 1901
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter 186 1224
Balance of Power 38 231
X-Wing Alliance 91 660
X-Wing 24 128
SW: Galactic Battlegrounds 7 33
Jedi Academy 0 5

The following list contains only SOME of the activities to participate in within the Emperor's Hammer:
Gaming Activities

Space Simulators
For those whose interested in vaping their enemies into tiny bits in fast space combat, the EH provides a solid membership where players for online multiplaying can be found, as well as many custom missions for single player in all of the supported games:

X-Wing (XW)
TIE Fighter & TIE Fighter CD (TF)
X-wing vs Tie Fighter (XvT)
Balance of Power (BoP)
X-Wing Alliance(XWA)
Freeworlds

First Person Shooters
For those who prefer a more personal approach and to "pound the ground", the EH supports all multiplayer Star Wars themed First Person Shooters, be it a trooper or Dark Jedi. The games currently supported are:

Call of Duty 4 with Star Wars Mod: Galactic Warfare
Battlefield 2142 with First Strike mod
Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy
Republic Commando
Star Wars: Battlefront series

Real Time Strategy Games

Star Wars Force Commander (limited support)
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds + Clone Campaigns
Star Wars Empire at War + Forces of Corruption
Sins of a Galactic Empire

Role Playing
For those who prefer live action character development in a Star Wars based universe. Role playing games are also supported in the Emperor's Hammer:

Star Wars Galaxies
Star Wars The Old Republic

Creative Activities

Fiction
For creative minds that enjoy stories, the Emperor's Hammer allows members to participate in a great deal of events related to writing fan-fiction:

Short-stories
Poetry
Run-on stories on the message boards

Trivia
Your Star Wars and EH knowledge will be measured in these events, which can be administerd via e-mail, message board or IRC.

Webpage Design and Creation
Events, competitions, units and other situations all require webpages for effective communication within the Fleet. Webpages creation is a good way to get noticed and promote your own fighting unit.

Graphics and other Artistic Endeavors
Creating original EH-oriented graphics is a great way to contribute to the Fleet. It does not matter if you think you are the worst artist in the world, there is never enough graphic art in the EH.

Newsletters
The Emperor's Hammer publishes the Dark Sentinel. This newsletter covers the entire EH and accepts contributions from all corners of the club. Give your work a broader audience. Be creative!
Events

Operations and Competitions
All of the above activities can be done as an individual effort at any time. Don't wait for some "official" event to come along to be active! When official events do come along, it is always a big event. Official events fall into two categories:
Operations and Competitions.

Operations are the Big Events. They are always Group-wide and frequently have many different activities to encourage everyone to participate. Because they are so complex, they involve many man-hours of preparation and do not occur more than once every few months.

Competitions are more local events. They are usually at the unit level or below, pitting squadron against squadron or platoon against platoon. Inter-squad competitions can settle who is the best flight in a squadron or squad in a platoon. Competitions may be run by anyone and only require approval by a superior and the Operation Officer for that Group.

{{Emperor's Hammer Manual}}
{{EH Command Staff}}
The '''Communications Officer''' (COMM) is a [[Command Staff]] officer (CS-3(a)), organized within the [[Internet Officer|Internet Office]], responsible for administration of Emperor's Hammer communication platforms and enforcing member conduct.

=Position Description=

[[Image:Herald-comm-patch-full.png|275px|thumb|Unit patch for the A/CRS Herald, and Communications Officer.]]

The Communications Officer (COMM) is primarily responsible for overseeing the online conduct of Emperor's Hammer members and administering Emperor's Hammer communication platforms (e.g., Discord servers). They directly respond to members' complaints and concerns regarding member conduct on communication platforms. They strive as a mediator to resolve potential conflicts at the lowest level before formal sanctions are required. When warranted, they are responsible for conducting investigations of member conduct, using the Bylaws, Articles of War, and Code of Conduct as the principal sources of regulatory guidance. They coordinate with relevant Command Staff members, such as the [[Tactical Officer]] and [[Training Officer]], to resolve incidents concerning allegations of member violation of cheating policies. When warranted, they sanction members for inappropriate conduct in accordance with the Code of Conduct, or refer more serious incidents to the Executive Officer and/or Fleet Commander for formal charges and final adjudication.

== Duties ==

* Maintains a high level of presence in communication platforms (Discord servers) in order to identify potential conduct issues before they escalate.
* Serves as an Administrator on communication platforms.
* Serves as the primary point of contact for handling reports of member misconduct on communication platforms; responds directly to members' complaints or concerns.
* Exercises interpersonal tact and deescalation techniques to resolve conflicts at the lowest level.
* Enforces the Code of Conduct. Exercises discretion in handling conduct issues, and sanctions members in accordance with the Code of Conduct when warranted.
* Issues policies, in coordination with the [[Internet Officer]], governing the administration of the primary Emperor's Hammer communication platforms (Discord servers).
* Serves as the principal investigating officer concerning allegations of member misconduct, to include violations of the Bylaws, Articles of War, Code of Conduct, or Cheating policies. Coordinates with applicable staff officers with oversight over specific forms of member activity, including (but not limited to) the [[Tactical Officer]], [[Training Officer]], and [[Combat Operations Officer]] to investigate breaches in conduct.
* Prepares a report of findings, and escalates substantiated misconduct along with a charging recommendation to the Executive Officer and Fleet Commander for adjudication.

==Rank==
The Communications Officer is a supporting staff officer for the [[Internet Officer]] (IO) and must hold the minimum rank of [[Rear Admiral]]. Although organized as a part of the Internet Office, the position of COMM is considered a [[Command Staff]] position. The COMM may be promoted up to and including the rank of [[High Admiral]].
