Sources: The major rank insignia was worn by Kira Nerys throughout the Deep Space Nine series. Others were used, but the rank system doesn't seem to be very coherent, the only others that were seen were a few lieutenants and a couple of generals. As in the case of non-commissioned Bajoran personnel, please note that there seemed to be no proper rank insignia, although Odo was shown to rank his deputies through a uniform difference (the higher collar). Thanks go out to Frank G. for the research into Bajoran rank pins, his page delves the subject much more deeply: Bajoran Rank Insignia. (<-external link). Thanks also to Robert B.K. Brown for the pin images I edited.
