Argosy Ranks
So, I being me, I realized in the middle of writing the S3 finale that I need ranks for the Argosy. Because such things are important, and those in place for the Lantean Guard don't quite work, as they had no enlisted ranks.
A large portion of the existing structure can remain, but here's what I've got so far for the officers:
The main addition is the proconsules between the praetor and legati, largely because I felt there needed to be a rank between Lorne, who is the praetor at this point, and all the people who will be commanding ships in the Argosy, because there are a lot of ships. Ergo, Procounsul. I've also removed the lictores from the bottom of the rung, because their function is largely replaced by those of the enlisted, below:
The point of this is mostly for my own reference - there's no real use for any of this, except in passing, but it's there. Here it is. Enjoy.

| Alteran | Translation | Equivalent |
| Praetor | Praetor | General |
| Proconsul | Deputy | Brigadier General |
| Legatus / Narvarchus | Legate / Captain | Colonel / Captain |
| Tribunus | Tribune | Major |
| Vicarius | Proxy | Lieutenant |
