Revision as of 20:24, 22 October 2020

Although a Member's overall status within the Fleet will be entirely determined by position, the following military ranks are presented to further stratify the Emperor's Hammer and give something for members to strive to attain. The position of a member will always take precedence over conflicting ranks (i.e. a Flight Leader who is a Lieutenant Colonel (LC) DOES NOT outrank a Squadron Commander who is a Captain...although this rarely occurs). The primary use of the ranks will be to determine minimum standards for the various positions.

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.

Current (effective 2006)

In 2006, the images used for the rank panels were updated to be more consistent and to be part of a larger EH-wide system. The system was primarily designed by the Fleet Commander and the images created by Zeth Durron.
