Roster images
Hi there! I saw the Apollo is using the roster image style templates and manifests. Yay! If you could, in the future please add the category Category:Roster images to the new files so they are automatically added to the library of roster images and use the naming convention of "Roster-surname.jpg" (surname in lowercase or full name in lower case if surname is already taken) to make things easier to find if people transfer between ships that use this style of templates.

I've converted your crew nav to a new "Easy Template" version. Full instructions are available here: Template:Crew.
Among the New Features:
Simplified format to add officers
No more messy code! Makes it easier to edit position names and preview them to see if they fit correctly!
{{Tile|FIRST NAME|Last Name|UNIFORM COLOR|CURRENT POST|Roster Image}}
For example, just add:
{{Tile|Andrus|Jaxx|Red|Commanding Officer|JaxxSmall.jpg}}
to get the next officer's tile added to the nav.
| Commanding Officer Andrus Jaxx |
|---|
Automatic placement of blank portrait
Places the blank portrait roster image if no roster image specified. Example:
{{Tile|M'Wash||Blue|Science Officer}}
| Science Officer M'Wash |
|---|
Automatic resize of roster image
If an officer's roster image is too large for the nav, it will automatically crop and resize it to fit. Note that while this is a handy feature, it may not produce as nice an image as a properly prepared roster image.
| Commanding Officer Andrus Jaxx |
|---|
Support for Nicknames/Abbreviations
If an officer's name is too long for the nav. Example:
{{Tile|Cassandra|Egan Manno|NICKNAME=C. Egan Manno|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-eganmanno.jpg}}
| Commanding Officer C. Egan Manno |
|---|
Simplified color names
Red, Gold, Blue, Teal, Violet, Black, Silver, Green
No need to change colspan
Table automatically keeps header and footer centered.
Ship placeholder image
Can be easily specified if there is an odd number of officers.

IMPORTANT NOTE
If an officer only has a single name, be sure to still put an extra "pipe" character | after their name.
{{Tile|T'Mar||Gold|Chief of Security|TMarSmall.jpg}}
| Chief of Security T'Mar |
|---|
