Imperial Ranks & Insignia
Special thanks to theforce.net for images used on this page as well as much of the information.


Insignia noted below are those used by the 201st Imperial Legion. These insignia are those used by the forces under Grand Moff Tarkin and the remaining forces following the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin. The insignia noted below are only one of possible three different variations seen throughout the Imperial Command structures. This scheme would have been one used in a regional force such as the one under the command of Grand Moff Tarkin, and is reflective of those under his command during Episode IV, A New Hope.
