Rank Structure & Insignia |
|
|
|
|
|
Due to their Star League origins, the Blackhawks retain the basic SLDF structure and insignia. Additional ranks have been added to meet the needs of the Blackhawks. Changes were also made to the insignia in honor of the lost Star League. Enlisted ranks were colored black to mourn the Star League, and all ranks are bordered in red in honor of the blood of their fallen SLDF comrades. |
