-- News

1. IBG Uniforms have been redone, as earlier announced. They're a darker red, with black sash and gold trim. If your primary is IBG, I suggest taking a look at your uniform.

2. This month's ITOD mission has come to a close, we've had 50% of the fleet report on it this time. Much improved since last time, and the time I took over this fleet. Congratulations everyone, job well done. I hope it only gets better and better!

3. I'm working on getting the IBG Campaign up and going, so far there are about 6-7 people that have signed up. A lot of them so far have found the information on this new Campaign worthy of their time as they help develop it with me. Thanks to all those who are giving that time.

4. Merits have been updated, for the most part. Please check yours out;
any complaints please tell your respective Commanding Officers.

5. On the Rebel Squadrons BBS, General section, it was noted by Corran Horn Jr. that it should be everyone's responsibility to try and recruit new blood into their fleets and Rebel Squadrons. If you know anyone that might find being in the RS a joy, try and get'm in! :)

6. And oh yeah, since barely anyone really completed this mission the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Wings were awarded in a scatterly fashion across the killboard. Remember, you can only earn those medals if you completed the mission.
