Major

Major is a military rank that represents an officer that is mid-to-upper level of commission, and often acts alongside or just under a Colonel. It is often a parallel to the Naval rank of Commander or Lieutenant Commander.

In Union Service
The rank of Major was virtually exclusive to the Union Marines, with some sporadic use in the Provincial Army. A Major would typically act as a direct aide or second-in-command of a Colonel's regiment, or command a special battalion or detachment. In the Marine Aerospace Division, it came to signify an officer who commanded a special operations unit and who could function as a Wing or Group Commander if the Naval structure necessitated.

Some Krittish Provincial Army units are led by Majors, but these act as independent entities not encompassed by a larger unit.
