Category:Legion Organization

While the Moose Legion lacks the strict, formal ranking systems present in the UEE or the Xian Empire, certain positions and political structures do exist, to smooth and simplify organization. Movement within these structures is easy and results in a dynamic, fluid system that can act independantly and react quickly to changing situations.

Designations
While the Legion does not recognize a military ranking system, it does record members under a number of designations that specify certain rights and privilages.

Flagellants
The "lowest" designation within the Legion is that of Flagellant. Flagellants are criminals according to Moose Legion law who have commited crimes deemed unforgivable by a court, usually the Grand Alactors themselves. Most Flagellants are only given their designation after being found guilty of rape, genocide, cultural genocide, slave ownership, or class abuse. Flagellants are tortured regularly, and usually mutilated in a manner deemed ironic or amusing given their particular crimes, such as a human supremacist being altered to appear Xian or Banu.

Raptors
The designation of "Raptor" is given to criminals whose crimes are deemed unacceptable but not abhorrent in the same way as a Flagellant's. Raptors consist primarily of murderers, gang-bosses, or assassins against the Grand Alactors. While some are able to earn imprisonment depending on the severity of the crime, most are summarily excecuted.

Penitents
One of the most common designations in the Legion, Penitents are criminals who have been found guilty of serious but understandable or forgivable crimes. Pirates, thieves, con artists, and hard drug dealers swell these ranks, and serve as basic maintenence crew within the Legion. Eventually, Penitents are given the option to go free or enter the initiation process, and a surprisingly high number choose the latter. Full page here.

Serfs
Serfs are inhabitants of Legion controlled settlements, or are otherwise contributors to the Legion while living outside their borders, who have not chosen to join a specific crew.

Initiates
The most basic designation within the Legion, Initiates are members of the Legion who join willingly, and have chosen a crew and taken a new Callsign. Full page here.

Little Alcators
Within crews that consist of five or more members, Little Alcators are elected. Rather than having a single captain, the Legion splits the responsibility of rule between three people. Little Alcators are given the responsibility of making executive decisions within the ship, and serve as representatives of their crews during HyperMoots. Unlike the Grand Alcators, Little Alcators are elected by their crews.

Grand Alcators
The highest position in the Legion, Grand Alcators serve as the ultimate executive body of the organization. Each respective Alcator is able to chose their own heir, but these are required to fit a number of requirements. For example, heirs must have lived for at least two years with the Alcator, and be approved by both the other two Alcators and the HyperMoot.
