In episode 10 Cam commented that she is Alliance instead of EDF would they keep the Alliance name instead of EDF and change the ship ID from EDF Aurora to ANS Aurora ? Comments welcome and anyone else got a name for the Alliance ships and personnel?
I think this is the way they are going to get around the EDF personnel issue. There are others out there that would out rank Nathan, and some that would want to take his ship. Ultimately, it is the alliance personnel that is going to keep Nathan and Cam in the captain's chair.
So, I think that since EDF has been pretty much destroyed, they are going to change the Aurora and Celestia to Alliance ships.
Wouldn't they have to come up with a whole new uniform and patch for the alliance ? Also who would out rank Nathan besides his father and wouldn't cam get the captains insignia and how would they call the celestia and aurora since they are alliance and not EDF ?
The names would probably stay the same. Over com's they would probably state something like "This is the Alliance ship Aurora" or something another. For starters, there are probably a few captains that made it, not to mention the general who got captured. There is also the fact that the EDF is controlled by the government of Earth, which isn't a bad thing. Earth just does not have the resources to maintain/build a space fleet for the next few years at least, while the Alliance member worlds do.
I think of it like NATO in that you have EDF personel and even entire vessels assigned to Alliance command but they maintain their National uniforms except maybe literally a new hat.
When I was in the service I was assigned to an American base and Command. Had a classmate get orders to the same base but a NATO command. Difference was he had a keg in his lounge for when they were off duty.
Also had a Canadian officer dress down a US service member for failing to address him in the proper manner, properly so.
