i will be trying to make ranks for this guild from what i can find

this is what ive found so far

Robotech Rank System
The Following system is suggested to give a more realistic rank system while at the same time incorporating references made in the Robotech series as being legitimate attempts to call persons by their actual rank.

Officer's Ranks
Grade | RDF/REF Naval Branch | RDF/REF Marine Corps | Southern Cross
-------+------------------------+----------------------+---------------------
O-11 | Admiral of the RDF | |
O-10 | Admiral | General | Field Marshal
O-9 | Vice Admiral | Lieutenant General | Lieutenant General*
O-8 | Rear Admiral | Major General | Major General
O-7 | Commodore | Brigadier General | Brigadier General
O-6 | Captain | Colonel | Colonel
O-5 | Commander | Lieutenant Colonel | Lieutenant Colonel
O-4 | Lieutenant Commander | Major | Major
O-3 | 1st Lieutenant | 1st Lieutenant | Captain
O-2 | 2nd Lieutenant | 2nd Lieutenant | 1st Lieutenant
O-1 | Ensign/3rd Lieutenant# | 3rd Lieutenant | 2nd Lieutenant

* The Southern Cross of Robotech never had any of these, as it never attained a size large enough to need them. This is why Emerson was 2nd in command of the SC, but only a Major General.

# Ensign is the general term for this rank, while 3rd Lieutenant is used for "mustangs": persons who earned a promotion to officer rank from combat action. Mustangs who complete OCS are promoted to 2nd Lieutenant. All ground officers who go through academy training (not OCS) start out as 2nd Lieutenants. Enlisted Ranks [1]

Grade | RDF Naval Branch | RDF Ground Branch | Southern Cross
-------+----------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------------
E-9c |(on reaching this level, | Sgt. Major of the RDF [2] | Sgt. Major of the ASC [2]
E-9b | technicians become either | Command Sergeant Major | Command Sergeant Major
E-9a | Officer or Warrant Officer | Sergeant Major | Sergeant Major
E-8b | Master Chief Tech Sgt. [3] | First Sergeant [3] | First Sergeant [3]
E-8a | Master Technical Sergeant | Master Sergeant | Master Sergeant
E-7 | Chief Technical Sergeant | Gunnery Sergeant | Gunnery Sergeant
E-6 | Senior Technical Sergeant | Staff Sergeant | Staff Sergeant
E-5 | Technical Sergeant | Sergeant | Sergeant
E-4 | Technical Specialist | Corporal | Corporal
E-3 | Technician 1st Class | Private First Class | Private First Class
E-2 | Technician Apprentice | Private-2 | Private-2
E-1 | Technician* Recruit [4] | Private-1(Recruit) [4] | Private-1(Recruit) [4]

* Technician is a generic term. Usually, the specific titles include the job description (such as Machinist's Mate, etc.).

[1] Note that in the Robotech world, even aircraft and mecha pilots start out as NCOs (albeit corporals, based on the show). However, most pilot types enter OCS on promotion to Staff Sergeant (unless their records indicate they would make poor officers).

[2] There is only one of these per military at any given time. It is primarily a public relations role.

[3] These get slightly better pay than the regular E-8s, and there is only one of these per company. They serve as administrative assistants, though aren't above getting their hands dirty. Command Sergeant Majors serve in similar roles on the division level.

[4] E-1 Ranks are used only during training. Most get promoted beyond it before ever leaving training, and the rest are promoted on reaching their unit. The term "Private" for a non-training unit almost always refers to a Private-2 or Private First Class.

Warrant Ranks (RDF)
W-4: Master Warrant Officer W-3: Senior Chief Warrant Officer W-2: Chief Warrant Officer W-1: Warrant Officer

keep you updated
