Message from the Office of Admiral Kotari (RP SEASON 4 cont)
Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2017 11:39 amTo all Starfleet officers of Lotus Fleet,
As of Stardate 88968.3, Lotus Fleet Command division of Starfleet has been ordered to maintain and expand deployement of the fleet. The demands of exploration, colonization and security on a fleet still reeling from the Borg Invasion and the Azimuth Horizon threat while having mounting tension on the Klingon border, the Romulan neutral Zone and the Gamma Quadrant, as well as within Cardassian, Kzinti and Ferengi Space, still requires immediate drastic measures to allow Starfleet to respond effectively. The added task of exploring and colonizing the new Eden universe beyond the Azimuth Horizon portal makes further demands on Starfleet in general and Lotus Fleet in particular.
Therefore, all active ranked officers judged fit for command duties are allowed the following opportunities, according to rank:
Lieutenant Junior Grade
All officers below full Lieutenant rank will be assigned to active starships to fulfill the new demands of our expanding roster. No command opportunity will be offered at this time.
Lieutenant
May captain JOC mission on Starbase Lotus' class XI shuttlecraft or any of the following:
USS Polaris, Aquarius class, flagship escort vessel; must apply for assignement to the flagship USS Horizon.
USS Umqua, Nova class short range science vessel (recommissionned).
Lieutenant Commander
May captain a JOC mission or any of the ships listed above, or any of the additionnal following:
USS Wisconsin, Nebula class multitask vessel currently configured for ferrying incoming and departing personnel, supply and rescue operations within the Hromi sector
USS Republic, Excelsior class, short range patrol vessel (refitted) assigned to the Hromi sector.
USS Pittsburg, New Orleans class, assigned as escort and diplomatic ship to be recalled from the Kzinti border.
USS Alsea, Prometheus class, Command School ship: As department head, an officer of at least Lieutenant Commander rank may take command of a section of the USS Alsea captained by a higher ranking officer. There are two such sub-command positions available on the Alsea; the main section must be under the command of a Commander or above officer. Each section might then be sent on a separate sub-mission regarding an overall mission.
Commander
May captain as officially recognized Acting Captains of any class of starship available in Lotus Fleet's current roster, including all the ones listed above and the following:
USS Lotus, Intrepid class long range special missions vessel
USS Spectre, Akira class multitask support vessel, currently configured for combat
USS Alsea, Prometheus class warship and Command School vessel of Lotus Fleet.
