Rank Listings

Although a member’s overall status within the Fleet will be entirely determined by their position, the military ranks presented below further stratify the Emperor's Hammer and give something for members to strive for. The position of a member will always take precedence over conflicting ranks (e.g., a Flight Leader who is a Lieutenant Colonel does not outrank a Squadron Commander who is a Captain). A member may retain a rank achieved in a previous assignment to a higher command position even if his current position does not warrant a promotion to that rank.

Admiral ranks may not be held in line positions (i.e., FM, FL, CMDR, and WC). Former admirals that are assigned to line positions will be granted the rank of Colonel regardless of their line rank before assignment to an admiral position as long as they completed a full Tour of Duty in their admiralty role. The exception for this rule is applied to members that achieved the rank of General before the admiralty appointment, in which case they will be returned to the rank of General.
