The Royal Marines of Clarion, White Light currently have about 300 personnel and a militia of four ships (three assault scouts and a frigate). Ships of the Royal Marines carry the designation CMS which stands for Clarion Militia Ship. Only 50 of the Marines are actual crew members; the remainder are station-based support personnel, such as technicians, computer programmers, boarding parties and station police. The color scheme of the Royal Marines is light green on a black field. Ranks appears as light green pins on black shoulder pads and arm sleeves, both with light green trim.
The hierarchy of rank among Royal Marine personnel is outlined below:
Commander - The commander is the highest ranking officer in the Royal Marines. Only one individual holds this rank at any one time. The commander of the Royal Marines is usually a member of Clarion's royalty.
Captain - Three officers currently hold captain's rank: the captain of the frigate Leo and two officers on the Commander's staff.
Lieutenant - The officers in command of the assault scouts hold this rank, as do many officers on the Commander's staff.
Junior Lieutenant - Most of the skilled crew members aboard the Royal Marines ships are Jr. Lieutenants. These officers operate ships' weapons, or lead the boarding parties.
Midshipman - These are the rookies among the Royal Marine officers. Unlike Crewmen, officers are trained to become skilled with running a ship.
