[Comm ID: Vice Admiral Stephanie Malaign]
[To: Liberty Forces & Ryan MacTavish]
Ryan, I'll make this short and sweet; Cogratulations, Squadron Leader MacTavish.
To the rest of you, Ryan is being promoted for his exceptional leadership skills, and his grace in commanding a fighter.
His new rank gives him power over anyone except Admirals and Vice Admirals, in combat situations; off of the field of battle, he is to be regarded as a Commander.
