#notallPacifists...
All those positive things I've said about Federation Pacifists before?
Out they go!
What even is our total C and cap? I've been ignoring it ever since the Biophage Crisis.
From last snakepit:
So we still have room to basically double the size of the fleet.

Fearing the mind-reading pacifist who will surely see the foul ambitions that churn in her augment heart, Patricia Chen vanishes from the public eye.
A year later, she reappears, now a naturalized Qloathi citizen. Amid a whirlwind of suspicious political scandals and deaths, Chen rises to the top of the Qloathi government.
Two years after that - after engineering a breakdown of the usual political barriers against this - Chen takes control of the entire STO triad. The STO conspiracy exposed in 2320 was just a test run masterminded by Chen, and this time she knows exactly what to do.
Five years later, the STO secedes from the Federation under God Empress Chen. They rename themselves the Followers of Chen. Or, in Qloathi, the Chenkethi.
A few decades later there has been some linguistic evolution, and the Tzenkethi are a hostile power located along the Federation/Cardassian border.
Top.

This is actually a surprisingly realistic possibility if Chen is actually an Augment like has been previously suggested.
Rather than being blocked, I don't recall us deciding to promote Lathriss to Admiral in the first place. We voted to make head of Starfleet Tactical into an Admiral position, but normally in such a case we vote on who moves into the new slot rather than auto-promoting the incumbent. Granted there was a lot of talk in the thread, including from me, about retaining Lathriss, but I would have been willing to consider competing bonuses to see whose was best.
I suspect that it what actually went down is that our move to up Starfleet Tactical to Admiral tier is what was blocked. It fits with this:
saying we're getting a choice to upgrade a different department rather then choosing a different head of Tactical.
Huh, interesting. Starfleet Tactical was actually the cheapest department to upgrade to Admiral rank last Snakepit.
So bright side, if we get to pick a different department, I guess we effectively got it at a discount?

I honestly would be okay with rebranding Tactical too. Starfleet Crisis Operations with a Preparations department would make a certain amount of sense.
e: also it seems possible that we might be questioned on promoting Lathriss to full Admiral when his only Starfleet experience is with Tactical. I would definitely be okay with shuffling him to another department to prove himself, provided he doesn't them retire / go on leave as our brass seem wont to do

You've already seen those options in the 2320 Snakepit. They opened up options to increase the number of availabel diplomatic pushes, as well as better protect trade routes.

Those sound quite attractive, but I imagine they have more in the offering.

It might have something to do with not reorganizing Perzonnel to a Vice Admiral position. It was the last option left, but we skiped over it.
So if Chen was off the table, what's everyone's next choice for new Starfleet Commander?

My guess is the Pacifists don't want Tactical too become a too large part of Starfleet.
I mean, sure, why not?

So there is a dimension to Chen's sabbatical that I haven't seen noted yet: She is following in Kahurangi's footsteps.
Again.
Not a bad idea, really. Kahurangi was her mentor and took a sabbatical and then came back as one of Starfleet's most celebrated commanders, if not the greatest. Kahurangi also lasted twelve years in the hotseat compared to Sulu and Sousa's four, so the idea of a sabbatical clearly has merit.
On a different note, I'm curious what the political backlash will be against the president's office from the Amarki. Sure, we just had one of our appointments denied. This sucks. The Amarki, the first memberspecies outside of the original four just had one of their most highly decorated admirals snubbed by a relative newcomer.
