A War for the Stars

And now the starfighter ranks.

Imperial Starfighter Force Ranks

Unit - Commander rank - # Craft - Army equivalent rank
Starfighter Force - Commodore - (4 Groups) - Brigadier-General
Group - Group Captain - (4 wings) - Colonel
Wing - Wing Commander - 72 - Lieutenant Colonel
Squadron - Squadron Leader - 12 - Major
Flight - Flight Lieutenant - 4 - Captain
Element* - Flying Officer - 2 - First Lieutenant
Single* - Pilot Officer - 1 - Second Lieutenant

* - The flight is the smallest official unit in the Imperial command structure. Elements and single craft may operate independently depending on their mission.

Starfighter organization is quite flexible. In practice, the upper echelons are organized according to the needs of the sector armed forces, which means they rarely have the theoretical sizes given here.

You may get the Navy Ranks directly from the SWTC site (in the story it will usually be obvious how many ships a naval officer commands). I won't post a list of ISB ranks unless I absolutely have to.

Admiral Wiers' private log, SGY 2403.8:

The Andarr were quite willing to re-establish their treaty with us. We must now watch the Hutt for signs of unrest.

Seeker I entered the Prazhi system; this is another system we can exploit, with one fully and six partially colonizable planets. Captain Veren will re-enter the Gesaril system and proceed towards the Last unexplored hyperconduit, which may lead to the Yakrin systems.

Fyrine I's trip to Virgillia V was interrupted and she was redirected to Gesaril IX, where the Army's First Planetary Assault Regiment will be built; they should be ready for action in three tenths. On Gesaril II, the first two squadrons of the First Carrier Starfighter Wing have been raised; these two TIE fighter squadrons will operate from Black Sword I.

A few more tenths and we will have a small but adequate invasion task group - one carrier, one transport and Seeker I. I hope the Yakrin come up with no surprises in the meantime.

You're welcome. But I won't be writing quite as fast now. The game situation is becoming more complex and I have to make some story-related decisions which I have been putting off for some time.

It's good, i can't wait until combat happens, i'm looking forward to the battles. I don't think the Hutts have a chance against imperial tie fighters!
