History & Background (Dossier)
Task Forces and Large Task Groups of the Imperial Navy may be commanded by Rear Admirals, as well as Divisions, Squadrons, or Large Task Units if the role or size is such that a Commodore is not felt sufficiently senior. In some cases a Rear Admiral may be given charge of one of the Numbered Fleets in a sector in the reserve fleet.
Permanent appointment to this rank attracts the title of Knight[1]. i.e. Should there not be any appropriate Noble candidate, the non-Noble will be granted a knighthood as part of the promotion process.
