Rank Structure for Confederacy Uniformed Services
The rank structures originally accepted were those of the Western military powers, predominately those of the United States of America and Great Britain.

Civil Service
(Note that these ranks were taken from military titles in the old Roman Empire, but they are not pronounced the way the original Latin would back then. Rather, they are pronounced the way they are spoken in modern English. The 'C' in Decurion and Vicarius is hard as in the English letter 'K', while the 'C' in Centurion is soft like the English letter 'S'. 'Dux' is pronounced as the English word for multiple birds 'ducks'. -ZM from an author's email list discussion on 4/25/2015)
- Opt. - Optio - Officer Cadet
- Sign. - Signifer - Ensign - O-1
- SDec. - Sub-Decurion - Lieutenant - O-2
- Dec. - Decurion - Commander - O-3
- Cent. Centurion - Major - O-4
- Tri. - Tribune - Lt Colonel - O-5
- Leg. - Legate - Colonel - O-6
- Dux - Dux - Brigadier General/Commodore - O-7
- Vic. - Vicarius - Major General/Rear Admiral - O-8
Fleet Auxiliary
(Rank within the Fleet Auxiliary follows the Navy pattern.)
