Grand General

Grand General was a senior rank within the Imperial Army of the Galactic Empire. Following the Battle of Yavin, General Cassio Tagge was promoted to the position by Emperor Sheev Palpatine, given overall command of the Imperial Military, and authority over the Sith Lord Darth Vader. In the aftermath of Doctor Cylo's attempted hijacking of the Executor, Tagge was demoted back down to a standard general. All of his authority was granted to Vader, who Force choked the Imperial officer.

Also during the Imperial Era, the Imperial officers Ormeddon and Levinous had the rank of Grand General, with the latter declaring himself Galactic Emperor after Darth Sidious' apparent death only to be arrested by his own forces. In the tail end of the Galactic Civil War, Kenner Loring held the rank, though Grand Admiral Rae Sloane was among several who always had wondered why Loring was made grand general instead of Hodnar Borrum. A Grand General had the authority to issue the status of a most wanted bounty.
