Kallus next turned his attention to creating a dedicated chain of command for the fleet, ensuring its operational efficiency and preparedness for future challenges. To oversee this structure, he appointed Ezra Tango as the Fleet Admiral, entrusting him with the ultimate authority over all fleet operations.
Under Ezra's command were the 13 Antares-Class Battleships, powerful vessels that ford the backbone of the fleet. Kallus instructed Ezra to select the most competent and competitive officers to fill critical leadership roles, ensuring the chain of command was robust and reliable.

This reorganization not only reinforced the ground forces' capabilities but also prepared them for the demands of future campaigns. Kallus's vision ensured that every soldier and officer understood their role within a larger system, creating a unified and disciplined force ready to uphold the empire's authority on any battlefield.
Next, Kallus turned his attention to the cha Forces, a versatile and powerful branch capable of engaging in ground, planetary, and space battles and defense. Recognizing their flexibility and multi-role capabilities, he established a separate command structure tailored to their unique functions.
At the helm of the cha Forces, Kallus appointed Damien Walker as the Marshal of cha Forces, granting him supre authority over their operations. The rank hierarchy under Damien was carefully crafted to ensure clear leadership and effective command:

While acknowledging the fledgling nature of the Void Empire, Kallus explained that it would take ti to establish a complete governnt structure, including key positions such as Finance Minister and other administrative roles essential for a fully functioning empire.
"With our current population of just 10,000, such a frawork is neither necessary nor feasible at this stage," Kallus announced.
Despite his empire's nascent state, Kallus ensured that the newly established power structures—the Fleet Command, Ground Forces, cha Forces, and any future organizations—would all recognize him as the 'Supre Authority', the ultimate decision-maker above all command hierarchies.
To incentivize excellence and maintain a ritocratic system, Kallus introduced a promotion and reward policy for both military and administrative positions.
