Major is an officer rank used by the MACOs and Federation Marines, superior to captain and subordinate to lieutenant colonel and colonel.
This rank is also used in the Bajoran Militia and other armies. (DS9)
The Romulans also used the rank in their Ground Forces and Tal Shiar. They were both above the rank of captain while the RGF was below centurion and in the Tal Shiar it was below colonel. (The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon) Both organizations referred to majors as aendehs in Rihannsu. (RIS Bouteina)
The rank is equivalent to the Starfleet rank of lieutenant commander, and wing colonel in the Federation Starfighter Corps.
[edit] History
The term comes from the armies and marines of Earth. The United States Army abbreviation was MAJ; the Marine Corps used Maj.
