Hello Crewman,

My name is Stormz, and I am the Naval Training Officer of the Vast Empire Naval Academy. I,will guide you through your trainining period. If you have any questions at all, simply leave your them here.

To get you started, I'm going to direct you to the flight school page where most of the training materials are kept.

This can be found here.

To begin your training, you must create a character in which you will use in the VE. Clicking on the link above directs you to flights school. once there, click on Chapter 1 entitled Character Development.

Before going to Flight School, you may want to give Imperial Initiation (II) a quick read - it gives a short, simple, and to the point introduction to life as a pilot in the Star Wars universe.

Once you have followed the instructions set out in Chapter 1, please post it here for marking, and we can advance you along to the next stage.

During your training, I also recommend you get onto IRC (Or Internet Relay Chat). Most of the Vast Empire's active members frequent the IRC channels, so you will be able to find many friends and possibly a mentor in this place. To get onto IRC, either follow the "JavaChat" link from the main page (It's in the left hand column) or download an IRC client (e.g. mIRC) and follow the instructions in the Main Comnet forum.

Once again, on behalf of the VENA, welcome the Navy, we hope you enjoy your stay.

NTO Stormz
