Srav kommissar

"Put simply, these guys are bastards."

- Excerpt from a Necasian combat manuel

Srav kommissars were officers in the Srav Federation, before and during the Cruentusian War, who fufilled a number of roles. Usually, they served as intelligence directors, although they could also act as interrogators and propaganda distributers. They also acted as governors of Srav-occupied worlds, and although they had no nominal military role, they had the authority to take control of operations if there was nobody of higher ranking to do so. Notable kommissars included Laverta Suka.

Behind the scenes
Srav kommissars are based on real-world Soviet commissar, although their status and roles are very different.
