This system will not only serve as a reference guide, where you - the writer - can easily find where your character sits on the Military’s pecking order, but it also acts as a guideline for newer members to see what rank and responsibilities they’d like to take when starting a new character. Please note, the higher up the command chain you begin, the harder it will be for your character to be promoted in a short period. This not only represents the hardships of authority that command of fighting men and women brings but to balance out the scales of time and effort that one puts into their character - which in turn helps forge our collective narrative.- Torian Pierce, Former First Order Administrator
