Org Structure

Fleet command

The Black Adders are run by the Fleet Commander and Fleet Captain with the support of Commanders and Lords. Who in turn are supported by Lieutenant Commanders and their trusty Butlers.

Fleet Commander “Fl Cdr”

The Fleet Commander is the leader of our org. 

Fleet Captain “Fl Capt”

Ranks

We have the Fleet for those who want to take it a bit more serious by looking to improve as a group and learn to fly/work with other members in a squadron or company.

The Reserves are for those who want to play more casually or are undecided if they want to join a squadron or company.

In Fleet we use military ranks, while Reserves have Black Adder titles.

They decide over the charter that draws out the large goals for our org, but the Fleet Commander and Fleet Captain build the structure to reach those goals. The Board meets quarterly to discuss progress of the org and adjust the charter where needed.

The Admin team looks after most of the administration and promotional side of the org. This includes RSI page, Discord, Website and social media. As well as some of the promotional material as banners, logo and other graphical art for the org.
