The promotion to the rank of commander is a joyous occasion in our community – the result of years of writing, mentoring, and learning the ropes. The multi-step process in a promotion to Commander starts with a nomination from two members of the fleet at or above the rank of Commander, followed by an initial vote from the Captains Council to allow the examination process to begin. Then, the member must pass both a written exam, and a practical exam. Finally, another vote by the Captains Council confirms the promotion. Candidates must show that they have great simming skills, strong knowledge of Star Trek, and the foundations of leadership and teaching skills.
The Captains Council is pleased to announce that Addison MacKenzie, First Officer of the USS Resolution, has been promoted to the rank of Commander!
Addison MacKenzie joined Starbase 118 in 2019. She was first posted to the USS Veritas as a Medical officer. She then served at the Embassy of Duronis II and the USS Thor as Chief Medical Officer, before finally taking the XO position on the Resolution in 2020.
In addition to their duties aboard Resolution, the writer behind MacKenzie participates in Veterans Affairs, serves as a statistician and cadet trainer on the Training Team, and is the facilitator of the Community History Team. They have been decorated with the Genesis Award, the Sheathed Sword, TOSMA, and Prantares Ribbon, and have received multiple commendations in the 2021 State of the Federation Address.
