The Fleet’s Military Hierarchy<\/strong><\/p>\n

COLONIAL REGULARS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Warriors, Officers and Enlisted Personnel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fleet Commander
\nGroup Commander *
\nCommander
\nColonel
\nLt. Colonel
\nMajor (Group Leader)**
\nCaptain (Squadron Leader)
\nSenior Lieutenant (Flight Lieutenant)
\nLieutenant (Pilot Officer)
\nEnsign (Pilot Ensign)<\/p>\n

Chief Master Sergeant

\nFlight Sergeant (Pilot) or Senior Sergeant (Ground Forces)
\nSergeant
\nFlight Corporal (Pilot) or Senior Corporal (Ground Forces)
\nCorporal
\nPrivate
\nRecruit<\/p>\n

* Group Commander is not a true rank, but rather the title of the Battlestar or warship Commander with the most seniority when two or more Battlestars or warships work together.<\/p>\n

(In the Viper Squadrons there are a number of additional titles and positions)
\n** Group Leader is an administrative position and does not fly combat patrols.<\/p>\n

Technicians<\/p>\n

In the Colonial Military, Technicians are not combat specialists. (Though in the Fleet’s current situation, EVERYBODY is a combat specialist!) The role of Technicians, though they may work along side combat personnel, is to maintain the ship and the support systems.
\nThey are part of the chain of command, do have uniforms, (different from Warriors) and do come in Harm’s Way. They do not carry sidearms, unless special circumstances warrant it, and may not have command roles on the Bridge.<\/p>\n

Technician Ratings and Ranks and Warrior equivalent<\/p>\n

Chief Engineering Officer\/Doctor = Lt Colonel *
\nDoctor (system) Engineer = Major *
\nMaster (system) Engineer = Captain
\nChief (system) Engineer = Senior Lieutenant
\nSenior (system) Engineer = Lieutenant
\n(system) Engineer = Master Sergeant
\nChief (system) Technician = Flight Sergeant
\n(system) Technician I = Flight Corporal
\n(system) Technician II = Corporal
\n(system) Technician III = Private<\/p>\n

(systems) = Life support, Shields, Missiles & Weapons, Power, Sensors & Communications, Viper & Shuttles, Auxiliary Systems<\/p>\n

* There is only one Chief Engineering Officer on a Colonial Warship. On a Battlestar he or she is a Lt Colonel, on a Destroyer a Major, on an Assault Ship or Military Tanker or Support vessel the position is Captain.<\/p>\n

Although most technical personnel are Technicians, not Warriors, some Warriors have technical training. This extra training give these Warriors a slight pay bonus.<\/p>\n

Chief Medical Officer\/Doctor = Major*
\nSenior Doctor = Captain
\nDoctor = Senior Lieutenant

\nMedical Technician II = Corporal
\nMedical Technician III = Private<\/p>\n

* There is only one Chief Medical Officer on a Colonial Warship.<\/p>\n

Although most medical personnel are Technicians, not Warriors, some Warriors are trained as Medics. This extra training give these Warriors a slight pay bonus.<\/p>\n

AUXILIARIES<\/p>\n

The Auxiliaries were created by the Council of Twelve to bring the officers and crews of the civilian ships (of the Fugitive Fleet) under Military control. Further, the Council Security Guard was brought under Military remit and expanded to serve as a civilian Police Force in the Fleet. The Guard still retains its original function of protecting the Council.<\/p>\n

Civilian Research and Development and Specialists<\/p>\n

These are civilian contractors employed by the military for special functions. The ratings are for pay scale more then rank or responsibility.<\/p>\n

Doctor = Major
\nSenior Scientist = Captain
\nScientist = Senior Lieutenant
\nSenior Specialist = Master Sergeant
\nSpecialist = Sergeant
\nSenior Assistant = Corporal
\nAssistant = Private<\/p>\n

Military Pay Scale<\/p>\n

To determine pay for Technicians, Auxiliaries and Contractors; find their equivalent rank or rating as Warriors.<\/p>\n

Specialized training, such as Medic or extra technical skills will give a pay bonus of $25 per Secton.<\/p>\n
