Anita Lopez is an Admiral during Apotheosis and Chrysalis, but by Tenebra she's dropped to Rear Admiral.

Why? Did she get demoted?

EDIT: Title changed because I actually didn't spoil much of anything.

Trying hard to avoid a mysoginistic bad taste joke about the rank of Lopez...

I don't think the Federation Fleet Admirals are consistently referred to as Fleet Admirals either but they're definitely Fleet Admirals anyway

So was she actually demoted, or did she always have that rank?

[Darius]

Rear Admirals are still admirals. No discrimination in the GTVA.

[Apollo]

Her bio specifically called her an Admiral, not a Rear Admiral or a Vice Admiral.

[General Battuta]

All the other bios specifically call them Admirals too

[General Battuta]

(even though many of them are Fleet Admirals)

[Klaustrophobia]

All Fleet/Rear Admirals are Admirals.  Not all Admirals are Fleet/Rear Admirals.

[Apollo]

Interesting. I'd always assumed they would take "Rear" and "Vice" into consideration, since they confer lower rank.

[General Battuta]

And 'Fleet' confers higher rank, what's your point

My obsessive self finds it mildly irritating that a bio written by military intelligence people wouldn't bother to specify an officer's exact rank.

My obsessive self finds it mildly irritating that a bio written by military intelligence people wouldn't bother to specify an officer's exact rank.

When I was in the military, I was told that anyone whose rank has "General" in it should be addressed as "General", unless the distinction is really important. It's a military etiquette thing.

Same goes for naval service ... everyone with "Captain" in their rank is a "Captain" when adressed, every member of an Admirality is an Admiral, regardless of the pre-fix to rank
(my instructors had a very vulgar way explaining that to us )

But they still have distinct ranks, even if they're addressed the same way.

in the spirit of NITPICKING DAY!, there aren't multiple ranks of captain in the (US) navy.  However, one may be the Commanding Officer (aka Captain) of a boat or ship without actually holding the rank of Captain.
