However it is never said that Cain was 5th Fleet's Commander. Cain is an independent operator and this would slow his promotions.

Full Colonels do not address one another as "sir". However all Colonels (even Lt. Colonels) are addressed as "Colonel" or "sir" by lower ranking staff. On the other hand, since Tigh had been temporarily installed as commander of ''Pegasus'', Tolen would have to address him as sir&mdash;even if they were the same rank (so there may not be a rank of 'Lieutenant Colonel').</ref>

==Notes==
*[[Omega]] is an officer as he has rights to the [[Officer's Club]]. We do not know what kind because the series ended after one network season. Omega could have been a '''warrant officer''' or a '''Lieutenant'''.
