Clan military structure is built on a quinary, or base-five, system of grouping. The base unit is the Star, made of five "Points". A Point is usually one 'Mech, but could also be five Elementals or Protomechs, 2 tanks or Aerospace Fighters, or 25 standard infantry.
Clan military structure developed from the traditional Inner Sphere military structure, which is built on a quaternary (group of four) structure. The Inner Sphere equivalent of a Star is called a Lance.
Rank | Unit | Consists of | Symbol |
---|---|---|---|
Warrior[1] or Point Commander | Point | 1 'Mech, 2 tanks or Aerospace fighters, 5 Protomechs or Elementals, or 25 standard infantry |
|
Star Commander[2] | Star | 5 Points | |
Nova | 1 'Mech Star and 1 Elemental Star | ||
Star Captain[3] | Binary | 2 Stars | |
Supernova | 2 Novas | ||
Mixed Binary | 1 Star and 1 Nova | File:ClanMixedBinary.jpg | |
Trinary | 3 Stars | ||
Supernova Trinary | 3 Novas | ||
Mixed Trinary | 2 Stars and 1 Nova or 1 Star and 2 Novas | File:ClanMixedTrinaryA.jpg | |
Star Colonel | Cluster | 4-5 Binaries, Trinaries, Supernovas, or supernova Trinaries | |
Galaxy Commander | Galaxy | 3-5 Clusters |
- ↑ The rank the warrior holds is used as their title unless they hold the lowest rank (for example, Star Commander Zane). If they are warriors, they have a title denoting their sub-caste. E.g. a warrior who pilots a vehicle will be called ‘crewman’, and aerospace pilot will be called ‘pilot’ and so-on (for example, MechWarrior Aidan). Since the lowest MechWarriors are Point commanders, they have the title of MechWarrior instead of Point commander even though they have a Point commander rank.
- ↑ In Clan Coyote and Clan Hell’s horses, commanders of a Nova have the rank Nova commander, which is one rank higher than Star commander.
- ↑ In Clan Coyote and Clan Hell’s horses, commanders of a Super nova have the rank Nova captain, which one rank higher than Star captain.
