Season of Plenty

Should the crew of Season of Plenty be added to this category? We list them currently as UNSC Naval personnel, but they served on a CMA-operated ship. Was it ever specified if they were UNSC personnel on loan to the UNSC or anything? If not, I believe the crew should be included in this category. - NightHammer (talk) 21:35, 10 February 2015 (EST)

I agree. It's a CMA ship, I think it's much more reasonable to assume that they are CMA, than UNSC. --Weeping Angel (talk) 00:59, 11 February 2015 (EST)

Depends on the year the ship in question was active. The CMA was an operating authority before the Covenant war. In 2525, the CMA fell under the UNSC and it has remained there ever since. Prior to 2525, the UNSC may have been under or equivalent to the CMA. I agree it's a "little fuzzy on the details". I'll see if it can be cleared up any soon. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 13:49, 11 February 2015 (EST)

The ship was in service with the CMA for some time before the UNSC took over the CMA. So perhaps they should be included in the category? It'd be really cool if we could have an official flowchart (like the one for the Galactic Empire) that organized the UEG, UNSC, and CAA (and their respective departments and ministries) structure. Perhaps one for before, during, and after the Covenant War. - NightHammer (talk) 14:30, 11 February 2015 (EST)

I've been working on a UNSC Organization Chart since 2011. Just off and on now and then as new info comes to light. Printed on a standard piece of paper it's large enough that it's barely legible, so it's fairly intricate. I'm trying for a more simplified one as well. I have passed it to 343i and we've had some back and forth smoothing it out. Not for public consumption yet. My own work is my own but since it has some of their input now I'd need their permission to show anything. If I can help clear anything up I will. The chart has been a big pet project for a while. I'm glad to have had some input with it. It's changed a lot since it started. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 21:49, 11 February 2015 (EST)

Sounds cool. I'd be interested to look at that if you do end up getting 343i's permission. - NightHammer (talk) 22:32, 11 February 2015 (EST)
