New Republic Senate

The **New Republic Senate**, also called the **Galactic Senate** or the **New Republic Assembly**, was the unicameral legislative body of the New Republic formed in 4 ABY, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. It consisted of representatives from all over Republic space, which convened on Coruscant (and later other planets) to make high-level decisions and advice the Chief of State.

## Powers

The Senate was the legislative and executive power of the New Republic. It also had limited judicial authority, presumably for high-profile plaintiffs or cases too controversial for the Supreme Court. Such cases included trying Senators for treason, crimes against civilization and presumably corruption and treason of the Chief of State.

The Senate debates and implements matters-of-law, votes on the admission of new worlds into the Republic, and has the power to change the constitution. Members of the Senate form smaller committees, along with carefully selected advisers, to cover specific legislative issues, such as finance, human rights, or agriculture. Changes to the constitution can not be made outside of the Senate, nor can laws affecting all New Republic citizens be implemented without senatorial approval.

## Composition

Primary members are represented in the Senate by a Senator. Each Senator has a single vote, regardless of the population represented. Affiliate members are represented by a High Commissioner, who may speak in general sessions of the Senate, but may not vote on official Senate business (to avoid dual representation) or serve in the Senate's various working bodies.

As a body with a large and potentially unlimited membership, the Senate-in-whole is an almost impossibly unwieldy structure for getting work done. Consequently, most of the real governance is performed by the Senate's councils, committees, and commissions. The daily business of the Senate proper is primarily speech-making and public debate. When the Senate meets as a committee of the whole, it is sometimes referred to as the New Republic Assembly.

Councils are appointed bodies with autonomous decision-making and appropriation authority over some segment of government operations outside the Senate proper (for example, the Defense Council, which oversees the New Republic Military). The most populous and powerful members of the New Republic are disproportionately represented on the Senate's councils.

Committees are elected bodies with the authority to administer various aspects of Senate operations, including the general budget. They are semi-autonomous; in the event of a unanimous committee vote, the approval of the Senate-in-whole is not required (however, the Senate-in-whole may override a less-than-unanimous committee decision with a three-to-five majority).

Commissions are voluntary bodies with an advisory capacity only. They may prepare reports on issues of concern for presentation to the Chief of State, to the Minister of State, to the Supreme Commander, or to the general membership; schedule and conduct hearings; and contract for independent research.

Haldor Vicari

**Haldor Vicari** (42 BBY–5 ABY) was an Imperial Grand Moff and member of the Ruling Council who briefly held the title of Galactic Emperor after the Battle of Endor.

## Biography

A Human male, he was born into the Vicari family, a prominent Coruscanti noble family with ties to the Galactic Republic stretching back many generations. He rose to prominence as an officer in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars and became one of Emperor Palpatine's Grand Moffs after the declaration of the New Order.

Following the Emperor's death at the Battle of Endor, the Empire fragmented among different warlords. Vicari remained loyal to the central government, which relocated to Corsin after the fall of Coruscant to the New Republic. After a failed attempt at retaking the former Imperial capital led to the death of the Ruling Council-appointed Emperor, Reynar Thalen, Vicari took the reigns of the Empire. He was supported by a number of industrialists on the Ruling Council, due to his connections.

The Grand Moff led the Imperial remnants on a campaign against warlord forces, reuniting several sectors under the loyalist banner. He became best-known for defeating the renegade High Admiral Freyja Merlon and his fleet at the Battle of Axxila. However, in early 5 ABY, Vicari was found murdered at his estate on Corsin. The Imperial Security Bureau never figured out who was behind it, but in later years it was speculated that the Dark Side Adept who succeeded Vicari as Emperor, Drogan Hestor, was most likely the culprit.
High Admiral

**High Admiral** was the title born by the commander of Navy forces within an Imperial Sector Group. Along with the Army rank of Surface Marshal, this title was often borne by the Moff or Grand Moff, though in the majority of sector}s it was delegated to a regalar officer.

High Admirals reported directly to Naval Command on Coruscant and the Chief of Naval Staff, or to the Moff or Grand Moff that led their assigned sector (unless the High Admiral in question was the Moff of their sector).
Sherman Mk-IV

**Live2D** | Available

"*The commander is the deciding factor of a battle!*"
—Intro
**Zoe Sherman** is a *Sherman Mark IV* Metal Maiden from the nation of Freedonia. She is the first Metal Maiden players will encounter in the game, and serves as an early advisor for the players. She has a pet named Jumbo, a tank turret she carries with her on her shoulders. She also has a little sister from Britannia.

