For me, yellow figs served as commanders for ground infantry.

Now these guys were indeed the technicians--they piloted small ships and supported
in larger ones, when I'd put together a clump of ships.

This is interesting! I use blue as command minifigs for multiple-crew ships, but
not for heavies.

For some reason, I have more red than *any* other colour. I've been using them as
ground troops, grunts, gofers, and so forth.

Interesting. I recently added epaulettes to my black minifigs and made them
"command and control" minifigs. I had an extra black classic torso and made a
"supreme commander, military" out of him.
I wonder if anyone, besides trying to divine the "real" meaning of minifig colour
from TLG, has devised a similar "cherished system" of classification.
