Rising Through the Ranks

[lostinthelightss]

Good morning, aspiring astral explorers! Please take your seats and pull out your tablet devices and prepare for today's seminar on how you may ascend through the ranks of Astral Command on the ISS Astrolabe. For each review left during your cohort's Race the Gala-Z, you will demonstrate the proper mental acuity and dexterity expected of members of Astral Command. We hope your journeys through this galaxy and to other planets go smoothly, but cannot promise complete safety -- an acceptable, minimal level of risk is a constant presence in space travel.

Reviews left as part of the main Race the Gala-Z event will count here ONLY if they are not used for tasks or fueling during active round play, and must be linked to separately here when claiming new ranks.

The rank you achieve is up to you, so please enjoy this year's Astrolabe and get to exploring!

Ranks:

• Cadet (1)
• Midshipman (5)
• Ensign (10)
• Engineer (25)
• Science Officer (50)
• Navigation Officer (75)
• Lieutenant (100)
• Captain (125)
• Commodore (150)
• Vice Admiral (200)

Please claim your Astral Command ranks in this format:

counted + that's right, your counting is perfect.

if you guys don't mind putting your username just to make it easier to c&p into the spreadsheet for any future reviews that would be great, but no worries at all about not doing it now - i know it's a hassle + is kind of silly, it just helps with the copy-paste.
