A noble rank within the system of Imperial Nobility in the Third Imperium.
The standard ranks of Nobility are:
- Emperor / Empress
- Archduke / Archduchess
- Duke / Duchess
- Count / Countess or Contessa
- Viscount / Viscountess
- Marquis / Marchioness or Marquesa
- Baron / Baroness
- Baronet / Baronetess
- Knight / Dame
The Vilani term for Marquis is variously rendered either Sarriiu or Shakkanakhu.
Worlds with the potential to become significant centers of industry are assigned to a Marquis.
Equipped with enough of a land grant to theoretically kick-start an industrial surge all by themselves, Landed Marquises are also given control of enough off-world territory to see to supply chains where those are necessary.
