Tie Corps Career: I have spent my entire Emperor's Hammer career in Wing IV. After a lengthy search for a good Star Wars gaming club, I decided to join the EH in August of 1998. The TIE Corps was still in the old ranking system at this time and I was given the ID line of TRN/LT Jonathan/Teth 3-3/Wing IV/SSSD Sovereign. Teth Squadron was under the command of LG Domi and the wing was under the command of LG Caddo. Not long after joining, the downsizing occured, the new rank system was put into place, and Teth saw a double turn around in CMDRs. When the smoke cleared, LG Domi and CM Connie had both stepped down as CMDR and the new CMDR was CM Mortu. He took me under his wing and I credit him with my entire TC career. If not for Mortu, I would have probably quit the TC after the first few months but he encouraged me, helped me along, and was (and still is) a great friend. My time in Teth went very well. I flew a lot and filled in as Acting CMDR several times. Before long, though, Mortu had to step down and I was chosen as the new CMDR of Teth. My tenure as CMDR was short lived, though, due to the limited amount of time I had to devote to the job and my lack of experience so I stepped down. Eventually, I followed Mortu to Lamed Squadron where he had become CMDR. Again, I flew a lot and filled in as Acting CMDR when needed. During my stay in Lamed, I also filled in as Acting CMDR for Cheth Squadron while CPT Demon Yoda was on leave for the Summer. The dwindling amount of activity in Lamed brought about an idea for a competition that would, in the end, earn me a Bronze Star: the Sovereign Summer Free TIE Challenge. Our Wing Commander, GN Ricardo, ran the competition and I assisted. Helping do this was a wonderful experience to me and proved that there is more fun in the TIE Corps that just flying. While the competition was going, what I consider to be the biggest landmark in my TC career occured. I applied for the position of Yod Squadron CMDR as was selected to do the job. I had always secretly admired Yod and thought of it as an elite squadron of sorts. To be named CMDR was a thrill then and is still the pinnacle of my time spent in the TIE Corps. I served as CMDR for several months and reached the rank of MAJ before having to step down due to real life obligations. Believe me, if I had been able to do the job like I wanted to, I would not have stepped down. While CMDR, I instituted a drive to gain more Squadron Citations because we practically had none. This marked the beginning of the climb to the number of citations we have today. This brings me to my current status as a FM in this great squadron.

The summary and highlights of my career are as follows:
CMDR of Teth and Yod Squadrons
Acting CMDR of Teth, Lamed, Cheth, and Yod Squadrons
Assisted in running the Sovereign Summer Free TIE Competition
Named CMDR of the Month 2 times
Named Pilot of the Month 1 time
