High Colonel

High Colonel is a rank between a regular Colonel and a Brigadier in the the Imperial Army. The rank is considered the equivalent of a Line Captain in the Imperial Navy.

The military rank of High Colonel has never been shown in a live action Star Wars production and only rarely has the rank been mentioned in literature of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. The rank may have been entirely invented by authors as an Imperial Army equivalent to the one Line Captain who makes an appearance in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

The insignia for High Colonel is conjectured to be the same as that of Line Captain, that being six yellow squares with a code cylinder worn on either side of the badge.
