Greetings, Commandos! Welcome to the first NL for the month of February...and

RSCD Domination League
Battlestats' Week of War
--------------------------

For a week and a half now, activity in the Domination League has soared!
With a current total of 69 matches played, this is definately the greatest amount
of multiplayer activity the fleet has seen in a very long time. Thank you to all who
have signed up and played; I hope it's been an enjoyable experience thus far!

That being said, the Domination League competition will end this Friday, Feb. 7th,
at which point a winning squad will be announced. The scores and standings will all
be wiped, and a new season of the DL will begin one week later(Feb. 14). During
this one week break from the DL, the RS is signed up to participate in Battlestats'
Jedi Outcast Week of War, which will run from Feb. 7th at 2pm EST until Feb. 14th
at 2pm EST. The WoW is a large competition between many different clubs based
out of the zone. For more information on the WoW, visit http://www.battlestats.com
and take a look around. More information will hopefully be on the way soon.

So, although the DL will be ending soon, there will still be something going on to
keep most everyone busy. In the meantime, signup for the DL before it ends and
help out your squad!

Current Squad Standings:
http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/rscd/standings.php

Talon Squad: 1460
Raven Squad: 1225
Shadow Squad: 825
Dragon Squad: 270

To participate, visit the RSCD channel on the Undernet IRC network(#RSCD) and
simply ask around for a match. For more information on connecting to IRC, visit

Outer Rim War II Competition
--------------------------

The final ORW II was this past week. Unfortunately, the RS didnt go out with a bang
as I had hoped it would. We lost both the ground and space battles, but both of
them combined ended in an RS win for the day, and also sealed our victory of
the entire competition. There were a total of 33 points gained through JK/JO
matches this past week, and I'm very proud of the valiant effort. Thanks to all who
participated throughout this event in the past, and I hope you enjoyed it as much
as I did.

#RSCD
--------------------------

Want to communicate with the rest of the RS and RSCD? Get on mIRC, go to an
Undernet server, then go to channel #RS_BAR_AND_GRILL. The RSCD channel
is #RSCD. IRC is a chat server that is the primary communications tool of the
RS, and almost every commando or pilot spends their downtime there between
missions. For more information on how to connect to these RS channels, please
visit http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/irc/. Everyone is welcome, so stop by and
have some fun. Also, check out the main RS Message Board
(http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/bbs/) for the latest happenings in the RS and the
RSCD.

Conclusion
--------------------------

There's still quite a bit going on, as you all can see. We're not exactly up to par
yet, but we're getting there. Let's keep up the activity, and remember: Have fun!
