What was the name of the Admiral on the Galatea (Destroyer in FS1)?

[Vidmaster]

that one who "died with the ship he loved ?"
the name is mentioned in the mission where the galatea blows up but I dont have a savegame for that at the moment

how did that trick with the mission simulator work ?

[Shade]

Wolf.

[Kie99]

Admiral Wolf IIRC.

[Jake2447]

Thanks.  In case you were wondering, I am going to name a ship after him (like the U.S. does).

[Colonol Dekker]

I thought they did Presidents?

Anyhoo, Admiral Wolf was the dude, almost as tough as colonol Halcyon.....

[Jake2447]

They do both (USS Kennedy, USS Nimitz), although most are presidents.

[Frosty]

Never understood why he had to stay on the ship, he had plenty of time to evacuate.

He may have had a broken leg or been injured or something like that.

[TrashMan]

A capt'n goes down wit da ship!

[Mars]

Cause only 100 people could evacuate on 5 escape pods?

[Mobius]

Are you aware of the fact that the GTA(and the Terrans of the GTVA)represents the whole human population(habits included)? Terran ships are usually named after ancient cities, regions, mythological entities. In the future, expecially in the GTVA(since all contacts with Sol are severed), the need of giving most ships names that are a clear reference to Earth will be strong.

In his defense it makes complete sense to name a ship after a highly decorated officer. I can see the GTD Petrarch running around somewhere in the future.

No matter of what Admiral Petrarch did, all humans cut off from Sol will continue to remember their ancestors. Ships named after Reconstruction and Capella era officers will be rare.

[colecampbell666]

Petrarch was really just another admiral. Many others were probably greater, with greater accomplishments than him. The only reason you think of him is because you were stationed on his ship.

[Hades]

Yes like the Admiral of the Colossus.

[colecampbell666]

He was a retard.

[Hades]

Idiot.Just becasue he sacrificed his and of other lives to save the GTVA you call him a retard.Idiot.

Actually, the GTD Wolf will be featured in a campaign in which Sol has been reunited with the GTVA.  Also in this campaign, because of another rebellion the GTVA has taken a propaganda mindset, and reminding its people of recent war heroes is an important feature in their propaganda effort.

As a matter of fact, I was considering the GTD Petrarch, but I would agree that he would not be as much of a hero as someone who gave their life.

[Polpolion]

Yes like the Admiral of the Colossus.

IIRC he was either captain or commander.

And cole, seeing as how he was made the CO of the largest terran vasuden craft ever, it's safe to say that he was a lot smarter than you. If you deny it, go and take up a carrier command.
