Personnel

Bretonian Armed Forces - ID & IFF

Admiral of the Fleet:

After voting procedures, made from the Admiralty Board members, a person is appointed to the rank of “Admiral of the Fleet”. The Admiral of the Fleet is the Supreme Commander of the Bretonia Armed Forces. Such honor is given to only a few, and is nearly impossible to achieve. It is not just a title; the bearer of this rank is the “face” of the Bretonian Military Might. He holds the overriding decision in the Admiralty Board and commands the Somerset Fleet.

N/A

Fleet Captain:

Created as less a rank and more akin to a title, the Fleet Captain is the person responsible with shoring up the Armed Forces in case of national crises but also in times of peace. Though nominally a Captain by ranking, the Fleet Captain has the same level of authority as an Admiral, with all the responsibilities that would come with such a position.

N/A

Admiral:

The Admiral is the most prestigious and honorable rank in the Bretonia Armed Forces. Persons given the rank of an Admiral are a member of the Admiralty Board. They are commanders of Her Majesty’s fleets, spread across the Bretonia Sovereign. They may organize Diplomatic encounters, Political relations with the other Houses, as well as large fleet assault groups and are to be informed about everything that is going in Bretonia.

N/A

Commodore:

The Commodore is the most responsible of all commanders, rank. It’s the fourth and last level of command before the Admiral rank. Depending on what the Commodore is appointed to, he must do his job with care and extra caution. Commodores are present in both Diplomatic affairs and Combat encounters. They send direct orders to the members of the Armed Forces, and prepare the future combat plans, advised from their Captains. The Commodore rank is hard to attain. It’s a goal only to those who desire to be involved in more political affairs than combat situations. The responsibilities are on the highest level. A Commodore can also be assigned a fleet to command, it is a large task but with great rewards.

Captain:

The Captain is the third level, Commander rank. He may give orders to anyone from Ensigns to Commanders. The Captain’s responsibilities are higher than the Commander’s. As such, he must be careful in all his actions. Captains are eligible to attain “Titles”, these roles must be treated with respect as they come with great importance. The list of “Titles” is shown below.

BAF|Cpt.Forename.Lastname

Commander:

The Commander is the first rank in Mid Command and has more responsibilities for his men in both Diplomatic and Combat situations. The Commander may give orders to Ensigns, Lieutenants and Lieutenant Commanders. Commanders are the first step in the direction of responsibility and must conduct themselves as a model pilot out in the field. A failure of his mission won’t reflect on his wingmen, but directly on him. Even if his wingmen aren’t performing at their best, it is the Commander’s job to “Sort it out”. A Commander has the opportunity to attain a special role, a list of such roles are displayed below.

Lieutenant Commander:

Once the Lieutenant pilot proves himself in his requirements, he may be given the rank of Lieutenant Commander. This is the first rank that gives the pilot a command power, though on a low level. He can give orders to ensigns and lieutenants, if there is no other high ranked member currently active.

Lieutenant:

They are the ones who have proven trustworthy and capability, they are able to command ensigns around as they wish. However, any command they may issue can be over-ruled by any decision by a higher ranked officer.

Once accepted into the Armed forces, they are acknowledged as Ensigns as in "fresh meat". They are required to prove their worthiness in order to advance to the rank of Lieutenant. They go through excessive load of training for that they may have a chance to survive the battlefield.
