The Commanding General or Commanding Admiral, depending on their branch of service, was the commander-in-chief of the Star League Defense Force in its original incarnation, the Second Star League Defense Force, and the Third Star League Defense Force.

History[edit]

The commanding officer of the first SLDF was appointed by First Lord, with the approval of the Star League Council.[1]

In the second SLDF, the commanding officer was also appointed by the First Lord, with the Council of Lords only able to override an appointment by two-thirds majority.[2] The commanding officer had the authority to deploy up to ten regiments of troops, with larger deployments requiring the authorization of the Council.[3]

The Commanding General of both SLDFs wore four three-dimensional stars on their collar as rank insignia, while a Commanding Admiral wore four cuff stripes.[1]
