That is possible or maybe one with Palleon

Kratas · « **Reply #181 on:** June 20, 2007, 12:38:37 PM »

about how he wound up commanding a fleet of victories like 10 years later

I meant like in the Empire's time but that is good too.

Kratas · « **Reply #183 on:** June 20, 2007, 01:55:04 PM »

he was probably a leitenant or an aide to thrawn

GrndAdmrlPellaeon · « **Reply #184 on:** June 20, 2007, 03:27:25 PM »

Palleon. He was first mate on the Chimaera before Thrawn came and then when the captain died at Endor he took over

well if that was the case then that that would make a pretty boring book ebook maybe

But Pellaeon started his military career in the Republic Navy in the Clone Wars.

Was that actually the same person ? i thought there was some confusion over that, with the Pallaeon from the Clone Wars having a different eye colour to the Pallaeon with Thrawn. And the Pallaeon in the Clone Wars was a captain (of an Acclamator), while the Pallaeon with Thrawn worked his way up the command ranks of a Star Destroyer and only achieved captaincy at the Battle of Endor (when the Chimeara's former captain was killed).

an acclamator is alot different than an imp star, id say second-in-command of a destroyer would be a promotion

Meyer · « **Reply #189 on:** June 22, 2007, 01:56:04 AM »

it indeed would be a promotion.

Slornie · « **Reply #190 on:** June 22, 2007, 04:46:22 AM »

but a captain of a Carrack is no less a captain than the captain of a Star Destroyer, it is one rank - so going from captaincy of a ship to one member of another ships command staff is really a demotion.

GrndAdmrlPellaeon · « **Reply #191 on:** June 22, 2007, 10:37:53 AM »

Well mayde because it is the same rank but it is because its saying your not getting demoted your just captain of a smaller ship in a backwater system

Kratas · « **Reply #192 on:** June 22, 2007, 12:27:41 PM »

it depends on their tactical knowledge and capability to comand if a captain of a patrol cruiser couldnt handle too many units because of the strain and pressure under them so they would hardly be transferred to captain of a star destroyer

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #193 on:** June 22, 2007, 01:37:49 PM »

Captain is more a generic rank given when in command of a ship, even though there actual rank is different, so a patrol cruiser captain and an imperial star destroyer captain are most likely different ranks

Noret · « **Reply #194 on:** June 22, 2007, 06:12:19 PM »

the term captain i belive used to define the person in charge of the vessel ex: the person in charge of a merchat vessel is the captain of that ship but holds no rank in the military

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #195 on:** June 22, 2007, 07:29:04 PM »

exactly

GrndAdmrlPellaeon · « **Reply #196 on:** June 22, 2007, 07:46:14 PM »

It was a rank as well

Meyer · « **Reply #197 on:** June 24, 2007, 08:39:23 AM »

But if you command ISD you have more prestige than a captain of a carrack. at least I believe so.

Kratas · « **Reply #198 on:** June 24, 2007, 02:14:05 PM »

if you commanded a isd theres a chance youd get transferred to a newly built say ssd but a carrack captain is more likely to take the position of a transferred isd captain

GrndAdmrlPellaeon · « **Reply #199 on:** June 24, 2007, 02:16:08 PM »

What idiot would move someone from carack to ISD. Unless that smeone is Thrawn.
