After Sun-Tzu became Chancellor, he introduced several new ranks into the CCAF as part of [[Xin Sheng]]. These ranks were given new Chinese names, and resulted in several promotions.

For specific ranks see Military Ranks

In most Inner Sphere and Periphery militaries, soldiers with the rank of Captain command companies. In the various naval forces, the rank of Captain is usually a ship's commanding officer and is roughly equivalent to a Colonel of ground forces.

SLDF

In the first Star League, a Captain commanded a company of ground forces. In the SLDF Navy, they commanded DropShips. In any case, these officers were expected to demonstrate initiative.[1]

In the second Star League a Captain is the front line commander of a company of ground troops. Unlike their first Star League counterparts, SLDF Navy officers at this rank are called Commander and command a flight of AeroSpace Fighters, a DropShip, or act as the Executive Officer of a JumpShip or WarShip.[2]

In both cases, the rank insignia for an SLDF Captain is two green bars.

Lyran Commonwealth and Lyran Alliance

The LCAF and LAAF use the rank of Hauptmann for company commanders. These officers are the highest rank that routinely see combat. To honor these officers, the Lyran Alliance's first OmniMech was named the Hauptmann.

Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery

The DCMS uses Tai-i to indicate company commanders. Their symbol is a royal blue "5". The Draconis Combine Admiralty rank is Chu-i.[5] A chu-i in the DCA frequently commands a flight of six AeroSpace Fighters.[6]

Capellan Confederation Armed Forces

Prior to Sun-Tzu Liao's ascension to the Celestial Throne, the CCAF used the rank of Captain to indicate the commanding officer of a company. Due to the CCAF's unique rank structure at that time, Captains and Majors were assigned to a variety of different duties that would be handled by higher ranking officers in other militaries.

After Sun-Tzu became Chancellor, he introduced several new ranks into the CCAF as part of Xin Sheng. These ranks were given new Chinese names, and resulted in several promotions. Officers who held the rank of Captain under Romano Liao were renamed Sao-shao equivalent to Major in other militaries. Officers who command companies now hold the rank of Sang-wei. Their rank insignia is a brass bar with a single silver pip. [8]

The CCAF Admiralty rank uses the same insignia, but is named Kong-sang-wei.
