Battle Rank Titles Explained

[Fear The Amish]

Yeah Trooper refers to Paratroopers also, this might be because airborne divisions became replacements for cavalry basically as well as name similarity.

The VS though have multiple titles that are from Roman military/civilian sector though

Initiate - Temple Initiates were when Rome was a pagan society the name for people that were at the lowest rung of the heirarchy
Adept - once again used in most of the Pagan religions practiced by Romans. Examples would be Cult of Mithras, and Cult of Isis (yes this was originally egyptian but the
Romans took it and ran with it)

Actually just about every one of them that isn't directly related to Roman military refers to ranks in the Pagan pantheon of Rome. Remember that each God/Goddess had an entire hierarchy established to them and that many members of the Roman Pantheon were NOT traditionally roman so had different Hierarchies. Examples would be Mithras (from Persia), Isis (Egyptian), and a multitude of local pagan gods/goddesses that were adopted from the Celtic pantheon. Each of these had their own rituals and holiday's that were lead by officials that all had different names, many of which became latinized.
