Cardassian ranks

The Cardassian rank system is based on at least three known ranks (Legate, Gul, and Glinn). We assume that it is the nature of a Cardassian's duties that defines their military hierarchy (e.g. Prefect of a territory, Commander of an Order, etc.).

Legate

Legate is a rank given to members of the Central Command and high-ranking flag officers in the Cardassian military.

• Legate Broca
• Legate Damar
• Legate Dukat
• Legate Goris
• Legate Hovat
• Legate Kell
• Legate Parn
• Legate Turrel

Gul

Gul is a military rank held by the commander of a vessel or installation. Guls may have additional responsibilities, such as leading an Order, or acting as governor of an occupied territory.

A ship's gul will routinely take a cut of the profits from the cargo that his or her ship is transporting. Guls are often expected to entertain guests aboard their ships.

• Gul Dukat
• Gul Garak, Elim
• Gul Madred
• Gul Pirak
• Gul Rusot
• Gul Seltan
• Gul Trepar
• Gul Zarale

Glinn

Glinn is a military rank below Gul. Glinns are often seen serving as first officer, and one Cardassian was promoted directly from Glinn to Gul.

It is also possible that Glinns are mid-ranking officers, equivalent to a Star Fleet commander. Oftentimes, two Glinns will report to a Gul.

• Glinn Boheeka
• Glinn Corak
• Glinn Dukat
• Glinn Lasaran
• Glinn Telak
