The Aftershock ranking system is broken up into four ranks, Clan Leaders, Co Clan Leaders, Captains, and Members. How these work is described below.

Clan Leaders: There are three clan leaders in Aftershock, these clan leaders make up the three high council members and are allowed to appoint Captains and Co Clan Leaders and accept applications.

Co Clan Leaders: Co Clan Leaders are the three sub council members, they can appoint Captains and accept applications unless otherwise noted by Clan Leaders.

Captains: The Captains are the two most productive and influential members of Aftershock outside of the Council. Officers must show their ability to lead others in battles, have good attitudes toward other members and keep members of DF in check. 

Members: This is the basic member rank of Aftershock, members fill out the remaining eight of the 15 allowed spots in Aftershock. Members can participate in battles and MUST be active on 360 and in the forums to remain on the roster.
