The Romulan Star Empire employs the use two ranking systems, one for the Romulan Imperial Navy and the other for the Tal Shiar:

Imperial Navy Ranks
	Admiral	A flag officer, equivalent to admiral
	Commander	Equivalent to captain
File:Subcommander-Black.png	Subcommander	Equivalent to commander
File:Centurion-Black.png	Centurion	Equivalent to lieutenant commander
	Lieutenant	Equivalent to lieutenant
File:Sublieutenant-Black.png	Sublieutenant	Equivalent to ensign or lieutenant junior grade
File:Uhlan-Black.png	Uhlan	An enlisted rank, equivalent to crewman
Tal Shiar Ranks
File:M10-Genl-Black.png	General	A flag officer, equivalent to admiral
File:M06-Col-Black.png	Colonel	A senior officer, equivalent to captain
File:M04-Mjr-Black.png	Major	A mid-level officer, equivalent to commander
The Tal Shiar does not use lower ranks, instead recruiting experienced officers directly from the Romulan Imperial Navy. Their authority supersedes that of the Imperial Navy, with a Tal Shiar major for instance being able to overrule the command of a supposedly higher ranking naval officer. Likewise, Tal Shiar colonels can command fleet of ships, and generals are considered higher ranking than admirals.
Political Positions
	Official	Higher offices of power within the Romulan government such as senator and chairman hold authority over the military.
