Political Branch

The political wing is the first branch of LMG. It is headed by a single Chief Political Officer, the UberCrid (O2). The UberCrid is appointed by the Baron, and holds the power to veto any Guild action not effected by the Baron himself. The rank of UberCrid is equal in grade & pay to Acolyte and SubLOAF, although it carries a technical seniority over the other two.

The UberCrid holds direct command over a cadre of four SubCrids (O1), who act as advisors. SubCrids are appointed by the Baron with the consent of the UberCrid, or vice versa. As a SubCrids are typically assigned to field operations, they are often utilized as advisors by the Baron himself. SubCrids are equal in grade and pay to Brigands and SubTre's, although the rank carries a technical seniority. Due to the importance of the rank, no SubCrid position may be left unfilled.

(Note: in the event that the position of UberCrid is dissolved (see above) the four SubCrids will be promoted to O2 status and be awarded extra duties.)

Also attached to the political wing are the newly formed enlisted position, Cyons (E3). All Cyons are promoted from promising candidates among the pool of existing Disgruntled Men. There may be no more than five Cyons at any one time, and all are appointed by existing SubCrids. An enlisted Guildsman must have reached the rank of Cyon before being considered for officer training.

Military Branch

A pair of Acolytes (O2) have direct command over the military branch of the Guild, which consists of highly trained Brigand officers and a cadre of enlisted Disgruntled Men. Although the term 'Acolyte' seems to connote a religious idea, none exists in actuality: the Acolytes are experienced military officers apointed to the position by the Baron. The two Acolytes are equal in seniority, and are expected to work both together and individually to present options to the Baron. The position is equal in grade and pay to SubCrid and SubLOAF, although it is the 'middle ground' of the three with regards to seniority. The Acolytes each command a group of five Brigands.

The rank of Brigand (O2) is divided into two different positions: First Brigand and SubBrigand. The position of 'First Brigand' is honorary, and one holding said rank posseses no technical seniority over the other nine Brigands. The position is filled based In practice, the First Brigand is usually assigned higher level command duties as a result of his experience.

Although all three branches gain officer candidates from the pool of Disgruntled Men (E1), it is the Military Branch which holds direct line of succession (and therefore direct command) over the DM. The Guild is planned for nominal operations with twenty DM slots, although more or less can exist depending on situational demands. Disgruntled Men are volunteers accepted from every walk of life -- any individual may be trained and put into service as a Disgruntled Man.

Engineering Branch

The Engineering Branch of the Guild is, according to official literature, responsible for "all Grand Works". It was with this in mind that the Baron created the position of SubLOAF (O2) and staffs it with only the very best officers. Although SubLOAF is, according to the chain of command, inferior to an UberCrid or an Acolyte it is the only position created for someone with broad and expansive knowledge. Those commanding and staffing the engineering branch must be 'jacks of all trades', capable of lending their skill and experience to combat and non-combat situations alike.

The SubLOAF holds command over a group of five SubTres, named for the first (and to date) only SubLOAF. SubTre's are appointed only by the SubLOAF, and are to be decided upon based on their ability to replace the SubLOAF should the need arise. Only the most trusted, promising officers are made SubTre.

The SubTre's collectively hold dominion over a group of Centaurians (E2), who are promoted from Disgruntled Men for their experience in 'behind the scenes'-type operations.

Other Positions

The rank, pay and purpose of other positions, such as the Dismal Legionnaire and the HadriBrain are classified. All operate outside the chain of command, reporting only to the Baron himself.
