Military Ranks

Military personnel also have a ranking system. Note there is no sex discrimination among Tre'Volos troops, but sex discrimination is common in other areas. Military personnel are expected to go through the chain of command. No low raking soldier would even think of asking for an audience with the Emperor. Note also that Gladiators are soldiers and not coliseum gladiators. Social level for the military is as follows:

0 = Slave

1 = Gladiator

2 = Militiamen

3 = Guardsmen

4 = Sergeant

5 = Leftenant

6 = Captain

7 = Commander

8 = General/Admiral

9 = Emperor

Militiamen serve one weekend per month and may be called out in case of emergencies. Some commoners serve as militiamen. These are the Militia members.

Guardsmen are permanent soldiers and serve in three eight hour shifts - "morning", afternoon", and "evening".

Sergeants are generally the guardsmen's immediate supervisors. Many military personnel have risen to Nobility thru acts of valor.
