Current Registrar:
Military Liaisons
As the names might suggest, the Military Liaisons are the military’s ties to each respective Order, School, and other organizations. The normal maximum of a liaison is one to each outside organization, but this is amendable. They are ambassadors of sorts and have usually shown interest in their chosen semi-order. So as such, a liaison to the Church has limited abilities to prophesize, and could have joined the Church is he had so chosen. Thus, a liaison is a vital link to the other organizations within the Empire and must be ready to work hard to keep the pathways smooth between the military and other groups.

Trainee
Trainees can be found in all branches of the Sith Imperial Armed Forces. They are those that have yet to be commissioned, but are still within their chosen field, being trained by experienced and superior officers normally found within that field. It is the duty of the Trainee to pursue their training if anything is to delay or pause it, not that of their training officer. Trainees will be assigned the lowest rank within their branch to be able to distinguish them.
Current Registrar: Darth Angmar, Darth Rachk
Quartermaster
The Quartermaster is in charge of all physical supplies, minus ammunition, needed by his respective Military Branch. There is only one Quartermaster for each military branch, thus two [2] at most, and they work together to achieve their ends. This is mainly a political job, and the Quartermasters can be found in the bureaucratic office of the Imperial Military.
Current Registrar:
Ammunition Master
The Ammunition Master is like the Quartermaster, but instead deals with the ammunition aspect of supplies. Whether it be the different gases needed, the many missiles employed or the development of newer, better weapons, the Ammunition Master is in charge. There is only one Ammunition Master for each military branch, thus two [2] at most, and they work together to achieve their ends. This is also a political job, and the Ammunition Masters can be found in the bureaucratic office of the Imperial Military.
Current Registrar:
War Lord
The War Lord is a much respected position. The holders of this position have proven themselves again and again in their chosen area of combat. They are highly held and their advice is more of a command. There can be only one for each branch of the Military, thus two [2] at any given time. The War Lords are capable, at any time, of commanding/commandeering any military group, whether it be ships or men. They are second only to the Supreme Commander and the Grand Admiral and High General. These ranks must be presented by a joint agreement of the just said officers.
Current Registrar:
Battle Master
The Battle Masters are very much like the War Lords. In fact, the War Lords is normally chosen from the Battle Masters. There can only be four [4] Battle Masters at any time, unless time dictates otherwise, and only two [2] for each Military Branch. The Battle Master, like the War Lord, is respected for his experience and command ability. The Battle Masters are capable, at any time, of commanding/commandeering any military group, whether it is ships or men. They are second to the War Lords, Supreme Commander, Grand Admiral, and High General only. These ranks must be presented by a joint agreement of the just said officers, other than the War Lords.
