SovMan competition report by our loved and respected COL Calzeo Inkwolf. What's that? Up in the sky? Faster than a speeding T/B! Stronger than the odor of Crusher the Hutt! Able to leap tall Jawas in a single bound! It's a mynock! It's a Star Destroyer! No...it's SOVMAN!!!! To protect his secret identity, SovMan lives as a mild-mannered TIE pilot. But when danger or disrespect threaten the SSSD Sovereign or the EH, he rushes to a convenient docking bay and transforms himself into SOVMAN, PROTECTOR OF JUSTICE, DEFENDER OF HONOR, UPHOLDER OF ORDER AND POLISHER OF THE AXIAL SUPERLASER!!! Gentlemen, I would like to invite you to take part in a competition to design a costume for SovMan, the Sov's local superhero! Note that this is NOT a graphics comp: the prettiest picture might win, but a scanned-in crayon scribbling might win, too. What we are looking for is the coolest superhero costume you can develop for SovMan! Costume should look good in color or B&W. All officers serving on the SSSD Sovereign are invited to submit their designs in any form they prefer. Make an original graphic! Build a clay model and sent the photo! Edit the attached preliminary sketch! Sew a costume, dress up as SovMan, and send us the picture! Paint a RPG miniature! If you have no scanner, let me know and I'll send you a mailing address for art or photos (but you'll have to mail it early to make the deadline!) Flag officers, please pass this on to your units. Entries should me e-mailed to me, COL Inkwolf at inkwolf@earthlink.net. Judging will be carried out by COM/FA Kramer, myself, and LT Ryan Tribal of Hey Squadron, originator of the SovMan concept. Medals have been preapproved by the TO, but given the reaction of the Ops office to some comps, no definite promises will be made ahead of time. :) SovMan can't fight our enemies in the nude (well he could but it'd be against some regulation I'm sure) so please get those uniform designs in by June 15th!
