Chain of Command: Captain or HoS

[Frank_Stein]

Are you serious? These arguments were already handled on the dang wiki!

Sorry if I'm being dense, but I read through your examples and don't see anything that addresses the argument at hand, which is, does the HoS have the authority to brig/demote the captain (for non traitorous acts)?

If you could be more specific, that would be helpful.

Because from what I've seen from the wiki, that issue just... Isn't addressed. Even though it happens all the time.

I think, the only people who can demote someone are heads, and really should only do that in cases where they're just shitting everything up.

Now when it comes to when a Head should be demoted, that's most likely a security matter, so yes I'm going to say a HoS can do this.

Ideally, it wouldn't be done lightly and without the consensus of the other heads.

Here's a question for everyone though: If the Captain is brigged for traitorous actions, who assumes command, the HoS or the HoP, assuming both have shown themselves to be equally competent and trustworthy?
