Competition Guidance
Competitions can be submitted via the the Management Panel on your TIE Corps profile where you need to add a requisite amount of information about the competition, including start and end dates, medals to be won and a description.
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 battle group 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, for example Legions with a certain number of your own squadron present instead of a flat count of Legions, then it would likely be approved. Again, if in doubt please contact the WO.
When it comes to medals, please remember
- Platinum 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 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 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 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 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-BR 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.

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

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.
