Supreme Commander of the Imperial Forces

Supreme Commander of the Imperial Forces was an unique position in the Galactic Empire synomous with the position of Military Executor. While the position of Military Executor was more of a personal appointment made by the Emperor, and served as the de facto second-in-command of the Empire, the role of Supreme Commander was the de jure position as Commander-in-Chief of the Galactic Empire, although in the Imperial structure, the role of Military Executor has been tiered to be superior to Supreme Commander.

The Supreme Commander had far-reaching authority, responsible for the overall upkeep of the Empire's military and reporting to the Emperor directly on all matters concerned with the military. The Chiefs of Naval Operations and Army Operations both reported directly to the Supreme Commander. In the history of the Empire, there have only been two Supreme Commanders, both of whom also held the position of Military Executor.
