There shall also be a Starfleet Council implemented when Starfleet matures in size. [size="3"]Article 2: The Admiral[/size] The Admiral will be considered as the final authority in Starfleet Command. He or she will preside over the four departments equally and maintain order within Starfleet. [size="3"]Article 3: The Vice Admiral[/size] The Vice Admiral will serve as the second-in-command beneath the Admiral. He or she will also serve as the Head of War and Defense.

To be considered for election or appointment the officer must be of rank Lieutenant. All officers of rank Ensign and above will be allowed to submit a name for consideration.

The Admiral may dismiss any Rear Admiral or Commodore that he or she deems unable/unwilling to take care of his or her responsibilities. The Heads of the Departments may dismiss their own Commodore(s) if they have a reason. Following a successful impeachment of any Command officer the Admiral or Vice Admiral will assume the responsibilities of the impeached officer. After a Command officer is impeached or dismissed then he or she will resume a rank one level below his or her former rank.

Duncan King Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Haven't heard of any of you, and that concerns me quite a bit because as a Trekkie, I want to see a Star Trek alliance flourish here. However, I suppose that you not being involved with Zhaan/Mason/whatever the heck he calls himself now is probably a good thing as he founds and changes alliances (and names) as often as most people change socks.

So I just want to thank you for making that guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
