Comrades of the Coalition!
I am pleased to announce that our notoriously out-dated rosters have been brought fully up to date. Upon looking at this new roster it seems we have too many Captains.
That can be easily remedied of course with a bullet, but the following three pilots have distinguished themselves.
Comrades Coronel, Stroganov and Lanakov you are each hereby promoted to the rank of Major.
Keep in mind that while you are now officially Majors, you're still in your probationary phase. As such you will only be given access to the Radek and Sickle which are now to be the official Cruiser Training Ships of the Coalition.
Comrade Lanakov, you are EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN to try and mount Novas on either Training Ship.
That is all Comrades, now go out there and make the Coalition and its people proud to call you their Comrades.
