Also, I doubt the Concordia was the flag ship for the whole Confederation Navy, perhaps only the fleet led by Tolwyn. And was Tolwyn really a Vice Admiral at this time? I recall him being as such in The Secret Missions manuals, but was he also a Rear Admiral at some point since then? - Wedge | |||
: IIRC, the ''Concordia'' was the flagship of the 14th Fleet (which is where the yellow star emblem on her hull comes from). ''Fleet Action'' establishes Tolwyn as a Rear Admiral.
