Background Note
Onscreen, only legates displayed a specific rank insignia on their uniforms. The other ranks were simply written in Cardassian script on the officer's uniform; however, for easy identification on a roster, a system of 1 to 3 dots is used on our wiki to identify gil through gul. The blank insignia is suitable for non-officers/general soldiers.
The pips above are from kuro-rpg.net, and have been renamed to conform with only those ranks seen onscreen or listed in official reference works (namely, the DS9 Technical Manual, which introduced the rank of gil).
