Marquis

A noble rank within the system of Imperial Nobility in the Third Imperium.

The standard ranks of Nobility are:

1. Emperor / Empress
2. Archduke / Archduchess
3. Duke / Duchess
4. Count / Countess or Contessa
5. Viscount / Viscountess
6. Marquis / Marchioness or Marquesa
7. Baron / Baroness
8. Baronet / Baronetess
9. Knight / Dame

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, Marquises are also given control of enough off-world territory to see to supply chains where those are necessary.
