Alliance Contribution

Alliance Civil Government

• Clerks: Rank 0. Simple volunteers seeking to lend a hand in whatever fashion they might, a Civil Government clerk aids the Alliance bureaucracy in whatever way they might, lending various non-military skill sets to the Allliance's efforts. Clerks were frequently placed under the mentorship of a senior Aide.
• Alliance Aides: Rank 1-4. The aides are the rank and file of Alliance bureaucracy, frequently shuffled about as needed: an aide's career may include basic bureaucratic wrangling for anyone from the Chancellor to a particularly pressured Alliance Command post (although Alliance Commands are usually required to staff their own postings). Talented aides–whether diplomats, computer technicians, scholars, or quartermasters–are frequently watched closely and plucked out of general service to lend their talents to a specific Cabinet.
• Ministry Administrator: Rank 5-8. Alliance civil servants of this rank hold positions within specific Alliance Civil Ministries (Finance, Industry, Education, State, Supply, and War). Even those ministries that do not currently have Ministers still function, under the defacto leadership of the Secretary of the Cabinet. Administrators of this ranking are usually assigned work groups of aides and clerks to help get their jobs done.
• Minister: Rank 9-11. Alliance Ministers oversee one of the six core ministries that make the Alliance run. Currently, only three of them (Finance, Industry, and Education) have Ministers. The others run with skeleton crews overseen by the Secretary of the Cabinet.
• Secretary of the Cabinet: Rank 12-13. The Secretary of the Cabinet runs the Alliance Civil Government where the Chancellor cannot. The Secretary has an extensive bureaucracy to aid in their efforts, and the current Secretary, Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan, is already setting an impressive example for future holders of the office.
• Chancellor: Rank 14+. The Chancellor–who is also simultaneously the Commander-in-Chief for the Alliance Forces–is an elected dictatorship. While they have virtually unlimited authority, their decisions can be overturned by the Advisory Council (composed of the highest leadership of both the Civil Government and the Alliance Forces) with a two-thirds majority. This is intended to be a last-ditch means of limiting potential autocrats, as when such a veto occurs, the Chancellor is expected to step down along with it; as such, most such possible issues are solved through compromise and negotiation.

Alliance Forces

• Trainees: Rank 0. Trainees are frequently raw recruits, more fervor than skill. Some may be attached to one of the Alliance branches, but most often they are new voluteers looking to prove themselves in the fight against Imperial oppression.
• Commander-in-Chief: Rank 14+ The Commander-in-Chief acts as the head of the Alliance Military, though they are expected to take the advice of their High Command (the various Allied Commanders, along with the Minister of War) in all decisions.
