The Geno was formed of one thousand companies. More properly termed as a brigade, the regiment appeared to treat the company as the primary tactical unit, assigning one or more to every undertaking that came their way. As such, each company - while being mainly an infantry unit - possessed enough organic armour and supply elements to sustain it in the field.{{Fn|1}}
The standard Geno troops, being genetically selected, all displayed physical characteristics deemed preferential for a warrior; they were big, tough, muscular men. {{Fn|1}}
Junior officers, normally selected from the troopers, appeared similar. The senior rankers, however, were not gene-bred, and so could appear slim or even weak-looking in comparison to their men. The Uxors were typically slim and small women, with their juniors being teenage girls.{{Fn|1}}
Subordinate rank to Hetman, several in a company.
;Trooper
The lowest and most numerous rank in the Geno, that of front-line soldier. Selected to be at peak physical condition.
