Introduced to BT in high school. I don't play very often anymore, but I do still read all the sourcebooks and keep up with what's going on in the universe.

Cheat Sheet for Adding References to articles
Enter text as normal. To get the superscripted reference number, put <ref>[[Link (if available) to relevant source]], p. <i>NN</i></ref>
Now, for the page to know it needs to put together the reference list, need to add an H2 and special tag, like this:
==References==
<references />

Would like to see comparison of all military ranks, complete with Western Alliance (NATO) ranks for comparison. To that end, I created a new category, Category:Military Ranks, which will hopefully capture all the information.
AFFS Military Rank Insignia
2009-11-16: Just created a PhotoShop document that creates AFFS officer rank insignia per House Davion Sourcebook, with colors from Handbook: House Davion. Uploading small images here until I figure out where to put them.

CCAF Military Rank Insignia
25 November 2009: Just finished a Photoshop document with CCAF ranks. Adding to this page until I can get them out to the correct BTW pages. (NOTE: CCAF Naval officer ranks use the same terms and insignia, but add the prefix Kong to the rank.)
Warrior House Ranking Conventions
Much like they are a rank apart from the CCAF as a whole, the Warrior Houses employ their own unique ranking convention. However, like the CCAF under the tenets of Xin Sheng, the ranks and their names have been altered:
| Old Rank | New Rank |
|---|---|
| House Master | Shiao-zhang (Lord Colonel) |
| Battalion Leader | Ying-zhang (Lieutenant Colonel [Infantry]) |
| Company Leader | Lien-zhang (Major) |
| Lance/Platoon Leader | Pai-zhang (Captain) |
| Squad Leader | Ban-zhang (Lieutenant) |
| Infantryman | Zhang-si (Lance Corporal) |
