The character has a military rank, with all the privileges and responsibilities that entails. If they belong to UNIT but do not have this trait they are considered to be regular enlisted soldiers (Privates or Corporals).
As a Minor Trait, the character is a Sergeant.
As a Major Trait, they are a Lieutenant. With the permission of the Gamemaster, a player may begin higher than a Lieutenant, with good back story justification and by purchasing the trait additional times. The table below summarises ranks. The Special version of this trait (cost: 6 character points, 1 Story Point) also gives the Friends (Government and Military) trait to represent the officer’s political and military connections.
