Ranks in Starfleet follow a specific order, and are of three types: [[Starfleet Rank Index: Flag Officer|Flag Officer]], [[Starfleet Rank Index: Officer|Officer]], and [[Starfleet Rank Index: Enlisted|Enlisted]]. Enlisted crewmen are not trained in any command fields, and fulfill the mundane duties of a starship. Officers are trained for command, and it is assumed that some will someday reach the ranks of captain or above. Flag officers often fulfill administrative duties, and sometimes command task forces of ships. Promotions are awarded for quality of service, not for length of time served.

'''Ranks''' in Starfleet follow a specific order, and are of three types: [[Starfleet Rank Index: Flag Officer|'''Flag Officer''']], [[Starfleet Rank Index: Officer|'''Officer''']], and [[Starfleet Rank Index: Enlisted|'''Enlisted''']]. Enlisted crewmen are not trained in any command fields and fulfill many of the operational duties of a starship. Officers are trained to assume leadership roles within their departments, and those within the [[command division]] train to lead an entire starship as part of the command staff. Flag officers often fulfill administrative duties and sometimes command taskforces of ships. Promotions are awarded for quality of service, not for length of time served.

[[Image:Pips-fadm.jpg]]Fleet Admiral is the highest rank in Starfleet. Fleet Admirals have many years of distinguished service and an impeccable record. There are only 6 Fleet Admirals: the Judge Advocate General, the Chief in Command, the Commander Starfleet, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, the Director of the Corps of Engineers and the Fleet Commander.

Those graduating from Starfleet Academy earn a four-year degree (Bachelor's) in their [[Academy Majors and Minors|major field of study]] such as communications, engineering, the sciences, or nursing.


===Admiral===  
Medical officers attend an additional four years at [[Starfleet Medical Academy]] before earning their medical degree (or earn their commission through Officer Candidate School after having obtained their degree elsewhere).
[[Image:Pips-adm.jpg]]Admiral is the highest normal rank in Starfleet. Admirals have impeccable service records and decades of service. Flag Officers of Admiral rank are in command of all main divisions Starfleet with the exceptions listed above for Fleet Admirals. There are also 8 sector Admirals who are responsible for operations in their specific area, such as the Romulan Neutral Zone or Home Sector.

|rowspan=10 style="background:#D5D6D8"|'''[[Starfleet Rank Index: Enlisted|Enlisted]] personnel''' are those who have not completed the four-year Starfleet Academy course or otherwise been given a commission as an officer through Officer Candidate School. In most cases, enlisted crewmen sign up directly to a ship or posting, and receive basic training, as well as any specific courses required for their position.


===Vice Admiral===
Its predecessor, the Earth Starfleet, also had a hierarchy of enlisted positions. Other force structures, such as the Klingon Defense Force and the Bajoran Militia, have enlisted men in their ranks, but it is unclear as to how they differ from their standard officer ranks.
[[Image:Pips-vadm.jpg]]Vice Admirals are Flag Officers who have a specific mandate, such as a subsection of a Division, or an area of space. Vice Admirals also command task forces. Most Armadas and Task Forces are assigned to Vice Admirals


===Rear Admiral===
As with commissioned officers, there is a rank structure amongst enlisted crew. In naval systems, these are referred to as "rates". In military systems these are called "grades". The term "non-commissioned officer" refers specifically to any enlisted personnel given authority over other personnel. In Starfleet, this could refer to any petty officer (up to master chief).
[[Image:Pips-radm.jpg]]Rear Admirals are Flag Officers responsible for a limited and specific area for a limited time. Rear Admirals are usually promoted to Vice Admiral within two years. Rear Admirals may command major Starbases, Shipyards, Starfleet Bases on major worlds, or similar duties.  


