Orange Cult Imperium Ranks and Organization.

== Grand Army of the Orange Cult Imperium Structure: ==
* Grand Army—Comprising of every singular elite and special forces unit within the Orange Cult Imperium, the Grand Army's number of personnel is publicly listed as sixty-four octillion and one point two sextillion. (64 octillion, and 1.2 sextillion.) Directly commanded by the Supreme Leader and Leaderess themselves, nobody else in the entire Imperium has the full authority over the entirety of the Grand Army of the Imperium.
* Reality Army—Comprising of twenty octillion units on average, this typically varies as it's around 25%-40% of the reality's (universe's) population depending how loyal said reality is to the Orange Cult Imperium. Reality Armies are overseen directly by members of the Imperium Royal Family, and typically having their own Supreme Governor alongside their respective military personal in charge of the reality and it's forces.
* Galactic Army—Comprising of forty quadrillion units on average, this also can vary depending upon if the Galaxy in question is fully under control of the Orange Cult Imperium or not. In galaxy's belonging with Reality One, Two, and any other control spheres of the Imperium, upwards to 40% of the population could make up this number. Galactic Army's are lead by High General a with a Marshal Commander acting as the second-in-command, alongside whatever governor is assigned typically being at least a High Governor.
* Systems Army—Comprising of seven hundred and eight-six thousand, four hundred and thirty-two units, (786,432) a Systems Army is in charge of maintaining control of any captured systems, or those loyal to the Imperium and consists of four sector armies. System Armies are lead by a Senior General, with a Marshal Commander acting as the second-in-command.
* Sector Army—Comprising of one hundred and ninety six, six hundred and eight units, (196,608) A Sector Army is in charge of maintaining control of any captured systems, or those loyal to the Imperium and consists of four corps/divisions. Sector Armies are lead by a General, with a Marshal Commander acting as the second-in-command.
* Corps/Division—Comprising of forty-nine thousand, one hundred and fifty-two units (4,152) a Corps/Division (Used interchangeably at commanding officer's discretion) consist of four legions/brigades. Corps/Divisions are lead by a Marshal Commander with Senior Commander acting as the second-in-command. Corps/Divisions are only seen in some of the largest scaled operations, typically taking entire systems nearly on their own if not for their supporting vehicles and nearly perfect logistics. A Corps/Division is the largest mobile structure of units, as larger ones typically are stationed unless broken into smaller units.
* Legion/Brigade—Comprising of twelve thousand, two hundred and eighty-eight units (12,288) a Legion or Brigade (Used interchangeably at commanding officer's discretion) consist of four regiments. Legions/Brigades are lead by a Senior Commander with a Colonel acting as the second-in-command. Legions/Brigades are perfectly structured to fit within the The BTS-77 "Celestial Carrier" alongside any supporting vehicles and equipment, therefore legion's are the bread and butter of large scale operations, despite typically not being deployed all that often minus in larger scaled operations.
* Regiment—Comprising of three thousand, and seventy-two units, (3,072) regiments are lead by a Regimental Commander, with a Lieutenant-Colonel acting as the second-in-command. Regiments consist of four battalions, and are exclusively deployed during military operations that the Imperium needs requiring sufficient, but not excessive manpower. The deployment of a singular regiment is typically more than enough to quell even the most troublesome of opposition.
* Battalion—Comprising of seven hundred and sixty-eight units (768) a battalion are lead by a Junior Commander formally referred to as a Battalion Commander, with the second-in-command being a Major. Battalion's consist of four companies combined, and are very infrequently seen during non-military campaigns or unless there is a formal showings to the public. Battalion's are the largest force the Imperium hopes to deploy at any given time, as the loss of a battalion would be a strategic blunder like few others.
* Company—Comprising of one hundred and ninety-eight two, (192) are lead by a captain, with the second-in-command being a First Lieutenant. Company's consist of four platoons combined, and are the most commonly deployed larger unit forces in the name of the Imperium. An Imperium company is typically sent on it's own to deal with only the most dangerous small groups or singular enemies of the Imperium, or otherwise further structured into larger structures.
* Platoon—Comprising of forty-eight units, a platoon is the same size as four combined squads, being perfectly structured to fit within The T-12 "Sky Legionnaire." Platoons are lead by a Second Lieutenant with their second-in-command being a Sergeant-Major. Platoons are typically one of the more commonly deployed organizations on patrols, small raids, or similar. Each platoon's command can further be broken into the lower sergeants leading each of the squads within it, as the tertiary non-commissioned officers.
* Squad—Comprising of a total twelve units, squads can vary in classifications of units. Squads are lead by a sergeant, with the second in command being a corporal and a further two specialist acting as the tertiary non-commissioned officers, typically more utilized in a fireteam setting.
