RPHX Fleet Rank Guide

Purpose:
The ranks below are all of the ranks available to the members and symbolize the core of our Brotherhood. All members should be very familiar with the requirements stated below and must weigh those requirements as benchmarks for Nomination, Approval and Promotion of Brothers and Sisters of the RPHX.

Note:
1) The ranks below which are displayed on Teamspeak, does not pertain to any in-game ranks, only as the RPHX fleet as a whole.
2) In-game ranks are only given out by the CO pertaining to that gaming division.

Note:
There is no provision in this document or any other document sanctioned by the Brotherhood that alleviates, dismisses, looks away or “turns a blind eye” to any infraction of the basic RPHX Code of Member Conduct. All RPHX members must follow the CoC.

This guide is to be used in every event when placement or promotion is in question.
