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
The Emperor's Hammer (formally the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet) is comprised of a senior governing body (the Command Staff) and several subgroups 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.

Line of Succession
In the event that both the Fleet Commander and Executive Officer are unable to fulfill their duties, the Subgroup Commanders 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.
