Armed Forces of the Federated Suns[edit]

In the AFFS, Rear Admiral is the naval equivalent of a Leftenant General. They typically command the AeroSpace Brigade (two wings) of a Regimental Combat Team.[2] In the Naval Service, they command multiple DropShip squadrons, small flotillas of JumpShips, or serve as the executive officer of an AFFS WarShip.[3]
