The [[Cardassian]] rank system is based on at least three known ranks (legate, gul, and glinn). It is assumed that while Cardassians may hold the same rank, it is the nature of their duties that defines their military hierarchy (e.g. prefect of a territory, commander of an Cardassian military, etc.).

==Military Ranks==
Cardassian military ranks are similar to those used by the [[United Federation of Planets]], but with some key differences. For example a Legate is similar to an Admiral, but with considerably more political sway.

The Cardassian Central Command uses a system of hierarchical ranks, which is the same for all branches of the service. A garresh is the lowest-ranked soldier, the rank where all new recruits start. Garresh make up the vast bulk of the military. They are individually ranked on a five-number scale. The lowest commissioned rank is that of gil (sometimes seen as kel), followed by glinn, dalin, dal, and gul.

Officers must generally hold a rank of at least glinn to be given command of a department on board a starship or within a unit. Larger vessels and units require dalin or dal level officers. Guls are the rough equivalent of Starfleet captains. They are the majority of the commanding officers in Central Command, controlling starships and bases, and serving as prefects and planetary governors throughout the client worlds of the Union. Many guls are quite influential, building up extensive vesala networks. Jaguls and Legates are the equivalent of Starfleet admirals, commanding entire Battalions and Orders.

The Cardassian military is divided into Enlisted ranks, Commissioned ranks and Flag ranks.
 Gorrs and Garreshs belong to the Enlisted ranks.
 Gils, Glinns, Dalins, Dals and Guls belong to the Commissioned ranks.
 Jaguls and Legates belong to the Flag ranks.
