* ''Literature/TheKeptManOfThePrincessKnight'': The {{Adventure Guild}}s rank adventurers from one to seven stars in ascending order of power, with seven-star adventurers being practically superheroes, and correspondingly extremely rare. Before being cursed, protagonist Matthew was a member of the only all-seven-star party in the land, the Million Blades.



* Militar ranks are a bit complicated in ''Literature/RedRising'' and ''Literature/IronGold'' on account of the FantasticCasteSystem. Gray Legionnaires use standard military ranks, and Blue Captains are simply in charge of a ship's day-to-day operations. It's Gold naval ranks that start to diverge from reality:

* Militar ''Literature/TheOccupationSaga'': Most Shil'vati ranks are translated as their NATO equivalents, with the exception of "champion", which protagonist Jason Linford acquires in book three.

* The aliens of ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}''. ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'':
**
The Yeerks have Sub-Visser and Visser, both warlords called vissers, followed by number designations (Visser Three, sub-vissers. Both have a numerical designation: Visser One, Sub-Visser 56) One is the highest ranking, BigBad Visser Three is a few steps below her, etc. EarlyInstallmentWeirdness implied a more elaborate system.
** The Andalites: Ax is an ''aristh,'' basically meaning a cadet, who would eventually graduate into a warrior. Warriors are subject to "Princes," which has nothing to do with royalty--hence why Ax [[RunningGag insists]] on referring to the team's leader as "Prince Jake." War Princes are next up,
and the Andalites have Aristh (cadet),Prince, Prince Commander, War Prince and probably others.Ax also mentions "great leaders," who seem to be democratically elected.
