High Command[edit]

This is a rarefied portion of the Line branch (see below) the component of the Imperial Navy that runs the most senior political offices of the Imperial Navy including the Admiralty and Named and Numbered Fleets[1]. While not technically a separate branch, it operates in a bubble of power not attainable by the majority of the Fleet. Entry to High Command is harder than entering into any actual branch.
