Republic Army Brigadier
Brigadier generals—known as “brigadiers”—are the highest-ranking officers to see action in the Republic Armies from the Great Sith War to the Mandalorian Wars, so they are often the envy of their deskbound superiors.
That said, brigadiers rarely feel the envy of anyone, as they frequently have to contend with missions out of all proportion to the forces and material available. Crafty brigadiers make do by encouraging their underlings to live off the land, bending—but rarely breaking—local Republic statutes to make sure the mission is accomplished.
Few brigadiers excel in negotiating skills, a hindrance in dealing with the banes of their existence, the mercenary companies and species militias they are often required to work with. Brigadiers so fear the headaches a promotion to general would entail that many famously sabotage their own careers—never in ways that harm their troops, but by saying or doing things that make them politically radioactive. As such, the longest-serving brigadiers in the Republic are a colorful bunch.

Republic Army Officer
Typically holding the rank of sergeant or corporal in the Republic Army, these officers are the field commanders for most Republic troopers. Culled from the best and brightest members of their respective units, many of these officers were commanders in local militias mercenary bands before joining the Republic Army. These officers also receive extensive training with vibroweapons after the Republic realizes that lightsaber-wielding Sith usually target officers first, giving these officers a fighting chance when faced with a Force-using enemy commander.
