I only recall the use of Cadet, Guardsman, Lieutenant and Commander in S1. And while in season 2 we had Sergeant Miller I assumed it was mixup with MW.

Anyway, I just found our Sky_People/Guard entry. Assuming its correct, with ranks like inspector, it is safe to say that the guard was modeled after older civic guard police units, and it confirms that Commander is the highest Guard rank.

As for Kane, he might have been the equivalent of minister of interior, and later after the mutiny and the Exodus thinking their ranks he has been playing pass along with the Commander pin as well.
