From the desk of Sabre OC:
He may have an enigmatic past, but his value to Sabre Squadron and Renegade Wing is no mystery. It is my privilege to bestow upon Queequeg "Savage" Black Cloud the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. Please join me at the SSD to celebrate his new pay grade! Personally, I recommend toasting him with a cup of Pequod's finest dark roast caf.
-Silence, Sabre OC
25 Jun 24
From the desk of Rogue Leader:
We are entering a new stage of the war, people. When we were the Rebel Alliance, we were the ones striking out from the shadows, seizing the initiative for most of our engagements. The Empire had to chase us, waste time and resources attempting to engage us as they had to defend their vast territories. Now, though, we are often caught flat-footed as the remnants of the Empire pick and choose the ground of battle. In this new stage of the war, we need more people with outside-the-box thinking and a penchant for surprising tactical decisions. As such, Jim "Raven" Lee, has been recalled and hereby will be reinstated at his previous rank of Captain, and will be helping the Command Group with his gift for ... unconventional tactics and the darker side of warfare, taking up residence in the vacant billet of Corona 4.
His previous postings during the early days of the Alliance were numerous, including stints with Red, Gold, and Rogue Squadrons, and was a foundational member of both Corsair and Buccaneer Squadrons onboard the Liberty. Finally, after dubious circumstances that have been lost during the destruction of Renegade Wing's home at Endor, he joined Green Squadron where he mysteriously disappeared some time before the Battle of Endor. We will need his knowledge if we are to get ahead of the shadowy Imperial threats we now face.
With Raven's ... serendipitous return, many of his earlier exploits have become declassified and will become available in the coming days. One such early mission places him on loan to Gold Squadron to investigate a serious threat to the fledgeling Rebel Alliance a few months after the Battle of Yavin. Take a look at the recently declassified mission to see if you all can learn a thing or two in Gold Strike- Part 1 by Raven, Pivot, and Storm, now available in the Lounge!
Generally this would be the point where I suggest we all run down to the SSD to run up a tab on the new pilot, but I strongly suggest you all flip the script and offer to buy Raven the best single malt scotch Iggy can muster, if only to stay on Raven's good side! There are whispers that his pet Gundark Rory may be lurking around the shadowy parts of the Vigilant, and you will want to stay on his good side as well. You will all need to review the manual on what to do during encounters with dangerous sentient species at the end of this announcement.
-Jalb, Rogue Squadron OC

From the desk of Spectre XO:
New pilots are always welcome, especially when they slot effortlessly into their posting and help boost Wing morale with their energy and enthusiasm. For these reasons and many more, Jane "Moon" Skye, Spectre Seven, is hereby promoted to 2nd Lieutenant with all the privileges this new rank brings - which basically means she's paying for drinks at the SSD next time she's off duty! Congrats, Moon, it's great to have you in Spectre Squadron.

30 Nov 23
From the desk of Spectre OC:
Often in these times of trouble and sacrifice, we overlook the contributions of the arts. There is something about group activities that bring us all together and raise morale that is worth not only celebrating, but recognizing as necessary. Those who contribute to these endeavors are often overlooked, and they themselves will simply say they were just having fun.
Captain Gemilan, or "Gremlin" as we know her, is one of those people. For her continued dedication to bringing us together through social activities like Inktober and other artistic endeavors, I hereby award her an OC Commendation from Spectre Squadron.
Congratulations, XO. Keep our future bright, colorful, and full of fun.
-Wolf, Spectre OC

From the desk of Captain J'ruce, Buccaneer Executive Officer:
Only a lucky few are skilled and experienced enough to call themselves members of Buccaneer Squadron. It is a privilege that is held in the highest esteem. On that note, I am delighted to extend that privilege to Jeni "Angel" Courtner! She'll fit right in amongst our ranks, even moreso once she's bought us all drinks!
I'm also happy to inform you all that she has been promoted to the rank of Captain, but the drinks are still on her tab.
From the bunk of Bearcat, Rogue 12 and new Loremaster:
I've, uh, been told to carry out the plans of my predecessor and I'd "better not screw it up". Thankfully for me, Bulldog had completed enough work for this Loremaster position to be rather cushy for the next year or so! As such, here is part 1 of 3 of the next Liberty Classic re-release!
Jalb, Krayt, and Hellcat are bored.

From the desk of Captain McCauley, Corsair Executive Officer:
Attention!
Flight command has graced Corsair with yet another exceptional recruit. Please give a warm renegade welcome to Flight Officer Jay "Slipstream" Pelles.
Jay was previously deeply embedded with a rebel cell, who's daring and courage saw the New Republic able to liberate that system. You may already know of him for his excellent simulator software and I heard he's also quite the artist.
Everyone to the SSD because drinks are on the new guy!
P.S. Any rabbit jokes will see you serving mandatory NR sensitivity training. Hop to it!
From the Desk of the Lore Master:
It's funny what some combat veterans can remember with absolute clarity of mind while other important details are lost to the ether the moment they are out of sight. CRS Liberty Flight Controller extraordinaire Silk reminisces about the time he first encountered his favorite drink in Silk's Tale by Silk, now available again as this month's Liberty Classic re-release in the Lounge!

Will he make it? Find out in Resistance Part 3 by Bulldog (with help from Wildcard and Jalb), now available in the Lounge! (Part 1 here and Part 2 here)
From the desk of Colonel Reynolds, Rogue OC:
We're all aware of the disturbing events that transpired on Toseng recently and the fallout from those Imperial atrocities will be long and far-reaching. In the short term though Sabre needs to continue providing its exemplary support to the Wing and the New Republic, and to ensure this happens Captain Rosk "Silence" Vikeron is promoted to Major and effective command of Sabre immediately.
Whilst I couldn't think of a worse way for this promotion to come about I want everyone to give Silence, and Sabre, their full support and be respectful of the traumatic way this has been pushed upon them, and the Wing as a whole.
For a bit of brighter news, the latest ship officially assigned to the Vigilant Task Force> has finally arrived. The Vollka, a newly refitted Assault Frigate, stands ready to join us at our next battle. Under the command of famed wildcard Captain Kardia Milo, we look forward to seeing what this ship can do!
They say the 'war' is over. I wish that were true... Although we probably don't want to I urge you all to get to the SSD, toast Major Vikeron and raise a glass to another fallen comrade, Major Andy 'Bulldog' Clark.
From the desk of Captain Vikeron, the newly instated Sabre OC:
It is with a heavy heart that I must take up the mantle of our former Sabre OC. He was no saint, but I will always remember him as a good man.
As my first act, I am instating Captain Conall "Shadow" McKenna to the position of Sabre XO, a well-deserved appointment. He will be leaving behind his role as Lore Officer.
Taking over for Captain McKenna will hereby be Captain Adam "Guardian" Burns.
I have every confidence both men will do an excellent job in their new positions. Despite these somber times, please take a moment to congratulate these fine individuals by immediately sinking them into debt at the SSD.
Don't forget to pour one out for our fallen comrade.

From the desk of Sabre OC:
I am pleased to announce that Starfighter Command has finally caught up with our after-action reports and approved our several recommendations for awards.
Firstly, the following members participated in the 2022 Inktober challenge, and have officially earned the new ribbon!
- Captain Gemilan "Gremlin" with a stunning 32 entries! Either she found an extra day in the month, or Sabre OC can't count properly!
- Colonel Chris "Jalb_k" Reynolds just behind her with 31 entries, a whopping entry per day!
- 1st Lieutenant Andika "Damak" Malim with 26 entries.
- Captain Rosk "Silence" Vikeron with 24 entries.
- Captain Bakk 'Wildcard' J'ruce with 17 entries.
- Captain Adam "Guardian" Burns with 14 entries.
- Major Andy "Bulldog" Clark with 7 entries.
- Captain Roy "Lock" Callahan with 4 entries.
- Major Myke "Wolf" Krenn with 3 entries.
- Lieutenant Colonel Bill "Jedi" Morrison with 1 entry.
- 1st Lieutenant Marc "Prowler" Desrosiers with 1 entry.
- and Ketch with 1 entry, who will earn his ribbon once he is officially on a roster! Pick a billet already, ya old-timer!
But that's not all. We have a few members earning extra devices to their Squadron Citation Ribbons!
- Captain Bakk 'Wildcard' J'ruce has earned 1 device for his completions of the 5ks The Old Guard, the Blood that Moves the Body (upcoming), and Train of Thought.
- Captain Rosk "Silence" Vikeron has earned 1 device for her for completion of number 3 and 4 in the Jak & Bey series.
- Captain Kell "Dragon" Arcfire has earned 1 device for his completion of the bios for Brainman, Jarhead, and Darlene.

Lastly, there are two pilots the Renegade Wing Command Staff especially wanted to identify. Unfortunately, Starfighter Command has been dragging their feet on more lofty (yet well-deserved) awards, so the command group onboard the CRS Vigilant has decided to take matters into their own hands. The following two pilots have earned the rare OC's Commendation Ribbon!
- For effort far and above the call of Lore duty, Captain John "Knight" Vorwald has earned his first OC's Commendation Ribbon.
- Similarly, 2nd Lieutenant Jeff "Blixus" Mitchell has earned a 2nd OC's Commendation Ribbon for work above and beyond the normal duties of a Lore Officer, as well as his continued hard work on his extra-curricular project.
Drinks are on all of those that have been recognized above, aside from me. Let's go crash the SSD!

Not all operations Renegade Wing is involved in are public. 2nd Lt. Jeff "Blixus" Mitchell has undertaken a secret mission on behalf of the wing. In appreciation for his efforts thus far, we award him the very first OC's Commendation Ribbon.
This ribbon is awarded at the discretion of the Officer Commanding of the pilot OR the Command Staff, and is awarded for personnel who have performed consistently above the requirements of their Rank and/or position or have contributed to their Squadron or the Wing in a way that surpasses the criteria for a Squadron or Wing Citation.
Blixus has completely gone all in, willingly and without complaint, in his duties on the Lore Team as well as the Top Secret project he has been spearheading on behalf of the Command Staff. While the project is still under construction, we are excited with the progress and cannot wait until it is able to be unveiled to the rest of the Wing. For now, let's just run up his tab in the Simmons' Schock Deck!

It is with great pleasure that I welcome our newest Corsair to the fold, Nevan "Cannibal" Cross!

Let's break in his wallet Renegade Wing style by having a bunch of drinks on his tab - just don't let him get too drunk, he's allergic to bacta so he can't rely on it to fix any liver damage!

Many of the pilots are dealing with varying levels of trauma, both from the past and from this most recent battle. Take a look inside the pain in Day One Blues: Part 2 by Lock et. al, now in the Lounge for your perusal!

