Would not the next in line automatically get a battlefield commission making them Captain with security clearance, albeit requiring an in depth briefing?
Also, with the Romulan’s catastrophic experience it would seem to be something so dangerous as to exclude any duplicity, as they also keep it top secret and wouldn’t want public knowledge of Omega Particles.
I love that you’re entertaining Berman Era canon. Thank you. 😂
Also…Anyone commanding a ship is a “captain”, regardless of rank, per naval tradition that continued into Starfleet.
It’s so refreshing to hash out scifi canon instead of politics for a change. It feels like a younger, more innocent time for me. 😮💨

Yeah, “Computer, this is acting-Captain Redshirt. What is this?”
Surely, if the Omega directive supercedes the Prime directive then there wouldn’t be anything restricting the computer from briefing a new Captain.
