General field marshal

General field marshal was a senior army rank in the Galactic Empire, being the second highest rank attainable in the Imperial Army. Its equivalent was grand admiral in the Imperial Navy. As a rule, the rank of general field marshal was awarded to senior officers who played a key role in a decisive victory during war. However, as a result of the corruption of the late Althmark Dynasty, some high nobles were promoted to the rank without any real accomplishments. General field marshals typically held high ranking positions in the army.

The only higher rank attainable in the Empire was Imperial Marshal.