From the Desk of Spectre OC:
It's a time honored tradition for the Renegades to test their mettle against older, previous missions and see how they stack up against the past. 1st Lieutenant Jeni "Angel" Courtner has done just that, earning the Iron Star for achieving a time of 7:00 in Mineracing!
Drinks on the newfound daredevil!
16 Jun 22
From the Desk of Spectre XO:
For ongoing service to Renegade Wing, particularly his writing credits and his sterling work on organising the first unit patch run in two decades, Second Lieutenant Andika "Damak" Malim is hereby promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant. Damak's morale-boosting efforts extend beyond his support for Spectre Squadron projects like the recent NPC Challenge; he brings his enthusiasm and energy to a number of Wing initiatives, making this promotion very well-deserved. Congrats, Damak!
Of course, with a write-up like this, there has to be some payback. To the SSD - the drinks are on Damak!

- The exciting conclusion is finally here! So many Renegades have already been shot down or forced out of the fight, leaving the survivors drastically outnumbered and increasingly damaged. With the balance of an entire planet in play, Renegade Wing cannot fall back and regroup for it would mean death to the patriots on the ground hoping for freedom. With retreating off the table, pilots in varying degrees of operational ships must hurl themselves into the fray and finish the fight... or die trying! See what happens in Boiling Point Episode Seven by Frosty, Lock, et. al, in the Theater (and in epub)!
29 May 22

Official Communication!
From the office of General Raymus Firth, Starfighter Command
- ATTN: Renegade Wing
Due to the recent losses suffered at Toseng, Starfighter Command has shuffled assets to ensure we put the strongest foot forward on all fronts. As such, Renegade Wing will be receiving a fresh batch of reinforcements to replace their losses and fill in pre-existing gaps in the rosters.
While we are assigning these replacements, we need another of your pilots to help rebuild the fighter squadrons attached to the CRS Sovereignty. This is regrettable, as we are aware of the losses you sustained recently in battle, but Lt. Stormhand personally requested Lt. Faus'tus to join him, and he will be reassigned to that duty posting as of 0700 tomorrow.
Also going off on a mission for High Command is Lt. Costa Guerra. He will be taking a shuttle on a recovery run, and may be gone for quite some time as he continues to round up missing personnel. We have the utmost confidence in his abilities to do the job thoroughly.
Lastly, Lieutenant KalDan has requested transfer to the medical facility caring for his grievously wounded friend, Flight Officer Pristolaque. This was worded more as a demand than a request, but the facility had an opening within the local defense squadron, so we were able to agree upon a transfer.
To salve these necessary reductions in force, we have decided to attach a new squadron to the Renegade Wing Task Force. Rapier Squadron will be based on the FRG Rehz'nor, and they will be the Wing's Force Recon element. While not as adept at recon as Corsair and not packing nearly as much firepower as Buccaneer, this melding of mission profiles has worked well under Cpt. Brej and Lt. Malloc on their own. We project even more effectiveness with Rapier under the Command and Maintenance umbrella of Renegade Wing, and look forward to even more success on their end.
Also, due to the ferocity with which the Imperial Remnant has been fighting, we have decided to activate the 39th New Republic Training Squadron, dubbed "The Raiders". They will be housed on the FRG Regis, under the keen tutelage of Captains Maddic Chread and Retzel Ugget. I've approved their request to bring a remedial skills officer along, so please also welcome Lt. Rokara Dene aboard as well. We look forward to the recruits this training squadron turns out, as they will have a front-row seat to the most effective Wing in the New Republic.
The full list of new additions will follow my signature in this message.
From the desk of the Sabre Squadron OC:
I'm well aware the news from General Firth was lengthy and mostly welcome, and I don't want to take up too much of your time with the latest round of Squadron Citations. The members below have earned one or more Citation devices (in order of rank):
- Lt. Col. 9-LOM "Syntax" has earned a device for his detailed report on an old mission, titled "One for the Money".
- Major Chris "Animal" Stephen has earned one device for the creation of bios for Shifty, Mother, and Gramps.
- Major Myke "Wolf" Krenn has earned a device for his contributions on Ghostfire, Always a Rogue, and The Fires of the Rebellion.

- Captain Adam "Guardian" Burns has earned one device for his contributions to Life Day, Shakedown, and the creation of Kaadu's bio.
- Captain Rosk "Silence" Vikeron has earned a whopping three devices! Two for her detailed reports on the history of Skull Squadron: Defects Detected and Divided. Her last device is for the creation of bios for Boomer, Grannies, and Puddles.
- Captain John "Knight" Vorwald has earned two devices. One is for his tireless efforts to convert our Boiling Point chapters into an epub format, and the other is for the creation of bios for Happy, Plug, and Mesh.
- Captain Conall "Shadow" McKenna has earned a device for his contribution to Life Day, the creation of Turbo's bio, and his consistent presence in the POV editing room.
- 1st Lt. Brennan "Rainman" Roth has earned a device for his detailed Debrief, as well as the creation of bios for Limmie and Bonehead.
- And last but not least, 1st Lt. Jeni "Angel" Courtner has earned a device for her contributions to Dangerous Love and Life Day, and the creation of a bio for Pops.
Hold fast! I know this is generally the part of the meeting where we all rush off to run up the drink tab of those that have been recognized, but there is one more piece of business to handle. The pilots below have gone above and beyond in the eyes of Command Staff in contributing toward the detailed after-action reports surrounding our time on Toseng.
As a reminder, pilots can earn one of three ribbons based on the number of their Toseng lore contributions. 1-2 contributions earns a teal ribbon with bronze star. 3-4 contributions earns a purple ribbon with silver star. 5+ contributions earns a black ribbon with gold star. Now, go on and run up those bar tabs!

Before Cutter got here, he was onboard the Redemption, fortunately both Cutter and Dr Banarj were moved from the Liberty before the Battle of Endor and redeployed but before he was on the old Renegade Wing mothership, he was a medical droid on a remote outpost and was slated to be left behind during an evacuation. A chance encounter with Guardian changed both of their fates, as well as every Renegade since that Cutter has operated on!

Official Communication!
From the office of General Raymus Firth, Starfighter Command in conjuction with Admiral Gial Ackbar
- ATTN: Renegade Wing
Due to the recent loss of Rear Admiral Tolden to an unexpected terrorist attack on Toseng, Renegade Wing and the CRS Vigilant Taskforce needed a reshuffling to fill in the gap in "official" leadership. While both the offices of Starfighter Command and Fleet Command are fairly aware of the people running the day to day of the wing and taskforce for the past few months, officially Tolden was in charge of overseeing the entire show under Vice Admiral Arithen Vodani.
Rather than bring in an outsider to fill in this new gap in leadership, both of our offices feel that it is long overdue that we make the unofficial structure completely official. As such, Colonel Vince "Stryker" Rambo will henceforth be promoted to the rank of General, and will be in charge of the Vigilant Taskforce, subordinate only to Admiral Vodani during joint operations, otherwise fully in charge.
To fill in the gap left by General Rambo's promotion, we feel that it is only natural that Lt. Col. Chris "Jalb_k" Reynolds be promoted to a full Colonel and be placed officially in charge of Renegade Wing.
We are aware that these two changes aren't really changes at all, and we expect little to no disruption to the day to day operation of the Vigilant Taskforce.
Signed,
General Raymus Firth
Admiral Gial Ackbar

20 Dec 21
For the month of November, the Renegade Wing Lore team put forth a challenge to the writers to create a compelling story in 5000 words or less. Some writers finished with plenty of room to spare, while others needed every bit of that word limit to get their thoughts across. Take a look at part 1 of 2 of the November 5k Anthology release in the Lounge! Included in this release are stories by Wildcard, FLATTOP, Knight, Wolf, Guardian, Jalb, Bulldog, and Silence!

We've got a treat for all you Renegades, and Vigilant visitors, today courtesy of Spectre's Damak! You've read Cinder to Ash as a POV, now enjoy it in full color! This is just Part One of hopefully many to come, so let me be the first to congratulate Damak on such an amazing job! Just wow! Check out Damak's Graphic Novella adaptation of Cinder to Ash here!

From the desk of Corsair Lead:
- For sustained gallantry in service to the New Republic, and demonstration of Corsair Squadron and Renegade Wing ideals, First Lieutenant John "Knight" Vorwald is hereby promoted to the rank of Captain. Additionally, Captain Vorward is being appointed to the role of Corsair Squadron Lore Officer; I know he is looking forward to joining the Lore Team proper. Knight's participation and contributions to the Wing have been an example to the squadron, and I eagerly look forward to seeing what lies ahead in his obviously bright future. Please join me in celebrating by draining his bank account at the SSD!

In what is obviously a combination of multiple egregious clerical errors and gross oversight by all parties involved, Wolf's former manservant 1st Lieutenant Jack "Frosty" McCauley somehow managed to both apply for and get accepted to the vacant position of Corsair Squadron Executive Officer, and all of the duties, hardships, punishments and paperwork associated with it. While I'm not sure he has any idea what he has just gotten himself into, Frosty is hereby promoted to the rank of Captain and is relieved of his duties as Corsair Squadron Lore Officer, effective immediately. I haven't figured out what his beverage of choice is yet, but I can guarantee that it will be poured all over the floor repeatedly and often when I do. Let's all help him celebrate his questionable life decision at the SSD!
8 Dec 21
Leave it to a Rogue to go rogue! Having disappeared from the CRS Liberty before the Battle of Endor to go on a covert mission, 1st Lieutenant Brennan "Rainman" Roth finally returns to us. Want to know what he was up to? Well, that's classified, but we have reports that it might be revealed in an Anthology coming later this month... for now, though, let's concentrate on welcoming back our latest Rogue! Welcome home, Rogue 8! Drinks on Rainman!
6 Dec 21
Being 'Rogue Qualified' can be a double-edged sword. You get the reputation and respect, but you also may be called upon at the last moment to join the Rogues on the sort of mission only they can pull off. See what happens when Bulldog finds this out the hard way in Always a Rogue, by Bulldog with contributions from Lock and Wolf, in the Lounge!
3 Dec 21
Newly minted Spectre Lead, Wolf, has been quick to create X-wing vs. TIE Fighter requirements for Spectre Squadron for the non-SWS players among us or interested in enlisting. They are outlined here.
1st Lt. Sigurd "BattleDog" Stormhand has earned a Squadron Citation for his extremely detailed report on warhead efficacy, to be made available to the entire alliance soon.
1st Lt. Jack "Frosty" McCauley has earned a Squadron Citation for the report on his interesting trip down memory lane in Green as it Gets.
1 Dec 21
Growing pains are a part of life. They can be quite painful though, especially when they happen all at once. Take a look at the moment in time when Frosty was force to come to grips with his responsibilities, both professional and personal in Green as it Gets, by Frosty in the Lounge!
29 Nov 21
From the desk of the Wing CO:
Before precedings get taken over by Sabre OC I'd like to, briefly, acknowledge an oversight and belatedly award him the Veteran Service Ribbon, Gold device with Bronze Gilt Border. MaJ Andy "Bulldog" Clark earned this some time ago, in the lead up to the Battle of Endor, but with the loss of The Liberty administration and records were a little sketchy. This has now been rectified. Congratulations Bulldog.
From the desk of the Sabre OC:
There has been quite a bit of good news lately, so I'd like to keep the ball rolling. First, Sabre Squadron has finally settled on some joining requirements for X-wing vs. TIE Fighter for players that have not yet gotten into SWS. They are outlined here.
Next, it is my distinct pleasure to acknowledge all of the art we've seen adorning the walls of our Ready Room as of late. I especially enjoyed the art by Syntax, whom was kind enough to add an age statement to his doodles. The following members have earned a fancy new Inktober ribbon for participating (In order of Rank, not number of contributions):
- Lt. Col. Chris "Jalb_k" Reynolds
- Lt. Col. 9-LOM "Syntax"

Last bit of business on my end before we can go drink in celebration of the new Spectre OC: Citation ribbon updates!
- Captain Roy "Lock" Callahan has earned another ribbon for his thorough contributions on Unbecoming an Officer, Yesterday, and Age of Paradox.
- Major Myke "Wolf" Krenn has earned another ribbon for his integral additions to Endor, Alderaan, and Dangerous Love.

