At one time, Sector Admiral was the highest rank in the Rebel Squadrons. The rank name and purpose were created by then Fleet Commander Super as part of the Rebel Squadrons ranking system implemented in mid to late 1996.
Purpose and Club Use
Originally, the rank was intended to be for leaders who have two or more fleets under their command, therefore Sector Admirals would have Fleet Commanding Leaders reporting the them. At the time, the Rebel Squadrons was in a period of rapid growth, so such a position seemed like the likely next step in the evolution of the club and its High Command. Over time, some individual ranks have been removed, Sector Admiral being one of those. This rank has not been used since SA Super's first retirement. He was the only person to obtain this rank. Super is currently active in the Rebel Squadrons again and still technically holds this rank.
Exoclub Use
It appears that the term Sector Admiral is found in some science fiction works, games and other online clubs.[[1]] For example, Emperor's Hammer adopted the use of this rank many years ago.[[2]] It is not known when this term was first popularized. However, in an interesting coincidence, the Rebel Squadrons use of this term was not derived from any other sources.
