General

A Lyran and generic rank, the General is responsible for command and control of entire armies above the regimental level.

In the AFFS, a Major General who proves able to coordinate multiple regiments across a wide area of space is often promoted to General. Frequently they are given command of a March Milita unit to develop their diplomatic and logistical skills. If the General proves to be a strong strategist, they are often assigned as the executive officer of a frontline RCT, where they can act as their commander's lead troubleshooter.

The AFFS Navy uses the rank of Admiral for officers who hold this rank. The symbol of rank is an epaulette with three broad bands and one narrow band across the base.

General (Admiral)

The DCMS title for this rank is Tai-sho.

The Clans use the rank of Galaxy Commander for officers who hold this rank; Star Admiral is the Clan Naval equivalent.

The Eridani Light Horse mercenary unit is unique in that the commanding officer of all ELH forces holds the rank of Brevet General. This reflects the officer's willingness to step down from command if they act in a manner inconsistent with ELH and SLDF tradition. (Normally multi-regiment mercenary units call their commanding officers "Senior Colonel.")
