Major General

SLDF

In the First SLDF a Major General commanded a Division or sometimes a Corps. Frequently they were in charge of the defense of a vital world that could be attacked. In the Second SLDF a Major General would have the same responsibilities.

The naval equivalent of a Major General was a Vice Admiral. Typically they would command the naval presence in a military region.

A Major General wore two three dimensional stars as their rank insignia, while a Vice Admiral wore two purple stripes on their cuffs.

Armed Forces of the Federated Suns

In the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns, a Major General is usually the Executive Officer of a March Militia unit. Since the March Militia's units are spread over a large number of worlds, a Major General needs to use tact and political acumen as well as tactical and strategic military skills. In a battle, the Major General usually assumes command of a regiment that is vital to the commanding officer's plans.

The equivalent naval rank is Vice Admiral.

Major Generals wear epaulets with three broad bands across the base.