## Personality

Zoe likes to compliment herself on how "great" she is, even though she's prone to screwing up at combat, especially at spying. She can also be naive and goofy at times, which often annoys the commander. Her attitude was the reason she got the nickname "Zoe the Slacker" back at her school; she continues to be called this by her friends Nelly Rommel and Toludka.

Imperial High Command

**Imperial High Command** referred to the military chiefs of the Imperial Armed Forces and other authorities of the Empire, excluding the Imperial Ruling Council, Select Committee, and Dark Side Adepts. They included senior military officers and Moffs.

After the reformation of the Empire in 9 ABY, the Moffs gained their own administrative body, the Central Committee of Grand Moffs. However, since only Grand Moffs were included, the regular Moffs were still considered to be part of High Command.

The military high command had three main subdivisions: Army Command, Naval Command, and the Operations Staff. Additionally, Starfighter Command and Battle Station Command existed under the authority of the Naval Staff Office.

## Structure of the High Command

* Supreme Commander of Imperial Forces
	+ Army Command
		- Chief of Army Staff
	+ Naval Command
		- Chief of Naval Staff
			* Starfighter Command
				+ Chief of Starfighter Staff
			* Battle Station Command

		- Chief of Operations
Dark Side Adept

**Dark Side Adept** was a generic term to describe any Force-sensitive individual in the Galactic Empire other than Palpatine and Darth Vader, the two Sith.

None of the Dark Side Adepts were Sith; Palpatine held on to the Sith code of only two. Instead, the Dark Side Adepts were Force-talented users who received training by the Sith (but were not privy to Sith Order teachings) or other Dark Side Adepts, or were Dark Jedi, having already received training from the Jedi Order or other institutions.

The Dark Side Adept's position in the Empire was separate from the Imperial chain of command; they existed outside of it, serving only the Emperor. Various groups collectively made up the Dark Side Adepts. The highest ranking group was the Inquisitorius. They were followed by the Secret Order of the Empire, the Emperor's Hands, the Emperor's Reach, Emperor's Voice, the Emperor's Eyes, several members of the Imperial Royal Guard, and various Imperial Dark Jedi.

With the fall of Emperor Palpatine, the Sith Rule of only two changed. No one can be quite certain when this change happened, however by the time Vastir Tokrev ascended the throne, multiple apprentices were being trained in more than how to wield the Dark Side of the Force but in the principles and teachings of the ancient Sith Order as well. The Disciples of Ragnos were a major cult that emerged during the Post-Endor Imperial power struggle.

## Notable Dark Side Adepts

* Drogan Hestor
* Vastir Tokrev
New Republic Army

The **New Republic Army** was a segment of the New Republic Defense Force that served as the ground military of the New Republic. It was formed from the ground forces of the Alliance to Restore the Republic after the New Republic was established.

## History

Formed from the Alliance Army, the Rebel SpecForces were re-purposed as commandos to seize bridgeheads during planetary assaults, while the bulk of the Army was to be used for occupation and peacekeeping duties.

In 5 ABY, the Army won a protracted three-month battle on Milagro against the Imperial Army. In 6 ABY the army liberated Coruscant under the command of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, General Rand Talor, and General Brenn Tantor.
Imperial Repeater Rifle

The **Imperial repeater rifle**, also known as the **Imperial repeater gun** or **Autogun**, was a type of repeating blaster prevalent during the time of and immediately after the Galactic Civil War.

## Description

A fast and highly accurate ranged weapon, the Imperial repeater rifle featured two firing modes: a single shot mode and a slower tri-shot burst mode that fired in a triangular configuration. The tri-shot mode was powerful against Jedi, as they could only block one or two bolts with their lightsaber, while one would always get through. The primary firing mode featured a very high rate of fire that could cut through swaths of enemies in little time, although this brought about the weapon's main flaw; Due to the high rate of fire, the Repeater could burn through ammunition extremely quickly. The primary mode's pinpoint accuracy, however, more than made up for the ammo consumption, as the weapon could effectively be used at great distances, although the projectiles lost momentum the longer they went, thus long range hits wouldn't be as damaging. Granted, the weapon wasn't as damaging as blasters anyway due to the lightness of the projectiles and the lack of force behind the bullets.