- Lastly, Captain Gemilan "Gremlin" has earned another ribbon for her tireless assistance on Dance Dance Rebellion, Age of Paradox, and Ghostfire.
Please stand and be recognized, pilots. Please step back toward the wall for... No no, this is totally normal. Please go back to the far wall. That's it...
Now, last one of you lot to make it to the SSD is buying the drinks for the night! GO!
28 Nov 21
From the desk of Spectre OC:
As my first act upon taking command of Spectre Squadron, I'm pleased to announce that Bakk "Wildcard" J'ruce is hereby promoted to 2nd Lieutenant. In the short time since Wildcard joined us, he's been enthusiastically involved in many projects not just on the discord or in game but in providing entertaining tales (tall and otherwise) and interesting company. In such a short time, he's even been assigned as Tug Maintenance Lead by Rogue Leader himself! Drinks on the newly minted L-T!
23 Nov 21
Change of Command - Orders issued, all pers to read and acknowledge appropriately.
- "By order of General Firth, Starfighter Command, effective immediately Major Myke Krenn is appointed Officer Commanding Spectre Squadron! Captain Gemilan shall retain Executive and I expect all personnel to provide their full support to the Squadron leadership going forward."
15 Nov 21
Many Renegade pilots come down with severe cases of food poisoning, and all signs point to Frosty as the culprit considering his prankster history. Will he get drummed out of the wing for finally taking things a giant leap too far? Find out in Dangerous Love, brought to you in the Lounge by Bulldog, Silence, Angel, Wolf, Jalb and Frosty!
From the desk of the Sabre OC:
It has come to my attention that one of our long-lost pilots that was recently recovered and rejoined the wing has a proclivity for keeping people alive. As such, please join me in welcoming Capt. Adam "Guardian" Burns officially home where he belongs, in the Sabre Three billet. As Sabre and Mainstay Three, he will most definitely be busy keeping the more reckless among us alive so we can take the fight straight to the heart of the Empire as we continue to work toward purging their oppression from the galaxy!
While this may be a tradition from my days as the Buccaneer executive officer, please make sure you run up a tab in the SSD on his account, but also make sure he drinks his fill as his first assignment with Sabre! First one to get him to lose control of his legs gets a pour from my private stash!
Welcome Back Guardian!
6 Nov 21
As Sabre Squadron OC, it is my great pleasure to bestow the Strikeforce Battle Star upon Captain Moggaz "Barraken" Murg.
This award is given to individuals who demonstrated an exceptional ability to help others. Only individuals with constant presence and quick reactions are awarded the Strike Force Battle Star. I felt, and the entirety of the Renegade Wing Command group agreed, that Barraken exhibits every bit of these qualities and is thus deserving to be the third person in the 25+ year history of the group to earn this award. Through his work maintaining the Cantina facebook group to keep everybody in touch during the barren years and the supreme effort he undertook to get the Sov going and rallying lost members, he has earned this ribbon.
Not one to rest on his laurels, he has continued to undertake the very challenging task of hunting for more lost members, utilizing all manner of tools at his disposal (including snail-mail letters!), as well as keep all personnel apprised of the latest in tactics from other units all over the galaxy in our fight against the Empire.
I wish for everybody to stand and recognize Barraken for his excellence and continued efforts to increase our fighting capacity.

Please welcome her with open arms, but keep in mind she is a civilian and not privy to sensitive materials.
From the Desk of Buccaneer OC:

From the desk of the Sabre XO:
For heroic efforts to keep his fellow Renegades alive despite all their reckless flying and shenanigans, the following Sabre pilot has earned the Class-IV FDR ribbon:
- 1st Lt. Ikurrece "Zippy" Ojima
From the desk of the Sabre OC:
As much as I tried to shovel off this paperwork to my new XO, I couldn't bring myself to dump it all on her. Don't want to scare her off just yet. So here are the latest fleet battles ribbons for the rest of the wing.
- 2nd Lt. El "McSmell" Faustus has earned the Class-VI FB ribbon
- FO Bakk "Wildcard" J'ruce has earnd the Class-IV FB ribbon
The next two pilots have gone above and beyond the call of duty and ground their backsides off to earn the Class-III FB Ribbon for reaching Valiant rank:
- Lt. Col 9-LOM "Syntax"
- Major Andrew "Dobber" Dobson
Before everybody runs to the SSD to run up a tab on these five pilots, there are a few administrative changes that need to be made known.
Joining the lore team as their squadrons' official lore officers are:
- 1st Lt. Kyle "Gnoizic" Mandal -- Buccaneer Squadron
- 1st Lt. Jeni "Angel" Courtner -- Spectre Squadron
Speaking of Lore updates, the following pilots have earned an update to their squadron citation ribbon for their recent after action reports!
- Major Andrew "Dobber" Dobson has earned 1 more ribbon for Just Another Day, bringing him up to 7!
- Major Andy "Bulldog" Clark has earned 2 more ribbons for his work on Spaced Out and Dance Dance Rebellion, requiring leadership to create a 10 ribbon device!
(Leadership thinks Bulldog is creating ribbons for himself just to make leadership create new ribbons...)
The following four individuals are earning their very first Citation Ribbon!
- 1st Lt John "Knight" Vorwald has earned 1 citation for his contributions to Alderaan, Endor, and some NPC and ship bios
- 1st Lt. Kyle "Gnoizic" Mandal has earned 1 citation for his contributions to Endor, Payback by Payload, and an NPC bio for the taskforce
- FO Dion "Loth Cat" Ninx has earned 1 citation for their story Dion's Tale
- FO Bakk "Wildcard" J'ruce for his very first Renegade story, Jade 2 Down.
And one more thing!
Due to the tireless efforts of our long-range SAR team led by Barraken, Major Adam "Guardian" Burns has officially been found. The previous Buccaneer Leader has been working in the SAR field of his own as he temporarily left the snub cockpit and decided to save lives rather than take them. He has been returned to his rightful place in the executive Renegade Flight as Chief Instructor for our Support and SAR flights!
That is all. Go drink some booze on their credit!
15 Aug 21
- A daring, covert mission to capture an intact Star Destroyer is in motion, but Dobber is still reeling from a devastating loss and working with anything but a focused mind.

22 Jul 21
From the desk of Sabre OC:
- For his efforts in flying with and training new pilots in the arts of Renegade Wing coordination and tactics, 1st Lt. Ikurrece "Zippy" Ojima has been named the Sabre Squadron Training Officer to go along with his recent promotion to 1st Lieutenant.

21 Jul 21
From the desk of Corsair XO:
From the desk of Sabre OC:
- Mercy flight is finally complete as the long lost SAR pilot of the original Renegade Wing task force has found his way home. 1st Lt. Rafael "Hyl" Guerra has returned to active duty status and filled the Sabre 8 billet, making him Mercy 4. His previous skills and experience will be a boon to the new iteration of the wing's SAR detachment.

18 Jul 21
- Hot off the heels of the raucous welcome party for Wolvinator into Buccaneer Squadron, they are selected for a strike mission with the aim of destroying important war materiel. Unfortunately, the condition the pilots are in would be generously called "operational" from their long night of partying. Can they pull it off? Take a look and find out in Payback by Payload part 1, a Buccaneer collaboration, in the Lounge!

Official Communication!
From the office of General Raymus Firth, Starfighter Command
- ATTN: Renegade Wing
The New Republic has taken possession of the first 12 of 36 Incom UT-60D U-wing starfighters to come off the production line since before the Battle of Yavin. Fleet have ordered Renegade Wing's current allocation of 5 U-Wing be returned for refit and redistribution. In return Renegade Wing will receive this first tranche of 12 starfighters so they may go, in Fleet's words "to where they will be most effectively used". This is an 80% increase in capacity and has required some Command restructure to allow the Wing to utilise this capability to full potential. Effective immediately:
- Sabre Squadron is raised to full combat status and all 12 new U-Wing are assigned as operational assets.
- The following personnel are to change billets, and rank insignia, immediately and Squadron Command Staff are to comply with orders extant for compartment briefings:
- Sabre Lead - Mainstay One: Maj Andy "Bulldog" Clark - Squadron OC
- Sabre Two - Mainstay Two: Capt Rosk "Silence" Vikeron - Squadron XO
- Sabre Five - Mercy One: 1st LT Ikurrece "Zippy" Ojima
- Sabre Six - Mercy Two: 2nd Lt Namieh "Tattoo" Calyse
- Sabre Seven - Mercy Three: Capt Moggaz "Barraken" Murg
- Sabre Nine - Mayhem One: Capt Conall "Shadow" McKenna
- Sabre Ten - Mayhem Two: 1st LT Mitch A."Rev" Ri'chard
- Sabre Eleven - Mayhem Three: 1st LT Josh "Hellcat" Kinney
Its not often a Wing gets to raise a new Squadron, and two is unherad of but it shows the faith Fleet, and the New Republic, have in Renegade Wing. On an occasion such as this, whatever tab you miscreants manage to run up in the SSD tonight, Command has got you covered. Congratulations to the newly promoted, and indeed all members of Renegade Wing, thank you for your continued efforts and enjoy the celebrations!
8 Jul 21
Official Communication!
From the office of General Raymus Firth, Starfighter Command
- ATTN: Renegade Wing
Be advised, fleet is aware of a deficiency in Renegade Wing, particularly in Buccaneer Squadron and we are taking steps to rectify this issue. Buccaneer is a unit that has upheld it's swashbuckling namesake from the early days of the Rebellion and has been the Power Punch behind the tip of the Rogue Spear. The Capital ship cost to the Empire from Buccaneer actions was not inconsiderable and those missing ships, had they been at Endor, would have painted a grim picture for us, but I digress, we have a deficiency to address:
Major Chris 'Animal' Stephen has been at the helm of Buccaneer since LT COL Tolle handed in his wings after the events following Endor. Maj Stephen had been Buccaneer XO for some time previous to that after transferring from Rogue Squadron where he had a long and storied career.
Maj Stephen has performed his duties as Squadron OC with diligant professionalism and has been a fitting role model to the ranks of heavy pilots coming into the system. It is my priviledge to announce that Lieutenant Colonel Stephen will be continuing to carry out those duties.
As is the way with you Renegades, Drinks are on the Lieutenant Colonel.
7 Jul 21
From the desk of Buccaneer OC:
- Renegade Wing members. I have spent the last couple of weeks traveling the galaxy looking for the next XO of Buccaneer squadron. This person needed to have flight skills, leadership experience, dashing good looks (but not too dashing) and the ability to lift heavy things, specifically datapads filled with duty rosters and performance results. I am confident that I've found the right man for the job. Please help me welcome the new Buccaneer XO, and newly promoted, Captain Corell “Foo” Davis.
- Although our roster may change Buccaneer Squadron continues to grow! Proving that deep space communications aren't always broken, Kevin “Raptor” Clayborn has made contact and answered the call for continued service to the New Republic. First Lieutenant Raptor will join Renegade Wing as Buccaneer 9 and his Capital Ship destruction skills will immediately be tested.
Please join me in extending Raptor a Warm Welcome and congratulating Foo, in The SSD! Where, of course, drinks are on them!!

