The Emperor’s Hammer (EH) grows for the only reason of recruiting and publicity. Wherever you are in the Emperor’s Hammer, whether it be the Main Fleet (The TIE Corps) or any of its subgroups; the section you are in will benefit greatly from being larger. Let’s look at a squad in the TIE Corps. It has a capacity of 12 pilots, consisting of a Squadron Commander (CMDR), 2 Flight Leaders (FL), and 9 Flight Members (FM). Say this squadron is currently at 5 members. A CMDR, a FL, and 3 FMs. Activity in the squadron isn’t all that great, and the squadron is a little bored of the fact that there are only a few people to interact with. The CMDR constantly badgers the Flight Office (responsible for assigning pilots) to bring in more pilots to the squadron so there can be a more productive and social atmosphere to make things fun. This squadron eventually gets 12 pilots all together, and everyone is quite content with the fact they can compete with each other, socialize, and start projects for the squadron’s publicity. With more members, activities are much more efficient and everyone has much more fun.

This squadron atmosphere can be compared to most any other group in the Emperor’s Hammer. Whether it be a house or clan in the Dark Brotherhood, a wing in The Guild, a corporation in the Corporate Division, a barrack in he Hammer’s Fist, a strike team in the Intelligence Division, a planet in the EH Directorate, or a group of players in The Fringe.

The more members in any of these groups will lead a more active and fun environment around you along with a productive outcome.
