Baron of the Empire was a starfighter title bestowed upon servants of the Galactic Empire for outstanding service to it, similar to the titles of Tan (for exceptional starfighter pilots) and Warlord of the Empire. Galactic Emperor Palpatine himself granted the title to Soontir Fel, an Imperial starfighter ace, for his excellent performance at the Battle of Derra IV.[1] With the title came a baton signifying the rank and an estate, in Fel's case on his homeworld of Corellia.[2]
