INTREPID BATTLE GROUP NEWSLETTER - JULY 16TH, 2002
REPORTED BY LGN DELTAN SAVIRI, IBG CO
------------------------------------------------------

Deltan looked out the viewports of his office aboard the Rebel Fist and scanned the small number of freighters moving in to resupply the fleet. The entire IBG flotilla slowly maneuvered through space as a small defensive screen of fighters patrolled. Deltan turned as he heard his doors open. Smiling, he watched as Jon entered his office with a stack of papers as he always seemed to be carrying. "I've never seen anyone so afflicted with a love of hard copy as you, " Deltan joked.

Smirking, Jon plopped the hefty stack of papers on Deltan's desk. "These are the statistics and debriefing information from our last mission. Performance has really increased over the last month. Our pilots must be getting more sim time."

Nodding, Deltan walked over to his desk, sat and pulled the papers over in front of him. "So it appears. Xtremegene seems to have led in kills and Stinger Squadron really took the battle to them. I remember when Stinger was formed. Good to see them getting back on their feet."

Jon nodded, and quietly took a seat in front of Deltan's desk. "On another good note, we've received orders to begin the construction of a permanent base of operations at New Trask. Looks like we are finally going to get a home. A load of freighters are going to be arriving within the week with workers and supplies to begin the initial phases of the construction."

Smiling, Deltan nodded his head. "Good. We've been in need of a permanent station for a while now. It'll be good for our fleet to have someplace they can set in and relax as well. Let me know when the equipment and workers arrive. We'll send along a squadron to clear the way and act as guard once they are here."

"Will do, Sir, "Jon replied. "Will do".

Well, we've had a good increase in activity over the last month. I'm proud of everyone who has come out, participated and have fun. After all, having fun is what we are all about. We are currently exprimenting with running the IBG Melee all weekend. This has seemed to work well so far, so let's hope it will continue as such. If you have any feedback, feel free to email any of the IBG Fleet Command Staff. We are always looking for feedback and new ideas. I am also looking to start up an IBG Interactive Story which will be open to anyone in the IBG.

That is all.
