Commander star placement for an SLDF commander?
« on: 30 April 2024, 01:18:41 »
Its mentioned that SLDF division commanders have a single star on the mech somewhere to denote its status.  Where would it normally be at on a mech?  And would it be in more than one location?

Out of curiosity, where is it mentioned?

(I am assuming this is different from the Cameron star which presumably appears on all SLDF units)

I can't remember where I read it, but I swear I once saw something saying SLDF mechwarriors put rank insignia on the backs of their machines.

When the Star League says they're there for the benefit of ALL of humanity, that includes their enemies! :grin:
