[QUOTE]Originally posted by FawnDoo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Kazeite: [qb](My theory is that he was busy getting on the first name basis with as many admirals as he could :D )[/qb][/QUOTE]Picard did seem to be on friendly terms with a lot of the brass, didn't he? :-) Perhaps he got a staff assignment at Starfleet Headquarters for a while after the [i]Stargazer[/i] incident. I mean, even though he was cleared of any wrongdoing the fact remains he was court-martialed for loss of a ship: that might have counted against him for a while in terms of commands being assigned. It is quite a meteoric rise though...from captain of a rather undistinguished old ship to commanding the biggest, best and most celebrated ship in the Federation. If the encyclopedia is right and there is an 8 year gap and if he didn't have another ship in the meantime, he's got to have done [i]something[/i] to get his name noticed. After all Starfleet is a very competitive environment: Hansen was worried that Riker was going to look like he was standing still in BoBW and wanted Picard to kick him into a captain's chair before he was overtaken by the next generation of command-level officers coming up the ranks. No reason why that wouldn't have been the same in Picard's pre-[i]Enterprise[/i] days. [/QB][/QUOTE]
