General of the Imperial Army

General of the Imperial Army was a rank given to Generals of the Galactic Empire and it's successor states. It was equal in rank to a Five Star General of the Army or Five Star Field Marshal.

Usage
The rank was given out only during wartime. Those who held the rank would revert back to their original rank after the conclusion of said war or conflict. The rank was given to Generals who needed to outrank military commanders of allies they were serving alongside. It was intended to be a rank superior to all others except the Supreme Commander.
