Uhlan

Uhlan is approximately equal to a Starfleet Crewman. This rank was held by Neral when he first joined the Romulan military. In 2368, as proconsul, he stated that he never liked titles since being a "lowly uhlan in the Romulan Guard." (TNG: "Unification II") It is unknown whether Uhlan is a ground forces (infantry) or fleet (navy) rank.

This chart shows only general equivalencies based on the ranks used by many governments on Earth, as well as the rest of the galaxy.
