History

The role of High Commander was created during the creation of the Republic under the High Sovereign Tyran. High commander at the time of its creation was seen more as figurehead role then an actual role, due to High Sovereign Tyrans' involvement within the Republic. Tyran believed that the High Sovereign should lead the Republic and the Republic Army.
It was during the Second Age, that the High Commander role was seen as an actual leading role within the Republic. High Sovereign Ganther saw reason that the High Commander role should be one that has weight and meaning. Ganther realized that he could not lead the Republic and the Republic Army at the same time.
