Hale here.
As you all know, with the recent departure of Vice Admiral Stephanie Gray from the high command structure, we have been lacking a high command member. In a slightly unusual step I have promoted someone to the rank who previously was not a member of the Primary fleet. Lucia Defmir is now holds the rank of Vice Admiral within the Liberty Navy.
She has a long and distinguished career within the secondary fleet and her tactical and strategic understanding I regard as equal to my own. I have admittedly taken something of a leap by bringing someone into the command structure from outside the primary fleet, however Miss Defmir has more than earned my respect. The decision was not taken lightly, and is the result of long discussions with Commodore Robinson, Vice Admiral Hood and Admiral Malrone regarding the future of the high command structure.
Miss Defmir is to be afforded the respect you would give to any other high command officer.
