			Over time, some individual ranks have been removed, '''Sector Admiral''' being one of those. For much of Rebel Squadrons' history, this rank has not been used. It has not been attainable since [[Super\|SA Super's]] first retirement in Nov 1997. He was the only person to obtain this rank, though others had tried.

			FA [[DNia 00]] reportedly requested this rank during club merger discussions in 1996.<sup>[[http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/profiles/history.php?pin=420]]</sup>. However, records of old club newletters show he was eventually given the rank of [[Fleet Admiral]] instead.

			In the first half of 1997, BA [[Noble]] also attempted to obtain this rank by pursuing the promotion of Patriot Battle Fleet to that of a Sector. By rules of that time, this would have automatically made its commander, BA Noble, a Sector Admiral. That plan was rejected by the [[High Command]].<sup>[[http://ho.rebelsquadrons.org/articles/pbfhistory.php]]</sup>

			When the [http://www.rebelsquadrons.org Rebel Squadrons website] started tracking and maintaining rank assignment in 1998, the ranks of Sector Admiral and [[Bar Admiral]] were not included its database. When Super returned to active duty for a short time later in 1998, he was listed as a Fleet Admiral for administration purposes, though recognition of his rank of Sector Admiral was never challenged.

			The rank was briefly restored and added to the website database some years later in an unpopular attempt by the Fleet Commander of that time to change how the Rebel Squadrons was organized and how its ranks where applied. That Fleet Commander was quickly removed from office by the High Command. Unfortunately, the rank was removed from the database as part of the wholesale recovery from that incident.

			In 2006, the rank of Sector Admiral was formally added back to the website database by FC [[Licah Fox]]. Super is again listed by his official rank of Sector Admiral, though the rank remains unattainable. It is not mentioned in the club's [[bylaws]].
