My name is Jegora Fal. I'm the Naval Training Officer. I'll be around to assist you in your training, although you'll probably become more familiar with Shazam, our Training Executive Officer, Tomas and C-3PX2, our current Trainers, and Ibram Tyrol, our only Operator. Any and all of these gentlemen will be more than willing to help you out.

Now, you've already done the first phase of your training; that is, you found your way here. Well done. Now it's time to move on to the next phase of basic training, Flight School.

Flight School can be found at: http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flight_School_%28FS%29

Flight School is broken down into several steps called chapters. After you complete Flight School, you will take the Aviator's Exam and join a squadron. Along the way you'll create a Wiki page, an Identification Line, file a Report, study tactical maneuvers, and most importantly you will define who your character is.

Now, the first step is Chapter One. This is where you will create your character. A guide to character creation can be found here. This guide will give you all the information you need to get started. When you complete your assignment (creating a character biography), post it up here and one of the staff members will critique it to check for accuracy and flow.

Of course, you may have questions that the Wiki can't answer. Thats why the VENA Staff is here. Simply post your questions on this thread, private message (PM) us over the ComNet, email us, or find us on our IRC server (irc.imperialnetwork.com). To access IRC you can use our free chat applet (jIRC) or you can download a client (mIRC). The #VENA channel is always open, and our main channel, #Vast_Empire, is always full of experienced members.

I realize this is a lot of information to process. If you feel overwhelmed, the Staff is always here to help. Just let us know if you have any questions, and we will do our best to answer them.

Until laters,

Jeg
Jegora "Leftenant" Fal
Second Lieutenant, Vast Empire Navy
Naval Training Officer, Vast Empire Naval Academy

Chapter I

Name: Paradox
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Home planet: Onderon
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 145 lbs
Physical build: Well built and muscular
Eye color: Orange
Hair color: Black

Defining features: Paradox's main defining feature is his eyes, which are a deep orange, the color of a dying sun. The orange eyes are a trademark of his family. On his right shoulder blade he has a tattoo scar combination. The scar is a jagged slash that streaks from his shoulder towards the middle of his back. The tattoo is that of a dragon claw. The claw has three toes and is a variety of black, red and orange.

Personality: Paradox has a ton of energy and loves anything and everything that has to do with space and space craft. He is quite easy to get along with and is very comfortable around others. He has no problems with taking orders, and can work under pressure. Hes not easily tricked, or at least not anymore. Para has a great sense of humor and can be relied on to the death.

Physical appreance: Paradox is a strong and muscular male. From all the work he did with his father on the naval base, he was able to keep himself quite fit. Para never really does anything with his black hair. He usually just leaves it alone. His eyes are a deep orange and burn with fire fueled by adventure and a yearning for the skies. He usually wears a pair of fingerless gloves, loose pants, work boots and a grease covered tee shirt.

Paradox grew up on Onderon. As a boy he was always running around and getting himself into trouble by not being where he was supposed to. His mother stayed at home and saw him off to school everyday. His father worked as a mechanic for the nearby Imperial Naval base.

Paradox would always accompany his father to the base whenever he could and help out as best he was able. Paradox loved the ships. The sounds the sights, and was amazed everytime a flight would take off for their morning drills or a mission.

As the years past and Paradox spent more time with his father then on his school work, his parents decided to take him out of school altogether, and get him a job on the base. It was the happiest moment in his life. Paradox went with his father everyday, and he was taught everything he needed to know about how to repair any problem associated with most of the ships on the base.

When Para turned 23 he decided it was time to leave his home on Onderon and head to the nearest Naval recruiting office and sign up for the Vast Empire Navy. Once signed up, he packed up and was shipped off to basic.

Chapter II

The Split - S

This maneuver is performed by inverting the craft while in a turn, by rolling, then pulling back on the stick, and going into a dive. Pull back on the stick until the craft levels out, and ease into level flight.

The Split-S is used to increase airspeed and decrease altitude at the same time. This maneuver can also be used to disengage from a threat. It is useful in guns only environments as the craft will no longer be in gun range, but is discouraged against missiles, as they have longer ranges.

The Split-S should only be used in high altitude areas where there is plenty of vertical airspace. This maneuver should not be done in low altitudes as it is possible for the craft to become stuck in the dive and be unable to re-achieve level flight.



The High Speed Yo-Yo

The High Speed Yo-Yo begins when engaged in a turning fight, and you are stuck in lag pursuit. When your enemy initiates a break turn, roll out slightly and pull up. At the apex of the climb, invert and roll back to come up behind your enemy, farther away, but at a better firing position.

The High Speed Yo-Yo can be used to reduce AoT (Area Off of Tail) or the distance from the back end of another fighter. At the cost of reducing AoT and increasing the distance between you and your target, you can better get you target into your firing cone.

Well done Paradox.

A note for the record: Jeg has allowed Paradox to do all 3 chapters without waiting for approval.

He's no going to do his Aviators exam and send it to me for marking.
