The ranks of the Reydovan Military Body are based on the Starfleet system devised in the 2360s, but only the names are changed somewhat. The uniforms are based more on American Civil War-era officer's uniforms (with the two rows of buttons down the middle), and they are royal blue in color. A Marshal of the Reydovan Empire or a Grand Admiral may choose any style as long as it "looks military", and may also choose to wear white. Senior officers - usually above the rank of Commodore or Brigadier General, depending on the branch - may also choose to wear epaulets.
