  • [Bill ("Ronin")] stated that the domain registration for emperorshammer.org is coming due and will be renewed for a 3 years. Mark ("Mav") suggested using more social media and Bill ("Rapier") noted that the EH website is already linked via Facebook & Twitter.

A suggestion was that someone else could take over the Ventrilo channel for example.


5) EH Trustees
  • Matt ("Obraik") reported that he had recently spoken with Matt ("Obraik") in SWG. Matt ("Obraik") will be taking a break from Star Wars gaming after SWG closes on 12/15/11. Accordingly, all Attendees present voted unanimously to remove Matt ("Obraik") as an EH Trustee for 2012. If he wants to return at a later date, he can be reconsidered for Trusteeship.
  • Bill ("Rapier") is also going to appoint an Executive Officer (XO) who would likely be considered/nominated for Trustee in the next year or so.


6) New Business
  • Mark ("Mav") asked if the old TIE series games could be downloaded off a commercial server (i.e., Steam) or if the EH could host a server. A discussion ensued regarding probable licensing fees which would be required to be issued by LucasArts and that no public download of the old game program is available. The Attendees agreed to table this discussion until the next EH Trustees meeting in 2012.


7) Old Business - none


8) Fleet Report - Bill ("Rapier")

9) Trustees Q&A
  • Mark ("Mav") suggested that the EH consider supporting Clone Wars in the Fringe Subgroup. Although the Attendees agreed that the game is intended for a younger audience, there was some discussion that this game platform may generate future recruits for the EH so we will keep an eye on the game's development.
