Imperial Navy Main Concourse

Many officers, upon receiving their commissions, no doubt ask "What do I do now?"...

Below is a partial listing of some of the most highly recommended Imperial Navy activities, and it has been compiled to help address this question. Suggestions for additional content may be directed to The Commander of the Navy.

Contact your commanding officer and keep in regular contact with them!
Visit the Empire Reborn domain regularly; keep abreast with GE news & developments through the GE Main Page, and its linked news sources.
Aside from knowing your own commanding officers, familiarise yourself with the GE High Command and Navy Command members... Each one performs specific duties for the entirety of the Imperial Navy, or Galactic Empire itself. You will need to get in touch with command officers at least periodically during your career.
Finish reading the GE Imperial Officer's Manual (ZIP Download) and GE Official Guide to Medals & Awards... These detail the workings of the Galactic Empire & Imperial Navy, as well as the various honours available to you as an Imperial officer.
Become combat-certified for all Navy-supported game platforms owned and complete all non-combat certifications.
Obtain your Imperial Navy Officer's Certification... This is optional for all officers, but required in order to gain promotions to Sub-Lieutenant and above!
Participate in any running competitions for an excellent way to gain recognition... Medals are often awarded to the overall winners!
Get in better contact with your fellow officers by visiting (and posting on) the GE HoloNet Message Boards and ImperialSquadrons.net Message Boards regularly.