The weapon's housing was constructed in a fairly angular fashion, the barrel housing of the weapon constructed like a triangle. There were three barrels overall, one in each corner of the triangular housing. This was the feature that enabled the tri-shot mode. A drum was attached to the right side of the repeater's body which housed the ammunition. The internal belt was wrapped around the insides of the weapon, and the belt and the rounds were be visible on the left side of the weapon. The projectiles did not use casings. The grip and trigger was on the back of the main body. Most models were equipped with a wood grip. A long thin stock protruded from the back of the grip at the bottom.
Major

**Major** was a military rank that represents an officer that is mid-to-upper level of commission, and often acts alongside or just under a Colonel. It is often a parallel to the Naval rank of Commander or Lieutenant Commander.

## Galactic Empire

In the Imperial Army, a Major commanded a battalion.

## New Republic

Majors in the New Republic Army were the bridge between book-smarts, and battle-smarts. Typically they acted as either an Executive Officer at the Battalion level or were assigned to a support unit at the Brigade or higher level to gain non-combat command and operational readiness experience. In rare occasions, they were put in charge of a Battalion when there are no other fitting officers. In the case of support personnel, a Major may be in charge of an entire Battalion.

In the New Republic Starfighter Corps, Majors were typically newly-christened aces, with plenty of combat experience. Still the bridge between book-smarts and battle-smarts, they were most often put in charge of their own squadron. In rare occasions, they were put in charge of a Strike Group when there are no other fitting officers. In the case of support personnel, a Major may be in charge of an entire Strike Group's detachment of enlisted personnel and officers.
General

The rank and title of **General** encompasses the highest level of a commissioned officer in an army organization, and is occasionally used by some starfighter operations. A General is also referred to as a Flag Officer on some occasions. Generals are always in charge of something, whether that be a base, a corps of troops, a wing of starfighters, or as the chief commander of an entire armed forces branch.

There were several derivatives of the General rank, based on seniority and capability. They included Major General and Lieutenant General below, and (in the Galactic Empire) Surface Marshal and Grand General above. In the New Republic, the only rank senior to General was General of the Army.

## Galactic Empire

In the Imperial Army, a general commanded a field army, consisting of four corps. In the Stormtrooper Corps, a general usually commanded a legion. Generals also commanded individual garrisons or special task forces.

## New Republic

The rank of general was awarded to very few officers in each branch, the New Republic Army and Starfighter Corps. Generals typically headed departments at Army or Starfighter Command, or commanded large task forces.

## Other usage

Many planetary security forces used the rank of general.
Freyja Merlon

**Freyja Merlon** (46 BBY--5 ABY) was a High Admiral of the Imperial Navy who commanded a sector group in the Outer Rim and became a powerful warlord after the Battle of Endor.

## Biography

### Early career

Freyja Merlon joined the Imperial Navy shortly after the Clone Wars and attended an academy on Coruscant. He was considered to be dull and unremarkable by his superiors, but possessed a lot of ambition and some talent for command. Merlon, for his part, came to resent his instructors and peers alike due to the fact that they considered him to be a mediocre officer, and vowed to prove them wrong. Merlon reached the rank of Lieutenant Commander by the Battle of Yavin and was stationed in the Brak sector as the naval adjutant of its ruling Moff. Due to his efficiency at his post, the Moff recommended him for promotions, and he became a High Admiral in 3 ABY.

### Going warlord

After the death of Emperor Palpatine at the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Merlon was among the first Imperial officers to go warlord. The Empire began fragmenting into smaller fiefdoms controlled by warlords, with High Admiral Merlon refusing to pledge allegiance to the Interim Ruling Council and taking over a large territory in the Outer Rim. He also took control of several advanced TIE fighter factories, giving his forces access to craft such as the TIE/D Defender and TIE/ad starfighter. As the loyalists battled against the New Republic, the High Admiral took advantage by attacking some of their holdings in the Outer Rim.
Prime Minister

The **Prime Minister**, or **Premier**, was the head of government in the Galactic Empire responsible for maintaining the day-to-day operations of the Empire and the bureaucracy. The Prime Minister served as the chairman of the Imperial Cabinet from the Empire's foundation in 19 BBY until its fragmentation in 4 ABY. There was no completely recognized head of government throughout the Post-Endor Imperial power struggle, as the Interim Ruling Council served as the all-encompassing ruling body over the remains of the Empire.

The Grand Vizier was the highest rank in the Empire besides the Galactic Emperor and the Supreme Commander of Imperial Forces in pre-Endor Imperial society. He oversaw the myriad departments, bureaus and offices and acted as personal assistant to the Emperor. Essentially, the Grand Vizier performed almost all the day-to-day duties which the Emperor couldn't perform due to the hunt for the remaining Jedi and the Rebellion. He acted as an intermediary for the Emperor; few spoke to His Majesty without first going through the vizier. One of his more loathsome functions was to act as official food taster for the Emperor. As Head of Government, the Grand Vizier stood at the top of the Imperial Ruling Council, acting as its top official.

