Just an update in regards to this screenplay:
Since I’m operating on the idea that Starfleet is a combined military force – not the Federation’s navy, army, air force, or marines, but all of the above – I’ve decided to abandon the use of a strictly naval ranking system for the Starfleet characters; I have formulated my own amalgamated ranking system, revising the screenplay to the reflect that. Basically, what this means is that while the captains remain captains, the commodores commodores, and the lieutenants lieutenants, the admiral is now a general, the commanders are now colonels, the lieutenant commanders are now majors, and so on.
And, on that note, I guess now’s as good a time as any to give you all a detailed chart of the Starfleet rank insignia I’ve devised for this reboot.
Breastpins are on the left, sleeve braids on the right.
