Throughthe heat of August the Republic has been burning. Just yesterday we scrambled a fast response wing from Hesperia and crippled the LNS Warbird, but after-action reports aren't what I'm here to talk about.
We couldn't have done what we did without the help of two returning Legionnaires, Jim McKinsey and Marcus Brass.
Jim McKinsey was an officer who served under both Joyeuse and Markson at the rank of Fleet Captain. McKinsey has been out of the fight for some years and will need time to familiarize himself with the changes the Legion has undergone, and as such he is being reinstated at the rank of Major for now. He's already shown himself to be a fine addition to Taskforce Warhammer.
Marcus Brass is a name many of you are already familiar with. My predecessor as Lord Commander and a renowned leader of the Legion for many years, he has requested his reinstatement at the rank of Fleet Admiral, which I am more than happy to grant him. Brass is both an excellent soldier and an excellent leader, and I implore every Legionnaire - old or new - to learn what you can from him.
Lieutenant Kelly With is hereby promoted to the rank of Major for her unwavering dedication to the Legion and clear head on the field of battle. I recruited you and watched you ascend the Legion's ranks myself, and I could not be more proud.
Give yourselves a pat on the back and grab yourselves a drink, you've earned it. On a final note, I myself will be heading planetside to enjoy the last days of summer on Guadalajara. Admirals Lancaster, Revels, and Brass are more than capable of handling things in my stead. Follow their orders as you would my own.
