Militärische Ränge (RDM)

Aus Battlestar Wiki

Die Rangstruktur für die Neuauflage von Battlestar Galactica leitet sich von der Original Serie ranks ab, wie in Ronald D. Moore's Blog erwähnt wird.


Rangordnung

Diese Ränge wurden spekulativ erweiert um ein ungefähres Äquivalenz mit der United States Navy anbieten zu können. Viele Aspekte der folgenden Tabelle sind spekulativ.
Im echten Leben werden Vergleiche mit Rängen gewöhnlicherweise nur eingeführt wenn zwei Organisationen mit verschiedenen Rangstrukturen zusammenarbeiten um anzuzeigen wer über wem steht. Da das zwischen der Kolonialen Flotte und dem United States Militär ja offensichtlich nicht der Fall ist, existiert die folgende Tabelle hauptsächlich, um das Verständis der Kolionialen Ränge für jene, die mit Rängen des United States Militärs oder ähnlich strukturierten Organisationen vertraut sind, zu erleichtern. Wie auch immer, der Schwerpunkt liegt beim Vergeben der Ränge im angebrachten Ort im BSG Universum. Deswegen passen sie nicht perfekt zu den modernen Rängen. Die Offiziers Ränge des Kolonialen Marine Chors müssen erst noch in der Serie, oder von offiziellen Stellen bekanntgegeben werden und werden hier nicht angeführt.

These pictures were created by Jim Stevenson a.k.a. "137th Gebirg". Insignia for the other ranks have yet to be shown on screen and thus aren't listed here.

Senior Officers' ranks can also be identified by the color of the piping on their uniforms.

Notes

  • In a blog entry on February 19, 2005 Ronald Moore gave a little insight into the rank structure of Battlestar Galactica:

"What is the rank structure? It doesn't seem consistant with the Navy."

"The rank structure is derived from the original series. I didn't want to change Commander Adama to Captain Adama or Colonel Tigh to Commander Tigh, so I elected to simply embrace the co-mingled nature of the original rank structure. For our internal purposes, we've decided that the ranks are indeed a mixture of naval and army nomenclature and are basically as follows:

Offiziere:

  • Admiral
  • Commander
  • Colonel
  • Major
  • Captain
  • Lieutenant
  • Lieutenant (junior grade)
  • Ensign

Enlisted:

  • Master Chief Petty Officer
  • Chief Petty Officer
  • Petty Officer (1st, 2nd Class)
  • Specialist
  • Deck Hand
  • Recruit

Just to complicate matters further, there are also Marines aboard Galactica which conform more closely to the traditional enlisted Marine ranks, with Sergeants, Sergeant-Majors, etc. Unresolved is the question of whether the Marine officers would also adhere to the mixed rank structure (which sounds odd) or if they are strictly army equivalents (which makes no sense given that the "Navy" ranks seem oblivious to there being any such distinction). Aren't you glad you asked?"

  1. 1,0 1,1 Admiral: Corman trägt die selben Admiral Insignien wie Adama und Cain, Aber seine haben eine dicke goldene Umrandung auf der Uniform.
  2. 2,0 2,1 Rear Admiral:
    • In der Extended Version der Episode "Pegasus" bemerkt Adama states "Die Flotte ernannte sie zum Rear Admiral über die Hälfte der Commander auf dieser Liste." Das könnte darauf hindeute, dass Commander im BSG Universum kein Flag Offiziers Rang ist.
    • Ein Standbild von Galactica's Dradis zeigt zwei Sterne neben der Pegasus. Dass lässt vermuten, dass Cain ein Zwei Sterne Admiral ist.
    • Als Adama in "Die Auferstehung, Teil II" zum Admiral befördert wurde waren seine neuen Rang Insignien identisch mit denen von Cain. Sie haben auch zwie goldene Balken an den Seiten, welche das Äquivalent zu den heutigen Sternen eines Rear Admirals sein könnten.
  3. Commander: The rank of Commander is somewhat unclear and encompassed duties of both modern Admirals and Captains. It may be analogous to the rank of "Commodore", which is no longer used in the US Navy.
  4. Helo states his rank as "Lieutenant, Junior Grade" in "33", but he consistantly wears the rank insignia of a full Lieutenant.
  5. 5,0 5,1 The ranks of Senior Chief Petty Officer and Petty Officer 3rd Class do not exist in the Colonial military, according to Ron Moore, but are included here due to matters of equivalency.
  6. 6,0 6,1 In "Litmus" Sergeant Hadrian wears insignia listed here as 'Petty Officer, 1st Class'. While she is a Marine, it is possible that some rank insignia are used in both services.
    Her rank is assumed to be 'Staff Sergeant' which equates to 'Petty Officer, 1st Class'. Placing her one rank lower or higher would create a conflict with the established insignia of 'Petty Officer, 2nd Class' and 'Chief Petty Officer' respectively.
  7. The use of the Lt.jg insignia for the rank of Ensign in episodes like "Scar" and "Dirty Hands" is likely just a costuming necessity. While the costuming department doesn't appear to have produced Ensign insignia yet, the Colonial Military would probably use different ones to distinguish the ranks.
