Originally they were also found on the skill tables, where they could be rolled for with increasing chance the higher rank you held. That part probably fell away with the free choosing and determination of skills with class levels. In addition, I don't think a "Force Commander" is that high to warrant a that kind of social standing. A Major in the Imperium's vast array of troops is not really much. It could be different if he had served within a planetary military organization, but IIRC the Imperial military even shifted troops around on purpose so couldn't bond too tightly with the locals. Guess the slew of civil wars told them it would better that way. Folkert</blockquote>
