Colonel (pronounced KUR-nal) is a military rank, the equivalent of which is used by the service organizations of many civilizations.


As a traditional grade, colonel is the most senior officer rank of a fighting organization, below the flag rank of general and senior to the rank of major.

In comparison, this rank is equivalent to the Romulan Star Empire's commander grade, the Ferengi Alliance's DaiMon, and the Cardassian Union's title of gul.

  • Some rank systems have an additional grade, lieutenant colonel, which falls between colonel and major.


This grade exists in some form in many cultures' rank arrangements, such as the Klingon Defense Force, and the United States' armed forces of Earth.

  • In the Bajoran Militia, a colonel wore a silver Bajoran insignia pin on the collar.
  • In the Romulan Tal Shiar organization, a colonel wore a collar insignia of a gold triangle with two crescents lined up against it.
