Commander in Chief

Commander in Chief

It is a left over title of United Earth that somehow transferred to the United Stars of the Galaxy. Before the Union Presidents had almost dictatorial powers once war was declared and the president became the highest commanding officer over all military assets (The Four Terran Atrocities were ordered by a President). The Union President is always the Commander in Chief (except during war) and it is more a ceremonial title with little actual power. In times of war it is the President that expresses the will of the Assembly during war time and all tactical decisions are taken by the Military. The President does have the right to inspect all military units at all times and must be saluted by all Uniform wearing members of the Armed forces.

During war the Admiral of the Fleet becomes the defacto leader of all branches and all Units and must sit in the Assembly and keep the members constantly informed and updated and the assembly can at any point call for an emergency vote to issue commands to the Military directly. In strict terms, the people of the United Stars are the Commander in Chief.
