As my Executive Officer page, I wish to pay tribute to many members of Phoenix, who have lent a little bit of themselves to making "Raider".

Original officers

Viking - The greatest Assault Gunboat pilot ever. Viking taught me a lot about flying, and "discovered" Raider, recruiting him for Tie Fighter Alliance.

Desmo - the first officer I knew properly. Always fair, and always patient, he taught Raider how having fun was more important than anything else.

Original flight group (FG2 of Phoenix Squadron)

Fjap - the "pigeon man" has always made Raider laugh. Often the reason for feathers being left around the frigate, Fjap always has an answer, and a question. Always helped out with story telling with MeisterP.

MeisterP - the Jedi taught Raider about patience, and the force. Meister has an uncanny ability of reading Raiders mind. But then he seems to do that to most people. Also the story teller (except the stories seem to come true ..) of Phoenix.

Zekk - if there was some bad luck going around - Zekk got it. Broken flight sticks, faulty engines, and much more! If an asteroid was to come out of hyperspace - it would come out infront of Zekk's Tie.

Further Officers

Steeler - Raider and Steeler joined Phoenix at the same time. Steeler went on to be one of the greatest all round pilots ever, flying in over 1400 sorties. Raider learnt more than can be written, about honour, courage and gamesmanship.

Rookie - Raider has learnt many of his officer skills from an exceptional officer that has risen to the highest peaks of DJO. The original brewer of "Duvel" on the El Pollo Diablo, Rookie engineered a "golden age" for the frigate.

Jodokast - Raider always seems to get on the wrong side of Jodo. Be it in a gunboat, meaning he finds himself ejecting, or running around in Royal Guard Boxer shorts, meaning demotion. However this is nothing that a crate of duvel cant fix …

Katarn, Akkon and Apocalypse - The three Flight leaders in Phoenix are a credit to their Flights. Whenever Raider wonders why he is XO - he looks at his FL's and immediately draws inspiration.

Amber - Chief morale officer, she always had a smile and a joke. You could not mope around the Frigate if she was on watch. Able to have the most fun possible without being thrown in the brig. Just ask her the name of the seven dwarfs, that keeps her happy.

Trainer

GPZ1 - The ultimate TI pilot - GPZ painstakingly trained Raider in this fast craft. Unfortunately this is one instance of the Padwana not out shinning his Mentor. However, if there is any skill left in Raider, it must surely be attributed to GPZ1!

I have not written all the officers and pilots I have encountered, but this is a synopsis. My apologies to those who feel they have been left out, it is not intentional.
