The 9th Imperial Fleet offers several membership levels, depending on a member’s role, activity, and level of responsibility within the association. For day-to-day membership, the three key categories are: Supporting Member, Regular Member, and Imperial Senator.
All new members join the Navy Line branch at the rank of Ensign. Further promotions are assigned by High Command and branch heads, based on the member’s activity, contribution, and participation in the association.
Supporting Member
Supporting Members contribute to the association through work, material support, or financial support. This membership type is intended for individuals or entities who want to be part of the community and support the development of the 9th Imperial Fleet without taking part in the association’s governing decisions.
Supporting Members may participate in association activities, but they do not have voting rights and cannot be elected to association bodies. Their rank progression is available up to Lt. Commander.
Regular Member
Regular Members form the active membership base of the association. They participate in the work and activities of the 9th Imperial Fleet, have access to official communication channels, may use association resources and content, and can be elected to association bodies.
For 2026, the annual membership fee for Regular Members is €25. Regular Members also receive additional benefits, including vendor discounts and access to the members’ library, which includes comics, books, and other member-only materials.
Regular Members may progress through the full rank system of the association, up to the rank of Fleet Admiral, depending on their activity and contribution.
Imperial Senator
Imperial Senator is a status granted to exceptionally active Regular Members who have made a significant contribution to the association. Imperial Senators retain all rights and benefits of Regular Members, including access to member benefits, vendor discounts, and the members’ library.
In addition, Imperial Senators have voting rights in the Imperial Senate, the association’s General Assembly. This allows them to participate directly in important decisions and help guide the future development of the 9th Imperial Fleet.
For 2026, the annual membership fee for Imperial Senators is also €25.

Promotions and ranks
The rank system of the 9th Imperial Fleet is based on activity, contribution, and involvement in the association. Members begin as Ensign in the Navy Line branch, while promotions are assigned by High Command and branch heads.
Ranks are therefore more than titles — they represent a member’s engagement, reliability, and contribution to the fleet.
The full list of ranks and branches within the 9th Imperial Fleet organizational structure is available on the Ranks and Branches page.

Whether supporting from the background, actively participating as a Regular Member, or helping shape the association through the Imperial Senate, every member has a place and purpose within the 9th Imperial Fleet.
