====Background====
===Ranks of the Tholian Assembly===
The Tholian Assembly employs a rank structure similar to the Federation.  
Though the majority of Tholians do not wear a rank as their leadership position was based on their attitude and color pattern, the Tholian Assembly did have a set of ranks so when they were among other races their position could be better easily recognized.  


* '''Fleet General''', a flag officer, and equivilant to a '''Fleet Admiral'''.

Tholians rarely display their rank insiginia, which is a purple fire crystal, as they are only for dealing with foreign officers. They're heat patterns of their bodies indicate their rank of authority. Purple fire crystals are able to withstand the heat of their environment, but also are used to decorate their exo-suits while aboard another species' vessel or planet so they are able to be recognized.

|colspan=3|Tholian society is strictly segregated based on caste, and the Tholian military is no different. Members of the warrior caste make up the bulk of the military, but only members of the leadership caste serve as officers. In addition, specialists from other castes such as healers, scientists, and engineers serve aboard the military but only at the lowest officer ranks.

===Background Note===
''The pips above are from [http://kuro-rpg.net kuro-rpg.net], and have been renamed to conform with only those ranks seen onscreen or listed in the novels (Memory Beta). The junior ranks of ensign and lieutenant are also used in Star Trek Online and are included here. That game also includes the rank of captain, but as TOS and the various TOS novels have consistently used the rank of commander for starship commanding officers, that is the captain equivalent used here.'''
