dak
Co-founder and member of the Tantive IV Leadership Council
42.86% career no-OP attacker
91.38% career No-OP defender: #1 all-time
Dak was one of the most skilled rebel players in the game, a powerhouse squad leader, and the Stingray family leader. He earned the respect of his fellow players and leaders over his SWC career, and cemented his place as one of SWC’s icons.
Although his play was limited, Dak always had the skill to go into a war cold, and come out with his base standing and his opponent cleared.
Dak gave special thanks to his original Stingray Officers for not only running one of the most successful independent squads in SWC, but for laying the foundation to form Stingray Ultras, and eventually Tantive IV:
Cheers to Rebel Steve, Jedi Bracht, Matalobos, Fredrick, and Pit

Solio was a balanced warrior and finished 2020 strong with his first turkey of the year coming against QWeb May 19th. He was always a force in the Quantum-style galactic wars with several finishes on the leaderboard. A defensive pioneer — well before it was in style.

He was a fierce war negotiator. :)

Joe was the Defensive Star in 25% of the wars he played.

34.04% Attack % in 2020
Before moving to Tantive IV, Hooah was a mainstay officer of W.A.R. and worked his way up through the top squads along the way. Deceptively effective on defense, Hooah climbed into the top 5 career defender race.
Also of note in 2020 was Hooah’s improvement on attack. He was always quick to praise his squad mentors for their help, and he showed that appreciation on the battlefield, improving his clear rate over 10% from 2019.
Nominated for the “I wear my No-OP heart on my sleeve” award: 2020
general low
T4 Officer and Original W.A.R. Officer
83.78% Defense success in 2020, #7 among active players
General Low was a former leader of W.A.R.Jedi and a mainstay in Tantive IV. Low picked up No-OP tactics and defense from the T4 mentors and quickly put that to use in battle.
Low may be one of the players that we’ll never know his ceiling due to the game closure, but safe to say General Low was constantly improving.
His attitude and effort made Low a squad favorite, and if you need some real-life marksman tips, you know who to call.
Winner of the “Don’t tread on me” award: 2019-2020

65.00% Combo in 2020

80.00% 2020 Defensive success
2020 Clears: 42, #5
When Kylo joined T4 from the Dark Side of BD, it wasn’t a big surprise that he would quickly become one of the most potent attackers in squad. Already regarded as one of the finest players in the game, KFree added to his legacy with a great performance as a Rebel.
As T4 lost players to retirement, KFree’s addition came at the perfect time. His presence helped T4 to remain a dominant squad in No-OP until the end.
Winner of the “Most likely to clear a base with a hero you’ve never used before” award: 2020
nala

Nala joined Tantive IV in 2019 and brought instant leadership and class to the squad. A former leader of W.A.R.Heroes, Nala continued her SWC career with a foray into the world of No-OP wars, helping T4 maintain a strong presence every matching day.
Nala was instrumental to the SWC leadership community for years, having worked with the early W.A.R. mergers, and had insights and access into the inner workings of the game few ever knew.
If not for Solio and his Tutu, Nala would win the Best Dressed award every year.
Winner of the “Classy Lady” award: 2019-2020
papa svane
T4 Officer and Dual-Faction Beast
49.30% career Attack %

Papa added 6 defensive triples to his attack totals in 2020, and on offense he was known for being able to clear any base at any time in any faction. A solid addition to the T4 lineup from Day 1.

Fred “The Axe man”
Original T4 Member and Officer, Retired 2020
67.86% career Combo, #3 all-time
A core member of Stingray, Fred was an original member and Second Wave Officer. Fredrik was one of the best pure attackers in the game, and the absolute Closer in wars. He attacked the hardest players, under the most pressure. The Axe man moniker was earned, Fred was one of the best.
Sadly, Fred left SWC after the game closure announcement and deleted his Line account, and unfortunately was not here to say goodbye. He will still go down as one of the all-time greatest players in T4.
Nominated for the“Most likely to rage quit from not getting enough No-OP wars” award: 2019-2020

