__NOEDITSECTION__
'''Vapen Van'an''' is an officer in the [[Emperor's Hammer]] holding the rank of [[Lieutenant Colonel]]. He has served as the [[Squadron Commander]] of [[Theta Squadron]] in [[Wing II]] aboard the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer [[Warrior|''Warrior'']] and [[COOA|Combat Operations Officer Assistant]] (COOA) for the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[TIE Corps]]. He is currently the Flight Leader of Theta.
==Early Life==
===Childhood===
Vapen was born on Balosar in 2 ABY. As a young boy, his parents were both caught up in the Balo mushroom trade, leaving him with a lonely childhood, but also allowing him the freedom to explore his city and planet on his terms. This encouraged his free spirit, rebelliousness, and a bit of the legendary Balosar selfishness. Eventually his parents were both caught by the New Republic for dealing death sticks, leaving him alone on the planet at the age of 13.

===Young Adulthood===
After both his parents were imprisoned, he became involved in the same thing that had separated him from his parents: the balo mushroom trade. He began harvesting, eventually worked up to planetary transportation and to his dream job-Inter Planetary Transportation. He got to pilot a starship loaded with product throughout the galaxy. Until 25 ABY, Vapen was an elusive mushroom transporter, known for his knack at being able to get in and out of the mission target without being spotted.

Near the end of the year, Vapen was arrested by the New Republic for selling balo mushrooms and sentenced to 5 years. His jailtime helped him to avoid most of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Finding out about the battles he missed gave him a bit of relief, but also inspired a desire to find out about combat and the experiences he heard about from some of his fellow prisoners. His cellmate was a member of an Imperial offshoot called the [[Emperor's Hammer]] and that a pilot of his caliber would fit in with the [[TIE Corps]]. In 30 ABY, upon his release, Vapen fell back into some of his old ways and contacts. After a close call with the Republic which could have lead to more jailtime, he decided to seek out the group his old cellmate told him about. If not simply to get back at the government that had imprisoned him (wrongfully in his opinion).

=== Early Career ===
After pirating his way through the galaxy, Vapen found his way to the Imperial Remnant, the [[Emperor's Hammer]](EH). He began his service to the EH in the [[TIE Corps]] aboard the [[Warrior|Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer ''Warrior'']] assigned to [[Rho Squadron]] where he piloted a TIE Interceptor.

==== Rho ====
While in Rho, he served as [[Flight Member]] for three months under the commandership of [[Fr0Zen]]. Under Fr0Zen's leadership, Vapen captained Rho's team for Chalquila Cup II, where the team would take first place. In Rho, Vapen spent a brief time as [[Flight Leader]], until moving up to Squadron Executive Officer when [[Westric Davalorn]] took command of the squadron.

==== Theta ====
After a month in the XO position for Rho, the commandership of [[Theta Squadron]] became open and in May of 2022 under Battlegroup II Commander, [[Vice Admiral]] Marenta, Vapen took command of Theta. In his first year, Vapen became very loyal to Theta, helping build the squadron through [[Raise the Flag 2022]], with a strong performance helping the Warrior to second place. From there, the squadron went on to help the Fleet in the final battle with the [[Ishtari]] in [[Imperial Storm|Imperial Storm V]] to destroy the bug threat. Theta's membership slightly dwindled between Imperial Storm and [[Squadron ReMobilization]] in 31 ABY (2023), however Theta was still able to put up good numbers for the event. They unlocked the ability to change their squadron objective and ships, but elected not to for the reason that the squadron was effective and enjoyed their current assignment.

=== Additional Roles ===

:In September of 2022, Vapen was appointed by [[Miles Prower]] as a COOA, shuttling to the [[Aggressor|VSDII Aggressor]] to perform his duties. He retired from this role in December of 2023.

:Also in September of 2022, Vapen joined the Education Committee for the IU. He quickly become a Professor in a number of courses, primarily history. He retired from this role in December of 2023.

==Squadron History==

Theta has a long history in the TIE Corps, predated the records listed below. However, the archives that contain this information are encrypted in cold storage.

===Reactivation===
Jarek La'an took Command of Theta squadron when it was reactivated in the third month of 22 ABY (March 2014). The squadron was filled with transferred members of [[Lambda Squadron]]. In that first year, Theta took first place in Raise the Flag. They continued this tradition for 4 more years, winning RtF through 2018. As the years went on, some of the more veteran players with significant experience in the single player games started moving to the reserves. In 28 ABY (2020), [[High Admiral|HA]] [[Pete Mitchell]] took command of Theta Squadron. During his tenure, he would see a new generation of pilot join, competitive Squadrons players that originated from a small group of willing pilots called the Cobra TIEs.

===Remobilization===
In 30 ABY (2022), [[Vapen Van'an]] was assigned as Commander of Theta when GN Mitchell stepped down. This solidified Theta's transition to a more multiplayer focused squadron. The squadron never forgot its' roots, still flying the older games, but generally moved toward more PvP and PvE focused.
In 31 ABY, when [[Battlegroup II]] was expanded with the addition of the [[Relentless|ISDII Relentless]], pilots from [[Sigma Squadron]] moved to [[Hammer Squadron]]. After [[Squadron ReMobilization|ReMob]] in 31 ABY, and a brief period aboard the Relentless, the pilots of the new squadron moved back to the Warrior in Theta Squadron.

===Progession (32 ABY)===

The next year, 32 ABY, brought many changes for Theta. After the XO spot being vacant for a few months, [[Nix Varro|LCM Nix Varro]] transferred from [[Sin Squadron]] to fill the vacancy. He brought a strong strategic mind as well as a desire to bring a new identity and enthusiasm to the squadron. Shortly after this, [[Jai Thorne|LCM Jai Thorne]] joined the TC and Theta as a Flight Member. His drive and notable performance quickly earned him the Flight Leader position. The addition of these officers filled out Theta's leadership as they rolled into Squadron Remobilization VI.

They were not the only notable addition to Theta in 32 ABY; Jai had noticed that Theta's Crew Chief, while exemplarly, was in need of some assistance, so he requisition a new R5 unit, [[R5-T3]] to help maintain, fix, and spot issues with the squadron's fighters. The droid quickly proved itself by finding and fixing some minor, and some not so minor issues on the squadrons' craft. For this, they dubbed the droid "Spotter".

Of minor note, this was also the year that the squadron patch received an update, not just increasing size and resolution, but updating the font to match Imperial Standard, Aurebesh. The Kraken still featured, now with high res tentacles and sharper lines.

==Squadron Achievements==

* In the [[Raise the Flag 2014|2014 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 3,335 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron.
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2015|2015 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 2,913 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2016|2016 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 5,450 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2017|2017 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 2,595 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2018|2018 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the <strike>eight</strike> nine squadrons in the TIE Corps with 2,478 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron

==Squadron History==

Theta has a long history in the TIE Corps, predated the records listed below. However, the archives that contain this information are encrypted in cold storage.

===Reactivation===
Jarek La'an took Command of Theta squadron when it was reactivated in the third month of 22 ABY (March 2014). The squadron was filled with transferred members of [[Lambda Squadron]]. In that first year, Theta took first place in Raise the Flag. They continued this tradition for 4 more years, winning RtF through 2018. As the years went on, some of the more veteran players with significant experience in the single player games started moving to the reserves. In 28 ABY (2020), [[High Admiral|HA]] [[Pete Mitchell]] took command of Theta Squadron. During his tenure, he would see a new generation of pilot join, competitive Squadrons players that originated from a small group of willing pilots called the Cobra TIEs.

