The FO salutes the assembled Fleet tiredly. Many of them hadn't seen AD Sarriss for a while, and were shocked at what they saw. She was tired and haggard, her face was drawn and her uniform hung limply on her gaunt frame. She began to speak, and what the Fleet heard was not the best of news...

"Greetings loyal Imperials...

I stand before you today to announce my resignation. As you all recall, my recent time on leave was spent in the medical wards. It is for this reason that I am stepping down, as with the increasing time I have to spend in bacta tanks, I no longer have the time to dedicate in service to this wonderful Fleet and it's cause in my current capacity as FO. I thank you all for the opportunity to serve, and would like you to welcome your new FO, Vice-Admiral Theodore... I trust you will all give him your support."

AD Sarriss steps down from the podium, and walks slowly out of the briefing room, head down.

VA Theodore steps up to the podium, and continues with the weeks FO report...

Rumours abound about the EH taking action to assume control of a system mired in electoral whining, but the rumours are false. The bureaucracy of the system at issue is too vast for even the EH to absorb. We must be patient and enjoy the continued prosperity we currently enjoy.

This week saw some shifting of positions and some groups actually had slight drops in numbers. Recruit and it will pay off.

The Sovereign added a few pilots this week. Up seven pilots.

The Battlegroups dropped a couple more pilots this week, but have mostly been active.

The ASF picked up another pilot and MP recruiting continues.

The Avenger dropped a couple of the pilots it added last week, but still continues it's long-term growth.

The Naval Corps dropped a pilot this week and holds steady at about the same position as over the last several months.

The elites are all close to full strength but for Avenger which has dropped to 7 pilots.

The Daedalus numbers dropped a bit this week with an AWOL purge. Numbers, however, remain over 250 and there are many of recruiting opportunities. Take advantage.

All in all...the fleet is strong and well. as always....act like an officer and have fun!!!

Footnote: My RL health problems are not quite as serious as any idea you may get from the above address, however, they are there, and with my current state of "overworked and underpaid", I truely do not have the time to dedicate to this wonderful club as FO. I will, however, be staying on for a while as CA:FO.
