- "Star-and-pierced:" Someone who has graduated from Fleet Academe (I presume, anyway)[4]
I'm also going to stick specific roles (roles, as opposed to ranks) here for lack of a significantly better place to put them; they can become their own page or go on another place or something eventually:
- New Officer Training Coordinator (NOTC): The officer on a ship who is responsible for training and orientation for newly-assigned officers.[2]
- Liason: As in, "liaison to the aliens." The officer who is responsible for communication and coordination with allied aliens onboard, such as Flitzbe and Platies.
Names for things used by Fleet personnel.
