Fleet Admiral/Legends



In the Imperial Navy of Star Wars, Fleet Admiral is considered a senior Imperial military rank for those who command sector fleets or task forces. Due to the size of the Imperial Navy, however, the neccesity exists for even higher ranks. As such, most Fleet Admirals answer to a High Admiral who in turn answers to a Moff, Grand Moff, or Supreme Moff.

Imperial Grand Admirals and Grand Generals are specially appointed and outrank all personnel, military and civil, save Emperor Palpatine and his appointed executors.

The insignia for an Imperial Fleet Admiral is six blue and red squares in a rectangle design. High Admirals use the same rank badge, but only wear one code cylinder while Fleet Admirals wear two.



An old style insignia for Fleet Admiral, used during the time of the first Death Star, comprised a single line of six red squares with three code cylinders. This was also the insignia for High General, the Imperial Army equivalent of Fleet Admiral. High General Tagge, of the first Death Star, wore the old style Fleet Admiral/High General insignia, while Fleet Admirals Piett and Ozzel, of Darth Vader's Task Force wore the later insignia version.