From the data banks of Corsair OC:
- In recognition of his extensive time spent training new recruits and showing them how to fly the Renegade Wing way, 2nd Lieutenant Sigurd "BattleDog" Stormhand has been assigned as the Corsair Squadron Training Officer. In addition to this new assignment, he as been promoted to the rank of 1st Lieutenant, effective immediately. Let's help him celebrate his additional paperwork and decreased free time by draining his bank account at the SSD!
29 Jun 21
The low murmur of conversation in the hall subsided as the side door swooshed open and Stryker strode in. Jalb_k broke from the clutch of OC's where he'd been talking with Krayt, Syntax and Animal and walked over to the lectern. He barked a quick 'Ten -SHUN!' With a quick glance at the assembled pilots, officers and enlisted beings to ensure everyone had braced appropriately then snapped a crisp salute and held it until Stryker returned it with his usual laconical wave that hovered near his forehead for a moment. Jalb swiped his arm back down by the shortest route to the position of attention at his side and spoke.
"Sir, Renegade Wing is assembled, all Squadrons report complete."
"Thanks Chris, take a seat" Stryker said as he moved to the lectern and tapped a couple of times before looking up, "Ok, at ease everyone, it's been a busy couple of weeks and we've got a lot to go through..." he turned to look at the screen behind him "Firstly, the Vigilant's inaugural inter Wing Tournament has wrapped up, the Top Gun 2v2. You can find full results posted on the Wing Admin Board but I'd like to recognise the winners here. A round of applause for Rogue OC and XO if you please." There was an audible groan and a smattering of polite applause. Stryker guffawed and spared a glance back at Jalb, who shrugged and smiled.
"Yes, I know, hardly fair for anyone coming up against that pairing but someone stood tall and held their own, and some, in the series." Stryker paused and scanned the crowd and smiled when his eyes settled on Corsair 8. "2nd Lieutenant Sigurd "BattleDog" Stormhand... That was some of the best flying I've seen to date - right up to the part where you got killed!" The assembled pilots broke into laughter, hearing the line from one of startfighter commands favourite holos."That notwithstanding, you were one of 2 non Rogue qualified pilots in the final 8, and the only one to make the final. You acquitted yourself well, so well that Rogue Lead has had a word to me. As everyone is aware there are certain experiences and training milestones that a pilot must hit to be considered for Rogue selection. Your conduct and performance in the Tournament may have checked a couple of those boxes." He finished with a wink to Battledog.
"Right, moving on..." he glanced down to his pad, "Welcome Flight Officer Bakk “Wildcard” J'ruce! Wildcard has been assigned to Spectre Squadron, and will be taking on the twelfth slot." More applause and some whistles from other Spectres. "Wildcard joins Spectre fresh from Flight training and I'm told we need to keep him in X-Wings with an R2 for the time being because he can't navigate for shiv." This was met with a good deal of laughter and the new pilot felt elbows in the ribs from both sides.
"We have also received an interesting technician to be the lead of our new U-Wing maintenance team. Please welcome PLNK-M03, colloquially known as 'Snorp'" Stryker chuckled as he looked back at Jedi "which, according to the Wing XO's notes, is due to the sound this unit makes during operation. With the expertise in Incom starfighter maintenance and modifications aimed at maintenance, Snorp will be a vital part of keeping our fleet of U-Wings at peak operational capacity. We will shortly welcome the newcomers by going to the SSD and grabbing a drink while also pitching in for an oil bath!" This was met with cheers.
"However, before we dash off, we have one final task. Animal?" Stryker stepped back from the podium and pulled a small box from his pocket as the Buccaneer OC stepped up.
"Captain Andy "Bulldog" Clark, get up here!" Heads turned towards Bulldog as he sat with a dumbfounded 'I didn't do it' look on his face. "The CO is waiting 'dog." Animal said with a smile and started speaking again as Bulldog made his way up from the back of the auditorium.
"Captain Clark has been, until recently, Executive Officer of Buccaneer, my 2IC and a damn good friend. Bulldog is stepping down from XO to further his study into Fleet Operations but..." Animal looked up to see Bulldog had found his way up front and was standing in front of Stryker, who looked over and nodded to Animal. "Capt Clark is awarded the first Renegade Wing CO's Commendation! This Commendation is awarded only at the discretion of the CO and is awarded to recognize deeds or activities beyond the demand of normal duty." At this Stryker stepped forward and pinned a new badge to Bulldog's uniform, top and centre to his ribbon bar:
The inscription reads 'Renegade Wing - For Excellence' and is what Bulldog has displayed and is to recognize:
- His time as Bucc XO
- His ongoing work as Lore Master
- The recruits he has brought through and mentored
- The effort put into getting the 2v2 off the ground
- The work he's done to fill out the Task Force and supporting NPC creation, and
- Stepping up to understudy the Webmaster to the point where he can effectively maintain in their absence.

- Even in the Alliance, something so simple as a reshuffling of resources and units could sometimes be a heroic undertaking. Lock, Frosty, and Flash of the recently decimated Red Squadron learned this the hard way when their simple excursion ended up with a blown-up transport, commandeered Y-Wings, and surprise additions to the squadron. See the full story in: Unbecoming an Officer by Flash, Lock, and Frosty in the Lounge!
24 Jun 21
From the desk of Spectre XO, Captain Gemilan "Gremlin":
- Spectre Squadron's pilots have a broad range of skillsets, all the better to take the fight to the Imperials! They don't come much broader than the background of our newest pilot, Second Lieutenant Andika “Damak” Malim, who's taking the billet of Spectre 11. Head to the SSD to give him the usual Renegade Wing welcome - Krayt's offered to stand the first round!
11 Jun 21
From the cluttered desk of the Buccaneer XO:
With the rest of the CStaff busy doing the important mission planning and all of my strategies being "go in straight with all the warheads and smash them" not being viable, I have been left to my own devices and given a task to keep busy. Here are the pilots that have earned Squadron Citations for their work in keeping up the morale and updating the wing databanks with after-action reports.
Buccaneer has two recipients this time around.
- Animal has earned a citation for his work in writing Warm Welcome for outlining how all new pilots should be welcomed to the wing.
- Bulldog has earned a citation for co-writing Idiot's Array, reminding us all why Bothans are just the worst. He has also earned a citation for Gutshot, his story of why he went AWOL and how he got punished for it.
Rogue has two recipients as well.
- Lock is due 1 citation for co-writing Idiot's Array, making sure we all go to sleep feeling the legs of massive blaster resistant murder spiders on our minds.
- Jalb is due 1 citation for contributing to Idiot's Array as well as two separate parts of Defend the Vigilant, showing how stoic leadership can carry the day.
Corsair has only 1 recipient this time around.
- Silence is due 1 citation for co-writing Gutshot, outlining her efforts to bring the wayward Bulldog back home safe and sound.
Spectre is also included with 1 pilot earning TWO ribbons.
- Gremlin has earned a citation for her work on the Ready Room Tale as well as her I, Gemi tale, showing us where she came from and also reminding us how we got the sweet digs we're currently chilling in onboard the Vigilant. She also has earned a citation for writing the Mynock's Last Stand, refreshing our leadership on how Red Squadron came to be in possession of their last warship, the CRS Morning Star.
All of these pilots are doing great work keeping the rest of us up to date on the missions we personally weren't a part of!

