=== Preamble ===
Session XVIII is here and the missions are up. Both missions received an overhaul to fix mission-breaking bugs or to just clean things up, so there should be a notable improvement over the original missions. If you spot any bugs I might have missed, let me know immediately!
If anyone out there is working on an XvT or XWA mission or has one ready to go, be sure to let me know! I'm always looking for new material to use for the monthly missions.
Still looking for someone to fill ye olde Platform XO position. Details are in the Call for Help section.
If you find a bug, please contact me immediately so that it can be fixed! Anyone with suggestions or comments for the newsletter (or platforms) may feel free to contact me via the RS site's private message system or through e-mail. Addresses and links can be found on my profile page.
=== X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter ===
XvT 318: Delivery (RgF 206) - due September 22nd
Created by Wes Belden
= Mission Overview =
After our encounter with a small pirate group we now have the cargo that was meant to be delivered by the very pirates whose base we now occupy. We will deliver this cargo at the time and coordinates stated in the pirate base's computer logs. The Imperials will be expecting a small fighter escort. You will be leading this flight. We will have a shuttle just within sensor range of the pickup point (the shuttle will have all detectable systems offline and will be nearly dead in space). Once the craft the Imperials send has left, the shuttle will hyper after it, coming out of hyperspace some way behind its plotted destination. They will continue to follow it until the Imperials reach their point of origin: the Imperial base of operations.
The shuttle will not, however, power up and follow the Imperials if there are others present that could detect and report them.
= Mission Details =
This is a normal mission; fly with the usual rules. Multiplayer not available.
You'll be strapping yourself into an X-Wing with a standard load of Proton Torpedoes and no countermeasures or beam systems.
Full mission details can be found in the in-game briefing.
=== X-Wing Alliance ===
XWA 405: Protect the Base (IBG 205) - due September 22nd
Built by Cephisus Balder
= Mission Overview =
Our new base is under attack and we must prevent the platform's destruction. A-Wings and X-Wings will engage Imperial fighters and bombers while B-Wings will attack the VSD. Capital ships from the fleet are en route to provide additional support. Watch your backs out there and may the Force be with us.
= Mission Details =
An A-Wing is your craft once again. This time you'll be sporting a standard load of Heavy Rockets with chaff, but no beam system.
Full mission details can be found in the in-game briefing.

=== The Future ===
No special plans for next session at this time, but we'll see. If anyone has a new XvT or XWA mission burning a hole in their hard drive they'd like to share with the RS, let me know!
=== Call for Help ===
I'm in need of someone to take over the Assistant Platform Coordinator slot for XvT and XWA.
Duties include the approval of mission reports for the two platforms, building and/or testing new missions, helping assemble the regular platform newsletters, updating the platform pages on the wiki (this is nearly done), and filling in for me if I'm ever on leave or otherwise unavailable. Don't worry, it's much simpler than it may sound.
Those interested should shoot me an email or private message. Addresses and links can be found on my profile page.
=== Closing ===
That's all for this month's newsletter. Due date for mission reports is September 22nd. Fly early and often!
