(We'll hope the name doesn't imply too much, lol.)
Welcome to the Imperial Naval Academy (VENA), Lousy. I am the Officer of Training (TO) and I, along with Training Executive Officer (TX), Tomas, our final Trainer, C-3PX2, and our only operator, Ibram Tyrol, will be taking you through our training system, known as Basic Training (BT). The four 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!
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 basic 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 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. Either way, I hope the best to ya in the future here, Lousy; welcome to the Imperial Naval Academy.

Physical Description: Being the young man he is, his height is rather normal. At an age of 19 he is just under a meter 90 tall, but the size of his chest is out of proportion compared to his height. The uniform for his height is too wide and leaves too much space in the area around his chest. Although his chest is slightly smaller than regular men of his age, the muscles in his arms compensate the difference. As an adolescent he experimented with weight training due to a small case of positive peer pressure. Unlike lots of people, he doesn't mind it when his bright blond hair covers his eyes and since that it looks kind of good on him he has always let his hair grow. His hair reaches his belly button but he ties the hair behind his back together with a piece of orange ribbon-like rope. While his hair would normally cover the small spikes on his head they stick out by just half of an inch above the bright blond hair. A tattoo of a large green fire breathing dragon sitting upon a large pile of gold, jewelry and treasure covers his entire back. He has very little scars, and the ones he does have are barely noticeable although there is one right above his right eyebrow, gotten from a head butt given to him by another Zabrakian.
Emotional Description: Some people would describe young Girias as an explosive with a very long fuse, but when it finally reaches the explosive you get a very big and loud explosion. While the young Zabrakian can take plenty of annoyances and insults when he finally snaps all hell breaks loose and it'll be very hard to get him to stop. But the anger aside he is a very gentle, caring and polite person who would go to the ends of the galaxy for his friends. He knows and respects authority and has no problem following orders given to him from a superior ...
History: He grew up on a planet far away from his homeplanet because his father had gotten a very good offer as a hired gun. The offer consisted of alot of money and a place to stay in the Merc HQ. The small family moved there when Girias was but an enfant. Growing up around mercenaries was a different way of growing up but every single one of them treated Girias as their own child. Growing up he had always been a bit of the odd person. He would be the very last person to start or join a fight, but the first to end it. Due to his appearance people have always feared him, especially when they saw the spikes on his head. Being associated with the Mercenaries made it very hard for people to see his true nature as a very kind person. Yet, when the boy reached the age of 16, he had rescued a boy and a girl from a gang of violent punks. At first the two were afraid of the Zabrakian but his smile told them both everything that needed to be said, without spilling a single letter. The three hung out with each other, enjoyed each other company, got in and out of lots of trouble until the day he had reached the age of 19 and his mother and some of the Mercs that he should join the Imperial Army. The decision of joining either The Stormtroopers Corp or The Imperial Navy was decided by a coin flip. And so the young man became a soldier ...

Nice job on the bio, Lousy. The one thing I suggest is to include a brief of some of the details as it makes it easier for squadronmates to find things such as age, etc rather than reading through the rest of the bio. In particular:
Name:
Race:
Homeworld:
Hair colour:
Eye Colour:
Skin Colour:
Age:
Height:
Weight:
No need to really do it here, as you will be making a Wiki for your character down the road.
For the second step, take a look at Chapter 2 at the Flight School link Shazam posted above. In short, your assignment is to describe two of the flight maneuvers in your own words. If you have one (or even two) that aren't listed there we by all means we encourage you to use them and they will be posted alongside the rest of them.
Keep up the good work.

The Sandwich, should only be performed if your wingman is close. Attack the enemy and then break off from the fight, and if you're being followed your wingman shoots him in the rear. But the wingman should never fire any heat based rockets until the pilot being followed gets safely out of the way.
The Break Turn : When used to attack, you can take a sharper turn to quickly start shooting at a new enemy.
When used to defend, you can use it to make it harder for the enemy to shoot you and it can also be used to even lose an enemy.
You break turn by flying sideways and basically pulling your ship into a sharper turn.

