Start: Ranks RanksAlthough a Member's overall status within the Fleet will be ENTIRELY determined by his or her position, the following military ranks are presented below to further stratify the Hammer (and give something for members to strive for). The position of a member will ALWAYS take precedence over conflicting ranks (i.e. a Flight Leader who is a Lieutenant Colonel (LC) DOES NOT outrank a Squadron Commander who is a Captain...although this rarely occurs). The primary use of the ranks will be to determine minimum standards for the various Positions. The promotion of members of the Emperor's Hammer above the Rank of Admiral is by Order of the Fleet Commander only. These ranks will be conferred based upon the amount of effort contributed by the member to the Fleet and recommendations from his or her superior officer (if appropriate). The Ranks of Vice Admiral and below may be conferred by individual Command Officers, Battlegroup Commanders, Commodores, Wing Commanders or Squadron Commanders, as appropriate, and as detailed in the promotions Section of this Training Manual. However, the Fleet Commander and Flight Officer must be advised of, and approve such promotions, so that the Flight Roster can be properly amended. The approved Ranks for the Emperor's Hammer are as follows:
