Special Executive

The title of Special Executive is a title given to individuals who have done a great service to a company, normally a Giga or MegaCorp. The circumstances that the title may be given can vary, as well as the privileges attached to the title.

Typically the title is given by the majority owner (or a group of shareholders that together own the majority of the stock if there is no single individual who owns more than 50% of the company shares.)   Depending on the company, the CEO may also nominate an individual as Special Executive before the board of directors or similar group.

Traditionally, the title of Special Executive has little authority in the day to day operations of the company as a whole. They do however receive a number of privileges given to regular executives.

In most cases they are given an annual allotment and like other executives have the cost of their use of that privilege discounted from that amount. The use of the same privilege could have different costs (For instance, travel between two planets on a liner owned by Enroe the deductions due to the same cabin could vary from 0 if there liner was partially empty to an amount slightly larger than the what average customer would be charged if someone was bumped by the special executive.)
