Capellan Confederation
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. 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. [3]
The CCAF Admiralty rank uses the same insignia, but is named Kong-sang-wei.
