As I look around, I see before me many of the best officers I have ever known.

On my right, I see Grand Admiral Wulfman, without whom my life as Fleet Commander would be much more difficult.

Fleet Admiral Moskito, one of my most trusted officers, ever fervent in his service to the Empire.

Admiral Porteous, there are none more loyal in the Imperial Order than he.

Major General Curgenven, few have risen through the ranks as quickly as he.

Lieutenant General Maugrim, one of the Imperial Order's most creative minds.

As always, I am proud of the Imperial Order. I truly enjoy looking over our organization and seeing what we have accomplished.

The hard work and dedication each of us gives to this organization each week is continually impressive.

However, it must be duly noted that this has not been our best year. Our Empire is imperfect. Rebels abound. Much lies ahead for us to focus our efforts on.
Even as our shipyards have been bolstering our war machine, our patrols have detected increasing levels of Rebel and smuggling activity in several of our outlying sectors, and especially in sectors that are not fully under our control.

Much improvement can be made in the core functions that make the Imperial Order what it is. The continuity of our storyline, our websites, our game design, and our recruitment all have room to be improved.

One question I hear often is "What do I do in the Imperial Order?"

It's very simple. You play the role of a Imperial officer, a cog in the Imperial War Machine. You have a character that can and should be as well developed as any RPG character.
And how do you develop your character? You write stories about him or her, draw images and create graphics of him, create missions and levels involving your character. And you create websites that display every detail of your character that you can imagine. A multitude of possibilities exists.

The structure of the Imperial Order is a great outline, but it is we that fill in the spaces with our own perspectives and unique qualities. So in a very real sense, each officer makes the Imperial Order what it is.

Shall it be a simple chat group where the most exciting thing that happens is a late-night war of words? Or shall it be as it was originally intended - an organization for people who truly love Star Wars and want to actively preserve its essence and excitement via their own creativity and hard work.

My friends, the choice is yours.
