INTRODUCTION

  This section is dedicated to the system of the military insignias of the Galactic Empire. The ranks of commissioned officers are divided into seven groups and represent seven authority levels. The order of ranks cannot be reversed at any point, because the sequence of seniority is implicit in the terminology itself. The comparative authority of the Imperial ranks is represented in the Ranks Comparative Chart below.

  While one rank can be represented by many styles the difference is purely aesthetical. The different aesthetics reflect changes of insignia system at particular time in the history of the Empire or depend on the regulations of the various regional or central units. Links to detailed information on the ranks of all the Order's divisions are available at the bottom of this section's page.
