The chain of command of the Silver Jedi military is broken down into three areas: army, navy and starfighter corps. All three branches ultimately report to the Supreme Commander and the Silver Jedi Council, and also promotions are awarded based on IC merit and activity. In addition, the topmost two ranks in each branch are restricted as they pertain to the control of entire key systems' and even sectors', worth of forces.
Sector Marshal: Typically commands all ground forces within 1-6 contiguous hexes, depending on the number of systems in a hex and the troop strength in the systems under a Sector Marshal's jurisdiction
System General: Commands all ground forces within a system if more than one corps is stationed in a system
Lieutenant General: Commands a corps, the highest level of command with a standard, definite strength, typically ~20-25,000 troops
Major General: Commands a division, typically ~6-8,000 troops
Brigadier General: Commands a brigade, typically ~2-4,000 troops
Colonel: Commands a regiment, typically ~1,000 troops
Major: Commands a battalion, typically ~300 troops
Captain: Commands a company, typically ~100 troops. Note: A squadron of ground vehicles, in the Factory sense, will often be a company-level unit.
Lieutenant: Commands a platoon, typically ~30 troops
Sergeant: Commands a squad, typically ~6-8 troops
Private: The lowermost rank
Grand Admiral: Typically commands all naval forces within 1-6 contiguous hexes, depending on the number of systems in a hex and the naval strength in the systems under a Grand Admiral's jurisdiction
Fleet Admiral: Commands all naval forces in a system if more than one battlegroup is stationed in a system
Admiral: Commands a battlegroup (typically taken to be in the 7-20km range)
Commodore: Commands a squadron (typically taken to be in the 3-7km range), a junior commodore can also command a battlecruiser
Captain: Typically commands a destroyer or a line of smaller ships whose total meterage does not exceed 3 km
Commander: Typically commands a cruiser or frigate, and possibly a line of smaller ships whose total meterage does not exceed 1 km
Lieutenant commander: Typically commands a corvette

Ensign: A junior officer rank

Lieutenant General: Commands a corps, made up of 4 divisions; however, corps are typically attached to battlegroups or planets
Major General: Commands a division, made up of 3 wings.
Brigadier General: Commands a wing, made up of 6 squadrons
Colonel: Commands a group, made up of 2 squadrons
Major: Commands a squadron. Note: a major will command the number of craft listed for a given craft in its Factory sub; typically a squadron will be issued fighters of the same model across all member pilots
