Mr. Russ's Holoship Collection 02 - RNS Drakaina
Added 2022-04-24 02:12:49 +0000 UTCRNS Drakaina
Type: Prytaneion-class Auxiliary Ship
Origin: Prime Galactic Regency
In the Prime Galactic Navy, petty officers and warrant officers can achieve rank and distinction through various types of specialization, training, and accrued experience.
However, there are only three certain ways for them to become commissioned officers. The distinction is what enables a service member to pursue the senior ranks and all-important advancement to the peerage.
- The first (and most common) method is completing a course of study at one of the Regency’s military academies. These can be difficult to achieve placement in, given that access is often reserved for the hereditary nobility and those sponsored by nobility.
- The second method is being directly commissioned by proclamation of the Regents, although in truth it’s the Admiralty that arranges for this. It is typically the method by which honorary ranks are bestowed, or field commissions come to be recognized on a permanent basis.
- The third method is for an applicant to submit their name for the original Officer Candidacy Test. Should they qualify, the test involves coming aboard the RNS Drakaina without an officer’s sword of one’s own, and departing with one. All other details are to remain confidential – not as a military secret, but as a matter of the candidate’s personal honor.
The significance of this ship to my own career is a subject upon which I would prefer not to elaborate.