===Commodore===
All commissioned officer ranks, from ensign upward, outrank all enlisted in the chain of command. However, in certain cases, non-commissioned officers can exercise authority over commissioned officers. ({{ma|Miles O'Brien}} is one such case, in his position as chief of operations aboard Deep Space 9). Additionally, chief petty officers such as O'Brien wield influence far beyond their place in the rank structure due to their extensive experience and skill and are expected to mentor junior officers as well as other non-commissioned officers.
[[Image:Pips-commodore.jpg]]Commodore is a naval rank, the equivalent of which is used by the service organizations of many civilizations. As a traditional grade, commodore is the most junior flag officer rank of a naval organization, under an admiral rank (usually under rear admiral) but senior to a captain. Commodores command groups of ships, as opposed to captains commanding single ships or units. In comparison to other ranking systems, this rank is equivalent to the military brigadier or brigadier general. The rank of Commodore was used by starfleet until at least the 2270's, but it has been superceded.
: ''Commodore is still, sometimes, used by UFOP: StarBase 118 for those officers who fulfill a special administrative position within the group. It is not considered part of the normal rank structure, and many officers are promoted from Fleet Captain to Rear Admiral.''


===Fleet Captain===
Enlisted personnel may be promoted to receive a commission, but must pass necessary examinations and/or attend the Academy.
[[Image:Pips-fcpt.jpg]]Fleet Captain is a Starfleet title given to a senior captain with a different set of responsibilities than a starship captain. This could be thought of as a higher rank than captain, although it does not possess a permanent position in the rank hierarchy (a captain could also be directly promoted to the next highest rank, without spending time at a fleet captain posting).

Commanders are senior line officers. Commanders usually serve as the Executive Officer, Operations Officer, or Security Chief onboard a starship. Commanders may command small starships of under 100 crewmen, but this is rare. Commanders may also command small Starbases or minor outposts. Taking the Bridge Officer's Test is the only way for a science or medical officer to be promoted to Commander, pending completion of the other requirements

Lieutenant Commanders are senior line officers. Lieutenant Commanders usually serve as department heads aboard starship or on large Starbases. Lieutenant Commanders may be the executive officers on starships with a crew of less than 250, but usually Commanders fill that role.

Ensigns are the most junior of Commissioned Officers. Ensigns often serve as Flight Controller aboard starships, or Operations Officer on small Starships. Ensigns can also serve in relief or assistant capacities to most other positions aboard ship. It is rare, but not unheard of, for a Cadet at Starfleet Academy to be granted a temporary Commission of Ensign. This is only done in cases of truly outstanding grades. Officers typically spend around 3 years as an Ensign.

[[Image:Pips-cadet-4.jpg]]Cadets 1st Class are cadets in their final year at Starfleet Academy. They have a leadership role in the Cadet Corps. Cadet's 1st Class usually have at least 1 training cruise behind them and have earned at least 90 academic credits. A Cadet 1st Class may lead a Cadet Flight Squadron or special Cadet Operations Squad.
 
===Cadet 2nd Class===
[[Image:Pips-cadet-3.jpg]]Cadets 2nd Class are cadets in their third year. In their third year at the Academy, cadets undergo advanced training in their field as well as detailed instruction on the current state of the Galaxy. Cadets 2nd Class may elect to take a training cruise in place of a class in Starfleet Operations. These cruises last between 4 and 16 weeks and give Cadets real space experience.
 
===Cadet 3rd Class===
[[Image:Pips-cadet-2.jpg]]Cadets 3rd Class are cadets in their second year. In their second year at the Academy, cadets participate in field duty. A Cadet may be posted in a training role to a Starship or Starbase, or may be lucky enough to earn membership in a Cadet Squadron or Cadet Operations Squad.
 
===Cadet 4th Class===
[[Image:Pips-cadet-1.jpg]]Cadets 4th Class are the lowest level of Cadet. They are 1st year students with no seniority or special privileges. Cadet's 4th Class undergo what are certainly the worst conditions in Starfleet. Cadet's 4th class endure cramped Barracks, very intensive physical conditioning, and difficult classes. The ordeal almost always produces a hardworking, dedicated cadet however.
 
==Warrant Officers==
Although considered a commissioned officer, Warrant Officers ranks are drawn exclusively from the ranks of enlisted personnel. CPO or higher may advance directly to WO (skipping other ranks) provided they attend Officer Candidate School.

Information regarding promotions within the fleet is available at the Promotions section of our Member Resources.

Ranks in Starfleet follow a specific order, and are of three types: Flag Officer, Officer, and Enlisted. Enlisted crewmen are not trained in any command fields and fulfill many of the operational duties of a starship. Officers are trained to assume leadership roles within their departments, and those within the command division train to lead an entire starship as part of the command staff. Flag officers often fulfill administrative duties and sometimes command taskforces of ships. Promotions are awarded for quality of service, not for length of time served.