From the offices of the Renegade Wing Executive:
- Congratulations to Flight Officer Ikurrece “Zippy” Ojima in earning a citation for his exemplary work representing Renegade Wing abroad by attending WoW. While we're all here primarily for fun and each other's companionship we take our core ideals seriously and Zippy has done the Wing proud. Well done!
- We would also like to welcome Moggaz "Barraken" Murg to the wing as Mercy Three. His vast contributions in the SAR field to find and rescue so many lost pilots has ensured our ranks are never empty, as it is almost always assured Murg will find our EV pilots and bring them home whole. Due to his past service record he has been conferred the rank of Captain. Please welcome him home the only way we know how... by running up his tab in the SSD!
Lt Colonel Bill "Jedi" Morrison, Renegade Wing XO"
From the desk of Rogue OC, LTCOL Chris "Jalb_k" Reynolds:
- Major Andrew "Dobber" Dobson is awarded the first Fleet Defence Ribbon Class III for achieving Valiant in Star Wars: Squadrons ranked Fleet Battle. Dobber becomes the second highest ranked Wing pilot, and the first to attain the Class III FDR (after Thanatos bypassed it completely on his way to Legend and Class II). The Major can afford a substantial tab so let's impress Iggy!
From the desk of Buccaneer OC, MAJ Chris "Animal" Stephen:
- In recognition of their contributions to the wing in writing, flight ops, and consistent lounge activity, I hereby promote Flight Officer Dion “Loth-Cat” Ninx to Second Lieutenant. While they do not partake in alcohol (we Buccs are well aware of this and begrudgingly allow it), Blue Milks are on them!
From the desk of Corsairr OC, LTCOL 9-LOM "Syntax":
- For his continued contributions and positive participation in Renegade Wing activities, as well as sustained demonstraitions of what it means to be a pilot in Corsair Squadron (read into this however you wish), it is with great pride that Flight Officer Malcom “Freak” MacCurrich is promoted to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. Please help him test his budgeting skills by pushing his finances to the limit with a healthy bar tab.
From the desk of Spectre OC, LTCOL Alrick "Krayt" Durgan:
- I am pleased to announce that Spectre Squadron's very own Marshal "FLATTOP" Westfolder is hereby promoted to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant; having served faithfully and actively within Renegade Wing; lending both his support and strike skills; and quick wit as the occasion demands. We are pleased to see his progress within the Wing and look forward to what's ahead.
Please join me in congratulating FLATTOP on his promotion, and enjoy a drink on his tab.
31 May 21
- Sex, booze, rock and roll? A Jedi craves not these things... but a young Bulldog does. The past has a funny way of pulling the strings on your future. See what kind of mess Bulldog's past gets him into in part 1 of "Gutshot", a 2 part story by Bulldog and Silence in the Lounge.
25 May 21
From the desk of Rogue OC, LTCOL Chris "Jalb_k" Reynolds:
- Major Andrew "Dobber" Dobson is awarded the SWS Clasp to his Rogue Service Medal to recognise completion of Rogue Requirements-SW:Squadrons. Dobber is the second serving Rogue, after Thanatos, to achieve this clasp.
Dobber has also upgraded his Veteran Service Ribbon - Diamond Pip with a Gold Gilt Border, denoting completion of 80% of the XvT Balance of Power Rebel combat missions with at least top performances.
- I've also been informed by the Corsair XO that his Clanker OC had tasked him with uploading his qualification for Gold Gilt Border of his Elite Service Ribbon - Diamond Pip to Wing HQ. In their absence I'll not stand on formality afix this shiny new restraining bolt... I mean, Ribbon, to Corsair OC, Syntax
Congratulations are in order, and drinks are on them.
- Nowadays people tend to forget that the early days of the Rebellion were ramshackle cells and squadrons working alone with whatever tools they had at hand. Some units fared better than others; some had the unfortunate series of circumstances that made their current situations untenable yet also the wildly good fortune to find the exact thing they needed to keep taking the fight to the Empire. See the humble home of Red Squadron and how they managed to upgrade after a wild twist of fate in "The Mynock's Last Stand" in the Lounge, modified and edited for publication by Gremlin!
17 May 21
- We've all had that one person that we've known all our lives and have felt a strong connection with. See what happens when Corsair Squadron's XO runs into that person to him during the festivities on Endor after the destruction of the Second Death Star in Farewell to Yesterday, now in the Lounge complements of Wolf!
10 May 21
- Extreme Makeovers! Who loves them? Well, to be honest, who doesn't... but ever wondered how the Vigilant got such an... interesting Ready Room? The newest ship in the fleet with a Ready Room that looks as well used and permanent looking as the Vigilant's doesn't come from a tradesman's tools, it needs a little heart with a sprinkling of soul. Read all about Gremlin and Talon's hijinkery and inventive manipulation of directives and orders in The Tale of the Ready Room! Now in the Lounge!
2 May 21
- The Buccaneers pride themselves on courage and operating under extreme circumstances. Consider the following an in-depth look at one of the more unorthodox team building methods honed throughout the years by Animal in Warm Welcome! Now in the Lounge!
26 Apr 21
- When we left Lock and Bulldog, they were stranded on a hostile planet. Will they find a way to escape? Will they be rescued? Will they be eaten by massive spider monsters? Catch the exciting conclusion of Idiot's Array in the Lounge!
19 Apr 21
- It's a dangerous life as an X-Wing pilot. Many choose to leave family behind, to stop them from getting hurt. But every now and then, when a pilot gets lucky, they get a chance to go home. Enjoy this tale from Renegade Wing's Spectre XO, Gremlin!

Official Communication!
From the office of General Raymus Firth, Starfighter Command
As most of you are well aware your Wing hosts one of the New Republic's greatest assets, Rogue Squadron. To say the existence of our New Republic is due in no small part to these pilots would be saying too little but oft times not enough is said. Rogues are exemplar, gracious victors and compassionate warriors, ruthless when required but it's not just in the cockpit they make a mark. They are teachers and trainers, freely giving of their time, when available, and experience. With that goes strong leadership by example, there's a reason that all your Wing OCs are Rogue qualified; and that is the crux of this communique.
Starfighter Command has long leant on the qualities and capabilities of Rogue Squadron personnel and as much as those pilots are recognised with that patch on their flightsuit when they move on much is classified, filed away and recognition wanes. That changes with the introduction of the Rogue Service Medal. This medal recognises the service and qualities of those that have earnt Rogue selection and clasps are issued for the the phases of the war at which they earnt, and flew as a Rogue. The list of recipient's is impressive but we don't need to write it down, just look for the ribbon on their chest, you'll know who they are.
 
12 Apr 21
- Shore Leave is looming for Renegade wing after the Vigilant Task Force narrowly survived the ambush chronicled in the Defend the Vigilant Theatre release. Everybody is looking forward to some much-needed time off the line. However, ghosts of the past have a habit of coming back to torment you, especially when that ghost is your ex-CO who hasn't forgotten your insubordination. See how Lock and Bulldog unwillingly take one for the entire wing in "Idiot's Array Part 1" in the Lounge, by Lock and Bulldog, with contributions from Battledog.
11 Apr 21
From Officer Commanding Buccaneer Squadron
- It is with great pleasure that I report the successful transfer of Lieutenant Corell “Foo” Davis into the ranks of Buccaneer Squadron. He has shown a high aptitude for teamwork, leadership, and Capital Ship Assault. He will now be known as Buccaneer 10. Raise a glass in welcome, if there is any left.
Welcome Foo!
7 Apr 21
From the desk of Buccaneer XO
Yep, me again...While the rest of the CStaff is drinking their way through to a hangover in celebration of Rogue Leader's recent award, it has fallen to the most experienced drinker in the wing to maintain functionality enough to get wing business done. To that end, the following pilots have earned the Class-IV FDR ribbon for their efforts in the fight against the Empire:
Also, earning his first wing ribbon ever is FO Ikurrece “Zippy” Ojima, earning a Class-V FDR ribbon.
Also in line for recognition are the pilots that are busting their backsides to make sure Renegade morale continues to remain high during these trying times. As such, the following pilots are most deserving of Squadron Citations:
Please join me in the SSD with the rest of the CStaff and drink to their success... on their dime!

- Everybody in the galaxy didn't know about the war raging between the Empire and Rebel Alliance. Many people on smaller backwater planets had no idea. See what happens when one such person is caught up in the war they knew nothing about in "Dion's Tale", the Origin story of Buccaneer Three, Loth-Cat!
4 Apr 21
- From CO Renegade Wing COL Vince "Stryker" Rambo:
There are times in the life of any group or organization when the membership as a whole must take a moment and thank those whose tireless efforts have made the group what it is today. From picking up the pieces from the previous webmaster; to maintaining the web presence of an inactive group over the better part of two decades – to then jumping back in feet first as soon as life came back into the group; picking things up like nothing has been missed – faithfully maintaining and establishing resources that allow Renegade Wing to function, communicate, attract and retain new members.
There isn't much more we can do than say “Thank you” to our Rogue Leader, Chris “Jalb_K” Reynolds – and – by unanimous agreement among the CO's and XO's of the group; award him our groups highest honor – The Star of Freedom! 
This award has not been given in many years – but there are few in our community who could ever claim to have given enough to deserve it. Please join me in raising a glass to Jalb in thanks for his tireless efforts on our behalf!
Special thanks to Corsair 12, Rosk "Silence" Vikeron, for her exceptional updated rendering of this award!
Webmaster footnote: I'm not crying, you're crying.

Official Communication!
From the office of General Raymus Firth, Starfighter Command
- ATTN: Renegade Wing
Lieutenant Corell “Foo” Davis has been acting Renegade Wing Fleet Liaison for several weeks and, according to reports from both HQ elements, has been doing a fine job. With recent operational successes and the liberation of several Imperial held sectors new subspace links have been enabled to support Military operations so the requirement for Fleet Liaisons is no longer and all current Liaison Officers have been recalled. Except for Lieutenant Davis.
With a long history of service to the Alliance with Green, Grey and Blue Squadrons under the DJO Fleet banner Lieutenant Davis has requested permanent posting to Renegade Wing which has been strongly supported by the leadership of that organisation. While DJO Fleet is unhappy losing a pilot of Lieutenant Davis' quality it is recognised that his skills and ability are better suited to the nature of Renegade Wing operations in our 'New Republic' and in light of vacancies aboard the Vigilant Lieutenant Corell “Foo” Davis is officially transferred to Renegade Wing Support Squadron as Sabre (Support) Lead.
Once again, Foo is 'the New Guy' and as is the tradition in Renegade Wing, drinks are on the New Guy.

