We can't rush the Pathfinder or Sojourner separately, anyway. Remember that they're being built using Chen's dual construction ability so that they both have to be built according to the exact same schedule.
There are no "non-full Mentat noble houses". They all use them, just some use them more than others.

Okay, almost slipped my mind, but next up we have a waifu vote-Explorer Corps captain vote. Two actually.
ACCEPTING CHARACTER NOMINATIONS FOR THE EC PANEL OF CAPTAINS.
You can nominate any Captain, or any Commander who has had the rank for minimum three years (having service on an 5YM is a boon to getting accepted).
Jennifer Zhang will already be added.

I don't want to take her off Renaissance yet. Her being the captain of our most advanced ship is very prestigious, after all.

Throw in some non-humans to shut up that asshole newspaper who keeps accusing us of pushing humans to be the leaders of starfleet? I keep wanting to punch that bastard reporter/editor.

It would be nice to pull exclusively from characters who have appeared in logs or omakes, though I'm not sure we're quite there yet. Anyway, of those only Tellarites are likely to have the seniority to have anyone at Captain rank quite yet, apart from maybe some Amarki transfers.

"I've had enough of your disingenuous assertions."
"I've had enough of your snide insinuations."
Looking at the database, I see a few options:
Let's narrow it down to some solid contenders.
Captain Zaardmani needs no introduction, he's been on the USS Enterprise and he's cut his teeth on Captaincy. Only problem I can see is the Oberth is smol, so not a lot of Big Ship experience.
Captain Min-Jee Lee and Captain Shurg kap Klasch are here for the same reason: they were part of Revak's unit that put up a ferocious defense against the Cardassian onslaught. Outnumbers and outgunned, they nevertheless took light casualties and inflicted a surprising amount of damage so I think they've earned a reward. I'd give the edge to Captain Lee as she has more experience with a larger vessel, but neither is any slouch.
Nokair ch'Gharist has commanded an explorer already, also is Andorian to round out the numbers here.
Also there's Abigail Taggart but as you can perhaps tell from the small font I feel weird personally lobbying for her. However, she has always dreamed of EC captaincy.
If you forced me to narrow it down to two candidates I would nominate Captain Min-Jee Lee as my first choice and Captain Zaardmani as my second.
- Diego Zaardmani - Captain, USS Torbiel for 2 years, has been on FYM
- Percival Amin - Captain, XO Starbase 10 for 2 years, FYM?
- Min-Jee Lee - Captain, USS Valiant for at most 2-ish years, FYM?
- Shurg kap Klasch - Captain, USS Bon Vivant for [?] years, FYM?
- Huth fop Makpol - First Officer, Starbase 4 [Tellar] for [?] years, Captain Avandar before that, FYM?
- Nokair ch'Gharist - Captain, USS Thirishar for 2 years, FYM?
- Jidon - Captain, USS Kearsarge for [?] years, Captain USS Svai for [?] years, FYM?
- Abigail Taggart - Captain, USS Winterwind for 3 years, XO USS Sappho. Has been on FYM.

I like Percival Amin. Here's his very first appearance back in 2302.
He saved the day! And having served as XO on a Starbase is bound to give him an interesting perspective.
Oh shoot I like him now too.
Not entirely correct -- Chad is a Tellarite.Current full members without EC captains above
Unfortunately it's hard to find any of the other three without directly stealing from member world fleets, as the Academy grads haven't had time to 'grow up'.
Commander Kole would qualify in that case for a Betazoid, as his TIR is 3+ years. However Simon might have him meet the nasty end of a Sydraxian bayonet.
However, in the interest of diversity, I offer you this:
A/N: I guess Xuggaed could also be the Odyessy's XO, as they've never been named AFAICT. I also don't know if it's allowed to draw people for Captaincy of a FYM from a FYM in progress.
So she did.
Sounds like she could have some sort of "re-roll a [something -- sensor?] failure" bonus, maybe +1H for DC experience?

She certainly has a good progression for it.
He's probably a lot less nervous now
It's allowed - McAdams, for instance, was offered a promotion off the Courageous. In practice, like Riker turning down his own command a few times, people want to see out their missions, and it usually waits till after.I also don't know if it's allowed to draw people for Captaincy of a FYM from a FYM in progress.
Leaniss for sure
Sabek, last seen commanding the USS Dryad, not sure where he is now
MJ Lee is a good choice

I actually would really like to get some captains from our "newer" affiliates like the Apiata (and give them a very solid and experienced xo) to mix things up a bit but I admit that this would require recruiting from the member fleets which has its own share of problems and my main motivation is mostly image (and fun) related.

Possible nomination:
Captain Winslow of the USS Lexington. Served aboard Sarek during T'Lorel's five year mission including the Biophage, commanded Lexington from her first departure from the yards. Served as Uhura's flag captain for the tail end of the anti-Syndicate campaign. We know he paints (he painted a retirement gift for Kahurangi) and he's intended to be written as being fairly socially clueful. A subtle captain.
Unfortunately, he does not have a first name...
-LEANISS!!
-One of EITHER fop Makpol OR ch'Gharist
-One of EITHER Zaardmani OR Lee
Picking 'both' in either of the 'or' categories wouldn't bother me, but I do want to keep putting nonhumans on the list. We have a natural tendency to create mostly human characters in our omakes. It's a thing I'm trying to compensate for, because it's inherently rather unrealistic.

That doesn't mean she doesn't belong on the list of Explorer Corps captains candidates. Demora Sulu's been on the list for 2-3 years and is still commanding a cruiser. The list isn't about who's flying an explorer at this very moment, it's only about who's qualified.
For myself, I'm going to push:
-LEANISS!!
-One of EITHER fop Makpol OR ch'Gharist
-One of EITHER Zaardmani OR Lee

I will confirm that Commander Kole survives, in large part through sheer psychic broforce.Commander Kole would qualify in that case for a Betazoid, as his TIR is 3+ years. However Simon might have him meet the nasty end of a Sydraxian bayonet.
Amin managed to keep some scraps of his "wet behind the ears Syndrome" up into his thirties, but working as XO of Uhura's flagship for a few years finished the job.He's probably a lot less nervous now

Could we do that? Ask member fleets for proposals? They must have some people that would be good enough.

That's a good thought. Hmm, 40 years, so if she went straight for the Academy, that's 18 years or so of service, the omake she came from was 2312? I believe? Let me see if there's a spare ship she could have been cutting her teeth on over the last year.
