In an interesting move NS Commander Knobhead has named Director of Technology Sea Urchin the Deputy NS Commander. The position was held by Torus until her suspension. Sea Urchin has not been named Acting Deputy which means its likely Torus will not get the role back even if given a clean bill of health.
Deputy Commander is fairly prestigious though is largely ceremonial, as even if Knobhead was killed or incapacitated it would not be necessarily the Deputy who took over however it is an important symbol. A sign Knobhead wants to reduce Torus' influence in New Sparta.
