PRAETORIAN - Quo Fas Et Gloria Ducunt

"Can you step up to the challenge?"

Do you think you have what it takes to be a Praetorian? Praetorian is one of four elite-designated squadrons in the Emperor's Hammer, and as such is open by invitation only. However, we are always looking for the best, most motivated members of the TIE Corps to join our ranks.

The following are the established minimum criteria for membership in Praetorian:

High level of activity in current assignment
Rank of Commander or above
Ranked as Legionaire or higher in the Fleet Commander's Honor Guard (FCHG)
No major HCI convictions

If you feel that you may require a waiver for one of these conditions, please contact the Squadron Commander.

Praetorian Trials

If deemed worthy by the Squadron Commander, a pilot may be accepted as a Praetorian candidate and enter the Praetorian Trials. The Praetorian Trials consist of four phases. Once a candidate passes one he automatically advances to the next. Should he fail in any of them the trial is over at once.

Phase I: Tribunal Praetorianum
The candidate is presented to the squad and all pilots are allowed to have their say about him or her. Since Praetorian is a brotherhood in arms it is critical that all members have their chance to voice their opinion about a candidate.

Phase II: Magister Artium
The candidate must take the Praetorian Course in the Academy of Tactics and pass it with at least the level of Destinction.

Phase III: Aquilae Victoriae
The candidate has to fly at least 2 out of three presented missions, one of each platform. The candidate will be judged using a basline score established by current Praetorians.

Phase IV: Mandatus Obscurus
A special secret task will be given to the candidate, tailored and personalized towards his special abilities. This can include fiction, GFX, mission creation or what ever else is deemed fitting for the candidate.

Candidates that successfully pass all four phases will be inducted into the ranks of the Praetorian Brotherhood. Their status will remain probationary for three months at which time they will face review by the Praetorian Tribunal. At this point, they may be accepted into the Brotherhood as Paratus (an established member), or asked to leave if they have failed to uphold the standards of Praetorian Squadron.
