SotRS Address 5-8-02
Greetings Members of the Rebel Squadrons! “:)
Welcome to the latest addition of the State of the Rebel Squadrons Address. For most of us, the summer season is in sight. For the majority of members of this club, that means the school year is rapidly coming to an end or already has – making this one of the busiest times of the year with projects, exams, and finals wrapping up the school term. However, the Rebel Squadrons endures and much has been accomplished.
Since the last such address and over the course of the preceding month, final touches have been made on an abundance of projects that the club is already benefiting from and enjoying. On one side of the spectrum the Executive Staff is continually hard at work developing new undertakings ranging from club vs. club competitions to roster database enhancements. On the other, High Command is currently revising the written policies this club is founded upon.
To be more precise, the Executive Staff has completed a number of projects. Compliments of Vice Admiral Shikkie Kaaran, RSXO, the new Academy Database is online and functioning and is now at the disposal of cadets and officers of the Academy staff. Armed with an assortment of features, the RSA DB should enhance the jobs of Undergraduate/Graduate commanders and trainers to be much easier and in turn, much more efficient. Consequently, the benefits this new database will bring should go a long way in increasing the percentage of graduating cadets in every unit of the Academy. Also created by VA Kaaran is a new feature on the regular RS Roster Database that allows officers to assign tasks to the members under their command. By allowing commanders to give their subordinates work orders, this feature should also go a long way in keeping us on task and more efficient with our own work assignments and responsibilities.
From the Internet Office, every Executive Office website that needed a new webpage design has one completed. This includes new websites for the Department of Internal Affairs, Office of External Affairs, Office of Historical Records, Internet Office, and the Executive Officer. Currently, the Internet Office is engaged in working with each Fleet to complete all the Fleet template designs mentioned in previous announcements. Presently, the Retribution Fleet (which won a website award at http://communications.outpost10f.com/~external/awards/swwinners.htm), Aurora Force, and Rebel Squadrons Academy have completed websites, having switched over from their old site to the new Fleet template designs. Webpages for the PBF, RF, and RgF are currently being transformed by their own staff members.
Other big news from the Executive Staff comes from the Operations Office. Lt. Commander Isoldur “Dragon” Cauthon was appointed the Operations Officer with Brigadier General Sienn Sconn and Lieutenant General Boid “Gambit” Reaves serving as Assistant Operation Officers. More can be found in the detailed report provided below and from previous announcements, but over the past month, the Operations Office has accomplished much. The website, although still not complete, is about 90% done. There is a working events calendar with a listing of all known competitions within the Rebel Squadrons. For future purposes, please keep the Operations Office informed of such events so that they may be displayed on this calendar. Also created has been an RS Merit System for multiplayer matches. And most importantly, although ORW II discussion continues with many other SW clubs, the RS is currently engaged in an Inter-Club Melee against the Star Vipers (www.starvipers.org) and New Republic 5th Fleet (www.newrepublic.de), which is coordinated through the Operations Office.
Lastly, the Medals Officer, Brigadier General Ben Jynzer is hard at work revising the Rebel Squadrons uniforms system with new designs and medal placements. Later, these new graphics will be coded into the RS Roster Database so that every member’s uniform will be automatically updated as their profile changes (rank advancement and medal gains).
In High Command news, the push by HC to overhaul and revise the Bylaws to turn the Bylaws into a document that is more forcibly the written will of High Command and to bring it back to its original intent of being a guideline for the entire club to follow and not the supreme law in this club continues. As mentioned in previous announcements, initial revisions are based on the recommendations of a small committee of HC members, and then presented to the main body of HC for approval or rejection. The small revision committee consists of veteran HC members Vice Admiral Kaz Falcion and General Indy Bridger, former Fleet Commanders Fleet Admiral Dave Trebonious-Astoris and Admiral Castor Efrata-Landis, and myself.
With all of these changes and improvements taking place or just being completed, the state of the Rebel Squadrons is very strong and only growing more rapidly each day. However, we can only keep this state of ascent by working together and by making the most out of our time here. With that said, everyone remember to have fun and to enjoy the Rebel Squadrons’ experience!
Like in all SotRS Addresses, you will find a report from every office in the Executive Branch. These reports should give every member a fairly good insight into the day-to-day operations and happenings of this club. The latest HC NF is posted at the end as well. Congratulations to those pilots and commandos that received medals!

Closing
In closing, I want to stress the following points very much, and make it a standard to end with these thoughts. If I drill this into everyone, only positive things can come out of it, but I am afraid by repeating this over and over again it could lose its meaning to you all over time.
Nonetheless, if everyone could really consider these things and follow through with it in their actions, it will always improve the state of the Rebel Squadrons. I would like to remind everyone of the challenge before us. I challenge every member in this club – every Fleet CO, every Wing CO, every Squadron CO, etc - to start working on two things: unity and communication. It all starts with you guys, and everyone knows that. If we all strive for unity, and cultivate an atmosphere of respect, internal relations in this club will improve tenfold. Imagine what we can get accomplished then? Strive to follow HIER! As for communication, I dare every person in this club to take more initiative, keep your people up to date, write more emails, and reward those where credit is due. Keep communication strong! If I can try harder in these attributes, then so can you. And if that can happen, we can make this club what we want it to be – together.
May the Force be with you and may the pride and honor of the Rebel Squadrons carry on in all of you!
Respectfully submitted,
Vice Admiral Rahj Tharen,
