[edit] Background

In the United States, a brigadier general wears one silver star and is therefore sometimes referred to as a "one-star general". One famous recipient of this rank is Chuck Yeager.

Although unnamed, a character strongly resembling Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart from Doctor Who appears in the John M. Ford Star Trek novel "How Much for Just the Planet?" at a rather treacherous golf course on the planet Direidi.
