ComStar Organizational Structure

ComStar Rank Structure

Each rank supports numberous sub-ranksings and functions. Sub-rankings, or grades, are designated by Roman numerals, with I representing the first-year members of each rank. Each year of an acolyte's tenure within ComStar raises his or her sub-ranking by one; therefore, an adept III represents an adept who has spent three years at that rank within the Order. Promotion to the next rank is granted upon recommendation of a superior, or else occurs automatically upon achieving 25 years - Grade XXV - in a given rank.

The rank and grade classifications are further broken down by Greek letters used to specify each individual's function.

For example, Adept XI-epsilon designates and adept MechWarrior in the Com Guards with eleven years of service. Precentor VIII-rho/rho desigmates a Precentor in ROM's intelligence network who has served at that level for eight years.

As part of her reforms, Primus Mori dropped the ROM designation Omicron (ComStar Internal Obedience/Intelligence) and the Com Guard designation Psi (Spiritual Enlightenment Staff). In the new Order, coercion and indoctrination have no place.