- After a much needed break from the front lines while the Vigilant undergoes repairs, Frosty and Bulldog are sent off on a scouting mission in the Zavian Abyss. When they come back, they aren't sure what is real or what is fake. Come join us in The Lounge and experience the madness for yourself in "Spaced Out" by Bulldog and Frosty!
23 Mar 21 - Supplemental
- From Officer Commanding Rogue Squadron
As the OC of a front line fighting squadron it's imperative that you are able to read and sustain the morale of your unit. Sustaining that morale is far easier said than done however, having someone in a position to help and, indeed, proactively push to maintain your unit's good will is an absolute boon to your command. It's also the reason for the existence of the Legion of the Bright Star. The medal rewards those who raise the spirits of all New Republic personnel and is awarded to individuals who contribute to overall humor and good cheer.
For his continuing work and contributions towards maintaining the morale of Renegade Wing, and the NR as a whole, through his writing and editorial contributions, his selfless dedication to the Wing and general interactions throughout our media channels, it is my greatest pleasure to award Rogue Nine, and my good friend, Captain Roy "Lock" Callahan the Legion of The Bright Star. You may drink to his health... On his tab of course!
23 Mar 21
- From the desk of Buccaneer XO:
As the least senior XO in the wing, it has fallen to me to process a ton of backlogged paperwork. Settle in, as it'll be a long one.
- 2nd Lt Jack "Frosty" McCauley is awarded two Squadron Citations for his work on the tales "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" and "Drunken Lullabies", as well as his immense contribution toward the group project "Cinder to Ash".
- Captain Kell "Dragon" Arcfire has earned his first Squadron Citation for "Dark Protocol" and "Defender", his two tales.
- Major Myke "Wolf" Krenn is awarded another Squadron Citation for writing an entire arc of Defend the Vigilant, "Wild Weasel".
- Captain Roy "Lock" Callahan is in line for four Squadron Citations! Due for his contributions to "Drunken Lullabies", "Alderaan Anthology", and "Bloody Bantha", as well as his writing "Consolidation and Loss", "Endor", and writing/organizing "Cinder to Ash".
- Major Andrew "Dobber" Dobson is awarded one more Squadron Citation for his "Shore Leave" story.
- Lt. Col Chris "Jalb_k" Reynolds is awarded another Squadron Citation for his writing credit on "Cinder to Ash".
- Lt Jeni "Angel" Courtner is awarded two Squadron Citations for her contributions on three arcs of the Defend the Vigilant storyline as well as her writing additions to "Cinder to Ash".
- and finally, Captain Gemilan "Gremlin" is presented a another Squadron Citation for her contributions to "Alderaan Anthology", "Cinder to Ash", and "Bloody Bantha".
While I lack the flowery prose that many of the other XO's or OC's have, these pilots are integral to the entertainment and morale of the entire wing. Drinks are on all of the pilots here for the next week!
22 Mar 21
- A new offering in The Lounge: When the chips were down after a disastrous mission, the survivors of the fledgling Bantha Squadron are forced to look within to find their own reasons to keep on fighting. For Lock, Gremlin, and Frosty, it is to honor those that were lost by becoming the next iteration of Red Squadron; to be the symbols of hope for the fragile Rebellion. Experience the loss and turmoil in "Bloody Bantha" by Lock, Gremlin, and Frosty.
16 Mar 21
- The Raid on Nabrisk is over and M-Base has been evacuated for fear of an Imperial reprisal. The Wing licks it's wound on Mon Cala, waiting to discover the fate of their leader. Check out Cinder to Ash's resolution in Episode IV. Remember, you can get caught up on previous Chapters, and other great episodicals, in The Theatre!
11 Mar 21
- Renegade Wing welcome Flight Officer Ikurrece “Zippy” Ojima to the RWSS as Mercy One. As a veteran SAR pilot, he's been pulling pilots out of burning wrecks for many years. Though he spent many of those years with the Empire, he now plans to be around to help pull us out when we get in trouble. Here's hoping his life aboard the Vigilant is nice and boring!
Welcome Zippy!
08 Mar 21
- Renegade Wing is home to some of the most talented pilots in the New Republic. As such, they are sometimes given a little more... leeway than other units. See what happens when a prank war gets out of control in "Bad Influence", by Corsair Squadron's own ne'er-do-well, Frosty.
6 Mar 21
From the desk of Rogue OC, LTCOL Chris "Jalb_k" Reynolds:
- Major Andrew "Dobber" Dobson continues his assault on Star Wars: Squadrons Campaign and is awarded the Platinum Clasp to his New Republic Starfighter Cross, The Platinum Clasp is a subsequent award for 100% completion of 'ALL' Campaign missions on Ace difficulty . It is inscribed with the words "Know Your Enemy" as it signifies the wearer is just as capable in an enemy ship.
Dobber has also upgraded the Device on his Veteran Service Medal to Diamond Pip for earning 100 Top Performances in XvT.
Congratulations are in order, and drinks are on him.
From the desk of Buccaneer OC, Maj Chris "Animal" Stephen:
- I have the genuine privilege to award Andy “Bulldog” Clark with a pair of squadron citations. Through his writing efforts, and those of others, he has put a strain on the wings supply of datapads with tales of intrigue and gallantry. His contributions include writing the tales “Hard days make harder nights” and “Failing Upward.” He was also a member of the writing team that brought you “Cinder to Ashes.”
But wait, there's more! Bulldog has dusted off the training sims of old and has qualified for the Red Squadron Advanced Training Ribbon through the Red Training Missions.
I have sliced his bar tab to buy everyone a drink on him, but make sure you stay hydrated while you read all these amazing stories!
01 Mar 21
- The Raid on Nabrisk goes ahead even with the Renegade's morale at it's lowest point. Jalb struggles between his duty to the New Republic and his duty to his pilots, as he attempts to protect them from the merciless General Shen'ryu, who would kill all of them just to get what he wants... Did the Renegades survive the Battle of Endor just to die here? Find out in Episode III of Cinder to Ash! Remember, you can get caught up on previous episodes and other great features at The Vigilant's Greater Five Theatre!
Additionally, Corsair XO slipped a note under the door of the Chief Clerk's office during the night... Apparently his OC has threatened his coffee ration and would like the Bridge staff to make the following correction:
- After Capt Arcfire, Syntax, Corsair OC was the second recipient of the Starfighter Cross (Date of Promulgation 20/02/21)
- Third recipient was Dobber, Rogue 3 (Date of Promulgation 22/02/21)
In the words of Corsair XO, that Spectre guy doesn't even rate a place...
28 Feb 21
From the desk of Rogue OC, LTCOL Chris "Jalb_k" Reynolds:
- Fresh from overachieving in the Historic missions and to continue his personal battle with Captain Arcfire, Rogue 3, Major Andrew "Dobber" Dobson is awarded the Wing's second New Republic Starfighter Cross, for having earned 100% of the avaialable Achievements in Star Wars: Squadrons on his platform.
From the office of Major Myke "Wolf" Krenn, Corsair XO:
- Renegade Wing has some of the most elite pilots in the Galaxy, but everyone starts somewhere. For his tireless efforts in training and engaging with recruits, 2nd Lt Siguard "BattleDog" Stormhand is hereby awarded a Squadron Citation Ribbon.
- LT COL 9-LOM "Syntax" continues to dazzle with his run through the old awards! It's like he's a machine!
With a Mineracing time of 7:13, Syntax has been awarded the Silver Sunburst!
Raise a glass of your favorite drink to Syntax!
(now stop it)
From Spectre XO, Captain Gemilan "Gremlin":
- Many congratulations to Second Lieutenant Edwyn "Talon" KalDan, who has been awarded the New Republic Starfighter Cross for completing all Star Wars: Squadrons achievements! He's Spectre's first Ace and only the third holder of this award in the Wing.
Talon has also been awarded the Starhawk Campaign Ribbon - Silver and to mark both achievements, he's gained the right to buy everyone a drink on his tab, so please join us in the SSD to celebrate! #DrinksOnTalon
26 Feb 21
- Where were you when you first heard of the Destruction of Alderaan? It was one of most defining and devastanting moments of the Galactic Civil War, and an act that cemented the evil of the Empire in the minds of many. The following is a series of stories of some of the pilots of Renegade Wing, where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. Please, enjoy our anthology simply titled ALDERAAN
23 Feb 2021
From Major Myke "Wolf" Krenn, Executive Officer Corsair Squadron:
- It's my pleasure to award the following to a droid who is not only precise but a completionist. Syntax, Corsair OC, is therefore awarded the following:
- The New Republic Starfighter Cross
- The Starhawk Campaign Ribbon - Silver
And in a remarkable throwback, Syntax has fired up the Red Squadron training to shake off any ... er rust. Therefor he is awarded the following:
- The Advanced Training Ribbon from Red Squadron
- Further, It is with great trepidation and assurances to NR HR of mental clarity that we announce that Flight Officer Jack "Frosty" McCauley is hereby promoted to 2nd Lieutenant.
Frosty has been an invaluable member of Corsair Squadron and Renegade Wing both in time and participation. Please raise a mug that his credits will now fill.
- Finally, the overachieving Captain Kell "Dragon" Arcfire has removed himself from the Simulation Deck, along with Rogue 3, Major Andrew "Dobber" Dobson, where the two of them have been hammering the historic missions. Rogue Leader has informed me that both Dragon and Dobber (the former due to some Rogue 3 tactical assistance apparently) have now achieved Mine Racing times of 7:20 or better, earning them the Platinum Supernova!
To The SSD!
22 Feb 21
- Friends continue to reunite, and Renegade Wing continues to rebuild its strength in spite of the best efforts of The Mukani Base Commandant. Buoyed by a successful sortie, can Jalb continue to keep all of his pilots whole, both mentally and physically? Come see the tenuous progress in C2A's Episode 2 Here! Remember, you can get caught up on previous episodes and other great features at The Vigilant's Greater Five Theatre!
19 Feb 21
- While the rest of Renegade Wing is engaged in a struggle for their lives, Task Force 1 inadvertently started a battle for their souls, and it's one they may not win. See the exciting beginning of the Defend the Vigilant storyline in Arc 1.1: Weasel One by Corsair Squadron's XO, Wolf! Head down to The Vigilant's Greater Five Theatre to catch it now!
16 Feb 21
- Weary of war and in the throes of rebirth, Endor veterans from Renegade Wing and Red Squadron try to make sense of their situation - throw in a base full of Cadets and an overly ambitious General and you have a recipe for chaos. Read as things begin to unfold on Mukani in Episode I of Cinder to Ash, screening in The Theatre now!

Official Communication!
From the office of Rear Admiral Chris '007' Fisto, New Republic Fleet Attache (TRA)
- ATTN: Renegade Wing
With the expansion of the New Republic and systems joining daily we are finding subspace channels being taken from Military Operations and assigned to administrative and diplomatic missions. This is cauing some disruption to Task Force communications and command intent. General Firth, along with Colonel Rambo and Renegade Wing Squadron command staff have conducted several subspace conferences over the past weeks and Fleet has ratified plans for Liaison Officers to be posted to all NR Task Forces to enable transmission of operational support and training communications between Fleet, Task Force, Wing and Squadrons.
To that end Lieutenant Corell “Foo” Davis is posted to Renegade Wing Support Squadron as Sabre One and will be fulfilling the duties of Fleet Liaison Officer.
As I believe the tradition is for Renegade Wing, word travels quickly in sub-space, drinks are on the New Guy. 007 Out.

