[Announce] TFE Fleet Operations Officer's: State of the Fleet, 2163

To the Fleet: 
 
It is with pleasure and humility that I accept the position of Fleet
Commander for Starfleet: The First Era. This is an amazing SIM organization,
exemplifying the highest creative ideals of Star Trek.
 
My first duty as Fleet Commander is to offer thanks to Robert ­ Admiral
Thomas Garroway and Capt Nathan Thompson ­ for his confidence in me over the
past years, for his invaluable mentoring, and his friendship.
 
In light of his amazing service to TFE and Forrest Outpost, which he
Captain¹d for 5 years, I am honored to present to Robert the Captain Michael
Thompson Memorial Award. This medal is awarded for outstanding contribution
and achievement on an Out-Of-Character basis, which reflects the highest
values of Star Trek, TFE and role-play. It is named as a memorial for
Michael West, player behind Captain Michael Thompson, former CO of the NX-05
Yorktown. In-Character, Michael Thompson was the brother to Robert¹s
character, Capt Nathan Thompson, former CO of Forrest Outpost. No one
deserves this prestigious award more than Robert.
 
In addition, for his In-Character service to the entire TFE organization, in
the role of Admiral Thomas R Garroway, Fleet Commander, it gives me great
pleasure to place in his hands, the Legion of Merit, Earth's highest
achievement award and given to any in character service member of Starfleet
who distinguishes himself or herself by meritorious non-combat achievement
or service above and beyond the call of duty. This certainly applies to
Admiral Garroway. Thank you, Sir, for your unselfish commitment to the
Fleet. 
 
I¹d like the extend thanks to Suzanna Batenburg (aka Suzy) for agreeing to
step in as my Fleet Advisor for the time being, as I learn the ropes for
this new position. Suzy has served TFE in many capacities over many years,
including Fleet Commander. Thank you Suzy for your continued commitment and
service. 
 
For my part, as your new Fleet Commander, I want to say I see this not as a
position of high rank, in spite of its lofty title. Following in the
tradition of those before me, I see it as a position of service to this fine
organization, to facilitate the structure upon which Yorktown, Meridian,
Forrest Outpost, and New Darwin Colony depend. I am at your service to help
make this the best RPG experience it can be for every officer and crewman in
the Fleet. Do not ever hesitate to contact me with feedback, complaints,
suggestions or questions. My ³door² is always open. Thank you for the
opportunity and I will do all in my power to be an effective and honorable
Commander for the Fleet.
 
Most sincerely, 
 
Kate 
Admiral Adrienne Sheppard
Fleet Commander 
Starfleet: The First Era
