This chart shows only general equivalencies based on the ranks used by many governments on Earth, as well as the rest of the galaxy.

Background information

The Vulcan rank system seems to have been similar to Romulan ranks, including the use of sub-commander and sublieutenant.

The ranks of commander and lieutenant have never been referenced on-screen.
