Academy Admiralty: Naming their highest ranks

Preceptor Militant; while Spear of Isyander is cool, the Academy is less about him and more about the Lost.

"Instructor of the Fleets" makes most sense for the academy.

As Lysander say he seek "Justice" in cinematics, Apostle of justice seem the best.

Who the hell votes for Spear of Isyander, it sounds like a dick.

Spear of Isyander sounds fitting. 

Spear of Isyander sounds like a flagship, whereas the Preceptor Militant sounds like a rank.

Thus I've casted my vote.

"Spear of Isyander" sounds too personalistic. "Preceptor Militant" sounds baroque and intriguing. So Preceptor Militant it is.

'Preceptor Militant' sounds like something out of Warhammer 40K, and 'Spear of Isyander' is too personal. Lordship is also kind of far from the academy's theme, and 'Instructor of the Fleets' should be the guy teaching space-combat at the academy, not roaming around fighting. Since the Academy is almost like Isyander's own church, I say Apostle of Justice works the best.

Oof.  I'm kinda between preceptor militant and instructor of the fleets.  Lord of retribution sounds a bit too religious, even for a Vodyani defector.  Spear of Lysander sounds too egomaniacal.  Apostle of Justice has merit, but...I dunno.

Just think what shortened epithet he'd often hear in quick situations.

"Preceptor!"

or

"Instructor!"

Which of those would feel right?  On the one hand, "instructor" makes me think he'll turn around and go "no, you cannot have an extension on your thesis deadline."  On the other hand, preceptor triggers a little memory in my brain that goes "Cursory evaluation of Decepticon capabilities indicates a distinct tactical deficiency!"

I'm not sure which one makes me giggle more or groan less.

Glad the one I picked is winning :D

Apostle seems too similar to Vodyani.

Spear of Is... why a spear? They basically sit in the academy all day.

Instructor of the fleets,thought the academy only instructed heroes, not really fleets.

Going spear here, Lysander seems to have a bit of an ego thing going along his goal; so i think it fits.

I vote for Muatra I mean, Preceptor Militant. That, or Instructor of the Fleets, seems like the most fitting title for the Academy's primary admiral.

Spear of Isyander should definitely be the flagship (or, hey, why not make it the name of the admiral's personal ship class?)

Voted. To say I'm good with any of the options.

Instructor of the fleets sounds a bit funny to me, no offense but it makes me think about a Hero trying to teach things to his ships... Spear of Isyander would be better for a flagship IMO, Lord of Retribution is cool but a bit bland to me, and I'm not sure what Preceptor Militant is supposed to mean, so I'm going for Apostle of Justice. Apostle is indeed a religious term, but it also means "messenger", and since Isyander is trying to spread his message all over the galaxy, i think it'd fit an Academy admiral pretty good. As for justice, well... that's kinda the base of the Academy, y'know, the whole "justice for the Lost" thing, so it makes sense.

Spear of Isyander will lead the fleets as they pierce enemy formations and crush all who stand between the academy and its goals

hey thats pretty gooood

1st time I find a vote open.
