[edit] Bajoran colonels
Could Bajorans have three grades of colonel?
In DS9 Season 2, Day Kannu and Li Nalas were wearing a rank pin identical to Kira Nerys's major insignia, but with one hemisphere filled in with a darker color. Day, in particular was IDed as a "field colonel", and Li was not portrayed as outranking his Starfleet commander, indicating their grades weren't higher than the Cmdr. equivalent lieutenant colonel. Later that season, Lenaris Holem wore a colonel insignia, which was the plain (un-filled in) gold insignia, with an additional gold ring around the outside.
Years later, Kira wore a plain silver version of the (again, unfilled in) gold rank pin, but without the outer ring.
Anyone have any thoughts? -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 18:48, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tal'Shiar
Is Koval wearing Colonel's pins in this picture?
[edit] What?
Colonel West however, wore a the uniform of a Starfleet flag grade officer. The thin gold piping on the chest flap of his uniform suggests that he was senior to an ordinary Starfleet captain. It is possible that here the rank was intended to be an abbreviation for colonel general, a rank used in some armed forces and falling between a lieutenant general and general.
