Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

Here's the Rank Pips for Picard, straight from the Show's Prop Master...

I guess four pip Admiral is "Fleet Admiral" and five pip is "Starfleet Admiral" or "Starfleet C-in-C"?

I think it is supposed to go two pips is a Rear Admiral, three would be a Vice Admiral, four would be full Admiral, and five would be the C-in-C. With one pip being a Commodore, which they are again using instead of Rear Admiral/Lower Half.

It does have this notation for the five star Admiral...

* The rank of Fleet Admiral has been reserved for war time use only. The last Fleet Admirals were in World War II. Fleet Admirals during that war were Chester W. Nimitz, William D. Leahy, Ernest J. King, and William F. Halsey.
 
Anyone remember Star Trek Beyond, when Vice Admiral was below Commodore and explictly a "position" not a rank?

As I recall it, Kirk was applying for a specific position that entailed promotion and was based at Yorktown Station. Nothing explicitly says he would've been subordinate to the Commodore or that his rank would be contingent on staying in that position forever. As far as I can recall, nothing in the movie ever even says the officer he's talking to is even a Commodore in the first place, though the bts people apparently decided she was for some reason.
