View source for Klingon Defense Force Ranks

{{Icons|bfc|kdf}}
The ranks of the [[Klingon Defense Force]] were codified by the Klingon High Command, derived from military titles and ranks of lore and tradition. The militaries of the Great Houses share the rank system, the holders expected to bear equal prestige and authority. This allows for easy cohesion of all Klingon military forces should the KDF gather the Deep Space Fleet.
