The rank of Fleet Admiral is introduced in the Imperial Sourcebook for West End Games Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, but it is not clear whether it is to be understood as a formal rank, or a title denoting a certain sort of command: the other posts discussed in the same section include some that seem to be substantive ranks, most obviously Captain of the Line, but also others that are evidently positional titles, such as a ship's captain and an Admiral's adjutant. In the New Republic, Supreme Commander Sien Sovv held the rank of Fleet Admiral during his leadership of the Defense Force. The commanding officer of Death Squadron under Darth Vader was also a Fleet Admiral, such as Kendal Ozzel and Firmus Piett. A Fleet Admiral was a very important member of the military hierarchy within a Sector, with authority over multiple systems forces commanded by subordinate systems admirals. His own command might be a front-line Superiority fleet, an Assault fleet or Bombard fleet for planetary suppression operations, or a logistical Deepdock fleet or Support fleet. A Fleet Admiral answered directly to the High Admiral in charge of Navy operations within their Sector, who was normally the Moff of the sector. The title of Fleet Admiral was accorded to the commanding officer of a major fleet within a Sector Group. Within the Imperial Navy, Fleet Admiral was not a formal line rank but a position that could be held by Admirals or Vice Admirals. The Fleet Admirals were possibly part of the Admiralty. The rank was first used in the Galactic Republic.
