While I am lothe to take a break from the hula girls, there is a small matter to attend to. Brandon, you might be interested in this one. :-)
Edict #5
“It’s all about the Kids”
Under the authority vested in me by the Holy Sisko, and by Edict Bourdaa #32 establishing Training Vessels under Academy jurisdiction, I present to you the following… (with due apologies to the American space shuttle program)
- ESTABLISHMENT OF ACADEMY FLEET
A new Fleet is hereby established, under the name “Starfleet Academy”. This Fleet shall house all Academy Training Vessels as well as the Academy administrative areas. The Internet Department is instructed to bring this Fleet online within the next seven days.
The Academy Commandant shall have authority of Fleet Commander within the Starfleet Academy Fleet, with all the responsibilities therein as defined by this and other Edicts.
- RELOCATION OF EXISTING ACADEMY SHIPS
The “Starfleet Academy” Ship in the Command Area Fleet is hereby relocated to the Starfleet Academy Fleet, and renamed “Academy Headquarters”. It shall serve as the OOC Administrative Area for the Academy. The Internet Department is instructed to make this change within the next seven days.
The USS Challenger Ship in the Command Area Fleet is hereby relocated to the Starfleet Academy Fleet. The Internet Department is instructed to make this change effective as soon as due notice can be given to all current Challenger Cadets to minimize the potential confusion.
- COMMISSIONING OF NEW TRAINING VESSEL
The USS Discovery, NCC-73237, Discovery-class, is hereby commissioned in the Starfleet Academy Fleet as a Training Vessel. It shall operate under the same rules governing Training Vessels such as the Challenger, as set forth in Edicts Bourdaa #32, Spurlin #2, and any later Edicts.
Captain Ralf Steen is hereby appointed XO of the USS Discovery, Starfleet Academy.
Academy Commdant Steve Ashton and Discovery XO Steen are instructed to select and place a CO, Counselor, and DHs within the next seven days. Upon the completion of this task, they shall inform the Personnel Department that the Discovery is ready to accept new Cadets.
The Personnel Department is instructed to assign new Cadets to each Training Vessel equally such that all Training Vessel ships are and remain approximately the same size.
