Edict #15
A new Marine RPG is hereby established in Fleet One. It will be called the “13th Platoon” The Marine ship is under the direct control of STF1 Command. The FComm-1 has power to appoint a “CO” but the President has the right to veto a decision. The FComm-1 also has the right to replace the “CO” with just cause. Again, the President has the right to veto the decision. All players in the 13th Platoon will be second characters.
Charles Marschall is hereby appointed 1st Lieutenant (CO). His official rank in STF is now Commander. Charles’ command counts as a XO position in STF which means he is eligible for a normal command elsewhere. (This also goes for future 1st Lieutenants)
I’ll be honest, I didn’t like the idea in the beginning but considering the overwhelming support for it and the fact that I trust Mr. Marschall to make this a success, I am going to give it a shot. But…the Marine Sim is on a trial basis and it will be re-evaluated by myself and the FComm-1 in 90 days.
