::So an entire branch of the military has no ranks. Hmm. This kind of seems like a bad move considering that militaries that have done this in the past always go back to using ranks due to difficulties with command and control.[[User:Sith Venator|Sith-venator Wavingstrider]] [[File:Fett helmet.jpg|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|Commlink]]) 17:44, 19 September 2013 (EDT)

:::It's like they went back to the Stone Age in terms of military organization. Or a hippie commune. I could see this kind of arrangement working in a small, tight-knit elite unit (like the original S-IIs who ''did'' have ranks) but an entire military branch with hundreds, if not thousands of members? I'm wondering where the Spartans fit in the chain of command between different branches; for instance, what is the pay grade of a "Spartan"? Are they subordinate to conventional military commanders in the field? Could the multiplayer "SR" ranks be canon in any capacity or are they just a leaderboard type ranking system? --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|Contribs]]) 00:10, 20 September 2013 (EDT)
