Team BattlehawkCommander: Templarivs Lieutenant Commander: Azula Invidia
Origins Due to Anaconda's success in roaming operations and the rapidly increasing Fortress roster, the need for a second combat team was quickly becoming essential. In November 2005, LiquidBob was discovered to be the chosen one, the one that would create the second squad of The Fortress. Realizing his duty, he named 'team B' Battlehawk. But it wasn't until the Summer of 2006 that the Battleponies were summoned and the the whole of Malton learned to fear their thundering hooves... The Beginning When LiquidBob departed the Hawks after just a couple of weeks, it was left to the newly discovered Head of The Fortress, Jensonson, to pick up Battlehawk and lead his first command. Although Battlehawk was successful, it was not until the controversial appointment of Commander Swinky that the team's identity started to form. Jensonson had been hesitant to pick the popular Battlehawk as the next leader. Swinky wasn't the standard, by-the-book commander that The Fortress had come to expect. However the decision to appoint her was one of the best things to happen for The Fortress in its history. Swinky painted the Battlehawk's pink, coined them the 'Battleponies' and spurred them through original and quirky, comical operations that had never before been seen by Fortress eyes. Spawned by Swinky's enthusiasm came Legend after Legend; Shrimper, Jack Patient, Stark Senap - and they all continued the trend of good humoured, comical operations that now define this legendary battle team. Battlehawk was without doubt the greatest Fortress combat team for a breath-taking 18 months. The BattleHawk LifestyleHawks believe there is much more to Urban Dead than strict AP utilization and reporting. A member of Battlehawk injects fun and humour into daily business, often along with casual in-game roleplay, whilst simultaneously taking the task of protecting Malton very seriously. They love going on important missions and making them fun and giving it a light-hearted attitude, roleplaying in game and chatting through various methods. This combination of fun and work is what has kept Battlehawk so successful for so long.
Great Moments in HistoryApr 2006 - Swinky selected as Commander - An immediate change to Battlehawk. Pink is the colour. Ponies are the theme. Operations become fun. Chatting becomes fashionable. The Golden Age of Battlehawk begins. Jun 2007 - The Battlehawk 07 Chain Kill - The greatest chain kill of all time was an exhausting but exhilirating slaughter by just seven Legends. Jan 2008 -The Battle of Giddings Mall - The Hawks do their part to hold the mall against "The Second Big Bash" for a full month. 2008 Operations[IMG]http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/924/summer3ld5.png[/IMG] [color=green] Jul 08[/color] - [color=green]Operation:[/color][URL=http://z15.invisionfree.com/Fortress/index.php?showtopic=5768][color=#FF0099] Summer Lovin[/color][/URL] -Recover Hildebrand Mall - [color=green]CO:[/color] Brigadier Tommy Crowbar [align=right][SIZE=1][i]http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/924/summer3ld5.png[/i] [color=gold][i]Graphic Design by Templarivs[/i][/SIZE][/color][/align] [IMG]http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/1183/marvenrz3.png[/IMG] [color=green] Jul 08[/color] - [color=green]Operation:[/color][URL=http://z15.invisionfree.com/Fortress/index.php?showtopic=5670][color=#FF0099] Starvin' Marven[/color][/URL] -Joint Op with Anaconda to defend Marven Mall against the MoB - [color=green]CO:[/color] Miss Elainious & Tommy Crowbar [align=right][SIZE=1][i]http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/1183/marvenrz3.png[/i] [color=gold][i]Graphic Design by Templarivs[/i][/SIZE][/color][/align] July 08 - Operation: Picnic Basket – “Anaconda and Battlehawk brought a basket of goodies to the NW and rescued Caiger."

June 08 - Operation: All Your Base
Unfortunately, despite her best efforts at organization and management of spare time, JavaElemental just could not devote the time and attention to the Hawks that this excellent team so richly deserves, and so she stepped down when this Op was over.

Commander Templarivs: 04 Sept 2008-
Founder of the Battle Hawks. Even though only commander for a short time, he opened the door to changes that helped formed the team's identity.
His first time commanding, he was a by-the-books leader that brought the 'Hawks success.
First Fortress Journeyman and long-time Commander of Team Battlehawk. Ex-Shadow Tracker, forum administrator and council member. Was honorably discharged after being diagnosed with dementia.
Formed the identity of Battlehawk as Commander and changed the way Fortress operations were run forever.
Opinionated, intelligent and hysterical. Not many members can be defined in that way, but Shrimper is unique. Superb Elite member of Battlehawk before excelling as Commander of his team. Popular Councillor, Commander and friend.
Highly intelligent and respected Veteran, Elite and Commander of Team Battlehawk. Sets the target for forum reporting and becoming more influential to the group by the day. Essential Council Member and reporter for the Hawks. In February 2008, sensationally became the second Fortress Four Commander
Was a Veteran Assault Officer and master reporter, who rose up the ranks to become Commander of the Hawks. Was MIA then miraculously reappeared in April 08.
Stark Senap worked hard and rose rapidly through the ranks, becoming Lieutenant, Acting Commander and finally full CO of his beloved Team Battlehawk in summer 07. An engaging, fun-loving and whimsical character, he easily won Ocean's 99 and 100, and is still the highest ranking Head Hunter to this day. Already a Moderator, he was voted into the Fortress Council in October 2007, and was eventually elevated to Administrator status by the Head himself. After cracking the Pitman Enigma, and having helped to lead Team Battlehawk to its second straight "Best Combat Team" award at FP07
Joined as an excellent soldier with great tactical knowledge, and rose to serve as Commander of Team Battlehawk. Along the way her reports enriched our lives with witty, engaging RP, and elevated this simple browser based game to a level of (slightly crass) sophistication capable of rejuvenating the most weary and jaded players. Designed the Fortress T-Shirts! Awarded Fortress Finest at FP7. Fortress Councilor from October 2007 till her retirement. Hates: "Zombie attacks first thing in the morning."
He had a stricter set of expectations than many previous Hawk Commanders but continued the trend of making operations fun and organised. An ambitious and active leader with strong plans and ambitions to improve the team, his leadership brought a bit more seriousness to the squad. |