The position of Grand Vizier was formed after the establishment of the Empire, and may have been a replacement for two preexisting offices, those of Vice Chair and Senior Administrative Aide. The first individual to serve in the office was Sate Pestage.

Following the rise of Vastir Tokrev in 9 ABY and the reunification of the Empire, the office of Grand Vizier was restored to its normal duties.
Coalition for Improvements

Originally the Improvement Division of the Commerce agency under the Coalition for Progress, the **Coalition for Improvements** became its own group when the Select Committee began reorganizing COMPNOR to meet the requirements of Galactic Emperor Palpatine.

Improvements received copies of reports from Progress, forwarded by the Imperial Security Bureau, and was assigned to "improve" systems, which have deviated from the ideals of the New Order, by the ISB. These systems required long term solutions, and Improvements was required to keep their work behind closed doors, as their solutions were typically not best associated with the Empire.

## Sector Development

Sector Development contained two departments, the Department of Modification and the Department of Redesign. The Emperor personally approved of Sector Development's methods, but Sector Development was generally not funded as well as other projects within the Empire, thus forcing Sector Development to adapt to low cost strategies when dealing with their objectives, then pouring in precious funds to whichever strategies demonstrated the greatest promise.

### Modification

Modification was seen as an association of technologists and system specialists who helped local systems modify and improve their technology to Imperial standards. Despite fulfilling this mandate, their primary and secret purpose was to slowly modify social conditions and institutions to cement the system's loyalty to the New Order.

Modification covertly promoted the careers of politicans and other beings of high social standard who matched the Empire's politics, while working against their rivals. They saw the Rebellion as too specific to regions within the Empire to ever have a lasting effect to the Empire as a whole, seeing it as a military problem, and were content with waiting the Rebellion out.

### Redesign

Certain systems were considered virtually unsalvageable by Improvements that Modifications simply could not handle it to securely move the system into the fold of the New Order. If a planet is deemed to be of marginal value, the system is handed over to the Imperial military to handle, while a planet of value was dealt with by both Redesign and the military.

Redesign's evil actions were masked with such terms as "state changes," "shock vectors" and "bifurcation manifolds." Their resources, however, were too limited to handle more than one world in a sector at a time.
Grand Admiral

**Grand Admiral** was a highly placed and very influential rank in the Imperial hierarchy, subordinate to none other than the Emperor, the Supreme Commander, and the Grand Vizier. It was the highest rank attainable in the Imperial Navy, and was the equivalent of the Imperial Army's Grand General rank. The Imperial Grand Admirals gained a galaxy-wide reputation for being brilliant military commanders, instilling fear into their enemies.

During the reign of Palpatine, there were a total of twelve Grand Admirals that were appointed. One of the Grand Generals served on Naval Command as the Chief of Naval Staff, while the others held either other positions in Imperial High Command or were given important field postings. The Grand Generals and Army Command reported directly to Darth Vader, the Supreme Commander/Military Executor at the time.

Most of the original Grand Admirals were killed during the Post-Endor Imperial power struggle, following the death of Emperor Palpatine. Taking complete control over resources at their disposal and elsewhere, these Grand Admirals carved out their own spheres of influence and warred amongst each other as warlords.

By 9 ABY, all the original Grand Generals had either been killed during the Imperial infighting, had disappeared (such as Thrawn, who vanished into the Unknown Regions) or captured by New Republic forces. When Emperor Vastir Tokrev rose to power, he began awarding the rank again, setting out to regain glory of the Empire and the Imperial Navy.

Grand Admiral were appointed by the Emperor and the Emperor alone, and answered directly to the Executor (or in certain cases in which the Executor could not be reached, the Emperor), in all matters. The creation of the rank of Grand Admiral two years before the Battle of Yavin was widely recognized as a means to increase the Emperor's direct control of the Imperial Military. However, although all exceptionally gifted officers, the Grand Admirals were not just front-line commanders; rather, they included several technical specialists and theoreticians, enabling them to serve as a leadership cadre for the whole military—and indeed the whole Empire.

All Grand Admirals, upon promotion to the rank, were also given the esteemed and unique position in the Empire known as Warlord, a post held only by a few of the Emperor's most gifted military commanders.

## Known Grand Admirals

Rallis Cotyngham

**Rallis Cotyngham** was a Surface Marshal of the Imperial Army who was stationed on Coruscant and was named Capital Defense Commander by the Imperial Ruling Council.

