Fleet Admiral

The most senior flag rank known to exist in Starfleet, above Admiral. There are typically only two or three Fleet Admirals in Starfleet at any given time, and they answer directly to the President of the Federation and Federation Council. This position is typically only assigned during times of war or crisis. Once assigned, the person who holds this rank shall hold it until his death.
As the most senior military officer in Starfleet, a Fleet Admiral holds operation authority over the entire organization. Fleet Admirals report directly to the President of the United Federation of Planets and serve as a primary military advisor to the President and the Council.
In rare cases, Fleet Admirals have been given the title "Commander in Chief" (abbreviated CinC), and been given complete authority over the entire military. However, the last known case of this action was 2293 during the final days of the Klingon War.