===Remobilization===
In 30 ABY (2022), [[Vapen Van'an]] was assigned as Commander of Theta when GN Mitchell stepped down. This solidified Theta's transition to a more multiplayer focused squadron. The squadron never forgot its' roots, still flying the older games, but generally moved toward more PvP and PvE focused.
In 31 ABY, when [[Battlegroup II]] was expanded with the addition of the [[Relentless|ISDII Relentless]], pilots from [[Sigma Squadron]] moved to [[Hammer Squadron]]. After [[Squadron ReMobilization|ReMob]] in 31 ABY, and a brief period aboard the Relentless, the pilots of the new squadron moved back to the Warrior in Theta Squadron.

==Squadron Achievements==

* In the [[Raise the Flag 2014|2014 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 3,335 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron.
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2015|2015 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 2,913 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2016|2016 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 5,450 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2017|2017 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 2,595 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2018|2018 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the <strike>eight</strike> nine squadrons in the TIE Corps with 2,478 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron

'''Vapen Van'an''' is an officer in the [[Emperor's Hammer]] holding the rank of [[Lieutenant Colonel]]. He serves as the [[Squadron Commander]] of [[Theta Squadron]] in [[Wing II]] aboard the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer [[Warrior|''Warrior'']] and [[COOA|Combat Operations Officer Assistant]] (COOA) for the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[TIE Corps]].
==Early Life==
===Childhood===
Vapen was born on Balosar in 2 ABY. As a young boy, his parents were both caught up in the Balo mushroom trade, leaving him with a lonely childhood, but also allowing him the freedom to explore his city and planet on his terms. This encouraged his free spirit, rebelliousness, and a bit of the legendary Balosar selfishness. Eventually his parents were both caught by the New Republic for dealing death sticks, leaving him alone on the planet at the age of 13.

===Young Adulthood===
After both his parents were imprisoned, he became involved in the same thing that had separated him from his parents: the balo mushroom trade. He began harvesting, eventually worked up to planetary transportation and to his dream job-Inter Planetary Transportation. He got to pilot a starship loaded with product throughout the galaxy. Until 25 ABY, Vapen was an elusive mushroom transporter, known for his knack at being able to get in and out of the mission target without being spotted.

Near the end of the year, Vapen was arrested by the New Republic for selling balo mushrooms and sentenced to 5 years. His jailtime helped him to avoid most of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Finding out about the battles he missed gave him a bit of relief, but also inspired a desire to find out about combat and the experiences he heard about from some of his fellow prisoners. His cellmate was a member of an Imperial offshoot called the [[Emperor's Hammer]] and that a pilot of his caliber would fit in with the [[TIE Corps]]. In 30 ABY, upon his release, Vapen fell back into some of his old ways and contacts. After a close call with the Republic which could have lead to more jailtime, he decided to seek out the group his old cellmate told him about. If not simply to get back at the government that had imprisoned him (wrongfully in his opinion).

== TIE Corps ==

[[image:Warrior-Patch-2.png|thumb|200px|<center>ISDII Warrior Patch</center>]]

=== Early Career ===
After pirating his way through the galaxy, Vapen found his way to the Imperial Remnant, the [[Emperor's Hammer]](EH). He began his service to the EH in the [[TIE Corps]] aboard the [[Warrior|Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer ''Warrior'']] assigned to [[Rho Squadron]] where he piloted a TIE Interceptor.

==== Rho ====
While in Rho, he served as [[Flight Member]] for three months under the commandership of [[Fr0Zen]]. Under Fr0Zen's leadership, Vapen captained Rho's team for Chalquila Cup II, where the team would take first place. In Rho, Vapen spent a brief time as [[Flight Leader]], until moving up to Squadron Executive Officer when [[Westric Davalorn]] took command of the squadron.

==== Theta ====
After a month in the XO position for Rho, the commandership of [[Theta Squadron]] became open and in May of 2022 under Battlegroup II Commander, [[Vice Admiral]] Marenta, Vapen took command of Theta. In his first year, Vapen became very loyal to Theta, helping build the squadron through [[Raise the Flag 2022]], with a strong performance helping the Warrior to second place. From there, the squadron went on to help the Fleet in the final battle with the [[Ishtari]] in [[Imperial Storm|Imperial Storm V]] to destroy the bug threat. Theta's membership slightly dwindled between Imperial Storm and [[Squadron ReMobilization]] in 31 ABY (2023), however Theta was still able to put up good numbers for the event. They unlocked the ability to change their squadron objective and ships, but elected not to for the reason that the squadron was effective and enjoyed their current assignment.

=== Additional Roles ===

*[[COOA|Assistant to the Combat Operations Officer]]
:In September of 2022, Vapen was appointed by [[Miles Prower]] as a COOA, shuttling to the [[Aggressor|VSDII Aggressor]] to perform his duties. He retired from this role in December of 2023.
*Professor at the [[Imperial University]]
:Also in September of 2022, Vapen joined the Education Committee for the IU. He quickly become a Professor in a number of courses, primarily history. He retired from this role in December of 2023.

__NOEDITSECTION__
'''Vapen Van'an''' is an officer in the [[Emperor's Hammer]] holding the rank of [[Lieutenant Colonel]]. He serves as the [[Squadron Commander]] of [[Theta Squadron]] in [[Wing II]] aboard the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer [[Warrior|''Warrior'']] and [[COOA|Combat Operations Officer Assistant]] (COOA) for the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[TIE Corps]].
==Early Life==
===Childhood===
Vapen was born on Balosar in 2 ABY. As a young boy, his parents were both caught up in the Balo mushroom trade, leaving him with a lonely childhood, but also allowing him the freedom to explore his city and planet on his terms. This encouraged his free spirit, rebelliousness, and a bit of the legendary Balosar selfishness. Eventually his parents were both caught by the New Republic for dealing death sticks, leaving him alone on the planet at the age of 13.

===Young Adulthood===
After both his parents were imprisoned, he became involved in the same thing that had separated him from his parents: the balo mushroom trade. He began harvesting, eventually worked up to planetary transportation and to his dream job-Inter Planetary Transportation. He got to pilot a starship loaded with product throughout the galaxy. Until 25 ABY, Vapen was an elusive mushroom transporter, known for his knack at being able to get in and out of the mission target without being spotted.

Near the end of the year, Vapen was arrested by the New Republic for selling balo mushrooms and sentenced to 5 years. His jailtime helped him to avoid most of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Finding out about the battles he missed gave him a bit of relief, but also inspired a desire to find out about combat and the experiences he heard about from some of his fellow prisoners. His cellmate was a member of an Imperial offshoot called the [[Emperor's Hammer]] and that a pilot of his caliber would fit in with the [[TIE Corps]]. In 30 ABY, upon his release, Vapen fell back into some of his old ways and contacts. After a close call with the Republic which could have lead to more jailtime, he decided to seek out the group his old cellmate told him about. If not simply to get back at the government that had imprisoned him (wrongfully in his opinion).

== TIE Corps ==

[[image:Warrior-Patch-2.png|thumb|200px|<center>ISDII Warrior Patch</center>]]

=== Early Career ===
After pirating his way through the galaxy, Vapen found his way to the Imperial Remnant, the [[Emperor's Hammer]](EH). He began his service to the EH in the [[TIE Corps]] aboard the [[Warrior|Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer ''Warrior'']] assigned to [[Rho Squadron]] where he piloted a TIE Interceptor.

==== Rho ====
While in Rho, he served as [[Flight Member]] for three months under the commandership of [[Fr0Zen]]. Under Fr0Zen's leadership, Vapen captained Rho's team for Chalquila Cup II, where the team would take first place. In Rho, Vapen spent a brief time as [[Flight Leader]], until moving up to Squadron Executive Officer when [[Westric Davalorn]] took command of the squadron.

