Standard policy on the ''Astraeus'' is that you must write full-time for at least one full mission before your character receives her or his next promotion, regardless of what rank you begin at. If you arrive mid-mission, then you want to try and begin simming full-time immediately.
The following are '''the guidelines''' the ''Astraeus'' uses when considering a player for a promotion. These guidelines are in place to make sure all players know some of the minimums the Astraeus Commanding Officer, and the rest of the Command Staff, use when evaluating a player for a promotion. Other things may come into play, such as reliability, attitude, and other less quantitative traits. If you have any questions about the guidelines or your own promotion path please do not hesitate to contact your mentor, the FO, or the Commanding Officer.


Note that being a writer-in-residence aboard the ''Astraeus'' for a "full mission" means that you arrived no more than one week after the beginning of the mission. At the end of missions, the CO will present service ribbons to PCs and specific PNPCs as necessary. However, further PNPC and NPC awards can be given, as appropriate, by those characters' writers. As always, any large-scale changes should be discussed with the command team. Use your best judgment!

===Promotion of Player Characters===
====Ensign to Lieutenant JG ====
Promotions occur after the end of missions. However, the timing of promotions within shore leave may vary: Sometimes promotions occur directly after the mission has ended, and sometimes they occur just before the next mission is set to begin. Your best resource for working toward your next promotion is the fleetwide [[Promotions]] Guide.
* Does the player sim well and in the correct format?
* Have they adapted to their ship?
* Has the player completed a mission, from beginning to end, aboard the Astraeus?
* Reviewed the club's [[Promotions/Lieutenant_(Junior_Grade)|Lieutenant JG]] requirements.
* [[Player_achievements/Tour_of_Duty#Promotion_to_Lieutenant_JG|Promotion to Lieutenant JG Achievements]]


Aboard the Astraeus, the '''[[Player Achievements]]''' system is used as part of the promotion process. Before you are eligible for promotion to the next rank, all "Tour of Duty" achievements at your current rank must be completed.
====Lieutenant JG to Lieutenant ====
* Does the player sim reliably (full time and answer in a way other players can rely on)?
* Does the player work to push the plot forward?
* Does the player work to develop their character?
* Reviewed the club's [[Promotions/Lieutenant|Lieutenant]] requirements.
* [[Player_achievements/Tour_of_Duty#Promotion_to_Lieutenant|Promotion to Lieutenant Achievements]]


{{bluebox|''Keep an open dialogue with your mentor and the command team if you unsure what to do in order to achieve your next promotion!''}}
====Lieutenant to Lt. Commander ====
* Has the player demonstrated a desire to move into a '''command role?'''
* Is the player working to help include other players in character?
* Is the player working to include new players in their sims?
* Has the player demonstrated a willingness to sacrifice their player's self-interest for another character's?
* Has the player inquired or jumped into [[Astraeus Officer's Manual/OCC Activities|OOC activities]] that benefit the ship?
* Reviewed the club's [[Promotions/Lieutenant_Commander|Lt. Commander]] requirements.
* [[Player_achievements/Tour_of_Duty#Promotion_to_Lt._Commander|Promotion to Lt. Commander Achievements]]


===Promotions of NPCs===
====Lt. Commander to Commander====
Technically, only the captain can authorize promotions IC. However, you may want to promote one of your NPCs or PNPCs at some point if you started them at a rank below your own. You are free to create and promote NPCs up to your current rank. For IC "realism," you can tell your NPC/PNPC that your PC is recommending them for promotion (for instance, if your PC is the chief medical officer and your NPC is a nurse in his or her department), but you are free to then show them in a later sim having been promoted "off screen."
The process to move from Lt. Commander to Commander is a fleet-wide process which involves a number of steps, including a practical, written exam, and other requirements. '''If you wish to make this move the first step is to let your Commanding Officer know.'''


{{bluebox|''If you wish to have the actual promotion of your NPC/PNPC simmed, talk with your captain, who will be happy to sim with you to make that happen!''}}
The rank of Commander is one of staff for the group and as such your Commanding Officer will expect to see a history of OOC work on behalf of the ship and group, without those the rank of Commander will be unobtainable. For those serious about the rank of Commander this requirement should not be an issue.
