Anyway, Ross, you can read Imperial insignia with a little practice. There's a mathmatical formula that can apply to any insignia.
Blue Squares=1
Red Squares=2
Gold Squares=2.5, unless it pairs with another gold, in which case each is 1.25
Standard Code Cylinders=-1
The Motti or "spark plug" cylinders=-0.5
Example:
Three red+Three blue+One Standard Cylinder=6+3-1=8. This is a Captain/Colonel.
