Grand Imperial Navy The Grand Imperial Navy of the Constitutional Protectorate of Prakith was the name given to the squadron of the Imperial Navy defending the fortress world of Prakith , after Moff Foga Brill established himself as a Warlord . Colloquially , It was known simply as the Prakith navy . Hierarchy and loyalties . Prakith remained nominally loyal to Grand Moff Gann of Sector 5 , and the vessels of the Prakith navy continued to display the Grand Moff ' s seal , but the insignia of the planet ' s Moff was far more prominent , and all ships displayed the distinctive colors of Prakith . Moff Brill controlled his navy by controlling the assignments of its officers , and also instituted a system whereby commissions were essentially purchased from the Governor . Captaincies were given as rewards to members of leading families in return for their support , being particularly prized because ships ' commanders received their pay in bullion and goods , rather than the state - controlled currency . Conscription into the navy was considered a relatively desirable career path , and the families of non - commissioned personnel lived in security , guarded by the paramilitaries of the Red Police . Commissioned ranks in the Prakith navy included a ship ' s Captain ( sometimes addressed as " Lord Captain " ) and Lieutenant — for instance , Lieutenant Sojis was a watch officer aboard the frigate " Bloodprice " . The head of each specialist section in the crew was referred to by a distinctive term that may have been unique to Prakith , including navigation master , communications master , gunnery master , and aboard Imperial Patrol Frigate s , the towmaster in charge of the towed sensor net . It is unclear whether these were commissioned officers or senior non - commissioned officers , but it is known that their deputies was known by the title of second master . Although ships ' crews appear to have been predominantly male , female yeomans are also recorded , such as Yeoman Cligot aboard the frigate " Bloodprice " . Ships and squadron organization . The navy was organized in three layers of defense around Prakith , the outermost of which was the Deep patrol , consisting primarily of Imperial Patrol Frigate s such as the " Bloodprice " commanded by Captain Ors Dogot . These were equipped with powerful sensor equipment to enable them to track ships in hyperspace and provide advance warning of any attack on Prakith , but they were also expected to locate , attack and capture any New Republic warships or enemy freighters that strayed into Prakith territory . Prizes bought the captain and crew rewards in both money and status , and particularly notable captures had been known to earn personal favor from the Governor . The organization of the two further layers of defense around Prakith is less clear , however . Available sources make mention of Patrol command and the Inner fleet , but it cannot be said for sure that these correspond to the two inner layers , or even if they indicated distinct levels of hierarchy . Patrol command dispatched ships in support of the deep patrol frigates , such as the light cruiser " Gorath " under Captain Voba Dokrett and the " Adz " - class patrol destroyer " Tobay " , commanded by Captain Gegak , but it is unclear whether these formed part of the second line of defense , or if they were themselves another element of the deep patrol . Ships based further in towards Prakith may have included Star Destroyers and at least one Star Dreadnought , and while it seems that procedures for refitting and repairing ships were somewhat disorganized , the Prakith navy did seem to have access to new ships and up - to - date technology , at least as far as smaller capital ships like frigates and light cruisers were concerned . " Gorath " was considered a significantly newer ship even by the crew of the relatively modern and advanced " Tobay " , and she may have been a new design produced at Prakith itself .
