[Star Wars] Darth Vader just killed my Admiral and promoted me in his place. Will there be an announcement to the crew? Does Vader fill out the paperwork, or do I need to go to HR? When do I get my new rank rectangles (ranktangles)? He seemed pretty busy and I didn't want to bug him with logistics.

What you have is effectively a field promotion, doubtlessly witnessed by at least one other person to verify authenticity. Field promotions are necessitated by a sudden vacuum in a critical leadership position, such as the loss of an admiral. However, while field promotions are binding, they are not necessarily permanent. Once you are back under the auspices of the full command structure you will submit a detailed report to the Admiral's CO, or to the Admiralty if there is no direct CO. You will include who gave the field promotion, the circumstances behind it, and name witnesses. This will come along with the other reports expected of an Admiral. It will be up to the chain of command to decide if it is a permanent promotion.
