Angel Cartel Militia
« on: 01 Oct 2010, 10:32 »

So a little project I started a while back was to come up with a set of "militia ranks" for the Angel Cartel, I originally started a mailing list called Angel Ranks, but after being unable to stir up enough interest in it through the Cartel channels, I decided to post it here. So anyway, here is a first draft of the ranks. Feel free to comment, critique, help, etc etc. I intend this to be a collaborative project.


Rank list:
Divine Ensign
Gistii Lieutenant
Arch Gistii Lieutenant
Gistum Captain
Arch Gistum Captain
Gistatis Major
Arch Gistatis Major
Gist Colonel
Arch Gist Colonel
Domination Commodore

And here is the expanded rank list with all of the individual ranks and a quote for each one.

Rank 1: Divine Ensign

Divine Ensign is the lowest commissioned rank in the Angel Cartel. It ranks immediately below Gistii Lieutenant.

I'm sort of hoping I can shanghei Ken to making icons for each rank. and this is supposed to be at least in part a group project, so feel free to contribute ideas/comments/criticisms.

For having? I might use them in my corp, but tbh, just having them seems novel to me.

'Plea' should actually be 'Plead'

Very cool though and creative quotes!

I'm gonna give this a bump, and see if I can get some additional feedback, also, I've started the rough sketches for the rank emblem designs.

I like the ranks Nikita but my only concern is there is too many to be practical. I like to give rank a meaning, for example higher security permissions, more roles in corp.

I may use a shortened down version of your ranks as I always thought it would be nice to have pirate faction ranks since I first saw the Militia ones.

I think Aodha that these are ranks of if there was an Angel Cartel militia akin to FDU/TLF/STPRO/24IC, which all have 10 ranks. Only for independent capsuleers, actual navy ranks are a lot different.