T4 Officer and Original W.A.R. Officer
44.34% Combo in 2020

Winner of the “Most likely to be mistaken for an Imp by his badge” award: 2020
Maddog
T4 Officer and Medal Masher
72.73% Defense success in 2020
Maddog lived up to call sign, reaching #1 in the PvP player rankings. Before T4, Mad was a co-Leader in W.A.R.Heroes.
While Mad was one of the predominantly PvP players in Tantive IV, he helped the squad immensely with his activity. One of the tradeoffs of launching a No-OP war squad is that players who don’t play PvP aren’t always around to fill war SC’s ahead of, and during the wars. If we didn’t forget about life before the donation bot, you may remember how important this was.
Winner of the “Most likely to reach the top of the Leaderboard” award: 2020
dod
Original T4 Member and Stingray Ultras Officer
67.18% career Combo %, #5 all-time
85.45% career Defense success, #3 all-time
When T4 was formed, DOD was was described to his W.A.R. counterparts as “The Closer”. When examining his career numbers, he was near the top in all major categories. It’s not hard to see why DOD was a feared player in any war format.
DOD fell just shy of the 10 wars needed to qualify for 2020 stats, but he kept an active role in Tantive IV and Stingray Ultras. A top-class player with a top-class attitude. He was respected by all his squad mates.
Nominated for the “Most likely to backup his call sign with results” award: 2019
chris
Original T4 Member and Officer
While Chris took on different priorities after his amazing career in W.A.R., he was critical in the formation of Tantive IV. The W.A.R. family (with Chris as a Council member), began planning for the formation of an elite No-OP war squad over a year earlier.
Chris was in more private chats hammering out details than anyone would ever be aware.
As a player, Chris was a monster. He didn’t flex his No-OP muscle in T4 as much as he could have, but his peers know as a full-time player he’d be competing with the best in T4 for awards.
Chris will be appreciated for his stand-up attitude, fair play, and care for his squad mates.
Winner of the “Most likely to ride…” award 2019-2020
LMA
Original T4 Member and Officer
LMA is arguably the best player you didn’t know about. Throughout his career in W.A.R., LMA was top class as an attacker and in PvP overall. In No-OP wars, LMA was a natural. Even after extended breaks, he could come back to the game, learn the new troops, and dominate.
As as surgeon, it’s no surprise that Lma had amazing hand-eye coordination and was capable of pulling off any attack style. What is more surprising is how he always made time for the squad - even in the middle of a global pandemic.
We’d loved to have seen more of LMA in action, but are grateful to have him with us for the ride.
Nominated for the “I don’t need a warmup” award: 2020
mile high mob
T4 Officer and Original W.A.R. Officer
56.93% Combo in 2020
Mob had a solid PvP and No-OP career in T4. He was a mainstay in the W.A.R. family from the earliest days, and weathered the storms of SWC to end his career in Tantive IV.
Mob left the squad right before our final war of the year, but we hope he still feels the love from his squad mates.
Winner of the “Where’d Mob go?” award: 2019-2020.
gben
T4 Officer and PvP Medal Masher
Gben came to T4 primarily as a PvP player, but put some time into No-OP wars before returning to climbing the player Leaderboard.
Gben was one of the most active players in squad, and like Maddog, he provided much needed donation support for the wars and would fill in as needed.
Gben rode to the sunset of SWC with the rest of his T4 squad mates and will be appreciated for his help throughout.
Winner of the “You guys have the strangest requests in SWC” award: 2019-2020
chomperon8
Original T4 Member, Retired
Chomperon left T4 to expand his reach in the SWC universe, but he was still an integral part of the formation of Tantive IV, and certainly provided the energy in the early days as the Stingray Ultras and W.A.R. players learned to work together.
It may seem like a long time ago, but in most of 2019 we’d begin a war with base maps of every opponent before you’d have even scouted your base. Chomp was the guy doing all that, and acting as the glue.
We won’t know how Chomp would have developed as a No-OP warrior, but we know he was there during the critical times when the success of Tantive IV was still in the balance.
Nominated for the “Most likely to go on walkabout” award: 2019-2020
There were several other players that made Tantive IV a success:
BMA: He was an absolute killer and dual-faction master. Anyone who played with BMA knew they were playing with one of the all-around best players in SWC. His value in wars was unquestionable, and a dear loss to the squad when the game shifted to Prestige and the costs (either cook times, upgrades, or crystals) became prohibitive for many great players.
Kjs: One of the Stingray Ultras mainstays, Kjs didn’t get as much action in T4 as we would have hoped, but a solid player and contributor nonetheless.
Nemo: He came and went with the same velocity, and while Nemo was here all he did was dominate. As we tracked the 2020 and career ladders, Nemo worked his way up to the top almost unnoticed until he left. He had the total package on offense and defense. He still holds several career marks for the squad.
Wall St.: Wall was an active player before his untimely disappearance from Tantive IV. Another player we’ll never know his ceiling, but he was a pleasure to have in squad when we did.
