Raise the Flag 2025

This competition will determine the Flagship of the TIE Corps, the TCCOM’s Escort Squadron, and TCCOM’s Wingman for the next 12 months. Any forms of activity presented by the pilots will grant points to their ships.

The following squadrons are not attached to any of the 3 active Battlegroups:

Avenger Squadron: EHCS without a TC profile
Arbiter Squadron: TCCS
Neither of the above squadrons are eligible for placement.
Spectre Squadron

Point System

Single Player

2 points to each TIE Fighter Single Player mission flown from the TC Battle Center
3 points to each X-Wing vs TIE Fighter Single Player mission flown from the TC Battle Center
3 points to each X-Wing Alliance Single Player mission flown from the TC Battle Center
5 points to each X-Wing Single Player mission flown from the TC Battle Center
5 points to each TFTC Single Player mission flown from the TC Battle Center
10 points for every mission high score
10 points x # of missions in the battle for every battle high score

Bonus Points per Mission:

0-24% of High Score: no bonus
25-49% of High Score: 50% bonus
50-74% of High Score: 100% bonus
75%+ of High Score: 150% bonus

For example:

TIE Fighter mission at 60% of the HS would be worth 2 points plus an additional 2 points = 4 points overall.
TFTC mission at 99% of the HS would be worth 5 points plus an additional 7.5 points = 12.5 points overall.

Notes:

Each battle/free mission in the compendium can be flown only once throughout the month for credit in the competition. Note that battles already flown in previous months of this year are eligible to be re-flown for points in Raise the Flag, however, they will not count towards Ace of the TIE Corps competition awards.
