Federated Commonwealth[edit]
During the Federated Commonwealth's existence, the number of Field Marshals dropped considerably. Instead of commanding a region of space, Field Marshals in the AFFC commanded either a State Command (Federated Suns/Lyran Commonwealth) or a major administrative/noncombat command like the Department of the Quartermaster, Department of Strategy and Tactics, or the Department of Military Intelligence.[2]
