Welcome to the VEN, Solstice! I'm Trevor Evenson, that Nazgul Squadron Commander. Although I don't exactly know what to tell you to begin your training, I'll let Tomas know about your post (if he or C3 doesn't beat me to this) and at the same time I encourage you to come on IRC either by a client like mIRC or using the java chat found on the main Vast Empire page.

Once again, greetings and pleased to have you!

Greetings Crewman Solstice, welcome to the Vast Empire.

My name is Ibram Tyrol, and i will be you're training operator whilst you train here at the Acadamy. If you have any questions at all, simply go to the message centre, and type in my full name into the recipient's box.

To get you started, I'm now going to direct you to our wiki page, Where most of the training materials are kept.

This can be found here.

To begin your training, you must first create your character. Having clicked on the link above, you can navigate to the page by clicking on Basic Training, Flight School, and then Chapter 1
(quick link:here)

Before going to Flight School, you may want to give Imperial Initiation (II) a quick read.

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.

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

Operator Tyrol
