“We are met this morning to pay special honor to two of our own. Never has any officer of the Imperial Navy achieved such success in so short a time. It is therefore with great pleasure that this board confers upon Commander Thrawn the rank of Commodore. Congratulations, Commodore Thrawn."

"It is also an honor and a privilege for this board to rectify a situation that has too long been allowed to stand. It is therefore with equal pleasure that we confer upon Ensign Eli Vanto the rank of Lieutenant Commander.”

“Congratulations, Lieutenant Commander Vanto.”