==== Theta ====
After a month in the XO position for Rho, the commandership of [[Theta Squadron]] became open and in May of 2022 under Battlegroup II Commander, [[Vice Admiral]] Marenta, Vapen took command of Theta. In his first year, Vapen became very loyal to Theta, helping build the squadron through [[Raise the Flag 2022]], with a strong performance helping the Warrior to second place. From there, the squadron went on to help the Fleet in the final battle with the [[Ishtari]] in [[Imperial Storm|Imperial Storm V]] to destroy the bug threat. Theta's membership slightly dwindled between Imperial Storm and [[Squadron ReMobilization]] in 31 ABY (2023), however Theta was still able to put up good numbers for the event. They unlocked the ability to change their squadron objective and ships, but elected not to for the reason that the squadron was effective and enjoyed their current assignment.

=== Additional Roles ===

*[[COOA|Assistant to the Combat Operations Officer]]
:In September of 2022, Vapen was appointed by [[Miles Prower]] as a COOA, shuttling to the [[Aggressor|VSDII Aggressor]] to perform his duties. He retired from this role in December of 2023.
*Professor at the [[Imperial University]]
:Also in September of 2022, Vapen joined the Education Committee for the IU. He quickly become a Professor in a number of courses, primarily history. He retired from this role in December of 2023.
:Courses Vapen was a professor of:

==Squadron History==

Theta has a long history in the TIE Corps, predated the records listed below. However, the archives that contain this information are encrypted in cold storage.

===Reactivation===
Jarek La'an took Command of Theta squadron when it was reactivated in the third month of 22 ABY (March 2014). The squadron was filled with transferred members of [[Lambda Squadron]]. In that first year, Theta took first place in Raise the Flag. They continued this tradition for 4 more years, winning RtF through 2018. As the years went on, some of the more veteran players with significant experience in the single player games started moving to the reserves. In 28 ABY (2020), [[High Admiral|HA]] [[Pete Mitchell]] took command of Theta Squadron. During his tenure, he would see a new generation of pilot join, competitive Squadrons players that originated from a small group of willing pilots called the Cobra TIEs.

===Remobilization===
In 30 ABY (2022), [[Vapen Van'an]] was assigned as Commander of Theta when GN Mitchell stepped down. This solidified Theta's transition to a more multiplayer focused squadron. The squadron never forgot its' roots, still flying the older games, but generally moved toward more PvP and PvE focused.
In 31 ABY, when [[Battlegroup II]] was expanded with the addition of the [[Relentless|ISDII Relentless]], pilots from [[Sigma Squadron]] moved to [[Hammer Squadron]]. After [[Squadron ReMobilization|ReMob]] in 31 ABY, and a brief period aboard the Relentless, the pilots of the new squadron moved back to the Warrior in Theta Squadron.

==Squadron Achievements==

* In the [[Raise the Flag 2014|2014 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 3,335 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron.
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2015|2015 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 2,913 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2016|2016 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 5,450 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2017|2017 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 2,595 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2018|2018 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the <strike>eight</strike> nine squadrons in the TIE Corps with 2,478 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron

In 30 ABY (2022), [[Vapen Van'an]] was assigned as Commander of Theta when GN Mitchell stepped down. This solidified Theta's transition to a more multiplayer focused squadron. The squadron never forgot its' roots, still flying the older games, but generally moved toward more PvP and PvE focused.
In 31 ABY, when [[Battlegroup II]] was expanded with the addition of the [[Relentless|ISDII Relentless]], pilots from [[Sigma Squadron]] moved to [[Hammer Squadron]]. After [[Squadron ReMobilization|ReMob]] in 31 ABY, and a brief period aboard the Relentless, the pilots of the new squadron moved back to the Warrior in Theta Squadron.

==Squadron History==

Theta has a long history in the TIE Corps, predated the records listed below. However, the archives that contain this information are encrypted in cold storage.

===Reactivation===
Jarek La'an took Command of Theta squadron when it was reactivated in the third month of 22 ABY (March 2014). The squadron was filled with transferred members of [[Lambda Squadron]]. In that first year, Theta took first place in Raise the Flag. They continued this tradition for 4 more years, winning RtF through 2018. As the years went on, some of the more veteran players with significant experience in the single player games started moving to the reserves. In 28 ABY (2020), [[High Admiral|HA]] [[Pete Mitchell]] took command of Theta Squadron. During his tenure, he would see a new generation of pilot join, competitive Squadrons players that originated from a small group of willing pilots called the Cobra TIEs.

===Remobilization===
In 30 ABY (2022), [[Vapen Van'an]] was assigned as Commander of Theta when GN Mitchell stepped down. This solidified Theta's transition to a more multiplayer focused squadron. The squadron never forgot its' roots, still flying the older games, but generally moved toward more PvP and PvE focused.
In 31 ABY, when [[Battlegroup II]] was expanded with the addition of the [[Relentless|ISDII Relentless]], pilots from [[Sigma Squadron]] moved to [[Hammer Squadron]]. After [[Squadron ReMobilization|ReMob]] in 31 ABY, and a brief period aboard the Relentless, the pilots of the new squadron moved back to the Warrior in Theta Squadron.

COOA

2023-10-07T21:35:18Z

Vapen Vanman: Removed retired COOA, added a Former COOA header

'''Combat Operations Officer Assistant''' helps the [[Combat Operations Officer]] in their duties, primarily focused on processing legions for the [[TIE Corps]].

== Duties & Description ==

According to the [[TIE Corps Pilot Manual]], each TIE Corps Admiralty Board member and EH Command Staff Member is allowed to appoint Assistants that may serve them by fulfilling parts of their duties.

The [[Combat Operations Officer]] currently has 5 appointed Assistants, who mainly support the Combat Operations Officer by processing the submitted Multiplayer match screens of the TIE Corps members for [[Legion of Combat]] and [[Legion of Skirmish]].

As this is not a full time job, the Combat Operation Officer Assistants (COOA) fulfill their main duty in another active position within the TIE Corps. Usually the COOA are actual [[Flight Member]], [[Flight Leader]] or [[Squadron Commander]] in their main position. But even [[Commodore]] have been COOA in the past.

The duties of a COOA is quiet demanding and goes beyond the efforts of a typical member of the TIE Corps. Still being appointed as COOA is a privilege. Depending on the effort and quality of a COOA's duty fulfillment he may be granted awards usually unavailable for normal line members.

=== Current Responsibilities ===
* processing of [[Legion of Combat]] submissions;
* processing of [[Legion of Skirmish]] submissions;
* keeping track of processed submissions;
* support for MP competitions/events if needed;
* additional duties as assigned by the [[Combat Operations Officer]];

== Currently serving as COOA: ==
 
[[Colonel]] [[Highlander]] 
[[Major]] [[Colo Delste]] 
[[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[Vapen Van'an]] 
[[Colonel]] [[Miles Prower]] 
[[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Therj'en'nuruodo]]

==Past Assistants==
[[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[LegionX]]

Warrior

Vapen Vanman: /* Unit Awards */ added 2023

The Imperial-II Star Destroyer ''Warrior'' is home to TIE Corps [[Wing II]] and the flagship of [[Battlegroup II|Battlegroup II]] within the First Recon Division. The battlegroup is commanded by the [[Commodore]], currently [[Admiral (TIE Corps)|Admiral]] [[Marenta]].

==History==
===Construction and the Early Days: 8 BBY– 4 ABY===
The keel of the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer SD-KDY-42 was laid down at the Kuat Drive Yards in 8 BBY; one of sixteen ISD hulls that commenced construction in Batch Aleph-2 under then-Moff Tarkin’s expansion of the Navy’s destroyer fleet. Construction of SD-KDY-42 was completed in 16 BBY with shake-down trials completed the following year. In 5 BBY, SD-KDY-42 was officially named the ISD-II Warrior by Admiral Demetrius Zaarin, alongside the Thunderer, Implacable and Stalwart from the same Batch.

