Ranks
The ranks of the Armed Forces of Saakalistal are the same among all branches. Each branch is distinguished by a prefix and designated frame colour that surrounds the rank, with Etiva- (ground [black frame]), Aẋuh- (air [white frame]), Vaṡṡ- (sea [blue frame]) or Țket- (steel, [red frame]) before their rank. Ranks are displayed on an enlisted/officer's uniform cap, collar and helmet. Though amongst ranks on the fields, there is barely a difference in war time between for example a sub-lieutenant and a general the biggest difference is rank symbology and this allows higher ranking officials a sort of veil of protection against targeted attacks against them.
