[edit] General

General was a flag officer rank. Generals wore a dress tunic with epaulets, and wore two gold insignia pins on either side of their collar.

• General Hazar
• General Krim

[edit] Colonel

Colonels wore a silver Bajoran symbol on the collar as a rank insignia.

• Colonel Kira Nerys
• Colonel Lenaris Holem

[edit] Field colonel

In Earth terminology, field rank referred collectively to the ranks of major, lieutenant colonel and colonel in the army or marines, and also brigadier in applicable armies; field commissions were given to enlisted soldiers to make them commissioned officers. Field colonels wore a gold Bajoran insignia with one hemisphere colored black as a rank insignia.

• Field Colonel Day Kannu

[edit] Major

Majors wore a solid gold-colored rank insignia on their collar.

• Major Jatarn
• Major Kira Nerys

First lieutenants were often referred to as "lieutenant."

[edit] Second lieutenant

[edit] Enlisted personnel

Bajoran enlisted personnel were given rates similar to Starfleet. They generally did not wear rank insignia and their rank was denoted by both their collar size and the color of their clothing.

[edit] Background

The Star Trek Encyclopedia, second edition, proposes that the ranks below major are captain, lieutenant, lieutenant junior grade, and ensign. This system presents variant pins that never appeared on set and quizzically mixes the army ranks with navy terminology – lieutenant junior grade and ensign, which were never used or referred to during the series.
