^Now that I'm a civie, I think back to duty sections and shudder.
I hated pre-com for a number of reasons but in particular it was from being previously forward deployed to the Far East with a high op-tempo to sitting in a dimly lit room in a renovated school house writing watch bills and SOPs (YAWN!).
You want to ruin a fighting force? Put them in barracks with nothing to do but push pencils and shuffle paper!

Back to the original topic----
From what I can find there were 3 aspects to Noble Captains plus an historical influence.
During the Reconquista, the aristocracy kept its relative power due to the kings' need to field armies.
In addition, during the Empire era:
1) elevation to nobility could be acheived by successful military prowess; conquering a Mexico or Phillipines, etc.
2) Nobles, by the Spanish sense of honor, were forbidden from 'manual labor' and trade was considered manual labor.
3) By the Napoleanic period, due to high aristocratic priveleges and poor kings, the nobility owned most of the Spanish warships and leased them - with crews - to the King.
My hypothesis is that the late Vilani period had devolved into a similar state. This downgraded the effectiveness of the Vilani fleets and made the Solomani victory inevitable.
Perhaps??
