mclark wrote Not being a Starfist author, I have no authority to say whether any promotions of the command staff of 34th FIST are likely in future, but I will note that when the embargo is finally lifted (as indeed it has to be), the success of meeting the Skinks on a Confederation-wide level would be improved by promoting 34th FIST officers to the command of other FISTs.

That's a good question on promotions.  I believe the commander has some power to promote with in.  I think it was mentioned in one of the books.  Don't remember how far up Sturgeon can put people.  Danners, how was the Bass OCS settled?
