Jalana Rajel promoted to Commodore

June 6, 2020by Roshanara Rahman in Promotions

The Executive Council is pleased to announce the promotion of Fleet Captain Jalana Rajel to the rank and title of Commodore.

Commodore Rajel is the first member to be promoted to Commodore after the introduction of new formal rules in Bylaw 2 by the EC that govern when and how this rank and title is to be awarded. Commodore is now an exclusive rank and title that captains and fleet captains can earn in UFOP: StarBase 118 once they have served as commanding officer of a vessel for five years (whether continuously during one tenure or cumulatively over multiple commands). Having completed their own “five-year mission” aboard their ships, these COs are recognized by our community as among our finest leaders in the fleet.

Congratulations Captain Jarred Thoran

May 1, 2020by Tristan Wolf in Promotions

The Executive Council of UFOP: StarBase 118 is pleased to announce that Jarred Thoran has completed the requirements for promotion to the rank of captain!

Three cheers for our newest captain! Click here to head to the forums and add your congratulations.

Currently the commanding officer of the USS Atlantis, Captain Jarred Thoran has been with our community since 2017. After graduating from the Academy, Thoran was assigned to the USS Blackwell, part of the Andaris Task Force as a security/tactical officer, working his way up through the department to become chief of security before being promoted to the position of First Officer, a duty post he served as for both the USS Blackwell and the USS Columbia before taking command of the USS Atlantis.

Richard, the writer behind Thoran, is currently a Deputy Commandant for the Academy and the facilitator of the Publicity Team. He also served as the Awards Facilitator for the 2019 Awards Ceremony and has been recognized multiple times with awards of his own such as the Locutus Award, Boothby Award, Sarpeidon Award, Strange Medallion, Shuvalis Diamond of Recognition Ribbon, and the Rising Star Award.

You can read more about him in this interview published earlier this year.

The promotion to the rank of captain is a momentous occasion in our community – the result of years of writing, mentoring, and learning the ropes. This multi-step process starts with nomination from two members of the fleet at or above the rank of Commander, an initial vote from the Executive Council followed by a written exam, a practical exam, an interview with the Executive Council, and a final vote from the Executive Council. Candidates must show that they have mastery of the art of leadership, a strong knowledge of Star Trek, the ability to teach, and great simming skills.
