Ranks and grades

The complete Navy and MACO rank ladders, redesigned from the published rank page and aligned with FMS rank doctrine.

Rank is not a billet

A billet is an assigned duty with a defined scope of authority. Rank or grade reflects seniority and progression. Clearance controls access to protected information. Keeping those concepts separate makes StarFleet easier to govern and safer to administer.

FMS reference: KA-0006, Rank Structure & Promotion Criteria (published).
