| '''Star Colonel''' is a high-level officer rank within the [[Clan military structure]], with its naval equivalent being a [[Star Commodore]]. A Star Colonel commands a [[Cluster]] of units, usually four or five [[Binary|Binaries]], [[Trinary|Trinaries]], and/or [[Supernova (unit)|Supernovas]]. The rank is analogous with a [[Major]] or [[Colonel]] among the [[Inner Sphere]] militaries.<ref>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 11</ref><ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 14</ref> | | '''Star Colonel''' is a high-level officer rank within the [[Clan military structure]], with its naval equivalent being a [[Star Commodore]].

− | As Clan society is a military-led caste system, Star Colonels must be politically, as well as militarily, adroit. Therefore, a Clan Colonel often has much more political power and experience than his/her Inner Sphere equivalent. This rank is technically available to those wildly successful in a [[Trial of Position]], defeating four opponents. Only once in the history of the Clans has a warrior earned Star Colonel thusly, following the return of [[Natasha Kerensky]] to the Wolf Clan during [[Operation REVIVAL]]. This act requires cooperation between participants and success during the general melee that results.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 19</ref>
