The Ranking System

Item from Iron Prince by Bryce O\

F through S — the letters that define a cadet's worth at Galens, a User's career in the Collective, and the social hierarchy that Rei Ward is systematically demolishing.

Also known as: Rankings, The Ranks, F through S

What They Know

• Ranks from F (lowest) to S (highest) — composite score based on specs, combat record, and assessed potential
• Publicly displayed and socially deterministic — rank affects training access, team placement, career trajectory, and social status
• Rei started at the lowest composite score in Galens history — his progression is systematically challenging the system's validity
• The ranking system doubles as entertainment — fight results and rank changes are broadcast and followed like sports scores
• The series uses rankings as a metaphor for measuring human potential with inadequate tools
