Galactic Alliance Defense Force

gaarmy.jpg


The Galactic Alliance's military, called the Galactic Alliance Defense Force, is made up of a strong and unified Navy, Starfighter Corps, and Army. Since its inception, the Galactic Alliance's military has had one goal in mind; defend the freedom of the galaxy's civilians at all costs.

Galactic Alliance Army
Formed out of the remnants of the New Republic Army many centuries ago, and the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet more recently, the Galactic Alliance Army (GAA) is the ground forces of the Alliance's military. The army has two branches, the Infantry and the Scouts, and also utilizes a light gray uniform. The army is made up of highly trained soldiers, who, together with their allies in the Navy, work to fight back against the Empire and their Sith allies. The army is led by the Knights and Masters of the Jedi Order, who serve as commanders and generals during battles.

Galactic Alliance Navy
The Alliance Navy (GAN), like the Army, was formed out of the fleet of the New Republic many centuries before, and more recently was reformed out of the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet. Like its predecessors, Mon Calamari engineering fuels the Alliance fleet, designing awe inspiring vessels to defend Alliance space. Using the latest technology, the Alliance has created new models of the old X and Y-wing designs to fill their starfighter corps. The Navy's job is to defend Alliance space, and, like the Army, defend the freedom of the Alliance's citizens.

Rank and Command Structure

The following is the ranks and command structure for the Galactic Alliance Military starting with the highest rank and ending with the lowest. A green color indicates an Army rank, while a blue color indicates a Naval rank. A yellow color indicates a rank that exists in both branches of the military.

Executive Leadership

Chief of State
The Chief of State is the commander-in-chief of the Alliance's military forces.

High Commander
The High Commander is the person in overall command of military operations within the Galactic Alliance. He or she is appointed by the Chief of State.

Director of Defense
The Director of Defense is the High Commander's assistant in handling military operations. He or she is appointed by the High Commander.

Commissioned Corps

High General / High Admiral
These ranks are the highest achievable rank from any branch of the military. They are appointed based on their leadership skills and military experience. They are in command of military operations spanning entire sectors and report directly to the Director of Defense. A High Admiral will control all regional fleets, while a High General will command all regional ground forces.

General / Admiral
These are the second highest ranks in the Alliance Military. Those that hold these ranks often control entire divisions or fleets respectively. Fierce tacticians and able military minds make up their ranks.

Captain
Captains of both branches are in positions of command, be it over capital-class ships or task forces on the ground. Captains on the ground are usually put in charge of a battalion of Alliance troops, or serve as the Executive Officer of their respective regiments.

Commander
Commanders are just below captains. They command the lesser vessels in a task force within the Alliance's navy and take orders from the captain who leads their task force. In the army, however, commanders serves as the senior officer over a company of troops. They too take orders from captains on the ground.

Lieutenant
Lieutenant is the rank achieved by all those who complete training in the Galactic Alliance Military Academy (GAMA). They are the senior officers over a platoon of soldiers. In the navy, lieutenants serve as Deck Officers for whatever commander is on their ship, though they still out-rank all non-commissioned officers on the vessel. Lieutenants are also officially qualified to man a starfighter, ground-based military-grade tanks, or other important machinery used by the military.

Non-Commissioned Corps

Sergeant
A sergeant is the highest rank of non-commissioned officers in the Military. They are generally seasoned soldiers. Sergeants that prove themselves will be promoted into the enlisted corps and become lieutenants.

Corporal
Corporals are the second lowest rank in the Military's hierarchy due to their inexperience in military combat. They serve as junior non-commissioned officers in a platoon or on a ship. Corporals are also mentors to recruits of the military.

Private / Ensign
The lowest ranks in the Galactic Alliance's Military. Most lack experience in military combat, but they make up the fighting force of the army. Those who hold this rank are encouraged to participate in military training so that one day they may be considered for a higher position in the Alliance's military.​
