America Rattled, but Never Swayed

Fellow service members, surely you must be aware by now of the increased pressures the war has placed upon us. Many would say that with the augmented assaults by Phoenix mark a time of potential instability and weariness. We should dare to think differently.

The United States of America you know now is the product of constant change, fluidity which is in essence adaptability. America is more than the sum of a few people, it is an entity comprised of our collective will to succeed and to rule supreme. We were raised with the mindset to be the leaders of our destinies, and so we should continue to evolve with the times. Stand tall and together sisters and brothers. We will emerge from the flames ever stronger.





Generals Relin & Abayarde Step Down

The TC front is no less tumultuous, but our turmoil is a tad more intimate. Our dear Generals Relin and Abayarde have said their goodbyes after glorious tenures as the USTC's Commanding and Executive Officers. Many will remember their wisdom, humor, clarity of judgment and the warmth they exuded as fellow human beings. These great men helped shape the leaders of today, those who will watch over and guide us with that same spirit. They are by no means leaving us, so much as passing on the torch to those they know will properly succeed them. We Salute you Sirs!


Rising Stars: USTC's New Command Roster

General Bia Pandora and Lieutenant General Nuriessa comprise our new, reformed leadership. With these dedicated, mindful people at the helm; the USTC stands ready to fulfill and surpass it's mandate.
