While the person holding the rank might have little leadership experience, they still have authority over the most senior enlisted- if a Cadet tries to bully his Senior Non-Commission officers, they'll typically lose the support of the junior enlisted personnel, so it is best to keep in mind to learn from the people who you will be leading.

The rank of Master Petty Officer, or the pay grade of E-7, in the United Outer Colonies Peacekeeping Forces is the high enlisted rank. As the highest ranking non-commissioned officers, they tend to be more actively involved with running a ship on a departmental or squadron level. They directly interact with the enlisted personnel and the authority of their position could be said to rival that of a cadet because they bridge the gap between the enlisted and the officers. They tend to have the most field experience of the enlisted ranks and many MPOs chose to remain so rather than try to go for a commissioned rank of officer. A very popular comment from an MPO is, “Don't call me, 'sir'- I work for a living. It's Master Petty Officer.”
