Liberty Navy 46th Fleet Security Clearance: < GRANTED >
Sender ID: Fleet Admiral Martin Kemp-Smith
Recipient ID: Commander Hussein Taylor
Subject: RE: Application Response
Commander Taylor,
Seldom do we receive a lateral transfer request from the First Armada; to which you are the first. They've kindly sent over your service records in preparation for your request.
You've certainly had a prosperous career with the Armada, but your application is most welcome - I believe you will make a fine addition to the Officers of the Forty-sixth. Being a lateral transfer, you will retain your commissioned rank from the ranks of the Secondary Fleet, currently as Commander. Despite your former experience in commanding the Overlord-class Dreadnought, the Forty-sixth is more stringent on such assignments. As such, you may take command of up to, but not exceeding a battlecruiser; namely, the Interdictor or Akhetaten-class. This isn't to say that you aren't capable, but more so internal doctrine and protocol that will be enforced and observed by all officers under my charge.
Please note, Commander, you will be joining us at mid-command level. There will be officers junior to you in rank and they will conduct themselves in a manner conducive to proper naval etiquette. You may have, somehow, found yourself on the Admiralty Board of the First Armada, as a Commander, but in the Fleet, respect will be earned - and this will extend both ways. You want career progression, you've come to the right place, but here we do things properly.
Report in to our Headquarters, Norfolk Shipyard, for assignment and familiarization. You'll meet the officers you'll serve aside and those who will command you and they'll give you a briefing as to duties and expectations of you, now that you are assigned to a Primary Fleet of the Liberty Navy. You'll then be taken to the Quartermaster, who will assign you to a fighter-craft and all pertinent equipment that you'll need.
Welcome to the Fleet, Commander.
