Como e teddy bear?
ahem..is there ranks of title or something similar in the empire? Mod has a faction that is sanctioned by the Empire. Would like to know if there is some ranks, like officer, commander, major, leiutentint?

Captain, Legate, Praefect, Auxiliary, Quaestor, and I think Tribune. Not in order of course. Morrowind's was simpler. Stuff like champion, knights errant, etc.
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Imperial_Legion#Imperial_Legion_Ranks. Can't find those of Skyrim right now, but I think the Bear has it about right.
It's Auxiliary, Quaestor, Prefect, Tribune and Legate, in that order.
I guess the Morrowind ranks are accurate for Oblivion, while the Skyrim ones are newer.
Skyrim's ranks are not the standard as talius says he thinks you would be wasted on grunt duty. so most likely we got a short hand modified version. heck the name Auxiliary in RL meant that you served with the Legion but was not apart of the Legion. Somewhere I now I meant a NPC with the title of Tribune so that's probably a officers rank and Legate commanders an army with General serving as over all commander for the province's Legion
Depends on the game. The ranks of the Legion in Skyrim are based off of Roman names but the one in Morrowind uses medieval titles.
Huh. I had thought that the Oblivion Legion retained some rank structure (I know they were all NPCs, but I figured there would at least be some class system in the programming), but UESP claims otherwise. How disappointing.
That said, apparently in Oblivion the Battlemages and Foresters are outside of the standard "Soldier" category. That said, I'm 99.9% certain that that's simply a programming quirk (the Legionnaires labeled "Soldiers" that are inside the Imperial City are also technically in a different faction than those "Soldiers" outside the city, despite having the same title, so it's almost certainly nothing relating to in-universe military structure).
Overall, the Legion is not consistent. Then again, the Legion under Titus II has 200+ years of history that the Legion of Uriel VII does not; who knows what kind of changes the brief interregnum between the Septim and the Mede Dynasties produced, let alone the Great War (and the probable need to reorganize after the huge number of casualties)?
Do we know what the rank system looked like in Daggerfall or Arena? Was there a rank system at all in Daggerfall or Arena?
The Imperial Legion didn't exist in Arena and Daggerfall; it was first mentioned in the PGE 1st edition IIRC.
Battlespire was released before Redguard (which had the PGE) and it had a letter to the Grand Marshall of the Imperial Legion - so that would be the first.