## Biography

An accomplished Imperial general, Cotyngham was a staff officer at Army Command on Coruscant when Emperor Palpatine was killed at the Battle of Endor. He was called on by the Imperial Ruling Council to organize a defense of the planet. Cotyngham managed to put together a number of fortifications and strong-points around Imperial City and dispersed his resources skillfully. When the New Republic (the successor of the Rebel Alliance) attacked the planet four months after Endor, he managed to hold them up on Coruscant for weeks, giving them heavy casualties. In the end, Cotyngham refused to evacuate and perished in the fighting.
V-wing Airspeeder

The **V-wing airspeeder** was a combat airspeeder developed by the New Republic to replace aging cloud cars and allow more expensive starfighters to focus on space combat.

## Characteristics

The Verpine Slayn & Korpil hive colonies, famous for their development of the B-wing starfighter, designed the V-wing airspeeder. The airspeeder's standard repulsorlift system was paired with efficient ion afterburners to provide the V-wing with fantastic speed.

The single-pilot craft's top combat speed was 1,000 kilometers per hour. Additionally, when the powerful Chab-Ylwoum scramjet booster was employed, the craft's top speed was increased to 1,400 kilometers per hour. Braking and maneuvering flaps were at the rear of the craft. Heat dispersal fins were placed between the engines. Unfortunately, combat at such a speed was potentially dangerous, and overuse of the scramjet could cause dangerous overheating of the drive system, so the scramjet was reserved for hasty retreats. The V-wing's lack of shields required the pilot to use the craft's size and speed against enemy speeders and starfighters.

The V-wing's weapon systems had two fire-linked blaster cannons on either side of the vehicle with an effective range of two kilometers. The blaster cannons also had a rapid-fire setting that worked well against shielded targets, but after approximately three seconds of continuous fire, the cannons would overheat.

Because of their unusually high flight ceiling, V-wings could be deployed from both ground-based hangars and from hangar-equipped starships. When deployed from space, the airspeeder relied on V-wing airspeeder transports which were capable of carrying up to four (later models carrying six) V-wings for transport into planetary atmospheres. A large capital ship could carry up to ten of these transports, allowing dozens of V-wings to be rapidly deployed to a world under siege. The craft also had a refueling port, located on the starboard stern.
Captain of the Line

The position of **Captain of the Line**, also called **Senior Captain** or **Line Captain**, was a military rank in the Imperial Navy. A Captain of the Line typically commanded a tactical unit known as a line of battle, comprising between five and twenty corvettes, frigates or cruisers. Officers of the same rank could often command a single Star Destroyer, or serve as the adjutant to an admiral.

Its equivalent in the Imperial Army was High Colonel.
Colonel

Colonel was a military rank used by planet-based forces (such as the Imperial Army) as well as certain Starfighter Corps. Colonels ranked below generals and above majors, and were equivalent in rank to the naval rank of captain.

## Galactic Empire

In the Imperial Army, the rank of colonel was divided into several grades. Lieutenant Colonels, who could command a regiment of up to 4,000 soldiers, were the lowest rank. A Colonel in the Imperial Army was generally a staff officer, serving behind the lines. In certain cases, however, a Colonel may be given a field command, such as command over one or two regiments in the absence of or in place of a Lieutenant Colonel, or a Support/Auxiliary regiment. High Colonels were the highest rank of colonel, commanding a battlegroup of four to eight regiments.

Colonel was also a rank used by Imperial Security Bureau.

## New Republic

The New Republic used Colonels in the New Republic Army to direct operations on a Brigade level. Rarely did Brigade commanders take the field, as their jobs require them to stay focused on tactical maneuvering and strategy at the higher levels. They could, however, elect to run things from their base, and leave the commanding of the Brigade combat teams to lower ranking officers. Support personnel holding this rank were almost always aides to the general on the flagship or at the home post. Occasionally they held their own command over a detachment of support personnel.

A Colonel in the New Republic Starfighter Corps commanded operations on a Strike Group level, and were typically pilots in charge of their own squadron. They were allowed to run things from their home ship, and leave the commanding of the squadrons to lower ranking officers. Support personnel holding this rank were frequently aides to the General on the flagship or at the home post. Occasionally they held their own command over a detachment of support personnel.
Shipbuilding League

The **Shipbuilding League** was a union of minor shipyards from throughout the Rim worlds that worked to advance the interests of the smaller companies. It was also a pro-New Republic business, helping organize construction of naval vessels for the New Republic Starfleet.

