Ranks

Within the Emperor's Hammer, ranks are used to recognize a member's achievements over a period of time, as well as to recognize a member's elevation to certain leadership positions.

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 TIE Corps 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 their current position does not warrant a promotion to that rank.

Flag ranks may not be held in line positions (i.e., FM, FL, SQXO, 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.

The following chart displays ranks used within the Emperor's Hammer. It depicts the general equivalence of ranks based on experience and typical level of duties and responsibilities. Because advancement requirements and duties/responsibilities within individual subgroups vary, there is no direct 1-to-1 equivalence for ranks across subgroups. A member's position always determines relative scope of authority and seniority.