* Fireteam—Comprising of six units typically broken in two fireteams from an already existing squad, the first fireteam is typically lead by the sergeant of the squad in question, with the first specialist acting as their second-in-command. The second fireteam likewise is typically lead by the corporal, with the second specialist acting as their second-in-command. Fireteams are typically only used when a squad is required to accomplish more than one objective, or splitting forces is deemed necessary.
* Unit— Comprising of a singular elite or special forces trooper, a unit is highly infrequently sent on their own. Every prior mentioned rank is made up of units. Small trivia fact: sometimes the smallest assigned forces will informally be called a "pod" or two units typically stationed on watch at a secured location.
== Grand Army of the Orange Cult Imperium Ranks: ==
* Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces—Is the highest ranking member of the entire Orange Cult Imperium, and is only assigned to the Supreme Leader and/or Supreme Leaderess. This rank is more of an honorary role, similar to how some government's presidents are given a rank of the same name. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces unlike typical rulers, will actively fight on the frontlines and command forces as they see fit however, being a leader this task can and is often run down the ranks accordingly.
* Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces—Is the rank currently possessed by Carjo "Marshal" Jotat, and is the highest proper military rank once can gain without being a member of the royal family or bloodline. This rank acts as the second highest rank in the Imperium, and unlike the highest rank being Commander-in-Chief it's a properly documented and requires a detailed military background, holding the six stars. This rank oversees all military and police operations of the Imperium's forces, be it navy, army, starfighter corps, special forces, police forces, and so forth.
* Commander of the Grand Army—Is a rank currently given Christopher Jones, middle-child and only son of the Supreme Leader and Leaderess. This rank is reserved only for the esteemed of the royal family, and oversees all Grand Army and Special Forces' coordination, supply, and overarching orders. This rank is more of a title than a proper rank, yet still holds the authority of such regardless.
* High General—The next rank after Senior General, High Generals are in charge of coordinating entire Galactic Armies and are promoted personally by the royal family from only the most skillful of Senior Generals. High Generals hold the rank of five stars, and are the highest rank one can achieve in the entire Grand Army of the Imperium.
* Senior General—The next rank after General, a Senior General is in charge of coordinating an entire Systems Army and are promoted personally by the Royal Family, from only the most skillful of Generals. Senior Generals hold the rank of four stars, and are the second highest rank one can achieve in the entire Grand Army of the Imperium.
* General—The next rank after Marshal Commander, Generals are in charge of coordinating an entire Sector Army, and are under no circumstances to engage in combat unless forced to. Generals are hand-picked by the Royal Family out of any willing Marshal Commander's and hold the rank of three stars, being the third highest rank one can achieve in the entire Grand Army of the Imperium. The rank of General and higher is extremely rare, and even rarer to see as the highly militaristic Orange Cult Imperium thinks of them as "Chairwarmer Cowards" as not all are informed every General has served as a Marshal Commander and lower at some point or another. 
* Marshal Commander—The next rank after Senior Commander, a Marshal Commander is in charge of leading a Corps or Division, and will act as the second-in-command of any rank structures from Sector Army all the way to Galactic Army. The rank of Marshal Commander is considered the most prestigious rank one can gain and holds the rank of two stars, as a singular Marshal Commander being able to turn the tide of an entire engagement in the favor of the Imperium not even counting the sheer manpower they possess under their jurisdiction. Marshal Commanders similarly to other Commanders tend to fight on the frontlines with their men, despite the risks involved with such therefore, the presence of a Marshal Commander is awe-inspiring for the Orange Cult Imperium, being the most respected rank easily. A Marshal Commander is the only rank that can be made into a General, if deemed fit for promotion and willing.
* Senior Commander—The next rank after Regiment Commander, a Senior Commander is in charge of leading a Legion or Brigade, and also are assigned as the second-in-command of their larger Corps or Brigade, and holding the rank of one star. Senior Commander and the later Marshal Commanders are considered the most prestigious ranks one can achieve in their career, as higher ranks are borderline impossible to achieve without extremely specific circumstances and will never be allowed to personally deploy in combat. Senior Commanders are proven one-man-armies, possessing skills that could land them in the special forces department if not for their command position therefore, a Senior Commander's presence is awe-inspiring in the Orange Cult Imperium being the second most respected rank.
* Regimental Commander—The next rank after Battalion Commander, a Regiment Commander is the second lowest commander rank, and is sometimes referred to as "Commander" though this is informal. A Regiment Commander befitting of it's name, is in charge of leading a regiment and acts as a middle tier commander level rank in a sense.
* Battalion Commander—The next rank after Colonel, a Battalion Commander is the first of many commander level ranks and sometimes is referred to as a "Junior Commander" though this is informal. A Battalion Commander befitting of it's name, is in charge of leading a Battalion into battle. Battalion Commander's make up the highly elite "Commander Program" being some of the most promising and skillful individuals within the entire Orange Cult Imperium. It's rumored graduates of this program are one-man-armies within their own rights, though such rumors are not officially listed as either true or false.
