Confirmed evidence

The player inherits command in a shattered force. Baxter is a Lieutenant Commander, former lecturer and the stabilizing member who holds the squadron together.

The distinction that matters

Formal mission command and interpersonal experience are separate. A player-issued order does not make Baxter a passive subordinate in the story, and his rank alone does not reveal every chain-of-command scene.

Decision for this scenario

Treat Baxter as the clearest confirmed continuity figure when interpreting briefings and squad reactions, but wait for retail dialogue before describing loyalty outcomes.

What to do

During the retail campaign, record only dialogue and consequences actually seen in a reproducible scene. Keep tactical behavior, personal bond changes and story branches in separate notes so a relationship is not overstated from one line.

What remains unconfirmed

The exact authority transition, disagreement scenes and bond branches remain unannounced.
