' Wrote:Could be possible... the previous ones, "Firebird" and "Hyperwave", retired. I was speaking of rank in a more informal sense when mentioning the Minister of Defence, in the sense of a chain of command, civilian or military. The Minister of Defence theoretically would outrank the Fleet Admiral.
Yes, that seems about right. Callsigns 'Firebird' and 'Hyperwave' were, I believe, Admirals based from Planet Cambridge. With reforms and the like of the BAF's organisation, it seems that the Queen wanted to surreptitiously make use of her technical position on the Admiralty board, encouraging the Commodores directly under her to do something radical in current wars. She probably doesn't do much, but lends a respectability and seniority to the QCRF.
