| The DSF is organised into two sections; the [[Dlarit Navy]] and the [[Dlarit Army]]. The Dlarit Navy is tasked with the protection of the [[Orian system]] and its neighbouring spacelanes. The Dlarit Army, by large, provides day-to-day security and policing among the colonies set up throughout the system. Members of the army also serve as marines and starfighter pilots onboard some of the vessels of the Dlarit Navy. | | The DSF is organised into two sections; the [[Dlarit Navy]] and the [[Dlarit Army]].

| The commander-in-chief of the DSF is the [[Viceroy (Dlarit Corporation)|viceroy]].

In practice, however, the viceroy usually delegates responsibility to the [[Governor General (Dlarit Corporation)|governor general]]. In turn, the governor general will normally appoint an [[Adjutant General (Dlarit Corporation)|adjutant]] from the military to advise him and handle ordinary day to day issues. The [[Lieutenant Governor (Dlarit Corporation)|lieutenant governor]] serves as the governor-generals deputy and represents him when he is unavailable. It is not uncommon for the lieutenant governor to double as the adjutant general or else hold a senior commission of his or her own. | | The commander-in-chief of the DSF is the [[Viceroy (Dlarit Corporation)|viceroy]].

| The Dlarit Navy is headed by the [[Fleet Commander (Dlarit Corporation)|fleet commander]], normally holding the rank of admiral, junior fleet commanders may only hold the rank of rear admiral (in practice the higher ranks such as high admiral are not used by the DSF, although a truly exceptional fleet commander may be awarded the rank of fleet admiral). Together with a small army of staff officers the fleet commander is aided by the individual ship captains. Despite technically being a member of the Dlarit Army the commander of the starfighter corps also reports to the fleet commander not the chief of staff of the army. | | The Dlarit Navy is headed by the [[Fleet Commander (Dlarit Corporation)|fleet commander]].

| The [[Chief of Staff (Dlarit Corporation)|chief of staff]] of the Dlarit Army is usually held by a general of some sort, usually a major general but occassionally a full general. Due to the diversity of operations performed by the army the lower subdivisions are not quite as standardised as in the navy. The head of the armed forces on [[Sepros]] may be a colonel whereas the head of the forces on [[Tarthos]] might only be a major. Where the navy's organisation is more dependent on the class of ship the army is almost entirely based on the number of soldiers under a particular officer's command. | | The [[Chief of Staff (Dlarit Corporation)|chief of staff]] heads the Dlarit Army.

| The breakdown of the lower levels of the navy depends on the nature of the ship or ships in question. On capital ships all junior officers will follow the enlisted system of the navy from junior crewman up to master chief petty officer. The starfighter corps operates slightly differently. Due to the level of prestige associated with individual pilots even the lowest flight officer is still considered the equivalent of a naval ensign. | | The breakdown of the navy depends on the nature of the ship or ships in question.

| The enlisted soldiers of which the army comprises range from the lowest rank of recruit to the highest of sergeant major. The bulk will be privates with the higher grades applicaple to the level of seniority of the individual soldier. These ranks are also used extensively by the Dlarit Police, a subdivision of the Dlarit Army charged with maintaining civilian law and order, although often the exact meaning behind them will be slightly different—the exact order however remains the same. | | The soldiers of the army range from the lowest rank of recruit to the highest of sergeant major.

| Beyond the regular ranking system of the armed forces there are also a range of courtesy and brevet titles bestowed from time to time, particularly during war time. While not formally holding any rank it is usual for governors to be regarded as brevet admirals or generals, reflecting their authority over their particular jurisdictions. The viceroy himself is essentially a ''de facto'' admiral and general but is almost never refered to in this way.
| |
|
| |
| For comparison purposes one could liken this to the placement of Moff in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Galactic Empire]'s chain of command. Though regarded by convention as a rank in itself, formally most Moffs derived their legal authority from their status as high admirals or surface marshals, despite this they were almost always still addressed as Moff (or Grand Moff where applicable).
| |
|
| |
| It is common during wartime for brevet ranks to be bestowed on others for numerous reasons. For example, during the Sixth Great Jedi War many of the members of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] recieved temporary brevet commissions when most of the Dlarit Army was deployed to [[Antei]]. Following the wars conclusion and the return of the army to ordinary duties around the Orian system these ranks once again disappeared. It should be noted, however, that since the introduction of [[D-SOG]] the use of brevet commissions has declined.