* Colonel—The next rank after Lieutenant-Colonel, a Colonel is the second-in-command of a Legion or Brigade. Colonel's are considered the tail-end of a highly disguised officer's career namely, taking decades to properly achieve via normal means. The same as any other Highcomm rank, Colonels were very often given higher responsibilities than second-in-command duty to a Brigade or Legion.
* Lieutenant-Colonel—The next rank after Major, a Lieutenant-Colonel is the second-in-command of a Regiment. Lieutenant-Colonel's are considered the second lowest rank of "Highcomm" and have an admittedly odd placement in command authority, but similarly to prior mentioned roles may be assigned greater responsibilities than simply a Regiment's second-in-command.
* Major—The next rank after Captain, a Major is the second-in-command of a Battalion. Major's are considered the lowest rank of "Highcomm" within the Orange Cult Imperium, and are very often assigned greater responsibilities than what is listed. A Major might be fully in-charge of coordinating an entire planet's forces, whether on the frontlines or otherwise or simply marching in formation with a battalion.
* Captain—The next rank after Lieutenant, Captain's are in charge of a company. Captain's have one the hardest officer program to pass, as no ranks are allowed to be ranked higher than Captain from the officer program, further promotions requiring displays of bravery and valor above and beyond the call of duty.
* Lieutenant—The next rank after Second Lieutenant, a Lieutenant is the second-in-command of a company. Lieutenants are the the second "easiest" to pass officer academy as, yet still considered the first "serious" officer rank by many. Lieutenants are often assigned responsibilities acting to lesser or higher degrees than a Company's second-in-command, befitting of the mission.
* 2nd Lieutenant—The next rank after Sergeant-Major, a Second Lieutenants leads a platoon into battle. Second Lieutenants are the first rank that has to pass the rigorous officer academy, though having the most common passing rate due to having the "easiest" standards in the program. Second Lieutenants and higher also are almost always exclusively the "Officer Unit" making them the first of many roles with a unique outfit.
* Sergeant Major—The next rank after Sergeant, a Sergeant-Major act as the second-in-command of a platoon, and are the most senior rank of the Non-Commissioned Officer program. Sergeant-Majors are the only rank that can be field promoted from a Non-Commissioned Officer, to a full officer in the event their platoon's Second Lieutenant is killed in action, or otherwise incapacitated. However, following such a field promotion they still have to pass the officer academy as normal.
* Sergeant—The next rank after Corporal, a Sergeant is in charge of leading a squad into battle. Sergeant's are considered the first proper role within the Non-Commissioned Officer program, and therefore require additional training and knowledge of small unit tactics and leadership.
* Corporal—The next rank after Specialist, Corporals are a squad's second-in-command typically, and most often take full command of the second fireteam in the event a a squad is broken up into such. Corporals are the first rank that can earn "field promotions" in the event the Sergeant is killed in action, or otherwise incapacitated. However, following such a field promotion they still have to pass the Non-Commissioned Officer program as normal.
* Specialist—The next rank from Trooper, Specialist despite holding seniority over troopers tend to be more of a specialization with an added rank. For example, the lowest ranking "Heavy Flamer Units" and "Tank Units" would be ranked as Specialist, due to using unique weapons. Likewise, any class defaulting from it's normal equipment would hold the specialization of specialist, but not always the rank.
* Trooper—The lowest true military rank comprising of the bulk force of the Orange Cult Imperium's manpower. Troopers, also referred to as units have seniority only over Trainees and non-military ranks and roles, depending on the situation. 
* Trainee—Assigned to those going through the nine-month combat training program, classrooms, and various training exercises. Trainees are considered the lowest ranking members of the Orange Cult Imperium. Most Trainees will typically have a "Trainee Squadleader" whom is given seniority over their squad alone.
=== Grand Army Special Forces Structure: ===
* Special Operations Brigade (SO BDE)—Unknown number of groups (3.2 octillion, five quadrillion Units), commanded by Heir Christopher Jones personally. The Imperium gave up on doing the math here, as Command Group is the highest deployed structure of Special Force.
* Command Group—5 companies (1,125 troopers), the special forces "equivalent" of a regular grand army battalion, lead by a Senior Commander or Marshal Commander.
* Company—5 troops (225 troopers) led by a Battalion Commander or Regiment Commander referred to as "Special Forces Commander."
* Troop—5 squads (45 troopers) lead by a Captain or Major.
* Squad—Nine troopers led by a sergeant-Major or Sergeant.
=== Grand Army Special Forces Ranks: ===
The same as Grand Army ranks, but ending at Colonel officially as all Commanders within their own rights are considered Species Forces. A notable difference is that special forces units may also be called operators, and have to have served at least three years in the Grand Army before becoming eligible to join the species forces program. (Not including any requirements for individual special forces.)
