PREVIOUS MISSION -
Well it's official, we are top Squad for 3.02. Thanks to everyone for your hard work and dedication to making Dragon into the supreme fighting force of the Guardian Wing and one of the top squads in the fleet. Let's try to continue our winning streak with the 3.03 mission!

CURRENT MISSIONS -

RgF 3.03 is due by October 31, 2003 23:59:59 EST. You can download the mission using this link: http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/itoddb/files/RgF3031.tie . Dragon Squadron currently has two reports in, coming from Rasori and myself. This mission is actually pretty fun, and a little different from the last one. Make sure to pay attention to the briefing and you'll do fine. Last mission we had 7 reports out of 8 active pilots, but this time I want to see 100% participation. This is just the mission to do that, as you will be able to get a mission complete on this one if you pay attention! Let's go for two in a row. I actually enjoy awarding medals, so keep giving me a reason to keep doing it!

ACTIVITY REQUIREMENTS -
To be considered active you must complete one of the following:
Fly 3 matches in the Week Of War (WoW), fly the current Renengade Fleet mission (RgF3.03, for example), or fly a fleet-wide Tour Of Duty (TOD) such as Zodiac 103, if it is ever released. Also flying 3 matches in the ICTE will count for activity.Doing two or more is highly recommended, as it will help in the squadron and wing standings. RgF is out, so go fly it!


MISC. INFORMATION -
Chris Horn "Kicks" has written another chapter for the Dragon Squadron Novel! "Dream" can be read here: http://www.geocities.com/daryuszalyncya/Xwing_Novel_cover.html

-ICTE takes place every Saturday at 4pm est on the #outerrim channel of the Undernet. Be sure to come over and do a little flying, and earn merit points while you are at it!
