NCOs can promote up to Tertius, Division leads can promote up the rank of Primus, and Majoris can promote up to Division lead. Each division lead, Veneratus and Prime Hermaticon are single slots.
- Skitarii need to meet all requirements to get promoted, enlisted promotions are guaranteed, unless there’s reason to deny one. NCO can promote enlisted, SNCO can promote up to NCO, and command can promote up to SNCO. Alpha prime and Marshal are single slots.

- Recon: Adept+

- Medium: Secundus+
- Heavy: Primus+
- Superheavy: Prefectus+
- Arvus: Secundus+

Pac3 Usage
- You may freely change your model as long it makes sense for your rank (no Acolyte having arch-magos models). Avoid having outside augmentation you do not have in RP (such as mechadendrites)
