An experienced officer knows how to survive mistakes or mitigate the damage.
But having weak officers who cannot do that are ineffective at best and detrimental at the worst when it comes to their duties.

Officers have to learn fast, there are no safe environments and those who cannot adapt quickly are culled quickly. That ensures officers who obtain the ranks of general, admiral, moff, etc are capable and have strong positions that they forged.

[That sounds like a whole lot of bullshit justifying as far as Lance is concerned, and once again he's glad for text because he can go ahead and roll his eyes and feel self-satisfied about it.]

It's entirely possible to end up with experienced, capable generals and other officials without murdering those that are less so.

[Demotion and firing both work.]

Technically, the official policy from the Emperor makes murder illegal but officers still find ways to eliminate each other. And the man who had Maketh killed certainly wasn't going to face any consequences because he had so much favor with the Emperor and High Command.

Accidents happen in training or are just part of life. I can't count how many 'accidents' I managed to avoid over the years.

You're arguing semantics.

[He didn't hear anything in there that actually refutes the point, although some of it is useful for other reasons.]

And you're naive. It's almost cute but it's dangerous in reality.

Report back to me when you speak to Tua. I at least want to know if she's dead.

[He's heard that before, and there's absolutely no way he's reporting back to Hux on anything.]

Sure.

[That's all he bothers with in response, and doesn't mean it in the slightest.]
