Senior Jaffa can progress from planetary commands to brigades and divisions, with Ha'tak executive and command appointments forming additional steps. The scheme must define precedence between an embarked brigadier and the ship's own officers instead of leaving authority ambiguous. Successful human regimental commanders can move into planetary garrison or ministerial posts. Knighthoods and privileges such as settling on Jaffa worlds, forming family ties, or eventual elevation of a family offer further rewards. Parallel but unequal ladders give both groups reasons to serve while preserving the ruler's control over the appointments that confer status.
