I just had a cog slip in my brain and wrote an article for my notes about the Imperial Navy and its "pretty officers".

I mean, not that they don't *have* those, but still...

@cerebrate Honestly I’d sooner expect the Eldrae’s navies to have those than “petty” officers.

@cerebrate yeah, but I’m saying that with their cultural view of pride and hierarchy they wouldn’t be called something so demeaning as “petty officers.”

I would have suggested “sergeant” but apparently that means “servant.”

Translation artifact. (Inasmuch as there were more important places for me to use up my budget of exotic terms for readers to learn.)
