Greetings Chickenbranches
I'm Admiral Intrepid and I am honored that you have chose the Mighty 44th!
I hereby grant you the commission of Ensign.
Was there any particular path of science and exploration you would like to join? For example, we offer Engineering division, medical division, or the research and development division. Take your pick.
Go ahead and upload your avatar anyway (green, ensign 1 pip) and if you have any further questions please feel free to contact me, Fleet Admiral Webster, Admiral Latinumbar, or anyone! We're a tight-knit group so don't be shy! Feel free to post about yourself in introductions and take part in fleet activities.
Our promotion system so far is based upon activity here on the forums and activity on the main STO website for our fleet recruitment post. Promotions are biweekly and we review each member for their activity during this time. Stqay active and you'll move through the ranks in no time.
