Basic Questions & Story
What do you think is the job of a Commander? The Captain is a role with ultimate authority that settles disputes and organizes the ship's personal for a singular objective and lets the staff below him in the command chain thrive on that objective and micromanage the smaller aspects of the ship's personal below them and allows the base of which roleplay is founded on.
Why do you want to be a Commanding Officer? As a position as a Senior moderator and a Previous CO whitelist obtainer. I Would like to have the ability to take command as a CO in low pop rounds not as a Pvt ++ CO. From my experience Captains are more listened to then a SEA with no people on with the rank LT and above.

Scenarios
When do you believe a Battlefield Execution should be used? I view Battlefield Execution as a way to remove someone who has no regard for orders to the extent that they are either slowing progress on the operation or putting the whole operation at risk of immanent Failure The difference between both the execution mechanic and regular is the Battle execution is non-formal and used if only if there is a threat to the operation or other lives and is extra-jurisdictional and fast, skipping all the administrative actions, while the other is formal for people who are not at risk of ending lives are the operation.
Under what circumstances do you believe it is legal to pardon a prisoner? It is legal to pardon major and minor crimes but I would refrain on doing them to often without perfect valid reason.
