Totally random inquiry...
Is it safe to say that an OvKhan is actually a higher rank than a Star Colonel? (But lower than a SaKhan) They appear to be equivalent ranks on paper, but some assets would require a Cluster formation or two or more to defend. Places like Tukayyid, or Twycross, or Itabiana
So, I imagine that though the Sea Foxes may emphasize mercantilism in the Dark Age and beyond with the Aimag system, they likely still have such pure military formations for very practical reasons. The rank of Star Colonel would be indispensable.
And perhaps, during emergencies, a Galaxy Commander or two might be necessary. SaKhan, on paper, appears to be equivalent, but Aimag and Khanate descriptions seem to indicate much larger commands than even a large galaxy in many cases. Thus prompting my questions about both OvKhan and SaKhan ranks, really.
I'm just wondering. Trying to form a picture of the rank-relationships, Foxxing style. O0