| In standard terms the Dlarit Navy is considered a "squadron"—a unit suitable for policing a single star system. The next step up is a "systems force" and, as its name implies, it would handle the security of several systems not just the one.

| The head of the navy, the fleet commander, is by definition always an admiral of some sort. This normally means a rear or vice admiral. The more senior ranks of systems, fleet, high and grand admiral are not used. | |
| | |
| The main backbone of the navy is made up by its capital ships which are arranged into a number of attack lines. These lines are generally commanded by a captain of the line, though it is not uncommon for a captain of the line to be promoted to rear admiral. Each line is then broken down into its individual ship commands, usually a ship's captain will hold the actual naval rank of captain as well although those officers commanding only smaller vessels such as friates or corvettes will often only hold the rank or commander or lieutenant. The ships crewmen then follow the line of enlisted ranks with regard to their particular position.
| |
|
| |
|
| Attached to the navy are also the marine corps and the starfighter corps, both divisions of the Dlarit Army. The head of the marine or starfighter corps is usually a colonel of some sort. The marine corps is fairly basic, following the standard army layout described in the next section as far as is relevant to the transport capacity of the ship. The starfighter corps, however, is slightly more involved.

| The head of most starfighter wings is usually a low level colonel or major. Each wing is then broken down into a number of starfighter squadrons, the exact tally of which depending on the capacity of the carrier ship (if applicable) and the size of the individual squadrons. Most squadrons normally operate with twelve craft but this is not always the case and changes with the needs of individual missions. Single starfighter squadrons are usually led by a captain but can be commanded by a major or even up to a colonel depending on their size and status. | | Attached to the navy are the marine and starfighter corps, both divisions of the Dlarit Army.

|
| Starfighter squadrons are further broken down into flights and wing-pairs. A lieutenant is usually assigned to each flight but sometimes even a captain or major is assigned to just a single flight. Each flight of (normally) four starfighters is then split up into wing-pairs of two craft each. The head of a wing-pair is normally a lieutenant who will assist their wingmate who will often only be a junior flying officer.

| The Dlarit Army is officially classified as a "battlegroup" in size. In Imperial terminology a battlegroup was deemed sufficient resources to hold a planet. Though the DSF is charged with the security of an entire star system the lack of development on most planets beyond a handful of small colonies has limited the demand on army personnel.

| | |
| The chief of staff of the army is usually some rank of general. The more senior ranks of high general, surface marshal and grand general are, like with the Dlarit Navy, not in use by the DSF. | |
| | |
| Unlike the navy which is interested in the size of the ship under an individual officer's command the army is more concerned with the number of men. While there is room for promotion or reassignment the army generally follows a standard pattern. Battlegroups of around ten-thousand men are commanded by senior colonels, regiments of four-thousand by junior colonels, battalions of around a thousand by majors, companies of a few hundred by captains and platoons of several dozen by lieutenants.
| |
|
| |
|
| Platoons are broken down into a number of squads, each led by a sergeant. The grade of the sergeant can depend on numerous factors from the size of the squad, age, experience, prestige and so on. The lieutenant in charge himself is normally assisted by a sergeant major. Each squad, usually consisting on about five to ten men, is then broken down into fire teams or, in the case of scout units, lances. These fire teams and lances are then usually commanded by a corporal.

| In the civilian law enforcement branches of the Dlarit Army the exact organisation is a little different. The individual police officers usually still follow the standard enlisted ranks but the size of officer commands is not the same as in the army proper. It is not uncommon for a colonel in charge of a planet's police to have far less men under his command than he would in a battlegroup or regiment itself. This reflects the number of civilian personnel assisting the police as well as the number of tasks managed by droids rather than pure flesh and blood. In many of the deep mining colonies there may only be a handful of actual police officers, the vast majority of the "police" being droids.
