Supreme Commander

The title of Supreme Commander was the highest rank accorded in the military of the Black Star Confederacy

After the Confederate Civil War, military authority was concentrated in a new post of Supreme Commander. Officially, this post replaced the Minister of Defense, but with the office filled by the High Admiral of the Navy, and no civilian ministries to get in the way, it represented in practice a concentration of military authority in Fleet Command.

Constitutionally, the Supreme Commander was appointed by the President. The Senate confirmed the appointment, and could also recall the Supreme Commander by a Vote of No Confidence. In practice, the Supreme Commander was the most senior serving Admiral answerable to the government he served.
