You realise the last comic inside the fortress was you saying "I have a plan that just might work...", don't you? It was just before your non-canon "shoot 'em all" panel, but I had presumed that Rand had actually said that, and was waiting for you to elaborate.
Yeah, no offence, but you obviously have no idea what the various military ranks mean. Using the ranks you chose, the list would look like this:
Commander is in [] because it's a Naval rank, while the others are Army ranks. And for the purpose of the chart, I took cadet to mean officer cadet, instead of "member of the cadet forces".Colonel - Katya and Skimmer
[Commander - Shadesworth, Lawrence, Digger Deb]
Major - X2, Brain and Damien
Lieutenant - Moss Agat, Falgorn
Cadet - Redshirts and security guards
Private - Tjal, Howl, Albino
I suggest you use these ranks:
{table=head]Rank|Characters
Major|X2, Brain, Damien
Captain|Katya, Skimmer
Lieutenant|Moss Agat, Falgorn
Second Lieutenant|Shadesworth, Lawrence, Digger Deb
|[Warrant Officers and NCOs (lance corporal, corporals, sergeants, etc.) go here]
Private|Tjal, Howl, Albino, Redshirts, security guards[/table]
The only problem I can see with this one is that it leave no room for more ranks to be "squeezed in" as it were, you'd need to reshuffle the whole structure up a rank.