## History

Formed in 4 ABY by the shipping magnate, businessman, and investor Jovan Markota, the Shipbuilding League was a group of small companies specializing in starship construction. It was intended to provide a means for the smaller shipyards to compete with the big players like Kuat Drive Yards and Fondor Shipyards, by coordinating production, advertising, and communications between them. The New Republic government, having recently captured Coruscant from the Galactic Empire during Operation Free Stars, began supporting the League. It wanted to expand its navy, but since the major shipyards were still supporting the Empire, it needed a new method to construct a large fleet. Markota agreed to help, and the League saw a large amount of investment while also making a profit from selling ships to the Republic.

As it became more successful, the Shipbuilding League expanded over the next few years, bringing more and more shipyards into its fold.
Imperial Ruling Council

The **Imperial Ruling Council** was the main executive and *de facto* legislative body of the Galactic Empire. The chief ruling body of the Council was the **Imperial Inner Circle**, comprised of the Empire's most influential and powerful men, notably the Galactic Emperor's closest Advisors.

The Ruling Council was responsible for the every day management of the Imperial government; the Ruling Council created the agenda and passed it on their various subordinates, including the Imperial Moffs. The Council was led by the Grand Vizier, the head of government. The Grand Vizier was the *de jure* second-in-command of the Empire, directly beneath the Emperor. However, the Grand Vizier was overshadowed by the Military Executor and the Emperor's Dark Side Adepts.

The Council itself resided in the Imperial chain of command directly beneath the Imperial Commander-in-Chief (the Supreme Commander of Imperial Forces and the Military Executor) and the Commander-in-Chief's subordinate council, the Imperial High Command). It did, however, hold authority over the Moff's council, COMPNOR and lesser divisions of Imperial High Command - and thus, the military and Imperial Intelligence.

Although the Imperial Senate was responsible for legislation officially, it was the Ruling Council that truly held this power. Operating at the Emperor's wishes, the Ruling Council set forth all the Empire's laws and policies, including the Human High Culture} agenda.

After Palpatine's death at the Battle of Endor, and the subsequent fragmentation of the Empire, the Ruling Council officially dissolved into the Interim Ruling Council. It would lead the remnants of the Empire from other worlds after the fall of Imperial Center.

## Notable Members of the Imperial Ruling Council

* Grand Vizier Sate Pestage
* Tavrid Unteel
* Garador Seiradan
* Ars Dangor
* Crueya Vandron
* Sly Moore
* Sim Aloo
* Kren Blista-Vanee
* Janus Greejatus
* Ragez D'Asta
* Alec Pradeaux
Lieutenant Commander

**Lieutenant Commander** was a military rank found in a navy, junior to a Commander. Its army equivalent was Major.

## Galactic Empire

In the Imperial Navy, a Lieutenant Commander was a command-level rank located in between Lieutenant and Commander. They had demonstrated further tactical thinking and command ability than Lieutenants, and were given certain levels of authority in the Navy.

On a ship the size of a Star Destroyer, a Lieutenant Commander commanded a certain section of the ship or act as an assistant to a Commander or Captain. On smaller scale vessels, a Lieutenant Commander could act as Executive Officer, or even Commanding Officer, if the situation called for it.

## New Republic

The rank was also used in the New Republic Starfleet.
Items

## Introduction

There are various items in Panzer Waltz that can be used for various different things.

Resources are for development and can be used in purchasing technology and research and development. The main method of obtaining resources is through events and the specials, but the naval port can be a good source if you have the silver and the luck. As you progress to higher tiers, the number of resources needed for S&T/R&D will significantly increase.

Equipment is placed directly onto your maidens in various different slots and provides straight upgrades to certain attributes, or unique effects that can be beneficial in the various stages of combat. Equipment can be placed into 7 slots (number varies by type and tank rarity}:Turret, Mod, External, Cabin, Internal, Carriage and Special. Equipment also comes in various tiers, and duplicates can be fused with codon and resources to produce that equipment of a higher tier.

Attires are duplicates of your maidens and can be used to enhance certain attributes for an amount of codon. If you get rid of one of your maidens and have her attire, you can consume an attire to bring her back into service. The type and rarity of attire will determine what attribute is raised and by how much.

## Equipment

All values will be based on S1 tier equipment.
Surface Marshal

**Surface Marshal** was the title born by the commander of Army forces within an Imperial Sector Army. Along with the naval rank of High Admiral, this title was often borne by the Moff or Grand Moff, though in the majority of sector}s it was delegated to a regalar officer.

