Introduction

It's Been a busy a slow few week's here in the Hammer's Fist but we are not less than 5 days from the Launch of SW Battlefront and things are beginning to pick up. The biggest new was the release of the new AP promotion system which we can now use to make sure each member gets there just rewards. remember the more points you earn the higher you go!

Along with this there have been a flurry of promotions and medals given out which I will detail later on in the report. We were able to give out what I believe is the last of the Battle Team medals converted to Fist medals.

Report Fiction By Len Eode & Wilhelm Drachen

As the Squad Leaders were leaving the mission briefing, Drachen shouted after Delta’s Squad Leader, ”Corporal Eode, one moment please. Can you stay for a moment?”

The Corporal stopped dead in his tracks and walked back to the XO and waited for what he expected to be a secret task when the Drachen looked at him with the most odd look on his face and said, “Corporal I just received your request to change your Squad’s name to Eode’s Cows?” I’d this correct or or you making a mockery of the Legion?”

“Correction sir, they are Eopies,” the squad leader replied proudly. The Brig General now clearly looking annoyed at the squad leader “So what you are wanting me to believe is that you and your ‘squad’ are proud to be the fighting cows? Excuse me Eopies?!”

Looking the XO dead in the eyes the NCO replied, “Yes sir, we may not be fancy Aklays or Rancors, but we still get the job done.” “Oh really? You want to know the last time I even heard of a Eopie it was when i was ordering a sandwich at a Tatooine cantina! You're telling me you are naming your Squad after luncheon meat!”

“Well sir, before I was in the Stormtrooper Corps, I did work in an eatery and we served many eopie sandwiches.” The XO even more amazed that this Corporal with him, “You’re INSANE or drunk, and I am not sure which Corporal!” The corporal smiled, “Thank you sir. We aim to please.”

The XO was for the first time was speechless at the sheer insanity of this conversation. He took a moment and tried one last attempt to regain some sanity in this subject and maybe point out the fatal flaw in this Corporal plan. “Before I approve this ‘request’ of yours I must know, has the full squad approved this name change. I can’t approve such a request without the full squad signing off on it?”

The corporal sighed, “Sure, I mean Private Kilgore was the one suggested it and the other two eagerly approved!” “Really?!” Again the XO is found dumbstruck. “Yes, SIR!” Len eagerly said with a big grin

“Well….” barely able to get the next words out of his mouth, Drachen reluctantly said, “Then I have no choice but to approve this insanity.” Len Eode nodded and replied, “Thank you sir. I’m sure the others will be thrilled.”

From the back of the command center a voice called out, “Did he approve it? I couldn’t hear.” “What the hell are you all doing in here!! This is a private conversation, Corporal! Explain your squad’s action!” “Doing what we do best, sir. Remaining unnoticed, like cows in a field.” The XO now boiling with anger “Well corporal get you and your COWS out of my sight before I turn you all into next week's lunch!” Len saluted, “Right away sir!” Spiffy stood up and waved, “Bye Mr. General Drachen sir.”

Drachen interrupts sharply “GET OUT of my office NOW!!!” After the room was finally cleared out Wilhelm reached under his desk and retrieve a bottle of Scotch and didn’t even bother with a glass and took a long, long drink from the bottle… “My god! They really want to be cows!”
