Imperial Ranks


In the Galactic Empire, personnel are divided into ranks, and these ranks are subdivided into different levels called classes. There are seven ranks, ranks 1-7, with Rank 7 being the highest rank to attain to. With Rank 7 are six classes, 1-6, with Class 1 being the highest. In Ranks 1-6, there are only four classes.

To translate the chart below, find the Navy ranking "High Admiral". After this title is listed in parentheses 6-1. These numbers are that officers rank number and class number, respectively. So a High Admiral (6-1) has a rank of 7 and class of 1. These numbers are important for security access to certain files, etc., and for determining superiority in the vast Imperial forces.

Rank Seven contains the overlords of the Empire, and these are not relegated to a specific branch of the Imperial armed forces (Army, Navy, etc.). The single exception is in Class 2, which is shared by a Grand Admiral in the Navy and a Grand General in the Army. Supreme Moffs, Grand Moffs, and Moffs are not assigned to a specific division, but oversee them all.
