"...this rank would now hold Authority within all of Gozon's colonies in the Orithyia Galaxy."
""??!!""
To say that the reaction was one of shock would be an understatement—99% of the hall was visibly stunned.
Typically, the ranks held by soldiers from Battlefront worlds had a defined 'Effective Range.'
This range was meant to prevent situations where a General from one world could assert authority over another, causing potential conflicts. If a General from another world gave orders that contradicted the local Generals' commands, it would create confusion among the soldiers, who might face punishment for choosing the wrong side.
To avoid such chaos, this 'Effective Range' was established, limiting their authority over forces that weren't under their direct command—except in emergencies.