[[File:KuatDriveYards.jpg|thumb|300px|left|]]

The Warrior’s first assignment was to Battlegroup Omar, under command of Captain Tobias Raya, where she performed protective duties of the system’s TIE fighter research and production facilities. Despite the rare pirate incursion and odd scouting mission into neighbouring systems, this would prove a largely uneventful tour for Captain Raya and the rest of the Battlegroup. The momentous, galaxy-shaking events taking place elsewhere Corewards passed by the Omar system with only holonet mentions of the destruction of the first Death Star at the hands of terrorist dissidents.

The relative calm of the system was shattered in 4 ABY, when turncoat Grand Admiral Zaarin – the same flag office who named the Warrior, arrived in system with a fleet to destroy the TIE fighter production facilities. The Battlegroup was outnumbered and outmatched – Zaarin completely destroyed his targets, but not without taking losses. The ensuing fleet engagement saw the destruction of two destroyers, six medium hulls and numerous lighter craft. The Warrior itself did not escape unscathed, suffering heavy hull damage and the loss of over half of its fighter and bomber complement. With Omar lost and the Battlegroup in tatters, the Warrior’s Captain gave the order for the ship to flee Corewards in the hope of salvation.

===New Galaxy Order: 4 ABY – 10 ABY===
It took four months for the Warrior to finally limp into the rings of the Kuat Drive Yards for much needed repair and reconstitution. But the Warrior came back to a galaxy in turmoil. The Emperor was dead – slain according to the rumours by his own acolyte, the dread Darth Vader who himself then vanished in the aftermath of the second Death Star’s destruction.

The terrorists responsible for setting the galaxy aflame then schemed to set themselves up as the so-called New Republic, claiming authority over all worlds. The Imperial fleet was in disarray, with Sector Admirals falling back to their own fiefdoms and enclaves. Other Imperial Admirals, sensing the impending chaos, grabbed what they could before setting themselves up as Warlords in their own right. Barely two weeks into a fraught repair schedule, the Warrior received orders to join Admiral Treuten Teradoc in the Centares system, the hub of the Maldrood sector where he was establishing his own dominion. Captain Raya refused, citing the lack of communication and confirmation of orders from High Command on Imperial Centre. A day later, under the guise of a routine resupply shuttle, a squad of Stormtroopers boarded the Warrior, breached the ship’s command bridge and gunned down Raya. His XO, Commander Doon, promptly dropped docking anchors and set course for Centares.

On arrival in Centares, the Warrior was quickly absorbed into High Admiral Teradoc’s growing fleet. A new Captain was installed, Rear Admiral Kari Bosch and the hangars took delivery of new fighter craft including a complement of 12 TIE Advanced.

[[File:ISDWarriorWallpaper.jpg|thumb|300px|right|]]

Teradoc promptly put Bosch to task; the Warrior spearheaded Teradoc’s expansion in the wider Maldrood Sector and saw action in numerous fleet engagements with Rebel forces attempting to bring the Warlord to heel. The most significant action took place in 5 ABY over the skies of Togoria, which had joined Teradoc’s Greater Maldrood hegemony the previous year. A large conquering Rebel force engaged the system defence fleet; the Warrior and accompanying fleet of four Destroyers was already en route to consolidate Teradoc’s grip on the system when it emerged from hyperspace into a full-scale engagement already underway. The action lasted for over 18 hours; both sides suffered horrific casualties. Two Star Destroyers were lost with all hands although the Warrior itself suffered only minor damage and the loss of 27 fighters. The Rebels were driven off with a bloodied nose and Togoria was saved.

By 8 ABY, Teredoc's growing rivalry with fellow Warlord, Grand Admiral Zsinj, had erupted into full-scale conflict and for the first time, the guns of the Warrior fired on fellow Imperials. High Admiral Teradoc was growing ever increasingly paranoid and Grand Admiral Thrawn’s failed push for Imperial reclamation in 9 ABY only spurred on Teradoc’s delusions of threat. Bosch, a native of the political power plays of Coruscant, began to grow concerned for the safety of his own position and crew.

===A New Hope: 10 - 30 ABY===
Unbeknownst to the squabbling Warlords of the Core, in the far reaches of the Outer Rim an Imperial Warlord had been slowly, quietly, consolidating his own power and authority; Grand Admiral [[Ronin]]. Headquartered in the Aurora System, Ronin had amassed a considerable powerbase of fleets and industrialised planets, staying above the bickering of the Imperial Remnant and keeping Palpatine’s New Order alive.

In 10 ABY, High Admiral [[Kawolski]] was appointed as Executive Officer of Ronin’s Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet. Kawolski was an Imperial Academy classmate of Admiral Bosch. A message was sent to Bosch; it spoke of an opportunity to be part of something close to the Imperial glory of old, absent of politics and power struggles. Towards the close of that year, during a routine visit to one of Teradoc’s supplicant planets, the Warrior suffered a hyperdrive mishap and never emerged from hyperspace.

Bosch had made his play and transferred his loyalty and ship to Grand Admiral Ronin. The Warrior and her complement of crew and fighters was gladly received. Bosch’s first assigned was as lead Destroyer in Battlegroup V, part of the Auroran Homeguard. Not the most glamorous of assignments, but ship needed time to develop trust on both sides.

In 18 ABY, the Strike Fleet underwent significant restructure. By now, Bosch had been promoted and appointed Moff of the Hyperion System. Grand Admiral Ronin had retreated to the monastical life on Aurora and Grand Admiral [[Rapier]] now led the Fleet.
High Admiral [[Frodo March]] oversaw the reassignment of the Warrior to the First Recon Division’s Battlegroup II. With the move came a change to the ship’s fighter complement; [[Wing II]] now had a diverse range of craft to enable the Warrior’s new mission: Deep Space Depredation. These changes were not all without rancor. The Warrior’s crew had grown complacent with extended Homeguard duty and its new mission needed their edge sharpened. Admiral March, his tasking of overseeing the changes accomplished moved on, and Vice Admiral [[Plif]] took over reigns. In a bid to shake off the lethargy and regain the Warrior’s fighting spirit, the ship undertook several deep space offensive strikes against Rebel holdings. The Warrior performed beyond expectations and solidified its reputation as a hard-hitting ship with an exemplary crew.

Over the next few years, the Warrior produced a number of first-class commanding officers who went on to higher echelons within the Fleet, including future TIE Corps Commanders, Admirals [[Pete Mitchell]] and Plif. In 29 ABY, freshly minted Rear Admiral [[Zekk Terrik]], took command of the Warrior. Terrik, having proven himself as a ferocious pilot and CO of [[Sin Squadron]], was tasked by Fleet Admiral Plif to bring the Warrior to the forefront of the Fleet’s expansion into the Unknown Regions.

After Rear Admiral [[Zekk Terrik]]'s turbulent departure from the Commodore position, that left the ISDII Warrior in need of new direction. Sin Squadron once again provided the person who would take over the WarCOM, High Admiral [[Mordechi Wolfe]], who would lead the Warrior in [[Raise the Flag]] for 2021. After some months of leadership, the High Admiral decided that it was once again time to retire and left the position open.

===A New Order: 31 ABY - Current===

In a series of very odd circumstances, Vice Admiral [[Marenta Jean]] assumed the role of Commodore in 30 ABY, right before [[Imperial Storm]] IV, leading the Warrior to victory over the other two Battlegroups. Over her tenure, the Warrior saw new Commander step in, experimental squadron sizes, and many improvements to paperwork and moral. As [[Imperial Storm]] V approached, newly promoted Admiral Marenta, passed the reigns to the next BGCOM.

[[Rear Admiral]] JetMech was appointed captain of Battlegroup II and the Warrior in Imperial Storm V and shortly promoted to Battlegroup Commander.

==Squadron History==

Theta has a long history in the TIE Corps, predated the records listed below. However, the archives that contain this information are encrypted in cold storage.

