First Strike Statistic Rankings Awards 2012 news

Greetings Troopers!

It has been a long while since we last took stock of the toll of the ongoing battles waged across space and on countless worlds. Many years in fact, and in that time whole star systems have been lost to the brutal war that continues to ravage the galaxy. Yet take stock we must, so as to identify the heroes of this conflict and honour their name. So with no further ado let me introduce you to:

The First Strike Statistic Rankings Awards 2012

"Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen..."

The Imperial war machine has never been stronger. The loss of the Death Star was a serious blow to be sure, but since that engagement we have redoubled our efforts to eradicate this outlaw Rebellion once and for all. Scattered across the Outer Rim they are difficult to track down, but it is only a matter of time. There are only so many places they can hide, and as the Imperial fleet grows larger the Empire's grip on the galaxy grows tighter. When the Rebels do come out into the open for us to engage? Victory is assured. The Emperor will be pleased.

Grand Moff JE_Twigs...

You have become a rising star in the Imperial military, subjugating system after system, and ensuring that there is nowhere left to hide for Rebel scum in your sector, and when you have participated in battle on the front lines you have faultlessly ensured victory for those under your command. This has not gone unnoticed and the Emperor has seen fit to bestow on you the highest honour of the rank of Grand Admiral. He looks forward to completing your training.

Grand Admiral SamZi...

After years of exemplary service your level of performance on the battlefield appears to have waned somewhat. A series of less than successful skirmishes have lead to the Rebellion gaining a foothold in the sectors under your command resulting in instability and a failure of absolute Imperial law in your region. We all know the Emperor does not look kindly on failure, but in light of your past service he has seen fit to demote you to the rank of Grand Moff and allow you time to redeem yourself in his eyes. See that you do.

Rear Admiral Talon...

You have made steady progress through the ranks of the Imperial military showing sound judgement and impressive command skills on the battlefield resulting in some significant victories against the outlaw Rebellion. This has caught the Emperor's eye and he has deemed you worthy of a promotion to the rank of Moff, where he expects you to continue to achieve even more victories in his name. Welcome to the halls of Imperial High Command.

Fleet Admiral Gwynzer...

Your combat record remains flawless with a continuing number of victories against the Empire's enemies in the Outer Rim. Your role at the highest echelons of Imperial command appears to suit you, which is why you are being given another promotion to the rank of Moff to see if this further enhances your potential as an asset of the Empire.

Commodore DUKE815...

You have been brought to our attention through your reckless and sometimes foolhardy use of Imperial walkers, and your research endeavours into the widespread reintroduction of jetpacks as a mainstay of Imperial infantry combat doctrine. Your methods are unorthodox, but you have managed to achieve a number of victories against the odds. Imperial High Command would like to see what you're capable of in a position of real power. As such you have been awarded the rank of Fleet Admiral.

Moff RSFAngel...

Once again we find you slipping down the ranks. Was the Emperor mistaken in giving you another chance to prove your worth? Your current level of effectiveness does not sit well with the rank of Moff, and as such you are hereby demoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral. Take this as your last chance to shine before the Emperor, as it won't be long before the Bantha's Burden's schedule brings it round this way again.

Moff Oddball-UK & Fleet Admiral TK-7642...

Regrettably the Emperor is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress and has ordered that you both be reduced to the rank of Rear Admiral. You are to prepare for command duties on the next Outer Rim run of the Bantha's Burden which should be returning to Coruscant shortly. We advise you to use this time wisely to take stock of your failures and determine how you may best serve the Empire again on your return.

Fear not troopers...

The battle for supremacy of the galaxy continues, show your dedication and prowess on the galactic battlefields and maybe the next Grand Admiral will be you.
