Commander

The title of Commander in Vespera was the highest any person could achieve until the confederacy was set up in 81 and the Separation of Powers in 303. These two milestones downgraded Commander’s powers in pursuit of moving away from the stratocracy that governed the Vesperan governments, respectively. Until 81, Commander was Head of State, Commander of Praetorium and Head of Ordo Imperatori Vesperum. After the Confederacy of Vespera was founded, a referendum was held to change Commander’s title to Commander of Prateorium and Vis, Ad Interim Head of State during National Emergency and Acting Head of Ordo Imperatori Vesperum. This change stated that Commander could only take charge of the state in case of an emergency but laws around this position were pretty loose and full of loopholes. After the Second Hypocrisy, it was seen that Commander still had too much power which could result in another Hypocrisy, it was voted that Commander shall only lead the newly-renamed Vesperan Armed Forces (VAF). Commander’s affiliation with the government was fully ceased and the Order decided that his role in Ordo Imperatori Vesperum shall be downgraded to member as to honor Emperor Sarkeilles as the Supreme Leader of the Order.
