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

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.

  • Bill ("Ronin") asked John ("Cyric") and Bill ("Rapier") to update the EH website "about" and ownership pages with the Internet Officer accordingly.


4) State of the Fleet Report [John ("Cyric")]
  • John ("Cyric") gave a brief update on some recent developments and major changes in the EH including: recent roll-out of the new EH website and Member database, praise for the current Command Staff and their hard work, and merging of the EH Hammer's Fist and Directorate in the Dark Brotherhood due to lack of independent activity despite recent game platforms for their use.


5) EH Trademark - Registration #3868245 was officially registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office on 10/26/10 [Bill ("Ronin")]


6) Report of Emperor's Hammer, Inc. operating costs for 2010-2011 [Bill ("Ronin")]
  • ~$700 for the EH Trademark registration (10/26/10)
  • $25 for annual State of NJ incorporation fee

7) New Business?
  • John ("Cyric") inquired about whether the EH could sell/directly provide for download with Luucas Arts. The Attendees agreed that while this may be something to research further, licensing arrangements would be prohibitive.
  • Bill ("Ronin") related that all new recruits to our SWG EH Guild have to register through the website. Accordingly, Bill ("Ronin") asked Bill ("Rapier") if more user functionality is being worked on. He responded that was on his list of projects once the website was de-bugged. Cosmetic effects, artwork, user enhancements, etc. are pending in 2011.
  • Mark "Mav" asked if the EH was developing anything for downloadable mobile applications. Bill ("Rapier") responded that he was working on a Wiki update as well as a "Facebook-like" application for the EH.
