Ensign

New officer that is green as grass. Still learning how to be an officer. This is the rank most officers start out as, and as such, not much is expected of them. They are addressed as "Ensign."

Promotions, Demotions, and Administration
Because ensigns are new officers, they are given very little moderation abilities.


 * Promote directly up to E3, and recommend >E7 for promotion.
 * Demote down one rank, and may give class B NJPs.

Ratings
Since an ensign is a learning officer, ratings are oriented around their training phase. While no captain positions are shown, some ensigns may be specially chosen to host sessions and command a ship.
