During the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire employed the rank of District Commander. Bane Nothos, who was an officer within the Imperial Navy, possessed this rank while attempting to sabotage the Alliance to Restore the Republic's Shantipole Project within the Roche asteroid field.
District Commanders oversaw specific districts within Gralleenya and Questal's capital city. These commanders collaborated with Turf Bosses, overlooking illicit actions in return for suppressing rebellion.