===Reactivation===
Jarek La'an took Command of Theta squadron when it was reactivated in the third month of 22 ABY (March 2014). The squadron was filled with transferred members of [[Lambda Squadron]]. In that first year, Theta took first place in Raise the Flag. They continued this tradition for 4 more years, winning RtF through 2018. As the years went on, some of the more veteran players with significant experience in the single player games started moving to the reserves. In 28 ABY (2020), [[High Admiral|HA]] [[Pete Mitchell]] took command of Theta Squadron. During his tenure, he would see a new generation of pilot join, competitive Squadrons players that originated from a small group of willing pilots called the Cobra TIEs.

===Remobilization===
In 30 ABY (2022), [[Vapen Van'an]] was assigned as Commander of Theta when GN Mitchell stepped down. This solidified Theta's transition to a more multiplayer focused squadron. The squadron never forgot its' roots, still flying the older games, but generally moved toward more PvP and PvE focused.
In 31 ABY, when [[Battlegroup II]] was expanded with the addition of the [[Relentless|ISDII Relentless]], pilots from [[Sigma Squadron]] moved to [[Hammer Squadron]]. After [[Squadron ReMobilization|ReMob]] in 31 ABY, and a brief period aboard the Relentless, the pilots of the new squadron moved back to the Warrior in Theta Squadron.

==Squadron Achievements==

__NOEDITSECTION__
'''Vapen Van'an''' is an officer in the [[Emperor's Hammer]] holding the rank of [[Lieutenant Colonel]]. He serves as the [[Squadron Commander]] of [[Theta Squadron]] in [[Wing II]] aboard the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer [[Warrior|''Warrior'']] and [[COOA|Combat Operations Officer Assistant]] (COOA) for the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[TIE Corps]].
==Early Life==
===Childhood===
Vapen was born on Balosar in 2 ABY. As a young boy, his parents were both caught up in the Balo mushroom trade, leaving him with a lonely childhood, but also allowing him the freedom to explore his city and planet on his terms. This encouraged his free spirit, rebelliousness, and a bit of the legendary Balosar selfishness. Eventually his parents were both caught by the New Republic for dealing death sticks, leaving him alone on the planet at the age of 13.

===Young Adulthood===
After both his parents were imprisoned, he became involved in the same thing that had separated him from his parents: the balo mushroom trade. He began harvesting, eventually worked up to planetary transportation and to his dream job-Inter Planetary Transportation. He got to pilot a starship loaded with product throughout the galaxy. Until 25 ABY, Vapen was an elusive mushroom transporter, known for his knack at being able to get in and out of the mission target without being spotted.

Near the end of the year, Vapen was arrested by the New Republic for selling balo mushrooms and sentenced to 5 years. His jailtime helped him to avoid most of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Finding out about the battles he missed gave him a bit of relief, but also inspired a desire to find out about combat and the experiences he heard about from some of his fellow prisoners. His cellmate was a member of an Imperial offshoot called the [[Emperor's Hammer]] and that a pilot of his caliber would fit in with the [[TIE Corps]]. In 30 ABY, upon his release, Vapen fell back into some of his old ways and contacts. After a close call with the Republic which could have lead to more jailtime, he decided to seek out the group his old cellmate told him about. If not simply to get back at the government that had imprisoned him (wrongfully in his opinion).

=== Early Career ===
After pirating his way through the galaxy, Vapen found his way to the Imperial Remnant, the [[Emperor's Hammer]](EH). He began his service to the EH in the [[TIE Corps]] aboard the [[Warrior|Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer ''Warrior'']] assigned to [[Rho Squadron]] where he piloted a TIE Interceptor.

==== Rho ====
While in Rho, he served as [[Flight Member]] for three months under the commandership of [[Fr0Zen]]. Under Fr0Zen's leadership, Vapen captained Rho's team for Chalquila Cup II, where the team would take first place. In Rho, Vapen spent a brief time as [[Flight Leader]], until moving up to Squadron Executive Officer when [[Westric Davalorn]] took command of the squadron.

==== Theta ====
After a month in the XO position for Rho, the commandership of [[Theta Squadron]] became open and in May of 2022 under Battlegroup II Commander, [[Vice Admiral]] Marenta, Vapen took command of Theta. In his first year, Vapen became very loyal to Theta, helping build the squadron through [[Raise the Flag 2022]], with a strong performance helping the Warrior to second place. From there, the squadron went on to help the Fleet in the final battle with the [[Ishtari]] in [[Imperial Storm|Imperial Storm V]] to destroy the bug threat. Theta's membership slightly dwindled between Imperial Storm and [[Squadron ReMobilization]] in 31 ABY (2023), however Theta was still able to put up good numbers for the event. They unlocked the ability to change their squadron objective and ships, but elected not to for the reason that the squadron was effective and enjoyed their current assignment.

'''Battlegroup II''' is a naval battlegroup of the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet under the command of the [[TIE Corps|TIE Corp's]] First Recon Division. Battlegroup II was reactivated the tenth month of 30 ABY to include the [[Warrior|ISDII Warrior]] and her associated squadrons and ships. In the fourth month of 31 ABY, the [[Relentless|ISDII Relentless]] was added to BGII's forces after a series of encounters with a hostile alien species, the [[Ishtari]].

[[file:BGII Banner.png|760px]]

=History=

Battlegroup II was formed under the Command of Admiral [[Marenta Jean]] in October of 30 ABY (2022) as battlegroups saw their return to the TC at large. This change persisted until the need for more ships of the First Recon Division arose. In that time, [[Rear Admiral]] [[JetMech]] had assumed command of the BG during the fleetwide [[Imperial Storm|Imperial Storm V]] in 31 ABY.
Shortly thereafter, [[Admiral|AD]] [[Marenta Jean]] returned to the Battlegroup commander role as JetMech stepped back to the Flight Lead Role in [[Theta Squadron|Theta]]. She is still currently serving as BGCOM.

When the Relentless was added to BGII's forces, members of Sigma Squadron elected to move to the Relentless, opening [[Hammer Squadron]]. The addition of another Star Destroyer to the BGs happened just after the fleet (excluding the only undamaged ship, the Warrior) was forced to Tusorix for repairs. During this time, the Warrior was tasked with guarding the spaceport where the fleet was being repaired.

=Subordinate Units=

The battlegroup is comprises of two ''Imperial II''-class Star Destroyer and their respective space superiority lines.

==Squadron History==

Theta has a long history in the TIE Corps, predated the records listed below. However, the archives that contain this information are encrypted in cold storage.

===Reactivation===
Jarek La'an took Command of Theta squadron when it was reactivated in the third month of 22 ABY (March 2014). The squadron was filled with transferred members of [[Lambda Squadron]]. In that first year, Theta took first place in Raise the Flag. They continued this tradition for 4 more years, winning RtF through 2018. As the years went on, some of the more veteran players with significant experience in the single player games started moving to the reserves. In 28 ABY (2020), [[General|GN]] [[Pete Mitchell]] took command of Theta Squadron. During his tenure, he would see a new generation of pilot join, competitive Squadrons players that originated from a small group of willing pilots called the Cobra TIEs.

===Remobilization===
In 30 ABY (2022), [[Vapen Van'an]] was assigned as Commander of Theta when GN Mitchell stepped down. This solidified Theta's transition to a more multiplayer focused squadron. The squadron never forgot its' roots, still flying the older games, but generally moved toward more PvP and PvE focused.
In 31 ABY, when [[Battlegroup II]] was expanded with the addition of the [[Relentless|ISDII Relentless]], pilots from [[Sigma Squadron]] moved to [[Hammer Squadron]]. After [[Squadron ReMobilization|ReMob]] in 31 ABY, and a brief period aboard the Relentless, the pilots of the new squadron moved back to the Warrior in Theta Squadron.

