Proposal: Ragamuffin

Remove the following text from rule 26 "Uniforms":

If a Crewmember has a lower Rank than another Crewmember in the same Service Group they are a Subordinate of that Crewmember with higher authority, who is their Superior.

If an Crewmember's Grade would be lowered below 0, their Officer Rank is removed and their Grade becomes 9. If they were not an Officer, then they are removed from their Service Group and their Rank and Grade are set to 'X'.

If a Crewmember's Grade would be increased above 9, they become an Officer of Grade 0. If they already had a rank of Officer then they get a Gold Star instead.

If a Service Group has no Crewmembers who are Officers, then the Crewmember with the highest Grade becomes an Officer of Grade 0.

(maybe it's just my browser screwing up but it really looks like there are two copies of that text in the rule. if there is only one copy then do not remove it.)

amend the text in rule 21 "UCSRS" that starts with "UCSRS[2] tracks" to state

UCSRS[2] tracks the Rank a Crewmember holds, which can be either "X", "O", "*" or "@", where O indicates an Officer rank, * indicates an Officer who has a Golden Star, and @ indicates an Officer who has a Galactic Spiral. Crewmembers not belonging to a Service Group must have Rank X.

add the following text to rule 26 "Uniforms":

At any time the Computer may give the Galactic Spiral to an Officer who has a Golden Star. Only one Officer may have the Galactic Spiral at a time. The Officer who holds the Galactic Spiral is superior to all other Crewmembers, regardless of Service Group, rank, or grade.
