______________________
Military ranks Various ranks in county militia, state militia, country forces, and planetary armies/fleets. Planetary/Imperial forces have better weaponry than militia and country forces.
Command and rank is assigned according to command size. A county militia would have a Major as commander, and a state militia would be headed by a Colonel. Country forces would be up to the rank of Master(Admiral and General combined)
Grand Warmaster- Commander of the entire army.
Warmaster- Commander of a planetary force, after the Lord Castellan.
Master- Leader of an army and fleet.
Knight Master- Deputy to a Master, can be either plural or singular.
Knight Commander- Leader of a force, lowest Master rank.
Colonel/Commodore- Leader of either a brigade,state militia, or group of ships.
Lieutenant Colonel/Commander-Leader of a battalion or large capital warship.
Major/Lieutenant Commander- Leader of a company, state militia, smaller capital warship/fighter wing leader.
Captain- Leader of either a platoon, greater support ship, lesser warship/fighter squadron leader
Lieutenant- Deputy to a Captain, or leader of a small/minor support ship.
And the enlisted ranks stand below that.
The governmental command ranks are in charge of the military under their sphere of power, and the civil administration handles the rest of government.
