In my system, there are two tracks: command and specialist. The 'E-' codes are reference to real-world US military pay grades I included them here to show equivalent ranks. I used a combination of US Army and US Marine ranks, with slight revisions to fit my vision of the Alliance rank structure. (Note: Solo's badge, shown above, would have a value of 2122. That gives us the following values for enlisted (grey/red) badges: Then I arrayed them as if they badges represented 4-digit numerals. Using these assumptions, I simply gave blue a value of 2, red a value of 1, and grey pips a value of zero. The 'value' of the badges seem to go from left-to-right, just like English writing. No one seems to have monchrome badges (all-red, all-grey, or all-blue).Д¤. Officers have blue and red pips enlisted have grey and red.ДЈ. I call them 'pips.' For reference, here's the badge I'm talking about, as worn by some unnamed Rebel Officer:Дў.

First, all Rebel badges are based on four small rectangles, arrayed horizontally, and worn over the left breast. )ДЇrom here I got some visual references from the Hoth Rebel uniforms, and set the basic rank-badge principles behind my design:ДЎ. (Yeah yeah, I know Saxton is not exactly loved by all, but for this purpose, his stuff was useful. I started with the 'Rebel Alliance Insignia' section of Saxton's Star Wars Technical Commentaries: I'll lay out what I came up with and how I came up with it. There are lots of references for officers, including the rank badge system for this site, but little for enlisted troops. When I needed enlisted ranks for an ongoing SW Rebellion-era campaign, I discovered there really isn't much background available.
