A Subsector Duke or Greater Duke is a noble rank within the system of Imperial Nobility in the Third Imperium.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Imperial regional and territorial administration begins at the Subsector level, and the administration and oversight of such affairs is handled by the appointment of an Imperial Nobleman of the rank of Duke by the Emperor to the position of Subsector Governor with authority to act in his name (i.e. with "imperium") as the local regional member of the Imperial Feudal Technocracy. In general, one of these "Subsector Dukes" within a given Sector will also rise to become the Duke ultimately in charge of the Sector-level of government leadership as a whole (located at the Sector Capital World), which is normally (but not always) one of the Subsector Capital Worlds. Such a Subsector Duke acting in the role of Sector Governor is known as a "Sector Duke", although they officially hold no higher level of precedence among their peers than the other Subsector Dukes.
Subsector Dukes are more powerful than lesser Dukes in precedence, wielding imperium from the Emperor directly over the Imperial Government Ministries and apparatus within the Subsector per the Imperial Warrant of Restoration, and acting as the civilian governmental leadership over the local Imperial Armed Forces (both Imperial Navy and the Imperial Subsector Army of the Unified Armies of the Imperium). This Imperial mandate likewise grants direct control and authority as "Duke" (i.e. "Dux" or "leader") over the local Provincial or Subsector Forces in the region, such as the Subsector Navy and any Colonial Marine or Greater Local Defense Forces that exist as part of the official military reserve structure of the Subsector.
A Subsector Duke holds his appointment to the governorship along with an appointment as Imperial Landed Greater Duke of the Subsector Capital World. Between his positions of Subsector Governor and Senior Landed Noble of the Subsector Capital, a Subsector Duke may in some instances have subsidiary control, influence, or outright leadership of several other worlds within the territory of the subsector, thereby influencing other planetary leaders through the system of feudal confederation. Lesser Landed and Ceremonial nobles within the Subsector meet and negotiate at the Subsector Duke's local court as representatives of their individual worlds or Imperial Ministries or Institutions, some of whom likewise owing fealty one to another. Ultimately, all of the Subsector Dukes and their respective Subsector courts semi-periodically meet in conclave at a Sector-level Moot (the name of which varies from Sector to Sector) held at the discretion and direction of the Subsector Duke acting as Sector Duke.
Entitlement Synopsis[edit]
The sixth and seventh levels of noble rank are called dukes, and are either associated with a subsector capital world or an important world within a subsector. Those Greater Dukes associated with a subsector capital world are the governing Subsector Duke of the subsector. Dukes are referred to either by the Ducal title followed by "of" and the subsector name, or by the Ducal title followed by "of" and the world-name, as appropriate. The power of a duke depends on circumstances and the situation within the sector, but generally one duke within a sector rises to power and becomes the Sector Duke, the overseer of that sector as a whole. No special title is awarded to a Sector Duke.
- An individual accorded a lesser duchy may receive a fief of land, generally not more than 100,000 km2, and/or 64 terrain hexes on worlds within his fief-world's sector, with an associated non-mainworld terrain hex for each mainworld hex in the same respective system(s) if he has an appointment as an Imperial Landed Noble. Landed Lesser Dukes fiefs are generally granted on worlds deemed Important by the Imperium.
- Lesser Dukes titles can potentially be granted in a variety of individually specific forms based upon the manner or reason for which the title was granted. Examples of such titles might include: Duke, Count-Duke, Lesser Duke, Short Duke, Long Duke, Border Duke, March Duke, Vice-Duke, Co-Duke, Regent-Duke, War-Duke, etc.
- The dignity of a lesser Dukedom allows the above-mentioned style to be followed by the world name. The land grant of a Lesser Dukedom includes territories and lands on worlds that span the majority, if not all, of a subsector, with territorial grants and power also extending into the surrounding sector. [1]
- An individual accorded a Greater Duchy will receive a fief of land, generally not more than 100,000 km2, and/or 128 terrain hexes on worlds within the fief-world's sector, with an associated non-mainworld terrain hex for each mainworld hex in the same respective system(s). Greater Dukes are always associated with subsector or sector capital worlds.
- The Greater Dukedom of a Subsector Duke allows the title "Duke" followed by the Subsector name. A Greater Dukedom includes territories and lands on worlds that span the majority, if not all, of a subsector, with territorial grants and power also extending into the entirety of the surrounding sector. [2]
Rights and Duties of Greater Dukes as Subsector Dukes[edit]
- Appointment of Ministry of Justice Imperial Judges
- Appointment of Subsector Marshal of the Imperial Army
- Civilian Command of the local Subsector Navy and any Subsector-level Colonial Forces.
- The right to appoint provisional Bachelor Knights Retainer of the Subsector for the needs of his office.
Additional Rights and Duties of Greater Dukes acting as Sector Dukes[edit]
- Oversight of the administration of the Sector Fleet.
- Oversight of the administration of the Unified Armies of the Imperium and Sector Grand Marshal.
- Where an order of knighthood is at Sector level (e.g. Order of the Spinward Marches), appointment of Knights to that order.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Subsector Dukes are a key part of the system of feudal confederation and higher placed nobles must inspire the loyalty and service of nominally sixteen subsector dukes to control a sector. Subsector dukes often become embroiled in smaller conflicts trying to adjust trade routes and solve local matters of noble dispute. Some subsector dukes have become involved with complicated conspiracies and plots, including forbidden actions involving corsair vessels or foreign powers.
