Hammer's Fist Field Manual

ACTIVITIES

The Hammer's Fist is a group focused on the life of a Stormtrooper, which is a foot soldier in the Imperial military. The Hammer's Fist in particular is a group of highly elite troopers fighting in the name of the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet. This means our primary activity involves the "first person shooters" and roleplaying.

Gaming
The Hammer's Fist was created for the FPS game genre. At its birth, there were many who wanted to join the Emperor's Hammer but did not own or have interest in flight sims or the TIE Fighter game. Today, the Hammer's Fist supports several games set in the Star Wars universe and involving ground combat.

Currently the Hammer's Fist supports the following games:

Star Wars: Battlefront
Star Wars: Battlefront II
Star Wars Battlefront (aka Battlefront 3)
Battlefront Base Command
Star Wars: Republic Commando
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Team Fortress 2
Star Wars: Empire at War (both with and without the Forces of Corruption expansion)
Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds
Star Wars: Commander
Star Wars: Uprising
Star Wars: the Old Republic

Roleplaying and Fiction
The Hammer's Fist also has a strong following of members who roleplay as Stomtroopers in the Star Wars universe. This can be accomplished through email or message board run ons and individual fiction.

Graphics and other Artistic Endeavors
Creating original HF-oriented graphics is always a way to contribute to the Legion. It does not matter if you think you are the worst artist in the world, there is never enough art in the Legion. We want you!

Operations and Competitions
All of the above activities can be done as individual efforts 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 Legion-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. Operations are always run out of the Commander of Operations' office.

Competitions are more local events. They are usually at the battalion level or below, pitting company against company or detachment against detachment. Inter-fire team competitions can settle who is the best team in a detachment. Competitions may be run by anyone and only require approval by the Commander of Operations so they know what is happening in the Legion.
