Earlier Naval Careers

In two recent posts, we listed thirteen Terran Naval careers, plus Edwin Cairncross's five-year hitch, but these all happened during Dominic Flandry's lifetime. Earlier in the Technic History:

John Reeves was a Lieutenant in the Solar Commonwealth Navy but became a Rear Admiral in the Imperial Solar Navy under Manuel I;

Commander Helena Jansky, commanding HM Ganymede during the expedition into the Black Nebula, was accompanied by Basil Donovan, formerly a Captain in the independent Ansan Navy;

Fleet Admiral Juan de Jesus Cajal y Palomares led the Terran fleet against the Domain of Ythri;

Lieutenant (j.g.) Philippe Rochefort captained the Meteor-class ship, Hooting Star, which was crewed by fire control officer, CPO Wa Chaou, and engineer-computerman CPO Abdullah Helu;

Ferune, Wyvan of Mistwood Choth and First Marchwarden of the Lauran System, commanded the fleet defending Avalon.

Kaor, Paul!

In "The Game of Glory," we see Inyanduma III, Commander of Jairnovant on the planet Nyanza, telling Flandry that he had served in the Terran space Navy in his youth, and still held a reserve commission. Another addition to your list of Naval officers.

Ad astra! Sean
