	The Platinum Band shares a single system of ranks across all orders in order to promote cohesion and common understanding during combined arms operations while also reducing confusion. This, unfortunately, has the side effect of all but eliminating some historically significant ranks, particularly those associated with the naval tradition. Where possible, these discarded ranks have been retained as titles. Below are tables of the various Fortressian ranks, along with their [~~https~~:~~//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/~~United_States_Army United States Army] and [[wikipedia:United_States_Navy\|United States Navy]] equivalents for comparison.

			====Imperatrix====

			Though civilian control of the armed forces is an important value of the Principality, there may be times when, for military or political reasons, the reigning Princess must be an officer within the Platinum Band. Should this need ever arise, Her Majesty may commission herself with the rank of Imperatrix. This is the highest possible rank within any of the Pillow Fortress armed forces, and may only be held by the reigning Princess, and only for as long as is strictly necessary. The insignia was inspired by the First Princess's use of a diamond as shorthand for "the largest possible number in physical reality" as informed by her ultrafinitist philosophy.
