Greetings Boys and Girls and welcome to this months STC Newsletter.

COMMAND STAFF VACANCIES:

Unfortunatly, I have had to remove Grifter from command of Paladin Squadron due to inactivity. This is not something I take any pleasure in doing, or something I do lightly. I like to think I support all my command staff, all I ask in return is that they do thier best to improve this wing of ours. So I am now taking applications for Paladin Squadron CO. Anyone interested, whatever thier rank can email me at RS_Jester@hotmail.com. Please include any previous command experience, a breif statement of why you want the job, and any ideas you may have for making the STC stronger. The only pre-requisite for this job is that you own a copy of Galactic Battlegrounds.

STC BATTLE NIGHT:

The STC Battle Nights have got off to a slow start, but those who turn up and play all have fun. I really encourage all STC members to turn up and give it a go. You are here to play games after all. Battle Nights are every Friday night from 6pm-12 EST in the undernet room #RSSTC.

WEEK OF WAR.

The next BSC GB/CC Week of War starts on the 14th of February.
