Auger (AUG): The rank of Auger is the lowest rank that one holds as an
officer of the Imperial Directorate. Upon completion of academic requirements, a cadet is promoted to Auger and placed as a Councilor on a planet in the
Territories.
Censor (CEN): A Censor is the rank given to an excellent Councilor.
It is an intermediary rank in reaching Planetary Governor.
Magistrate (MAG): The rank of Magistrate is afforded to a Planetary Governor
upon appoint. It is the rank that Councilors strive to obtain after excellent service as well as their highest rank.
Magister (MGR): A Magister is the entrance rank for a System Moff. It is the
intermediary rank for a Planetary Governor. It is rarely given to anyone below a Planetary Governor, but there is always a possibility that an extremely
good Councilor deserves this rank.
Magister Equitum (MEQ): The rank of Magister Equitum is the entrance rank
for a High Moff. A Planetary Governor who has served his planet for an extraordinary long and dedicated time can achieve this rank, maximum for the
Planetary Governor position. A System Moff who has done excellent work will also be afforded this rank. For many, the Magister Equitum rank is the highest
they will obtain.
Equite (EQU): This is the lowest rank a Ministry Council member can hold,
which normally they do not hold for extreme periods of time. Only the most exceptional System Moffs can obtain this rank as well as an excellent High Moff.
Legatus (LEG): This rank is given to Ministers who have excelled in their
position for a period of time and continue to faithfully serve the Imperial Directorate. The rank of Legatus is given to exceptional High Moffs, who have served for long periods of time with great dedication. In rare cases, a System Moff may also achieve this coveted rank.
Praefectus (PRF): This rank is given to those Ministry Council members who
have continued to serve in their position for prolonged periods of time and have transformed their work for the good of the Imperial Directorate. This is
the highest rank among governors, awarded to only the utmost High Moff in the rarest cases.

Lieutenant (LT): After exceptional achievement in battle, an officer may be awarded promotion to Lieutenant. A Lieutenant is the first rank that holds envy, as well as qualifying an officer to command either a Carrack-Class Light Cruiser or a Dreadnaught (based on availability and System/Sector needs).
Lieutenant Commander (LCDR): A Lt. Commander may command a Frigate, Dreadnaught, or Carrack-Class Light Cruiser. This rank is highly respected and the beginning of the path to a greater career as a command officer in the Imperial Navy.
Commander (CDR): A Commander may command Victory-Class Star Destroyers, Frigates, Dreadnaughts, or Carrack-Class Light Cruisers. Officers of this rank have shown high dedication to the Imperial Directorate and the Imperial Navy.
Captain (CPT): The rank of Captain is the most envied in the fleet. A line officer holding the rank of Captain may command any class of ship, and holds great sway with a System and/or Sector Commander. The rank of Captain is also the minimum rank for the position of System Commander and is granted upon appointment to the position. An officer of this rank has shown extreme dedication to the Imperial Directorate and the Imperial Navy.
Commodore (COM): This is the entrance rank for a Sector Commander. An exceptional System Commander may be awarded this rank.
Rear Admiral (RA): This rank is usually held by a Sector Commander who has exceeded expectations. It is also the entrance rank for the Minister of Defense, and the highest rank attainable by a System Commander.

Admiral (AD): This is the second highest rank given within the Imperial Navy and the highest rank that is most likely to be obtained. The rank of Admiral is given to a Minister of Defense after excellent dedicated service.
Fleet Admiral (FA): While the highest rank of the Imperial Navy it is considered to be virtually unattainable except in rare cases when the Minister of Defense has served in his capacity for a great span of time and with extreme dedication and effort toward the Imperial Directorate. In all Navy matters, this rank holds the leeway as the rank of Immunis holds Directorate-wide.
Primus (PRI): The rank of Primus is the coveted rank of a Ministry Council
member. A Primus has served the Imperial Directorate greatly and has expanded upon his or her position over extended periods of time. This rank is reserved
for Ministry Council members only.
Tribunus (TRI): The Tribunus rank is most likely the highest rank a
Ministry Council member will attain. This rank is only for those who have served in a variety of positions within the Ministry Council. It brings about
great leeway and authority in all matters pertaining to the Directorate and the officer who bears this rank is the model officer of the Directorate.
Immunis (IMS): This rank is the rarest rank and reserved only for the
greatest Ministry Council member. An member who holds this rank is considered a confidant in the most pertinent matters of the Imperial Directorate and is
most likely extremely close to the Grand Moff. A member who attains this rank may possess it for their entire career thereafter.
Imperator (IMP): Upon attaining the position of Grand Moff, this rank is
awarded to the new Grand Moff. Just as Immunis, after leaving the position of Grand Moff this officer may continue to possess it, in respect for his or
her work as Grand Moff.Revisions and changes by IMP Orzon and TRI Wil Striker.
