Rank and insignia of the Imperial Military (Copy)

The Imperial Military makes extensive use of ranks and rank plaques. Red, blue and yellow are used. Blue is traditionally indicative of the Imperial Army while Red is traditionally indicative of the Imperial Navy. Yellow traditionally has a special connotation to it; notably for operations ranks. The quickest way to differentiate between Imperial Army and Imperial Navy personnel is to look at the top color of their rank plaques. Imperial Army officers have blue on top whereas Imperial Navy officers have red on top.
