Greetings, fellow Imperials! This is our second Treatise Imperialis of the fourth year in Imperial Order history. Fleet Command gives special thanks to Grand Admiral Wulfman for his great effort in bring to us the Treatise Imperialis. Without his great effort we would not have this monthly synopsis of the Imperial Order's activity.

The Imperial Order has come a long way from its beginnings in the Outer Rim. The Empire now holds Coruscant, the Imperial Order Fleets are continually growing larger, and the Empire's presence in the Galaxy is expanding once again. And now, more than ever, the Imperial Order needs its members to help bring the past and upcoming victories of the Imperial Order to life.

The Imperial Order was founded on game editing, specifically mission and battle building for TIE Fighter. We currently have a large collection of TIE Fighter missions and battles built by and for Imperial Order members. However, we are short on missions for X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance, and Jedi Knight, and we need to increase mission production for these platforms. Fleet Command requests that all able-bodied men and women learn and exercise the skills involved in game editing. Be it sound design, imaging, storyboarding, animation, or level editing, anything that helps bring the adventures of the Imperial Order into our games will be greatly appreciated and highly rewarded.

We have had a long-standing effort to convert our TIE Fighter battles to XvT format, however, the task is far from complete. Fleet Command would like to revive and refocus that effort into the creation of a complete modification of XvT specifically for the Imperial Order. The project will involve the conversion of all existing Imperial Order TIE Fighter battles to Balance of Power format and optimizing each mission to take advantage of the features of BoP and the Draconious Ship Patch. Also to be included are custom cutscenes, interface artwork, and voice-overs created entirely by the members of the Imperial Order.

Also on the slate for future projects is the Imperial Order Jedi Knight mod project. Like the TF to BoP project, this project will include custom cutscenes, interface artwork, voice-overs, and of course, new skins. However, this project will require the construction of 10 to 20 single player levels and 5 to 10 multiplayer levels, a task that will take all the manpower the Imperial Order can muster. Many volunteers will be needed to bring this project to fruition, and Fleet Command calls on all platoons to learn the art of level building and help the Imperial Order in this mammoth effort.

Be sure your name is on the list of credits when these two projects are brought to completion. Every single member of the Imperial Order can take part in this in some way or another. Give the Imperial Order something more that other Star Wars groups will envy. Sign up to help at the Production Office today!
