Taisho Yui announced upcoming major changes to the Star Army of Yamatai's YE 38 pay scales today.
The new pay scale is in chart format, with pay calculated by pay grade (rank) and years served. You can view it on the Star Army's ranks and pay article.
In a statement released by Star Army Personnel, the intent was to put them on par with many civilian wages and help soldiers build foundations for their post-military lives.
The new system is more simple. The previous experience credit system with a new one that automatically increased base pay every 3 years by 10%. The Family Support Allowance and Family Service Credit were also eliminated.
"We are paying soldiers for the work they do, not for what their family looks like," Yui explained. "The population already has the minimum income to cover family needs, and the pay increase is typically higher than the money lost from this change."
The vast majority of soldiers will see an increase in pay, with lower-ranking soldiers seeing a massive jump in earnings. The new pay scale takes affect at the start of YE 38.
