Yes, you've guessed it, Major General Archer is retiring from active service.

Most of you will know about my close association with Admiral Schnapps of the Navy (*s*), and for the same reasons that she stated, I find myself unable to devote enough time to the Vast Empire.

From my beginnings as Commander of Dragon Detachment, to my long period as the Commander of Troop Management, I have always attempted to serve the Army to the best of my abilities. It now seems that the best way for me to serve the Army is by stepping aside for another officer to take my place.

I will be reminaing in the Army as an advisor to the one and only Sparklescus, and will, hopefully, be helping to choose my successor as XO.

That is all. Long live the Empire!
