Neat ideas out there! I like the idea of Roman-style ranks, as it seems to fit CC’s megalomania. In my world though, I don’t necessarily like equating specialties to ranks. It seems likely that most start out as troopers/vipers, but then would specialize and rise through the enlisted ranks there (say e-5 to e-9).
I feel like most Cobra (trooper) officers rise through the ranks, having essentially been battlefield promoted...but they top out around 0-3 ( yup, I know that doesn’t jive with the filecards). Crimson guardsmen are recruited for their existing experience and education, and generally have O4-O6 ranks.
The whole “inner circle” is largely a mob without rank, but it’s universally known that if they tell a trooper to fill their coffee, it better get done. This is reinforced by the fact that that CC often puts these guys in charge of large tactical formations, or trusts them with particularly high value missions. I picture CC a lot like L Ron Hubbard in how he might reward and manipulate his inner circle.
