Grand General
Encyclopedia : G : GR : GRA : Grand General
- "Grand General" is also a reasonable translation of the Indonesian rank Jenderal Besar and the Nepal military rank of Pradhan Senapati.
Grand General is a fictional military rank of the Star Wars Expanded Universe and is considered the highest possible Imperial Army rank. The rank of Grand General is personally granted by Emperor Palpatine and is regarded as outranking even Imperial Moffs.
The Imperial Navy equivalent of Grand General is known as Grand Admiral. While the rank of Grand Admiral is well known as the rank held by Grand Admiral Thrawn, the position of Grand General is relatively rare and has only been mentioned in a handful of Star Wars literature sources. It can be assumed, that like the position of Grand Admiral, the rank of Grand General was an effort made by Palpatine to bring the Imperial Army under his direct control.
