Social Segments / Status Ladders

Social segments and status ladders - AUSMAX - prisoners –

Each faction operates with a similar rank structure broken down into four tiers.

Associates - the lowest tier, the fourth tier, these are new arrivals, and loaners, those that have never formerly pledged allegiance to an official faction.

Foot Soldiers - The grunts of each faction, they do the dirty work (Harassing or ambushing or raiding other factions camps/territories for supplies.

Capos/Lieutenants - Capos control platoon to company sized elements of prisoners. They serve the agenda of the boss, however they have some level of autonomy in declaring objectives for the faction.

Bosses - These are the top tier positions in the different factions, bosses are the shot callers, they are the leaders, the governors of each faction. Some factions you reach this position by merit, some you reach by force, some you reach by leverage or manipulation. Either way at this level you live like a king amongst peasants. The smart leaders share the wealth and lead from the front.

AFTER THE BOMBING OF AUSMAX (To include Virgin Isle)

Reformers - "The Captain"'s loyal followers, when one of our protagonists embarks on his journey of resistance they are his loyal followers after the bombing of the resistance. They occupy most coastal areas. And install training camps for the prisoners who truly seek rehabilitation.