Surface Marshals reported directly to Army Command on Coruscant and the Chief of Army Staff, or to the Moff or Grand Moff that led their assigned sector (unless the Surface Marshal in question was the Moff of their sector).
Army Command

**Army Command**, also called **Army General Staff**, was the command staff overseeing operations of the Imperial Army, consisting of senior generals. Based on Coruscant, Army Command was a subdivision of Imperial High Command and had authority in all ground operations. Any promotion to a senior army rank such as High General or Surface Marshal had to be recommended by a senior officer in the Army and then reviewed by the Army Command before any such promotion can be made unless the High Command promotes the officer themselves. Army Command preferred the use of walkers over repulsorlift or ground vehicles.

It worked with other subdivisions of High Command in planning and coordinating operations, including Naval Command and the Operations Staff.
Operations Staff

The **Operations Staff** was one of the several departments of Imperial High Command, tasked with planning all major strategic operations of the Imperial Armed Forces, in coordination with Army and Naval Command. The Operations Staff consisted of senior generals and admirals who planned out operations of the Imperial military, as well as allocated the necessary resources to units taking part. It was led by the chief of operations.
Zsinj

**Zsinj** (pronounced /zɪnd͡ʒ/) was a male Human from Fondor. Although he bore no first name per the traditions of his father, a Fondorian shipyard mechanic, Zsinj preferred to follow in the footsteps of his more famous mother, Mme. Maarisa Zsinj, a Chandrilan Admiral in the Republic Outland Regions Security Force popularly known as the "Ace of the Spacelanes." Zsinj served under his mother until the end of the Clone Wars.

After the birth of the Galactic Empire, Maarisa Zsinj refused the order to return her starship, the *Venator*-class Star Destroyer *Retaliation*, to port for decommissioning. The elder Zsinj denounced the new government as corrupt and went rogue, preying on ships of the Empire as a pirate. Young Zsinj was granted command of the aging *Victory*-class Star Destroyer *Iron Fist* to hunt down his own mother. The campaign was intense but ultimately successful, and Maarisa Zsinj was killed by her own son. The younger Zsinj was officially named the first Warlord of the Empire, and the elder Zsinj was expunged from Imperial history. This was the beginning of a string of victories that would lead to ever greater power for Zsinj, but also initiated a pattern of absurd thinking that would confound future opponents and analysts.

Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Zsinj was promoted to admiral and given command of the *Executor*-class Star Dreadnought *Brawl*—which Zsinj later renamed *Iron Fist* after his first command—by Emperor Palpatine himself. Zsinj quarantined the planet Dathomir and prevented the escape of the Force-sensitive Nightsisters, and Palpatine was personally grateful to Zsinj for halting this potential threat to his rule. Soon after this, Zsinj became High Admiral of the Crimson Command, a fleet of *Victory*-class Star Destroyers, and gained the position of Grand Moff over the Quelii Oversector, a large portion of the northern quadrant of the galaxy. It was from this position that Zsinj established himself as an independent warlord after the Battle of Endor.

After what was believed by the galaxy at large to be the death of Palpatine, Zsinj was recognized by many as the most powerful of the post-Imperial warlords. In fact, his official title of "Warlord of the Empire" popularized the term "warlord" for the renegades who broke away from the crumbling Empire, as in the initial chaos following the Battle of Endor he proclaimed loyalty to the Empire and used his legal title to foster an appearance of legitimacy. However, he set up a base on Serenno, locked down his Oversector, and began to absorb the forces and territories of his rivals like Terrinald Screed and Nigel Nivers. Along with his formidable fleet, Zsinj built a supporting financial infrastructure unlike that of any other warlord, and at the height of his power he controlled a third of the known galaxy, rivaling both the New Republic and the Galactic Empire.

High General

**High General** was an Imperial Army rank held by the commander of a systems army within a sector. It was above regular general and immediately below Surface Marshal. High Generals answered to their sector's Surface Marshal (the commander of all Army troops in a sector). Sometimes holders of this rank were assigned to command task forces for specific campaigns. The Imperial Navy equivalent of the rank was Fleet Admiral.
TIE Electronic Warfare

The **TIE/ew Electronic Warfare Starfighter** was a model of starfighter in the Imperial Navy.

## Characteristics

The TIE/ew packs the jamming capability of a small capital ship onto a TIE Bomber, allowed it to scramble enemy point-defense cannons and missile tubes, while also having the capability to punch through enemy jamming. It was originally built by the Galactic Empire to jam the sensors of planetary defense networks, so that its troopships would survive.
Warlord

A **warlord** was a military leader who held civil authority over a region. It was also used to describe the leaders of certain alien clans. The term warlord was prominently used to describe leaders of Imperial splinter factions during the later parts of the Galactic Civil War.

