Academy Commandant

Academy Commandant

The office of Academy Commandant is one of the most prestigious posts in the entire fleet.

The Commandant is usually a   four or five star Admiral with a Star ship captain service record.(Battle Ship) The Commandant is recommended by Fleet Command and appointed by the Assembly.

The Commandant   is nominal under the Auspice   of the Admiral of the Fleet, but is independent responsible for all Academy branches of the Fleet (as of 5020)

Admiral Webb Stokes (Academy Commandant from 4996 -5040) took the Newport Incident as an argument why the Commandant should have greater responsibility and control authority regarding personnel decisions for the Academy.

The Assembly agreed and invested sole decision power to the Commandant, but also added sole responsibility and declared that a case like Newport would then ultimately be the responsibility of the Commandant.

The Academy Commandant Office is based on Arsenal II
