How about ‘Basher’? It was what the british generals were called in india
during its colonial times. Also in Frank Herbert’s dune series it is used for
roughly the same rank. I always thought it held a bit of romance as far as
military titles go.

the term ‘Basher’ (or Bashar, as Herbert uses it) is such a beautiful term.
Especially when thinking about Miles Teg, but that is something else altogether.
Personally, one of my favorite things about the ‘ranks’ were how different and
interesting they could be. And while everyone may feel the need to become an
admiral, i’m happy as a junior marshal. hopefully one day i’ll make full
marshal, but i can wait until then.
i also like that there is only one ‘grand admiral’, despite many different
admirals out there, there’s only one on top.
On another thought, what about using nobility terms? marquis, duke, earl, count,
baron, archduke, etc etc.