## Known warlords

* Freyja Merlon
* Pellar Hardian
Markus Thrain-Zardel

**Markus Thrain-Zardel** (58 BBY—) was an Imperial Grand Admiral and an officer of the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars.

## Biography

### Early career

Markus Thrain-Zardel was born to a prominent naval family on Corulag and joined the Republic Navy at a young age. He graduated from the Corulag naval academy and served on a *Venator*-class Star Destroyer during the Clone Wars, becoming a commander by the end of the conflict. Thrain-Zardel made a name for himself as an excellent officer and tactician during that time, and was popular among the rank and file for his successes. He agreed to serve the Galactic Empire and rose through the ranks of the Imperial Navy. The Corulagi officer took his naval lineage and oath of loyalty to the Emperor very seriously, but he was not very enthusiastic about the New Order.

### War with the Rebellion

By 2 BBY, he had become an admiral and served in the Mid Rim as the commander of a small task force centered on the *Imperial II*-class Star Destroyer *Courageous*. Following the destruction of the Death Star at the hands of the Rebel Alliance, the Corulagi took part in several campaigns against the Rebellion. He even bested the famed Admiral Gial Ackbar during one engagement against the Alliance Fleet, earning both respect and resentment among the Rebel ranks. In 2 ABY, Thrain-Zardel was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral and, a couple of weeks before the Battle of Endor, to High Admiral. It was also during those years that a young Lieutenant Commander, Casimir Sairgon, was assigned to be his adjutant.
Merlon Campaign

Galactic Empire

Merlon's Empire

The **Merlon Campaign** was a series of engagements between the loyalist Galactic Empire and the renegade High Admiral Freyja Merlon's forces in 5 ABY.

## Background

With the death of Emperor Palpatine at the Battle of Endor, the Imperial Ruling Council took control of the Empire in an attempt to keep it together. However, many Moffs, officers, and other officials broke off from the Empire and formed their own warlord fiefdoms, with some making claims to the Imperial throne. The New Republic, meanwhile, began an offensive towards the Core Worlds, which culminated in the fall of Imperial Center in 4 ABY. The loss of the capital further weakened the Interim Ruling Council's standing among the upper echelons of the military.

One of the first to go warlord was High Admiral Freyja Merlon, an officer of the Imperial Navy who commanded a sizable fleet and took control of a large territory in the Outer Rim. An ambitious man, Merlon took the opportunity created by the Emperor's death to seize power for himself, and managed to provide some stability to the territories he commanded. This contrasted with the Interim Ruling Council, which had a change of leaders every several months and was on the retreat from New Republic forces. The High Admiral's regime, therefore, had some attraction to Imperial military personnel who were tired of the Imperial government's weakness.
Admiralty (New Republic)

The **Admiralty** was the high command office of the Starfleet that existed within the New Republic. It was led by the chief of the Admiralty, who typically held the rank of admiral and answered to the Supreme Commander and Minister of Defense.

## Structure

The Admiralty was divided into seven offices that answered to the chief:

* Chief of the Admiralty
	+ Deputy Chief of the Admiralty
		- Operations Directorate (Chief of Operations)
		- Intelligence Directorate (Chief of Intelligence)
		- Logistics Directorate (Chief of Logistics)
		- Personnel Directorate (Chief of Personnel)
		- Security Directorate (Chief of Security)
		- Technology Directorate (Chief of Technology)
		- Medical Directorate (Chief of Medicine)
T3-B Heavy Attack Tank

The **T3-B heavy attack tank** was a heavier complement to its predecessor, the T1-B. The T3-B was used by the Rebel Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War.

## Description

The T3-B's ordnance consisted of long-range proton missiles and heavy blaster cannons, making the tank relatively strong against larger targets.

## History

The T3-B was a tracked tank manufactured by Yutrane-Trackata, and was one of the first vehicles fielded by the Rebellion capable of defeating AT-AT walkers in open combat.

Yutrane-Trackata later designed the T4-B heavy tank, an upgraded form of the older T3-B. Though the new T4-B was very powerful and effective during the Galactic Civil War, its implementation did not completely surpass the T3-B, and both tanks were put to great use by the Alliance Army and their other ground forces during the war.

T3-B tanks were later used by the New Republic during the Seizure of Coruscant.
Chief of State

**Chief of State** was the title given to the Head of State of the New Republic.

Officially, the Chief of State was the President of the Senate and Commander-in-Chief of the New Republic Defense Force. The position was referred to by a number of titles: "President" by the media, "Chief of State" by government offices, and multiple variations based on translations from Basic.