==Squadron Achievements==

* In the [[Raise the Flag 2014|2014 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 3,335 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron.
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2015|2015 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 2,913 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2016|2016 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 5,450 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2017|2017 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the eight squadrons in the TIE Corps with 2,595 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron
* In the [[Raise the Flag 2018|2018 Raise the Flag]] competition, Theta Squadron took first place among the <strike>eight</strike> nine squadrons in the TIE Corps with 2,478 points, earning the title of the TCCOM’s Own Escort Squadron

__NOEDITSECTION__
'''Vapen Van'an''' is an officer in the [[Emperor's Hammer]] holding the rank of [[Lieutenant Colonel]]. He serves as the [[Squadron Commander]] of [[Theta Squadron]] in [[Wing II]] aboard the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer [[Warrior|''Warrior'']] and [[COOA|Combat Operations Officer Assistant]] (COOA) for the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[TIE Corps]].
==Early Life==
===Childhood===
Vapen was born on Balosar in 2 ABY. As a young boy, his parents were both caught up in the Balo mushroom trade, leaving him with a lonely childhood, but also allowing him the freedom to explore his city and planet on his terms. This encouraged his free spirit, rebelliousness, and a bit of the legendary Balosar selfishness. Eventually his parents were both caught by the New Republic for dealing death sticks, leaving him alone on the planet at the age of 13.

===Young Adulthood===
After both his parents were imprisoned, he became involved in the same thing that had separated him from his parents: the balo mushroom trade. He began harvesting, eventually worked up to planetary transportation and to his dream job-Inter Planetary Transportation. He got to pilot a starship loaded with product throughout the galaxy. Until 25 ABY, Vapen was an elusive mushroom transporter, known for his knack at being able to get in and out of the mission target without being spotted.

Near the end of the year, Vapen was arrested by the New Republic for selling balo mushrooms and sentenced to 5 years. His jailtime helped him to avoid most of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Finding out about the battles he missed gave him a bit of relief, but also inspired a desire to find out about combat and the experiences he heard about from some of his fellow prisoners. His cellmate was a member of an Imperial offshoot called the [[Emperor's Hammer]] and that a pilot of his caliber would fit in with the [[TIE Corps]]. In 30 ABY, upon his release, Vapen fell back into some of his old ways and contacts. After a close call with the Republic which could have lead to more jailtime, he decided to seek out the group his old cellmate told him about. If not simply to get back at the government that had imprisoned him (wrongfully in his opinion).

# Used to recognize short-term bursts of activity, approximately 10 MSE points
#* Short-term burst is defined as being about three days.
# Similar to most merit medals since it would be awarded for many different kinds of activity. Not specialized like the service medals or commendations.
# Should generally be recommended by someone in the pilot’s chain of command.
#* The pilot indulging in several different activity types shouldn’t result in multiple IARs from the same recommender. You could have a CMDR recommend an IAR for one type of activity and the BGCOM a second, but that should be the limit.
# Not a part of the MSE process, and does not deduct from the medal the pilot would earn from a MSE.
# Not to be awarded to a pilot for the same type of activity from any recommender.
#* For example, don’t divide 20 MSE points worth of flying activity between a CMDR and a COM so that they can both award a pilot an IAR.
#* If a pilot has received an IAR for one type of activity, no one should recommend an IAR for that pilot for that same type of activity during the 10 day cooldown.
#* The CMDR might award a pilot for general activity and a BGCOM might also want to award that pilot for some other activity, the 10 day cooldown wouldn’t prevent either of them from recommending an IAR.
# Not to be recommended by the same recommender for any activity for at least 10 days, since the last awarded date.
#* Events like Sausage Week and external MP competitions would be exceptions where whoever is managing the event would recommend the awards
# Not to be used to recognize activity that is already earning another award.
#* For example, the Medal of Instruction is worth 10 MSE points. Earning an MoI shouldn’t also result in the recommendation of an IAR.
#* The Legion of Skirmish and Legion of Combat are obvious exceptions here since they’re awarded for every MP victory and this kind of activity is intended to be included in IAR recommendations
# The recommendation text for the IAR needs to describe the activity being recognized so that the SOO and TCCOM can make an approval determination.
#* Example: recommendation text A: “LT Snuffy completed five IU courses this week: TCCORE, SM/5, WIKI, C/DB, and ISET. Nicely done!”
#** Approved, sufficient detail and activity to earn the award.
#* Example: recommendation text B: “LT Snuffy checked in after I hadn’t heard from him in a while, glad to have him back”
#** Denied, award not intended to recognize ordinary communication.
#* Example: recommendation text C: “LT Snuffy did a really great job this week, proud of him”
#** Denied, insufficient detail.
#* Example: recommendation text D: “LT Snuffy flew a lot this past weekend by completing TIE-TC 1, XWA-TC 1, and flew for 5 LoSs”
#** Approved, sufficient detail and activity to earn the award.
#* Example: recommendation text E: “LT Snuffy recruited CT Sniffy which is a great contribution to the Corps”
#** Denied, the pilot received the MoI for that same activity.
#* Example: recommendation text F: “LT Snuffy installed Star Wars Squadrons and immediately earned his first three LoCs”
#** Denied, insufficient activity to earn the award.

Any questions regarding these guidelines should be directed to the [[Strategic Operations Officer]], [[Fleet Admiral|FA]] [[John T. Clark]].

Theta Crew Chief

__NOTOC__
__NOEDITSECTION__
The Crew Chief for [[Theta Squadron]] works closely with the [[Squadron Commander]] to maintain the fighters, equip them for missions, and general mission readiness for any vehicles or equipment being used by the squadron. This role is critical to the success of the squadron in their Special Insertion and Extraction goals.

==Notable Chiefs==

Due to a loss of records, not much is known about the Crew Chiefs for Theta prior to 30 ABY.

===Lourin Calis===
Lourin began her service to the Empire shortly before the Battle of Endor. She was one of the Ugnaughts that had helped prepare the carbon freezing chamber at Cloud City when the Empire attempted to capture the rebel, Luke Skywalker. She appreciated the work and security the Empire brought to the floating city. In the chaose after Endor, she went looking for safer work in the Outer Rim where she stumbled upon an Imperial Remnant, the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. She worked her way up the ranks from mechanic and got her posting to Theta's Crew Chief a few months before [[Vapen Van'an]] took Command in 30 ABY. After the battle with the [[Ishtari]], she volunteered her services to help repair the rest of the fleet at [[Tusorix]] while the Warrior stood guard. During her absence, [[Mix Amcehnic|Mix]] and [[R2-D7|Nix]] from [[Rho Squadron]] took over the maintenance of Theta's fighters, having worked with Vapen previously during his assignment to Rho. For her help in repairing the fleet, Lourin was awarded the Imperial Service Medal.

The Imperial-II Star Destroyer '''Hammer''' is home to TIE Corps [[Wing I]] and the flagship of [[Battlegroup I]]. The battlegroup is commanded by the [[Battlegroup Commander]], currently [[Admiral (TIE Corps)|Rear Admiral]] [[Genie]].

== History ==

''The history of the ISD-II Hammer was devised as part of the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=3272|Hammer Historians Club] a competition run in 2021 which was won by COL Doyon with his entry below. The runner up for this competition was an entry by [http://www.isdhammer.org/documents/Hammer_History_Kell.pdf|Dorjan Kell].''

The Imperial-class Star Destroyer II Hammer was manufactured in 1 BBY at Kuat Drive Yards. Its crew has joined and trained with it for about 6 standard months, before being placed in the 37th fleet, patrolling the Mid-Rim.

In 0 BBY, the ISD Hammer, under the command of Captain Olin Miurt, participated in its first major operation in the Pacification of the Polia Sector, a region near Naboo. Several attacks occurred on civilian ships in the sector, which prompted the Imperial Navy to send the 37th in the region to defend the Imperial citizens. After 2 months of cat and mouse game, the Imperial fleet managed to trap the pirates responsible for the attacks, destroying them. The ISDII Hammer successfully engaged its TIE against pirate starfighters, and Captain Miurt even had the audacity to get into ship to ship combat, destroying an old Carack Cruiser.

