Reporting: Brigaider General Rico Stone
Weekly Report #5 - 02.08.2009

--==[OPENING STATEMENTS]==--
Well, another week has come and gone and another week is upon us. We have lots of work to do: Vengeance closed, Redemption filling up, snow is falling, Rebels are dying... And here is the evening news.

--==[NEWS and UPDATES]==--

1. As Report in Emperor's Hammer Weekly Meeting - Saturday, February 7th

--==Hammer's Fist Stormtrooper Legion - "First In, Last Out" - Weekly Report==--
From the Desk of the Hammer's Fist Executive Officer, Brigadier General Rico Stone

1. As reported last week Vengeance Platoon, under the command of Second Lieutenant Zelnar Tenar, was closed down. Troopers from Vengeance are still being moved to Redemption Platoon upon request. About one more week for AWOL and the rest of Vengeance will be moved to the Home Guard.

2. Operation: Cleansing Fire is starting to pick up a little more this week with several MULTIPLAYER (yes, you heard right, MULTIPLAYER... MP) matches coming in. The Judges have been "judging" fiction entries and submitting scores. Full details and the latest at: http://hfxo.fantasy-arts.net/op-cf

3. Multiplayer is going to start up more and more in the Legion. Only thing really needing to change is the thought process that MP is Saber-Only. The Legion is a weapons group and just need to change that mind set. There is a new HF Jedi Academy Server provided by Private Horus Blackheart and we still have a Battlefront II Server provided by Private Dax Corrin. Full details in tomorrow's HFXO Report. We thank both for their service.

4. The Office of the Hammer's Fist Executive Officer has added three new projects to be worked on: two very much needed academy courses (Weekly Report Course and Monthly Evaluation Course) and a promotion program from Private to Sergeant (Sergeant will equal Dark Jedi Knight in the HF) so everyone will know exactly what will be needed to work up the Legion ladder. Full details in tomorrow's HFXO Report.

5. As reported last week the next edition for The Dark Legionnaire - Official Newsletter of the Legion - will not be out until Sunday, March 1st. This will now officially be a bi-monthly newsletter until submissions pick up.

6. As reported last week the Hammer's Fist Executive Officer will be taking a weekend leave from Thursday, February 19th to Sunday, February 22nd. He (ME!) is traveling to Las Vegas, Nevada (America's Playground and Sin City) to take the U.S. Border Patrol Exam and a vacation with his beautiful wife. Commander of Operations, Brigadier General Baron, will probably handle HFXO duties during that time.

7. Congratulations to two of our own, Major General [Zsinj] and Chief Warrant Officer Mordred, to their Emperor's Hammer Command Staff positions of Internet Officer and Training Officer. Don't forget your Legion duties through!

8. Since the Resurrection of the Legion late last year we are just moving forward at an unbelievable pace with several new recruits weekly. All leadership positions are full and operations/competitions are soaring! The Legion is setting the bar high for itself and making clearing it every time.

9. First In, Last Out, the Legion leads the way! Hoorah!

--==FINISHED==--

2. Multiplayer Servers
Horus Blackheart and Dax Corrin are now (or even have been) providing a Jedi Academy and Battlefront II servers. We need to be using them and making good with this donation from our loyal members. (See GAMING/TEAMSPEAK SERVERS below.)

3. Three New HFXO Projects
After looking at weekly reports or even the slack there of weekly reports and also the evaluations that been been coming in the Office of the Hammer's Fist Executive Officer is going to be writing two new Carrida Stormtrooper Military Academy Courses - Weekly Report Course and Monthly Evaluation Course. These courses will become mandatory for all those in leadership positions so we have quality reports and evaluations being put out.

Some might see this as a 'paper pushing' but I ensure you that right now it is very much needed. Reports and evaluations are needed to ensure the smooth running of the Legion. As such they will be getting the special attention they need.

The third project is a new Promotion Guidelines that actually expand upon the basic time requirement structure. From Private to Sergeant (five steps) there will be exactly what will be needed to earn the next promotion and when that is met the Trooper will be able to receive that promotion in a timely manner. Sergeant will be the Legion's equavilent to Dark Jedi Master.

(See PROJECTS for more details)

4. Monthly Evaluations
Redemption Squad and even Platoon Evaluations have come across my desk in a very timely manner I like that. I will be reviewing them shortly and will be passing along my evaluation and recommendations to the Prefect of the Legion by the 15th of the Month (probably before though).

5. Weekly Trivia and Weekly Topic Released
As released on the Hammer's Fist Website

Weekly Trivia and Weekly Topic Released!
XO/BG Rico Stone at February 8, 2009, 9:33 am

Since I, the Executive Officer of the Legion, have been slacking in getting out Weekly Trivia and Weekly Topic I have decided to release the previous FOUR WEEKS of trivia and topics. The only catch is you have until Saturday, 14 February @ 11:59PM EST (2359 EST) to submit them to my inbox.

All the trivia questions and weekly topics are available at: http://hfxo.fantasy-arts.net/op-cf/events.php.

There is a total of 80 points available with bonus win points ready for you Troopers to pick up for Operation: Cleansing Fire! Get to it!

5. Special Note
This is already stated above in "As Reported..." but I would like to say thank you from the entire General Staff to all the Troopers of the Legion that are helping rebuild the Hammer's Fist. When it was first closed down by former Grand Admiral Astatine it was like closing an unfinished book. I felt the same way when the old Infiltrator Wing was merged into the TIE Corps. There is much history to the Legion and the book has been reopened and we are writing the new chapters.

Remember this: First In, Last Out, the Legion leads the way! Hoorah!

--==[OPERATIONS and COMPETITIONS]==--

CURRENTLY RUNNING

Operation Cleansing Fire (http://hfxo.fantasy-arts.net/op-cf)
Start: Saturday, 17 January 2009
End: Saturday, 28 February 2009

The wars between the New Republic and Imperial Remnant are over. Peace has finally come to the galaxy after nearly a half century of fighting. But on the edge of the Tingel Arm and Corporate Sector a new threat is emerging, the face of which is Nom Anor and the Red Knights of Life. This new threat is of grave concern to the Republic, having dispatched Princess Leia Organa Solo to the resolve a conflict between the planets of Rhommamool and Osarian. On the other side of the galaxy, however, in the Outer Rim Territories, Anor is of little concern.

Within the borders of the Emperor's Hammer a different threat is appearing in the form of the Black Fist, led by a mysterious unknown. Already the Hammer's Fist Stormtrooper Legion have clashed with the Black Fist on Carrida II, dealing them a minor, but serious blow. But already new terrorist cells are appearing on Imperial controlled planets.

The Prefect of the Legion, Lieutenant General Keth D'Jek, has dispatched Vengeance and Redemption Platoons to the planet Thor to investigate a possible cell attack in Operation: Cleansing Fire. What they will find is a plot that ties the two ends of the galaxy together in a tangled web of deceit and deception to destroy the New Republic... and the Emperor's Hammer.
