Grand Marshal - Fiction

Fiction

Grand Marshal often appears as a rank in science fiction sources, often in space or star fleets whose size requires a rank above such other titles as Surface Marshal and Fleet Admiral. Among Grand Marshal science fiction equivalents include:

  • Grand Marshal: Highest conjectural rank of the TIE fighter forces in the universe of Star Wars, equivalent to a Grand Admiral. This assumes that the TIE fighter forces are a separate branch of service from the Imperial Navy.
  • Grand Marshal: The 14th and highest PvP honor rank of the Alliance in World of Warcraft.
  • Grand Marshal: A rank held by Imperial Guard officers in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It seems to be assigned to officers who command the armed forces of an entire planet. It is inferior to Lord Commander Militant.