12 Feb 21
- Pirates, thespians, imperials, oh my! Rogue squadron's Dobber hadn't planned to spend his vacation in such an exciting fashion. Catch the exciting conclusion in Shore Leave part 4!. Remember, you can always get caught up in in The Lounge
10 Feb 21
From OC Rogue Squadron
- I am of the understanding that, after last weeks Presentation Ceremony, the SSD was very nearly drunk dry for the first time in Renegade Wing's history. This makes a Macquarian like me very, very proud! Unfortunately the free drinks have been claimed and everyone seems to be paying for their own. I think we can fix that
It is my honour to award Major Andrew "Dobber" Dobson the Starhawk Campaign Ribbon - Platinum.
This award acknowledges the efforts of a pilot going above and beyond earning 100% of the Republic Campaign Mission Medals on Ace difficulty! Well done Major Dobson and I can confirm his pay grade can support the bar tab, drinks on Dobber!
- With the impending release of the newly gazetted Rogue Service Medal and Clasps (XWING, XVT, SWS) the original Rogue Requirements for X-Wing have been pulled from archive and are accessible for the first time in nearly 25 years! Multi-player not for you or just have a hankering to see if you can do what some of us did in the Golden Ages? Now you can, admission to Rogue will be considered for pilots fullfilling any one set of game selection criteria, now listed under recruiting.
9 Feb 21
- CorSec and the Rebel Alliance have a storied history, sometimes good, sometimes bad, like any good cop show. Under the Empire, sometimes the law isn't right and you're forced to become a Renegade. That's how Malcom "Freak" MacCurrich came to the Wing, joining the A-wing rocket maniacs as Corsair 6.
8 Feb 2021
- Even in defeat, there can be victory. Sometimes it just requires an outside perspective to silence our hardest critics: ourselves. Take a look as a recently promoted Captain leads his first mission and the fallout in "Failing Upward" by Buccaneer Squadron's XO, Bulldog. It, and many others available in The Lounge. Get yourself a caf, hit a spare couch and settle in for a good read!
6 Feb 2021
- Finally, after all of the excitement, Dobber finds the time to settle down and enjoy his much-deserved shore leave. Unfortunately it appears the dinner theater drew some guests with other plans. See what true rest and relaxation looks like before it gets disrupted in Shore Leave: Part 3 by Dobber from Rogue Squadron. If you missed them check out Parts 1 & 2 in The Lounge now.
4 Feb 2021
From 9LOM "Syntax", Officer Commanding Corsair Squadron:
- 2nd Lieutenant Kell "Dragon" Arcfire is hereby awarded the Starhawk Campaign Ribbon - Platinum. This award acknowledges the efforts of a pilot going above and beyond earning 100% of the Republic Campaign Mission Medals on Ace difficulty!
- Further, for sustained demonstrations of gallantry, perseverance, leadership initiative, and teamwork, 2nd Lieutenant Arcfire is hereby promoted to the rank of Captain, effective immediately. Additionally, in recognition of his efforts to improve the skills and tactics of his teammates, he has also been appointed as Corsair Squadron's Tactical Officer. I am confident Captain Arcfire will continue to be a shining example of everything Corsair Squadron is capable of. As per usual, drinks are on him (again); I'm confident his bump in pay can accommodate his upcoming bar tab.
2 Feb 2021Transcript of awards ceremony
Speaker: Corsair XO:
Corsair Squadron has a decorated history in the Rebel Alliance, and now as we begin a New Republic, it's time for Corsair to distinguish itself again. It is my honor to award the following:
Let's all drink to these accomplishments (on them of course)! The future of Corsair is bright and looking shinier every day.
Speaker: Buccaneer XO:
Per the recent New Republic Starfighter Command directive on new decorations, it is my honor to award the following ribbons to the Buccaneer Squadron pilots that qualify for them. The last guy in this list is a really good looking dude- but you didn't hear that from me.
Since this came from my desk, the drinks are on the first two names listed.
Speaker: Buccaneer OC
Step down Bulldog, you will be buying drinks... In recognition for his continued commitment to Renegade Wing, I would like to award Captain Andy “Bulldog” Clark a further Squadron Citation for his work on the Defend the Vigilant story. He has also shown initiative as Buccaneer XO in greeting new recruits to the wing and continues to excel in his role as Loremaster. A toast for Bulldog is in order! I also believe that's his fourth SC so 4 rounds should cover it.
Speaker: Rogue XO
In as much as our OC rarely stands on formality and prefers the down key approach I believe it's my duty, and privilege, to recognise our pilots. Although it may be expected of a Rogue it still takes hard work and perserverance to earn your stripes, to coin a ground pounder phrase and would recognise the following recipients of these awards:
Speaker: Rogue OC
As well I may not, but there are times that the honor of leading this group of people is almost more than I think I am deserving of and in this case I shall not stint. Major Tony "Thanatos" Marco is my Offensive Lineman, he covers and protects my blindside and ensures the plays get executed the way they're planned and steps up to lead the play if there's a breakdown. There are many things an XO does to keep a Squadron going but the single most important thing to me is that they have their OC's back, there is a united front from Command and they lead by example... and what an example he sets.
It gives me the greatest of pleasure to award Major Marco the Class II Fleet Defense Ribbon, and, against normal protocol, I will be the first to buy his drinks!
Congratulations to all recipients, thank you for your hard work, your extra efforts and, above all else, your commitment to each other. Go Renegades!
1 Feb 2021
- This is the way... to kick off Fan Fiction February!
Everybody thinks the Empire died the moment the second Death Star was destroyed and the party was ready to start, but many pilots and personnel still had important work and very serious introspection to do in the intervening days. Take a look at the tale of a determined SAR pilot and her new friends pushing through the post-battle depression and festive atmosphere to do the work that still needed to be done in: Consolation and Loss, by Gremlin, Lock, and Tattoo, available in The Lounge now.

- So, you wanna be a Rogue? Star Wars: Squadrons Selection criteria for the Republic's most vaunted Squadron have been published! Check out the update on the Rogue Recruiting Page. Note, these are selection criteria, not just requirements for admission. As for all Renegade Wing's Squadrons, the ability to do what we do doesn't make you like us... Hang around for a while, you'll see what we mean. Vanguard Squadron? Who are they? Didn't see any of those scrubbs at Endor.
24 Jan 2021
21 Jan 2021
- Not all of a pilot's life is spent within the confines of a cockpit. We take vacations and like to turn our brains off just as much as the next person. Take a look at the day in the life of a pilot taking a break in the Tale Shore Leave, a four part miniseries by Rogue Squadron's Dobber. It looks to be a relaxing time! Or is it? Check out Part 1 in The Lounge now.
19 Jan 2021
- From Buccaneer XO:
- Continuing to cover for my OC... I should probably get him listed MIA... But I digress. As the most overworked and underpaid XO in this Wing it is my pleasure to award Flight Officer Whitemont with his first Squadron Citation Ribbon. Earned through the recent release of the conclusion to the Defend the Vigilant POV it marked participation in 3 group POV projects but am assured there are more which we may eagerly await in the coming months. As is our custom, drinks are on him, not me.

- Officer Commanding Corsair Squadron, Syntax, is pleased to announce the placement of two new Corsair pilots:
Flight Officer Thös "Bone" Sherru and 2nd Lieutenant Sigurd "BattleDog" Stormhand. With the addition of these two pilots, Corsair Squadron is back at full strength;
- Bone joins us as Corsair 2. He has a 'checkered' past but the call to put an end to the Empire and serve the New Republic, although not where he thought he'd be, was strong enough to make him realise Renegade Wing was where he needed to be.
- The new Corsair 8 should be familiar to all here as Battledog has been aboard the Vigilant and around the Flight Deck and SSD for some time now. While most were unaware of his status his technical assistance and tactical acumen has been of immense help to many of the pilots aboard.
While this sees Corsair to full strength please don't hesitate to submit applications should you wish to serve with Renegadeas places are always opening as pilots are promoted, find a niche with a new craft or move to ship board operations. Please join us in welcoming Bone and Battledog, may they serve long and well!
31 Dec 2020
- Could the Imperials set an effective trap? Could they avoid the mistakes of previous Imperial Commanders and not have it backfire? Backing Renegade Wing into a corner is not often a winning strategy, but this time it might just have worked.
Read the harrowing tale of the leftover fighters that weren't sent out on strike in "Defend the Vigilant Arc 1.3: Left Behind", creatively constructed by Bulldog, Ant, Jalb, Jasted, and Angel and available in the Theatre along with ARC 1.2.

Lt Col Durgan
- The days of blindly accepting Imperial defectors into key positions of the New Republic are long gone. However, sometimes an ex-Imperial can earn his way into the good graces of New Republic Starfighter Command by acts of extreme compassion and bravery. Read the story of the straw that broke the Dragon's back in: Defender, by Corsair Squadron's own Dragon, available in the Lounge now.

The additions mean 3 Silver Star device clasps for his Squadron Citation and mark a total of 4 awards. Congratulations Dobber!

- Further, due to Bulldog's activities throughout the last months, both onboard the Vigilant and in Squadrons briefings and missions; the leadership and professionalism he has displayed has been of the highest order, asserts his position as a Rogue and continues to serve the New Republic and all it's ideals and has left me with no choice but to promote him to Captain, effective immediately with all the benefit and priviledge conferred by said rank! In other words drinks are on him!
27 Dec 2020
- From CO Renegade Wing COL Vince "Stryker" Rambo:
For his dedicated efforts in the lore team and recent contributions to the lore of the wing in multiple recent projects, both solo and collaborative, it is my great pleasure to give LT COL Alrick "Krayt" Durgan another Squadron Citation Ribbon to add to the plethora of ribbons already on his dress uniform.

I would also like announce the promotion of Flight Officer Edwyn "Talon" KalDan to 2nd Lieutenant. Though he has been with Renegade Wing for a short time, he has shown an unparalleled enthusiasm for the game and our group, bringing people together to fly, regularly attempting to recruit new pilots, and spending time passing on the skills he's learned to others in the wing by holding #driftliketalon training sessions. Please join me in congratulating Talon on his promotion and lightening his pockets with a drink or two on his tab.

