He turned to the audience of saluting members of Star Fleet and said, "Members of Star Fleet of the United Federation Of Planets, the military of the Alpha Quadrant holding together the biggest alliance of different planets and species together. Today, I have the immense honor of promoting one of the finest Starfleet officers I've ever met to the rank of Captain.
