started - 11.15.2007 last updated - 12.27.2007 This file adapts, for use in RolePlay, the ranks of the Galactic Command Alliance from the Battlecruiser and Universal Combat series' of 3000AD games. It is intended to be compatible with, but does not draw upon, the SinglePlay and MultiPlay rank structure of the forthcoming Galactic Command game series. Supreme Commander Tacops Commander Strategic Commander Fleet Commander Commander Lieutenant Commander Major Lieutenant Ensign Command Sergeant Sergeant Corporal Lance Corporal Private Rank name Command Position or Staff Position (or commands this asset class) as First Officer as Second Officer as Senior Bridge Officer as Junior Bridge Officer Supreme Commander Alliance Leader Not Applicable Tacops Commander First Assistant Alliance Leader Strategic Commander Fleet Leader Secondary Assistant Alliance Leader Fleet Commander Wing Leader Assistant Fleet Leader Commander Super or Heavy Carrier Assistant Wing Leader Lieutenant Commander BCM or UC Cruiser or Armed Transport Super or Heavy Carrier Major Unarmed Transport BCM or UC Cruiser or Armed Transport Super or Heavy Carrier Lieutenant Unarmed Transport BCM or UC Cruiser or Armed Transport Super or Heavy Carrier Ensign Graduated from Flight School, lowest Pilot rank Unarmed Transport BCM or UC Cruiser or Armed Transport Command Sergeant Commands 30 to 50 personnel (lowest applicable staff position for a capital craft) Unarmed Transport Sergeant Command less than 30 Personnel Corporal Commands less than 15 personnel Lance Corporal Commands up to 6 personnel Private unarmedTransport BCMheavyCruiser BCMsuperCruiser BCMarmedTransport UCheavyCruiser UCsuperCruiser UCarmedTransport heavyCarrier superCarrier Each crew member is listed below with the minimum rank required for his position. However, the Chief Engineer does not necessarily need to be the First Officer, nor the Flight Officer the Second Officer, etc. The decision for what officer position holds which rank is up to the Player. To keep it simple, I list bridge officers from highest to lowest rank with the positions ordered as they would be in the game's Personnel Scanner Computer.

These figures are comparable to the personnel numbers given by DeSylva in his October 3010 timeline entry. Planetary Capital Craft: Naval Destroyer: 52 personnel - similar crew configuration to UC armed transport, but crew positions are adaptable to naval circumstances Naval Cruiser: 67 personnel - similar crew config as heavy carrier, adaptable Naval Assault: 117 personnel - like super carrier, adaptable Naval Carrier: 250 personnel - similar crew configuration to Sphinx-class BC; the Commander rank may command this craft Osprey Sub: 67 personnel Stagner Sub: 117 personnel Legionnaire Sub: 250 personnel - similar crew configuration to Sphinx-class BC; the Commander rank may command this craft Mobile FWD Base: 52 personnel - The basic unit is fast and quite maneuverable across any landscape, from the deepest seabed trenches to the highest mountain peaks. Each Moble FWD Base module, which is the smallest size MFB unit and the only one available in SinglePlay, can combine together with others to deploy any size of base and even attach to or extend a conventional base. A 10-module cluster on dry land can receive and fully service a Sphinx-class BC on its roof or a Legionnaire Sub while on the seabed, all within its shield/gravitational force field, without loosing any maneuverability. A cluster of eleven or more MFBs cannot effectively maneuver and becomes just a Forward Base. Personnel of any sized cluster of MFBs, even a full-fledged starbase, can modify its architecture or redeploy or subdivide it anywhere on the planet, on land or on the seabed. Assembly or disassembly of any size takes only minutes.