- With the release of Star Wars Squadrons, the New Republic has been sending new pilots that show a considerable amount of skill our way--such is the case with this A-Wing ace. Corsair Squadron, and all of Renegade Wing, welcomes Flight Officer Ko "IceGecko" as Corsair 8! Welcome to the War, Gecko, may your enemies fear your name.
23 Oct 2020
- Chief Clerk has given the Adjutant a stern talking to because someone's been sleeping in the Ready Room because they haven't been assigned a cabin yet. Let's fix that!
- Welcome Flight Officer Anton "Ant" Whitemont, Corsair Nine! Ant is a veteran of the Endor campaign and served with the Alliance hero, Arvel Crynyd. Fortunately Ant has better shield management and was able to survive that battle (one of the few Greens that did) and found his way to Renegade Wing. Apparently Corsair's OC offered him a position but his new XO wasn't aware he had to do the administration to make it official. Drink's on Corsair XO!
19 Oct 2020
- With the Wing in full combat operations we've got a lot going on, not the least of which being Buccaneer and Rogue Requirements. Buccaneer may be finalised in the coming weeks but we're not likely to see Rogue requirements until at least the finish of the first Squadron's Operation phase. Having said that, one requirement will be previous membership of an Alliance Squadron so don't hold back, apply for Corsair, or the soon to be raised for Combat, Spectre Squadron now!
- Along with the requirements we've made a couple of updates to our Bio Guide page, take a look.
14 Oct 2020
- It's been a long time coming but OC Corsair Squadron has finally selected a meatbag to act as his XO. With the Squadron carrying only two vacancies (both likely to be filled soon) a full strength squadron is going to need a top notch XO. A combat Veteran with the experience and capability to mentor new pilots as they leave training behind; Myke "Wolf" Krenn is herewith promoted to Major and assigned the duty of Corsair Squadron XO! We know where the drinks are coming from!
- Corsair Squadron has also to officially welcome Corsair Four, Flight Officer Kyle "Junior" Reynolds. At 19 he may appear young but he flew a Z-95 to help thwart an Imperial invasion at 16 and was also with us at Endor... besides, when your old man is who he is, you have a certain reputation to uphold! So to assist Wolf with that burgeoning bar tab please welcome Junior!
13 Oct 2020
- Welcome Corsair Six! Another transfer from Red Squadron sees Corsair's comabt effectiveness take another step up with the addition of First Lieutenant Conall "Shadow" McKenna into the vacancy. A long serving Red Squadron pilot and veteran of the Endor Campaign Renegade welcomes and is happy to have Shadow aboard... You know who's buying the drinks (Iggy also reads the daily orders so he knows you have an open tab).
- Corsair Squadron has also finalised entry requirements for Star Wars: Squadrons. Please see their recruiting page for details.
10 Oct 2020
- From LT COL Durgan, OC RWSS:
A couple of weeks ago,Flight Officer Marshal Westfolder joined us as part of the training squadron. He has completed his flight training and decided to specialize in the U-Wing starfighter. Effective immediately he will be assigned to Sabre Squadron as Sabre 2! Please join me in welcoming FLATTOP to the wing!
8 Oct 2020
- Here we all were thinking the webmaster has it easy now, kicking back in the Ready Room knocking back Ion Suckers when he's not flying and bagging himself Imperial kills, but no! Renegade Wing never stops and everybody wants to be a Renegade, especially this guy:
Everybody please welcome 2nd Leuitenant Kell "Dragon" Arcfire, the new Corsair Five (and a more than worthy pilot in my old Corsair Billet)! Dragon is Imperial Academy trained but is well aware of what the New Republic stands for; His first action in defiance of the Empire saved hundreds of refugees and turned him into a death marked fugitive, just the type we like.
- With Dragon's acceptance to the Wing there are also a couple of decorations to go around:
- For being Steely Eyed A-Wing men and defending the Liberty in multiplayer, proving the ability to work with a team to achieve outstanding results both Dragon and Talon (Corsair Three) are awarded the Renegade Wing Defence Ribbon-Dual Cluster.
- To keep the plaudits going for Corsair, their Officer Commanding "Syntax" is awarded the Diamond Device to his Elite Service Ribbon with Bronze Gilt Border for 100 Top Performances!
- As is the tradition around here, drinks are on the new guy! And his OC (bucket of bolts pulls a paycheck so it can spend some for a change).
7 Oct 2020
- So, my A-Wing cockpit was getting a little festy and Angel said if I didn't take a break she'd ground my ship. Guess there's some maintenance to be done around here...
Twitter widgets added to the Home page and Bridge! Now Twitter and Gremlin can do the work for me, and I can keep flying! (once Angel's A-wing techs have finished detailing my eggshell)
6 Oct 2020
- How Good Is It!!! Yes, we've been ingame, a lot, and the Renegades have been flying their pants off. With Pilots operating on Xbox, PS4 and PC with controllers, joysticks, full HOTAS and VR our people have a great insight into the game and how to be the best you can be. Drop into our Discord and ask questions, or share your own experiences. We're all about helping people.
- As we progress ingame we're also working out the skills and requirements for our Squadron roles; we should have Corsair requirements updated fairly shortly but keep checking back for Buccaneer and Rogue.

- From OC Rogue Squadron LT COL Chris "Jalb_k" Reynolds:
Attention all pilots, support staff and otherwise present civilians! In recognition of recent contributions 1st Leuitenant Nick "Jasted" Finelli is awarded a Squadron Citation. Jasted's work is generally classified (RW "skunkworks') and while sometimes undertaken at the direction of Rogue Lead his proactive approach and the extra duty hours he allocates to these projects is a credit to himself and upholds the finest traditions of Rogue Squadron and Renegade Wing. An UNCLAS example is the recently announced Endor Battle Nova. Jasted helped design, and then created the medal and all the individual ribbons for presentation. Well done Jasted, well deserved and long overdue.
25 Sep 2020

- As a result of the submission of 3 excellent TacOps, Commander Andrew "Dobber" Dobson, Buccaneer XO,is awarded a Squadron Citation per Wing Standing Orders. Also knowing Dobber has only had mission access reinstated in the last 7 days (maintenance issues with his controller ;) makes this an amazing effort. Head to the SSD and buy him a drink!
15 Sep 2020
- The ranks of Buccaneer keep swelling! Renegade Wing welcomes 1st Leuitenant Paul "Rogue" Sweet to the billet of Buccaneer Six. With experience in Red and Blue Squadrons and a long history of... clandestine operations for the darker side of this conflict the knowledge Rogue brings will be of immeasurable help. As always, bar is open and it's on Rogue.
- As our talented Comms Officer has highlighted on our Holonet account, we're just not waiting for Squadrons, we're pretty keen for this too.
14 Sep 2020

06 Sep 2020
- To LT COL Reynolds.
I hope this transmission finds you well. I again want to thank you for overlooking the 1st (and now final) Porg Drop event the Bucc's held last Life Day. I swear on my life, I thought porgs could fly. I'm glad the dents buffed right out off of your astromech and many of us agree he looks better than before.
Anyway, to the point, this is my letter of recommendation for LT Andy "Bulldog" Clark's transfer to Rogue squadron. His skills have grown greatly and his performance at the Battle of Endor shows he is Rogue material. Though we will miss his bombings (in both missions and open mic stand up comic nights in The Lounge) I know it will not take him long to reach his potential as you continue to mentor him to a fine Rogue pilot.
-LT COL Michael "Mighty" Tolle
- And with that glowing recommendation... 1st Lieutenant Andy "Bulldog" Clark, having fullfilled all the requirements for consideration and, having shown in his attitude and conduct, his dedication to Renegade Wing, his Squadron and the Alliance as a whole, is formally appointed to the billet of Rogue 12.

- From CO Renegade Wing, COL Vince 'Stryker' Rambo
9-LOM Syntax, OC Corsair Squadron is awarded a further Device to his Squadron Citation for three Lounge Tales submitted in the lead up to current Operations. This takes Syntax's subsequent awards to 5 and earns him the Gold Star Device for a total of 6 Squadron Citations. In this instance I believe we can buy the bucket a quart of oil.

Attention to Award
Renegade Wing Commander Colonel Vince Rambo has awarded the Order of Merit to Lieutenant Colonel Chris 'Jalb_k' Reynolds for professional achievement in the superior performance of his duties while serving as squadron commander, Rogue Squadron, CRS Vigilant, during the recent revitalization and replenishment exercise. His tireless efforts at bringing the Vigilant Task Force in general and Renegade Wing in particular up to date reflect on the highest traditions of the Rebel Alliance.
- There are multiple reasons for Star Wars: Squadron's cheaper than usual price tag, but the most significant reason is that the game is not trying to be what it's not; SWS is a multiplayer starfighter experience first and foremost. While there is talk about what might come later, SWS's creators are adamant of getting what they're putting out right. Sure, there will be a singleplayer campaign, but ultimately it's about getting in a dogfight and taking on some capital ships. For a more in depth report speaking with SWS's creative director Ian Fraizer,check out this article.

- From OC Buccaneer Squadron Lt Col Michael "Mighty" Tolle:
Attention all pilots, support staff and otherwise present civilians! In recognition of recent contributions and in aiding in the resurgence of the Wing, the command staff is recognizing Andy "Bulldog" Clark with the squadron participation citation. We look forward to your ongoing contributions and more importantly, picking up of bar tabs. And to that point, the next round is on him! Cheers!

- We're all hoping that SWS will be as great or better than the X-Wing series that we all know and love but though it will be releasing on next gen consoles, the game itself won't be adapted and optimized, instead relying on backwards compatibility to function on the PS5 and Xbos Series X. More information in this article.

- With Star Wars Squadrons comes a new class a flyable class, the support class, including the U-Wing and the TIE Reaper. How will these ships fly? What are their utilities and are they actually any good? Reports say that they are a must have for any squadron, and they will play a crucial part in SWS battles. Eckhartsladder goes into depth in this video.
- New unit patch for Corsair Squadron uploaded.
29 Jul 2020
- Ship customization will be an important feature in Star Wars: Squadrons; there will be over sixty options to choose from, allowing pilots to spec their ships into their favored role. Will it be possible to get a Y-Wing to manuever like an A-Wing? Probably not, but it will be fun to play around with the many options. The posibilities are almost limitless. Bombastic goes through each component in this youtube video.
- Renegade Wing welcomes Captain Roy 'Lock' Callahan! Lock has transfered from Red Squadron as Corsair Six and Fleet Liason for the reberthing of the surviving heroes of Red Squadron within the Squadrons of Renegade Wing. Red took the brunt of the Battle of Endor and without the stalwart resolution of their pilots the Alliance would likely be mourning a loss rather than celebrating, what appears to be, the beginning of the end for The Empire.
28 Jul 2020
- Capital ships will be an important part of battles; rather than being static objectives that attack only when provoked, they will press the attack depending on the state of the morale bar. Corvettes will also spawn in to help starfighters, tanking hits from frigates and capital ships as well as providing support against fighters--but be careful, the loss of your corvette can have catastrophic results on the battlefield! Eckhartsladder explains in more detail.
- Updates to Squadron Rosters are ongoing but lower decks are abuzz with scuttlebut from Fleet in regards to pending transfers!

Transfer is to be effected immediately. Corsair CO Reccomendation follows:
Re: Transfer of Andy Clark to Buccaneer Squadron
2nd Lieutenant Andy Clark has demonstrated a strong committment to Renegade Wing ideals as of late, having spearheaded a large-scale Endor POV project as well as engaging in numerous discussions regarding the future of the Wing and its organization, both internally and as part of the larger Alliance as a whole. His dedication to the improvement of the Wing comes in tandem with his dedication to improve himself as a pilot as well. It is with these factors in mind that I can only give my highest recommendation in his transfer to Buccaneer Squadron, effective immediately.
LtCol 9-LOM
- Orders: Fleet Command to Renegade Wing. Per request 336-2-6 COL Reynolds; Approval granted for promotion of Andrew 'Bulldog' Clark to 1st Lieutenant. Promotion effective immediately with all rights and privileges of new rank herewith.

SWG News - Space Expansion - The much-anticipated first add-on
for the
Star Wars
Galaxies series will introduce personal starships and starfighters,
which can be used for interplanetary travel or space combat. The expansion
also promises additional worlds, playable species, non-player characters,
new creatures, and more!
?The staggered release schedule of the space component of the
Star
Wars Galaxies series will benefit players because they will have time
to establish their characters and explore different elements of the core
game before we add the space layer,? says Rich Vogel, director of development
at Sony Online Entertainment?s Austin studio. ?Once the space component
becomes available, players who have been with us since the beginning will
be ready to buy their own starships and launch into this new arena.?

has been forced to make changes within the leadership of Renegade Wing,
in particular the CO positions of Renegade Wing, Rogue & Buccaneer Squadrons
