Rebel Alliance Ranks

Background

This rank structure is very loosely based on the rank structure used by the United States Armed Forces, though many liberties have been taken and the structure has been simplified somewhat. Wookiepedia has some information about the assumed-canonical rank structure of the Alliance, but as this structure is incompletely documented and inconsistently applied (even within the movies), I have thrown it out for the purposes of my campaigns.

Enlisted Personnel

Grade	Rebel Army	Rebel Navy
1	Private	Recruit
2	Private Second Class	Apprentice
3	Private First Class	Deckman
4	Specialist	Specialist

Non-Commissioned Officers

Grade	Rebel Army	Rebel Navy

6	Sergeant	Petty Officer Second Class

8	Sergeant First Class	Chief Petty Officer
9	Master Sergeant1	Senior Chief Petty Officer
10	Sergeant Major2	Master Chief Petty Officer

Warrant officers follow a separate but parallel command path to non-commissioned officers. Warrant officers serve as technical experts, combat leaders, trainers, advisors, and analysts supporting various combat groups.
