Baron (Rank)

The rank of Baron is considered by many to be the highest rank any officer has a hope of achieving, and those who have been granted this rank may be known as the model officers of the Directorate. This rank is granted upon ascension to the position of High Moff. Barons have a non-voting seat on the Ministry Council, and may participate in the debates of that exalted body. In addition, Barons are granted the honor of representing a specific place within the Emperor's Hammer Territories, which is reflected in their formal title. In formal address, Barons may add the prefix "Lord" or "Lady" before their name:
High Moff, Lord John Doe, Baron of Phare
High Moff, Lady Jane Doe, Baroness of Phare
