Imperator (rank)

From BattleIntelligence
This article is about the Marian Hegemony rank. For other uses, see Imperator.

Description

The Imperator is the highest-ranking officer in the Marian Legions and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of all Marian Hegemony forces. This officer is the Caesar's right hand, reporting directly to the Caesar and taking care of all military affairs so the Caesar can deal with other matters.[1]

Prior to Sean O'Reilly dubbing himself Caesar in 3048, the term Imperator was used to indicate the leader of the Marian Hegemony.[2] One of Julius O'Reilly's first acts as Caesar after his ascension in 3063 was to create the current Imperator position.[1] The Imperator wears the rank insignia of a General, modified to show two gold stars in the center of the black triangle, to show his rank.

After the Lothian League regained its independence from the Marian Hegemony in 3128, the nation retained the Marian style of government, including that of the Imperator position.[3]
