Cardassian ranks

Legate
Legate is a rank given to members of the Central Command and high-ranking flag officers in the Cardassian military. This rank is roughly equivalent to a Starfleet Admiral.

Gul
Gul is a military rank held by the commander of a vessel or installation. The rank's closest approximation is a Starfleet Captain. Each Cardassian Order is led by a Gul. A ship's Gul will routinely take a cut of the profits from the cargo that his or her ship is transporting. Guls are often expected to entertain guests aboard their ships.

Glinn
Glinn is a military rank below Gul, probably a junior officer grade. Often times, two Glinns will report to a Gul (given the Cardassian penchant for organizing in threes).

Gil
Gil was a Cardassian rank below a glinn, possibly a junior or noncommissioned officer.

Nor-class space stations carried lifeboat accommodations for ranking Cardassian officers of gil-level or above. ()
