Pilots of the Intrepid Battle Group. I am General Adam Fene, better known as "Vender", Commanding Officer of the Intrepid Battle Group. I will be writing today's News Letter.

I. News
-----------------------------

1) The XWA Week of War at Battlestats.com is starting up tomorrow, October 25th. It's encouraged that to all members interested to participate, though is not required. Participating in this event can earn you RS merits, awards, not to mention gaining Multiplayer experience in XWA. Other information about this can be located in this News Letter below in the section entitled "XWA WoW".

2) I'm Gen. Adam Fene, the new IBG CO. I gave all of you a 'hello' speech earlier, so you should remember me.

3) I will be extending the deadline on the current IBG/R2F mission to November 30th. This is to give me a little time to organize things. Trust me, it's to everyone's benefit.

4) A new system of communication has been established with the XWA Academy, hopefully the graduating/placement process will become a little quicker.

5) The Outer Rim Wars are starting up again this Saturday! The new competition is deemed "ORW II", for more information visit: http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/outerrim2

6) An IBG IO, and a CO for the Domination League are needed after Wes's disappearance. Applications are to be sent to the whole Fleet CS, that is vender@hotpop.com, varmer@gmx.net and jon@skavanger.freeserve.co.uk. Remember to include your curriculum and experience in the RS, any interesting skills and the usual stuff.

7) Draco Squadron has no CO or XO, Draco Squadron has been contacted on the matter. Suitable candidates are being searched for within the squadron until we start looking outside of it first.
