The Assign Commander order is used to relocate your Legendary Characters. If a Legendary Character is assigned to an Army, there is a chance that the Character will perish as Divisions are lost in combat. If assigned to a Fleet, the Character stands a chance of dying as ships are destroyed in combat. When using this order, the Target of the order must be located wherever the Character is currently stationed. New Characters begin play at one of the worlds under your control. Such a Character could then be moved elsewhere by sending a Fleet to his location, using this order to load the Character onto the Fleet, and then moving the Fleet off.
AC, Legendary Character #, Target Type, Target #, Orbital Location
Legendary Character #: The ID # of the Legendary Character you want to reassign
Target Type: Army, Fleet, World
Target #: If Target Type is “Army” or “Fleet”, then Target # is the ID # of the Army or Fleet
System Name: The name of the star system where you wanted the Legendary Character assigned.
Orbital Location: If Target Type is “World”, then Orbital Location is used to distinguish between planets and moons.
AC, 5, Army, 12, 0, 0
Assigns Legendary Character # 5 to Army # 12. Character # 5 must currently be stationed at whatever world Army # 12 happens to be based, another Army on that world, or on a Fleet in orbit over that world.
AC, 1, World, 0, Alaska, 2a
Assigns Legendary Character # 1 to a Alaska - 2a. In this case, “2a” designates a moon (because of the “a”). Legendary Character # 1 must currently be located on a Fleet orbiting a moon designated as “2a”, or in an Army already on that moon. If the current location of the Legendary Character is not on an Army already at Alaska – 2a, or over Alaska – 2a in a Fleet, the AC order will fail.
