Unless I remember wrong you can design and hand out medals to the affected officers. These medals can be assigned a promotion score which is counted towards promotion.
New officers with natural leadership talents that steps forward (is created) when the CO dies would indeed be a cool story element!
True on both counts.
Medals exist precisely so you can hand out arbitrary distinguishing characteristics. So you can create a "has killed three guys" medal for every battle, but you can also make a "served with distinction in the battle at kitomer" medal.
I was originally sucked into aurora when I saw the versatility of the medal/officer system.