After the Battle of Yavin, the Imperial Fleet was reorganized, and Miurt was promoted to Admiral. Replacing him was Frisia Warten, a young and ambitious Captain from Corellia. The Hammer was then placed under the 12th fleet, patrolling once again the Mid-Rim, but this time near the Hutt sector. For two years, the fleet patrolled the system, fighting periodically against Hutt criminals. The only event of note during that time was the Hammer being dispatched to participate in a relief effort to save Imperial colonists in the Sarriat system, where a giant meteor struck the planet Vell, making it uninhabitable. The Hammer’s stormtroopers helped to reestablish contact with the colonists and evacuate them from the colony.

The Hammer was dispatched to the space station D-34 in the Javin system after the Battle of Hoth, to bring relief to the forces there, who had come under attack by Rebel ships, allied with the local Mugaari pirates.

The EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Fogger later arrived in the system to relieve the Hammer, which remained in the area to assist D-34 in dealing with the sudden increase in enemy activity in the sector.

It was later present in the area of Depot XLS providing support in case the rebels should be too tough to be contained.

In 3 ABY, the 12th fleet was moved in the Parmic system to fight against Admiral Harkov’s forces. Warten, impatient to get noticed by the Imperial High Command, made several bold moves in the campaign, severely crippling the Hammer and her TIE squadrons. The ship had to be repaired at the Kuat Drive Yards, but Warten was finally promoted somewhere else in the Empire.

The Hammer was modified while being under repair to be able to accommodate two prototypes being tested in the Empire, the TIE Defender and the Missile boat. The ship was placed in the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet, under the command of the newly promoted Grand Admiral Ronin. The Hammer fought at the Battle of Endor with the Emperor’s Hammer, where it managed to successfully repulse several attacks by Rebel starfighters, thanks to its complement of TIE Defenders and Missile Boats.

It wasn’t enough to win the battle though, and when the Death Star exploded, along with the death of the Emperor and Lord Vader, the Hammer left the battlefield on its own. Hopefully, Grand Admiral Ronin survived the battle, and he hailed all Imperial ships to follow him in the Outer Rim. The Hammer rejoined with the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet, and is still fighting for the Empire since that day.

The Hammer continues to serve as the flagship of BG I which is now part of the First Recon Division, who recently neutralized the Ishtari threat. Like most ships on the fleet, the Hammer needed major repairs and maintenance, thus headed with the rest of the fleet back to [[Tusorix]] knowing a stalemate with the Ishtari reduced their fleet to a mere 5% once the SSD Avenger conducted a galactic drive-by. The SSD , however, like the Hammer, was crippled so no strength to go further.

Thanks to the Hammer and the rest of the fleet, however, the many people of Idu are probably glad to be out from under the thumb of a predatory expansionist race whose military power has been crippled.

The ''Relentless'' is an Imperial-II Star Destroyer and the host of [[Wing IX]]. She was assigned to [[Battlegroup II]] in 30 ABY and serves alongside the [[Warrior]]. Before serving in Battlegroup II, the Relentless helped with the assault on the [[Ishtari]].

==History==
The Relentless has a long history with the [[TIE Corps]]. Data before 30 ABY is being recovered from long lost holo-records. After being reactivated, proper record collection was re-established.

===Imperial Storm V===
In 30 ABY, when the First Recon Fleet attacked the home system of the [[Ishtari]] in [[Imperial Storm|Imperial Storm V]], the Relentless was called upon to assist with the assault. The Relentless and her Space Superiority Line joined the Warrior and support forces of [[Battlegroup II]]. Despite being damaged and forced to retreat during the battle, the Star Destroyer was a critical part of the assault. After the successful elimination of the bugs, the Relentless was officially assigned to Battlegroup II.

===Joining Battlegroup II===
The Relentless was damaged in the assault on the bugs, returning to [[Tusorix]] for repairs with most of the forces from the [[TIE Corps|TC]]. During repairs and refits that happened during [[Squadron (Re)Mobilization]] in 31 ABY, pilots from [[Sigma Squadron]] transferred to the Relentless and established [[Hammer Squadron]]. Hammer is currently the only active squadron on Wing IX, but as the TC expands, more squadrons are expected to open.

==Order of Battle==

The Relentless is the flagship of Wing IX, which consists of the following:

*TIE Corps Wing IX
**Sword Squadron
**Dagger Squadron
**Crossbow Squadron
**Spear Squadron
**[[Hammer Squadron]]
**Shield Squadron

*Task Force Cruiser Roxanna
**Survey Module

*Victory Class Star Destroyer Rapier
**2 Squadrons

*Modified Immobiliser-418 Cruiser Xanthe

*Assault Frigate Ajax
**2 Squadrons

*Nebulon-B2 Frigate Fogger

*Corellian Gunship Group Morning Star (3 ships)
**1 flight each

*Modified Corvette Group Catapult (3 ships)
**1 flight each

*Arrowhead Squadron
**Transport

*Balista Squadron
**Personnel Transport

*Bullet Squadron
**Utility

'''Battlegroup II''' is a naval battlegroup of the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet under the command of the [[TIE Corps|TIE Corp's]] First Recon Division. Battlegroup II was reactivated the tenth month of 30 ABY to include the [[Warrior|ISDII Warrior]] and her associated squadrons and ships. In the fourth month of 31 ABY, the [[Relentless|ISDII Relentless]] was added to BGII's forces after a series of encounters with a hostile alien species, the [[Ishtari]].

[[file:BGII Banner.png|760px]]

=History=

Battlegroup II was formed under the Command of Admiral Marenta in October of 30 ABY (2022) as battlegroups saw their return to the TC at large. This change persisted until the need for more ships of the First Recon Division arose. In that time, [[Rear Admiral]] [[JetMech]] had assumed command of the BG during the fleetwide [[Imperial Storm|Imperial Storm V]] in 31 ABY.
Shortly thereafter, [[Admiral|AD]] [[Marenta]] returned to the Battlegroup commander role as JetMech stepped back to the Flight Lead Role in [[Theta Squadron|Theta]]. She is still currently serving as BGCOM.

When the Relentless was added to BGII's forces, members of Sigma Squadron elected to move to the Relentless, opening [[Hammer Squadron]]. The addition of another Star Destroyer to the BGs happened just after the fleet (excluding the only undamaged ship, the Warrior) was forced to Tusorix for repairs. During this time, the Warrior was tasked with guarding the spaceport where the fleet was being repaired.

=Subordinate Units=

The battlegroup is comprises of two ''Imperial II''-class Star Destroyer and their respective space superiority lines.

__NOTOC__
__NOEDITSECTION__
The Crew Chief for [[Theta Squadron]] works closely with the [[Squadron Commander]] to maintain the fighters, equip them for missions, and general mission readiness for any vehicles or equipment being used by the squadron. This role is critical to the success of the squadron in their Special Insertion and Extraction goals.

==Notable Chiefs==

Due to a loss of records, not much is known about the Crew Chiefs for Theta prior to 30 ABY.

===Lourin Calis===
Lourin began her service to the Empire shortly before the Battle of Endor. She was one of the Ugnaughts that had helped prepare the carbon freezing chamber at Cloud City when the Empire attempted to capture the rebel, Luke Skywalker. She appreciated the work and security the Empire brought to the floating city. In the chaose after Endor, she went looking for safer work in the Outer Rim where she stumbled upon an Imperial Remnant, the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. She worked her way up the ranks from mechanic and got her posting to Theta's Crew Chief a few months before [[Vapen Van'an]] took Command in 30 ABY. After the battle with the [[Ishtari]], she volunteered her services to help repair the rest of the fleet at [[Tusorix]] while the Warrior stood guard. During her absence, Mix and [[R2-D7|Nix]] from [[Rho Squadron]] took over the maintenance of Theta's fighters, having worked with Vapen previously during his assignment to Rho. For her help in repairing the fleet, Lourin was awarded the Imperial Service Medal.

