At this moment operational orders are pending for the LEF, however, it must be pointed out the only concrete positions are the CO and XO slots. In additon, all LEF (Commodore on down) units are charged with a dual role of providing a dedicated ship for the LEF, but must maintain a primary vessel for Liberty patrol and defense. Each unit is allowed only 1 ship in the LEF within their paygrade, i.e. Lt. GB/Fighter. Due to the unique nature of the LEF and operations outside Liberty space new vessels maybe used in addition to the traditional listings. Opened for consideration are Osiris BS and Raven fighters for all are based upon Liberty tech.
Another aspect of the new CoC is that Admiral RedBear is being kicked up-stairs to take command of the Combined Fleet. RedBear's promotion will open the Texas Squadron to a new rising STAR. However, the position shall not be available for 2-4 weeks, which provides all spirited officers an opportunity to dream of an Admiral's star.

Addendum: LEF tagging shall be [SA]-LEF-Name, and reason for limitation is that the LEF is a supplemental force for combined actions and not an invasion force. By limiting number of vessels we reduce tension with Allies and Sector community in general. In addition, this is why the LEF is commanded by a Commodore rather than an admiral. By limiting the level of the rank it allows for the LEF to fit better within an Ally's command structure. Also, all personnel within the LEF are limited to one ship. The CO and XO of the LEF must also provide an existing ship for Liberty patrol and defense.
(ooc: Thor, the Commodore's rank insigna is a Golden Eagle as opposed to the Captain's Silver)
