Military ranks in the Inquisition are used by the ''laišāhīma'' (the Army), and are also often found unchanged as ranks among members of most ''jānilšeidai'' (legions), which are private companies with the nominal aim of spreading the Yunyalīlti faith, all of them unofficially supported by the Inquisitorial government but considered terrorist groups in the West.<br/>Note that all ranks are translated with reference to the closest terms in English general use.
The following are the military ranks used in the ''laišāhīma'', which is divided in ''jāṇaheklah'' (land force), ''lairiheklah'' (air force), and ''jariaheklah'' (sea force):
* ''lalla camihāryaṃšāni'' — High Grand General<ref>''hāryaṃšāni'' is an ancient Āṣasṝkhami term more accurately meaning "first in line".</ref> - ([[w:Ranks_and_insignia_of_NATO_armies_officers|OF-10]]) maximal authority in the armed forces; coincident with the Inquisitorial Prefect of the Army and Defense Troops, which also has ultimate command on all Inquisitors on civilian police duties.
