It's been some time coming but after a long running search to find the best candidate, a decision has finally been made on whom the new Starfleet Operations Commanding Officer will be. With a healthy amount of members applying it was certainly a tough decision for Starfleet Command to make and there can only be one successful candidate.
Starfleet Operations is the {UFP}'s primary gaming division which focuses on gameplay in Star Trek: Online. With one CO Spot and Two XO spots as well as the Event Officer and Financial Team, the division aims to provide the best experience to gamers old and new.
It is with pleasure therefore that I announce that Soundwave has been officially announced as the new CO with Dodgers being appointed as the second Executive Officer (XO) to make a full command team within the division. Speaking about Soundwave Bondgadget76 mentioned that "[Soundwave] has been a great addition to the events team and I believe he will be a great addition to the SFHQ Command Team as well." Bondgadget's praise also continued when talking about Dodgers who will now be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander (Provisional) stating his congratulations and wishing them "luck on their challenge of running the division."
An Active Division
In a brief conversation with Chris Halsey we asked him a few questions on the recent events as a whole and what is to come.
What would you say to those that were unsuccessful in applying?
I know some of the applicants will be disappointed that they were not selected but in any such situation where a number of people are all trying to land one single position you are going to be in the unfortunate position of having to reject more people than you can accept. Ultimately we always have to decide what we believe is best for the fleet as a whole and I am confident we have done that on this occasion.
Why Soundwave?
Soundwave has convinced Starfleet Command that he can lead the division, he doesn't have to be the most active member of the fleet or the best PvPer or the member with the most max level characters. In the words of John Quincy Adams "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." Soundwave seems to really understand this and strikes me as a leader who really will make it a focus to help lead members to where they want to go rather than just forcing his own agenda on them. That isn't to say he doesn't have his own ideas but he appreciates the fact that the officers of the division need to be empowered and supported in what they want to achieve.
He is genuinely keen on helping the members of the division achieve their potential and that is exactly what we want, we don't want a dictator we want someone who will enable the team to get the work that they want to do done. In Soundwave we have a Commanding Officer who is enthusiastic and has shown a real desire to help the members of Starfleet Operations develop their ideas which is really going to help the experience all our members get and I think he is going to be a great person for everyone involved in Starfleet Operations to work with.

Thank you!
Some kinds words there from SFHQ, making me blush!
That is a great thing. Blushing is an emotional reaction, a human reaction... which I approve of.
But most important of all, Congratulations Soundwave! This is well deserved. And a congratulations for you as well Dodger!
I'm looking forward to working with both of you.
