Major/Legends

Major was a military rank used by planet-based forces (such as the Imperial Army) and by certain starfighter corps. Majors ranked immediately below lieutentant-colonels, and above captains. The equivalent naval rank was lieutenant-commander.

In the Imperial Army, majors could command battalions of approximately 600 to 1000 soldiers. They also acted as senior advisors and aides to colonels, generals, and Moffs. One of the most prominent Imperials to hold the rank of major, Grodin Tierce, was in virtual command of the Imperial Remnant's entire military while advising Moff Disra and Flim during the Caamas Document crisis.
