GM notes: These ranks, order or insignia, may not be 100% correct.  After consulting several references, including Star Wars, British and American army and naval structures, this was the closest I could get.

The Warriors of Gar do not run an Imperial Campaign, but these ranks are presented in the same manner as the Rebel Alliance Ranks for those of you who do and would like to take advantage of my ranking system.

It should be noted that as a rule Rebel Officer of an equal rank to their Imperial counterpart will no doubt have better skill.  Rank is no not always earned within the Empire.  Trickery and blackmail are a way of life for Imperial Officers leading to some officers not having the skill that their position demands.  It should also be noted that field promotions are another way that rank can be gained with the Empire.  Captain Piett is granted the rank of Admiral after Lord Vader executes Admiral Ozzel for his failings.  Admiral Ozzel himself is an example of an officer unfit for the position he held.  Lord Vader was in charge of the Executor Fleet, but an admiral was needed to keep face with Imperial Military, so Ozzel was appointed merely as 'window dressing'.  The Emperor knew that Ozzel was too weak to oppose any order Lord Vader would give, and Ozzel was, as he proved, disposable.
