As most of you know by now, the New Imperium has successfully secured
the Pax System in Varnus Quadrant, and has added the system to our
governmental protectorate. The system was taken after a fierce battle
with apparent New Republic forces. Though these New Republicans
apparently are not aware of our current "third-party" stance, we are
obligated to defend ourselves and protect those who are under our area
of control.

An SoH team has recently returned from a special mission in Delta
Sector, one of our neighboring sectors in the Unknown Regions. Though
their mission to recover the respected and esteemed SoH/DLSF member,
Kurt, who vanished months ago, failed, they returned with a special
prize for the NI: A World Devastator!
En route through the Vargon Death Cloud they emerged unknowingly into
the territory of self-proclaimed Lord Admiral Tarjon Solus, commander of
the Deathwatch Imperial Strike Fleet. They were captured and brought in
for questioning, where the SoH team recieved a shocking revelation, and
an incredible piece of information. The rumors are actually true:
Emperor Palpatine is still alive. The Emperor, who has apparently taken
a new body, has been manipulating the various Imperial factions out
there that were involved in the recent Mutiny. His purposes are unknown,
but whatever they may be they pose a real threat to the entire galaxy.
More grave news was discovered as Tarjon Solus, who was working directly
for Palpatine, was in charge of the construction of a Soveriegn-class
Star Destroyer, the Despot! Thankfully, the team escaped the Admiral's
grasp, injuring him in the process, and managed to take control of his
World Devastator, only part of the massive fleet under Solus' control.
An enraged Solus took the incomplete ship out of its repair bay,
destroying the facility, and went after the SoH team. However, this
proved his undoing, as the quick-thinking Jedi lead by Nico turned the
Devastator on and ripped up a large section of its hull and drew the
bridge into its cavernous factories. Solus' threat has been stopped, and
a report was sent into New Republic space with the hopes that they would
finish the maddened Imperials off.
The SoH has offered the World Devastator, the Pillager 9, as an
addition to its ever-expanding fleet, in exchange for some monetary
compensation and a number of other "small" favors. This ship will be a
valuable addition to our fleet, as its factories will be able to produce
as many fighters as the NI needs and actually build onto itself by
drawing raw materials from uninhabited NI planets. In theory, there is
no limit to how large the ship could become, or how many other
Devastators could be built! A great addition to the fleet!

In related fleet news, the Moro Shipyards are now fully operational
and are producing the first line of new NI ships. Among these are a
number of new capital ships and TWO Mark-II class Imperial Star
Destroyers, scheduled for service within 2-3 months. With the many new
production facilties now in the NI's possession, we are even more
autonomous, with our own capital-ship production facilities
Also in fleet news, the Vast Empire is constructing the NI's second
Super Star Destroyer, the Mustang. This Modified SSD will be another
powerful presence in the NI's territory. With such great advancements,
expansion of NI territory in the near future is very likely.

The Corporation member of the NI, Phoenix Technologies, has officially
closed, but many new opportunities have been opened, with a stronger
alliance emerging with the New Corporate Sector Authority. All former
PT's ships have been recommissioned as part of the New Imperium's Fleet.

Encounters with the pirates that have been plaguing NI shipping
recently have increased, but NI fleet patrols have managed to rout the
pirate forces in almost every encounter. With new ships being sent out
to deal with the threat, it is estimated that the pirate problems will
not last much longer, as things will become too costly for them to
continue their operations in this part of the sector.

I would like to remind everyone to visit the NI Plotline Database if
you have not done so recently, and check out the latest updates. Please
check it, as the Quote of the Week (a quote from a future Plotline
story) will be changed soon. You must have the proper login and password
to access this confidential information. If you feel you should have
this information (and do not mind having everything spoiled for you)
please see me.

UPCOMING EVENTS

I would like to issue a desperate plea to the Senate... GET ACTIVE!
:P Incredible things are in the works, in the plotline and in other
events. The NI will need to be at its most active level in the next
couple months. Everyone is urged to do as much recruiting as possible. I
well know the responsibilities plaguing club leaders, so I urge you to
delegate responsibility to get things accomplished. A number of people
may be leaving a certain club soon in the future and they may be looking
for a new group to join... hope you get the hint, and get active!
Please!

Elections ARE coming up in May, so I would ask this term's candidates
to place their bids for election well in advance. This is a serious
event... please take it as such.

I am in desperate need for someone who can make a new NI Plotline
Battle for Tie Fighter/XvT. This battle will be playable by virtually
everyone in the NI and will return to a more original, realistic feel in
the battles. The person will have to operate within guidelines, however,
and the battle(s) (there may be more than six missions) will need to be
able to accomplish this task by early April. This is an NI-wide battle
and a special medal will be given for participation. Please come to me
if interested or if you know someone who might be. Thanks!

I also desperately need someone who can html-map our new sectormaps and
put together a Sectormap page. Full details will be explained to anyone
interested. Please help me out!

As far as I know, that is all for this report. Thanks for reading. If
you actually did, then at least that means you are interested in this
and active. Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Same thing goes with the Army people. An Army website, training manual, and training missions needs to be completed before I obligate them to New Imperium duties.

That means we got a lot of work to do before we can even participate in helping protect New Imperium space from the ever growing threat.

When the time comes for you to build the battle, I will gladly help out. Infact, we may even use some new ships in the battle (XWA ships addapted for XvT and nCSA made ones). The nCSA may even "find its way in" to the battle. Of course, since the nCSA is strictly neutral in the Galatic Civil War, we'd play more of a support role.

Let me know if your interested, or when you are ready to begin construction.