That'll do for stage 2 of Flight School, congratulations. For the final step, please consult Chapter 3 of the Flight School link. Once completed, you will be placed in a squadron.
Now I thought I'd share a little information on your current position, and rank in the Vast Empire (though they will change on completion of Chapter 3), as well as some of the other things the Vast Empire has to offer.
Just as every member does, you will begin your naval career at the bottom- Crewman (CRW), and the position known as Trainee. However, upon completing BT, it's very likely you'll be promoted provided you put in the proper time and energy; people count on our leaders so we like to make sure people are promoted for the right reasons. Note, however, that you're not perfectly poor- we've given you a starting balance of 1,000 ICs (Imperial Credits), an Imperial Pilot Flight Suit (combat uniform), DL-44 Blaster Pistol, 3 Ration packs, a 3-Mal Personal Comlink, 2 bottles of Mertine I anti-radiation treatment, and a pair of Imperial Boxer Shorts. These items are to be used in the stories you'll be writing, so the more items you have, the more developed your stories become: use them wisely.
You might be wondering where you see and buy all of these items? If you look down the left hand side of the main page in the navigation, you'll see that you have a First Galactic Bank account- that's where these items are stored. The Imperial Center Store is the primary mode of purchasing for members in the VE- perhaps you'd like to shop around yourself? Note that if you're short on cash, the Pay Per Click link, also in the navigation, allows you to earn easy ICs and help the VE community at the same time

Hrmm, no. Chapter 3 which involves a mock report must be done before Lousy is assigned to a squadron.

"Very wel sir, it would appear I need to report on my actions of the past few days."
I've started my training, introducing myself. I then read about what parts there are in a Tie Fighter and waited for the next part of my training. I participated in the click for money events and earned some money. Then reading about read, understood and talked about some tactics you may use in space battle. I finished and then awaited for more information about finishing my training.

Not exactly Lousy.
There is a format for reporting. Makes things easier.
On the Wiki, if you go to "Useful Materials" in the Navy Main section, and then click on "Reports", it will show you how you are supposed to them.
Also, take a look at "Naval ID Lines" to see how you construct your ID line.
For reference, your rank is Crewman at the moment, and you are a Trainee.

Very good. Sorry to make you go back on yourself, but little things like this are important so that High Command know what you've been doing.
If you haven't done so already, you may now take the Aviator's Exam, found at the bottom of the Flight School page.
Simply copy/paste the entire text into a word document, and fill it out. Then PM everything as it is, via the message centre, to either Tomas or Shazam.
I'd recommend Tomas, since he's less busy atm.
Congratulations on pass flight school, and good luck.

Lol- I could say something using your name, but it just wouldn't be appropriate beings I'm your superior officer and I'm trying to keep you interested, lol. Here's what I'll do though- since you passed the exam, though it wasn't distinction, we're going to promote you to the rank of Leading Crewman (LCRW) and place you in Flight 2 of Viper Squadron. You're now Viper Seven: C-3PX2 is your Flight Leader and Commander Tomas will be the master and chief over there- that's right, he's not only TX of the Academy by a squadron commander as well: big job, eh?
Anywho- That flight has really been lookin for new folks, it would seem, and I really hope you can be one of the folks with enough guts to really bring up the overall level of activity so that it can be comparable to the other flights. C-3 is a great leader and I really encourage you to meet anyone else in the flight and go out of your way to help out. You'll want to head over to their thread on the Navy Main and ask for instructions by messaging your FL and SC- they'll get back to ya a bit quicker that way. Another good idea would be to jump on IRC and meet them yourself if you haven't already.
Either way, Viper is coming to the close of a story, so they may ask you to jump in or keep out depending on the accessibility of the story; for just a little bit, though. Either way, I'm sure they'll be able to keep you busy (if you haven't already, getting started on your Wiki Personal Profile might be a good place to begin). Seeings how you've done so well here, I get the idea you'll do well in Viper, Lousy- the name wasn't so accurate after all  Welcome to the Imperial Navy.

Euhm, I'm kind of confused for a second.
According to Shazam I'm Viper Seven in Flight 2, yet I've also received a message from Tomas naming me as Nazgul 12.
Which one is it, or shall I act as both functions ? (might be a bit tiring though)

if you go back to your flight school link, there should be a path to wiki. Also, there should be templates there to help you set up your wiki page.
