Welcome to the Imperial Naval Academy, Sentinel.  I am the Officer of Training (TO) and I, along with Training Executive Officer (TX), Tomas, and our final Trainer, C-3PX2, will be taking you through our training system, known as Basic Training (BT).  The three of us staff members make up what is known as the academy staff (VENA-S).  We like our abbreviations, huh?  Don't give up yet!  The good part's just ahead!

In fact, you've actually already finished the first portion, known as Imperial Initiation (II)- you really just had to find your way here and make a thread to do that, though.  The second half is a bit more challenging and is known as Flight School (FS)- here you'll learn about the basics of flight, your equipment and what it takes to be an active member of one of our fighter groups.  If you'll visit Flight School and take a look at Chapter 1 entitled "Character Creation," you'll be well on your way to completing the first portion of FS.  Once you've got a bio written up, simply post it here and one of our trainers will be along to post their comments and further instructions. 

In the meantime, if you're looking to get a more accurate idea of our club and its members, I highly encourage you to explore the rest of the ComNet and jump onto our IRC server, via either our free chat applet (jIRC) or the downloadable version known as mIRC.  I'll be around to continue updating you with information and interesting opportunities here in the VEN; I hope the best to ya in the future here, Sentinel.  Welcome to the Imperial Naval Academy.
