The various commanders in the Imperial Military, who were largely formidable military talents, also were considered the true holders of power within the Empire, even though they technically only carried out the orders of the Emperor. It must be noted though, that the commanding officers of naval capital ships usually preferred to be addressed as " Captain." According to Emperor Palpatine in the Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide, the official field manual for officers within the Imperial Military, a commander within the Empire was required to excel, which requires that they fight and if need be die in the service of the Empire, and also indicating that the commander won't be defeated even if he fell in battle due to the various branches fighting on. They ranged from Fleet Commanders, Field Commanders, and Flight Commanders to more prestige full titles such as Force Commanders and High Commanders. Examples of these commanders were found within all military branches. Almost anyone in command of a distinct ship, outfit or taskforce could be called "commander" of the unit. Commander Cody of the Grand Army of the RepublicĪs a generic mode of address, "commander" was appropriate to many military officers.
