On the global scale, there are the four Fleet Commanders (''Magistrassis'') who each lead one of the High Fleets of Caphiria. These fleets are classed as ''Omnium'', ''Levantine'', ''Odoneru'', and ''Aquilonem''. Although militarily speaking all four ''Magistrassis'' are of equal ranking, the ''Magistrassis Omnium'' is the second most prestigious military position in the Navy.