Ishtari

2023-06-19T04:04:18Z

Vapen Vanman: Tusorix link

__NOTOC__
__NOEDITSECTION__
Not much is left to be known about the mysterious alien species. The little intel the [[TIE Corps]] has received about the Ishtari is that they are a insectoid species that operated in a sort of hive culture that has been raiding systems in the Unknown Regions near G'Rho and Zaadja. As of 31 ABY, thanks to the efforts of the TC, the Ishtari species has been neutralized.

==TIE Corps Encounters==

===Battle of Tusorix===
The First Recon Division encountered the Ishtari for the first time near the planet [[Tusorix]] in 29 ABY during [[Raise the Flag 2021]]. The TC was taking shore leave on the beach-covered planet when the aliens attacked the fleet by surprise, forcing the pilots on the planet to rush back to defend their ships.

After beating back the Ishtari back from the planet, the TC gave chase. They quickly found out that the enemy fighters were weak, barely able to stand up to a single laser, but were replaced instantly by numerous reinforcements.

===Hunting the Hunters===
The First Recon Division decided to chase down the Ishtari, who they learned had been raiding local systems for food and supplies. Splitting up the Dark Brotherhood and the individual Battlegroups split up to investigate the possible destinations of the bugs escape for [[Raise the Flag 2022]]. The results of the scouting mission pointed them to the bug's home system. [[Grand Admiral]] [[Rapier]] decided to bring order and stability to the region by moving the fleet to fight the bugs for one last time.

===On the Offensive===
The TC forces arrived at the ''Assurian Halo'' to free the planets from the insectoids control and hopefully destroy them for good in [[Imperial Storm | Imperial Storm V]]. After a month long campaign full of small battles that slowly chipped away at both the TC and Ishtari forces, the TC was able to push into the core planets of the system. Vicious fighting lasted until the last day, where the TIE Corps eventually proved triumphant.

===Ishtari Neutralized===
The fighting in the Ishtari home system had heavily damaged the vast majority of the TIE Corps' fleet. Every ship had been forced to return to the dockyard at Tusorix for repairs, with the exception of the [[Warrior|ISDII Warrior]]. The Warrior was assigned to guard the dockyard while repairs took place. Extensive scouting missions revealed no sign of the Ishtari and there were no reports from locals. As of 31 ABY (05 30 2023), the Ishtari have been declared extinct.

'''Battlegroup II''' is a naval battlegroup of the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet under the command of the [[TIE Corps|TIE Corp's]] First Recon Division. Battlegroup II was reactivated the tenth month of 30 ABY to include the [[Warrior|ISDII Warrior]] and her associated squadrons and ships. In the fourth month of 31 ABY, the Relentless was added to BGII's forces after a series of encounters with a hostile alien species, the [[Ishtari]].

[[file:BGII Banner.png|760px]]

=History=

Battlegroup II was formed under the Command of Admiral Marenta in October of 30 ABY (2022) as battlegroups saw their return to the TC at large. This change persisted until the need for more ships of the First Recon Division arose. In that time, [[Rear Admiral]] [[JetMech]] had assumed command of the BG during the fleetwide [[Imperial Storm|Imperial Storm V]] in 31 ABY.
Shortly thereafter, [[Admiral|AD]] [[Marenta]] returned to the Battlegroup commander role as JetMech stepped back to the Flight Lead Role in [[Theta Squadron|Theta]]. She is still currently serving as BGCOM.

When the Relentless was added to BGII's forces, members of Sigma Squadron elected to move to the Relentless, opening [[Hammer Squadron]]. The addition of another Star Destroyer to the BGs happened just after the fleet (excluding the only undamaged ship, the Warrior) was forced to Tusorix for repairs. During this time, the Warrior was tasked with guarding the spaceport where the fleet was being repaired.

=Subordinate Units=

The battlegroup is comprises of two ''Imperial II''-class Star Destroyer and their respective space superiority lines.

__NOEDITSECTION__
'''Vapen Van'an''' is an officer in the [[Emperor's Hammer]] holding the rank of [[Major]]. He serves as the [[Squadron Commander]] of [[Theta Squadron]] in [[Wing II]] aboard the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer [[Warrior|''Warrior'']] and [[COOA|Combat Operations Officer Assistant]] (COOA) for the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[TIE Corps]].
==Early Life==
===Childhood===
Vapen was born on Balosar in 2 ABY. As a young boy, his parents were both caught up in the Balo mushroom trade, leaving him with a lonely childhood, but also allowing him the freedom to explore his city and planet on his terms. This encouraged his free spirit, rebelliousness, and a bit of the legendary Balosar selfishness. Eventually his parents were both caught by the New Republic for dealing death sticks, leaving him alone on the planet at the age of 13.

===Young Adulthood===
After both his parents were imprisoned, he became involved in the same thing that had separated him from his parents: the balo mushroom trade. He began harvesting, eventually worked up to planetary transportation and to his dream job-Inter Planetary Transportation. He got to pilot a starship loaded with product throughout the galaxy. Until 25 ABY, Vapen was an elusive mushroom transporter, known for his knack at being able to get in and out of the mission target without being spotted.

Near the end of the year, Vapen was arrested by the New Republic for selling balo mushrooms and sentenced to 5 years. His jailtime helped him to avoid most of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Finding out about the battles he missed gave him a bit of relief, but also inspired a desire to find out about combat and the experiences he heard about from some of his fellow prisoners. His cellmate was a member of an Imperial offshoot called the [[Emperor's Hammer]] and that a pilot of his caliber would fit in with the [[TIE Corps]]. In 30 ABY, upon his release, Vapen fell back into some of his old ways and contacts. After a close call with the Republic which could have lead to more jailtime, he decided to seek out the group his old cellmate told him about. If not simply to get back at the government that had imprisoned him (wrongfully in his opinion).

__NOEDITSECTION__
'''Vaner Van'an''' is an officer in the [[Emperor's Hammer]] holding the rank of [[Major]]. He serves as the [[Squadron Commander]] of [[Theta Squadron]] in [[Wing II]] aboard the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer [[Warrior|''Warrior'']] and [[COOA|Combat Operations Officer Assistant]] (COOA) for the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[TIE Corps]].
==Early Life==
===Childhood===
Vaner was born on Balosar in 2 ABY. As a young boy, his parents were both caught up in the Balo mushroom trade, leaving him with a lonely childhood, but also allowing him the freedom to explore his city and planet on his terms. This encouraged his free spirit, rebelliousness, and a bit of the legendary Balosar selfishness. Eventually his parents were both caught by the New Republic for dealing death sticks, leaving him alone on the planet at the age of 13.

===Young Adulthood===
After both his parents were imprisoned, he became involved in the same thing that had separated him from his parents: the balo mushroom trade. He began harvesting, eventually worked up to planetary transportation and to his dream job-Inter Planetary Transportation. He got to pilot a starship loaded with product throughout the galaxy. Until 25 ABY, Vaner was an elusive mushroom transporter, known for his knack at being able to get in and out of the mission target without being spotted.

Near the end of the year, Vaner was arrested by the New Republic for selling balo mushrooms and sentenced to 5 years. His jailtime helped him to avoid most of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Finding out about the battles he missed gave him a bit of relief, but also inspired a desire to find out about combat and the experiences he heard about from some of his fellow prisoners. His cellmate was a member of an Imperial offshoot called the [[Emperor's Hammer]] and that a pilot of his caliber would fit in with the [[TIE Corps]]. In 30 ABY, upon his release, Vaner fell back into some of his old ways and contacts. After a close call with the Republic which could have lead to more jailtime, he decided to seek out the group his old cellmate told him about. If not simply to get back at the government that had imprisoned him (wrongfully in his opinion).
