[K20 - Terminus - AE] TF-01-5 diary log "TIE Dominus"

Hello again, I just finished reading up on the data log for the new starfighter and I figured I'd make an entry here.

The Ashlon Empire can't afford to fail; now that we don't have galactic domination nor the wealth that comes with the taxation of innumerable star systems. Ashlon has to be sure of his decisions and his ability to defend what we do have. This starfighter was supposedly directly commissioned and designed in cooperation with ex Incom and Sienar fleet system designers, merging the best aspects of the successful TIE fighter line with the unmatched quality of Incom starfighters. Complete with hyperdrive, ion weapons, and cannons that could challenge a Y-wing, the TIE "Dominus" as the Grand Admiral calls it, is truly a lord of the stars. 

The Ashlon Empire may not have the wealth of the old Empire but it does have the connections, allowing us to get our hands on top of the line components for the new starfighter; and it sure shows, this thing has full deflector shield arrays, sensor scrambling tech, even an astromech socket and rear turret! I have yet to fly the real thing but the simulator sure beats the poodoo out of flying interceptors like I did back in the day. I'm glad to see the fleet moving away from those flying coffins we used to pilot, having shields and full life support will be nice, even if it is more expensive. I have a few rotations before the fleet gets back, and during that time I have a test flight directly overseen by the Emperor and Grand Admiral themselves, it's such an honor to be serving again like I did during the height of the Empire.

Not much else has happened recently; two rotations ago a new pilot spilled his blue milk in the caf and one of the senior officers slipped on it; a couple of us chuckled but stopped when the officer looked in our direction. I'm also pretty sure that one of the hangar technicians is flirting with me, who else would keep leaving nysillin petals on my cockpit control panels? I really don't have time for that so maybe I'll request she be transferred; lots of paperwork though.
