A former mercenary commander, Dant Fax Celestis was renowned the world over for his speed. Battle prowess, not always, but speed, yes. After all, speed kills. Fax Celestis (Fax for short) only held office for a short period of time before being assassinated by CSC infiltrators.
During his time in office, however, Fax was able to accomplish a few things. Officially declaring the Duchy of Kildare in a permanent state of martial law and moving the military there, he immediately began the development of several new weapons and began setting up branches of the military for special operations.
Fax Celestis also introduced the ranking system used within Shireroth's military today (from highest to lowest):
i. Dant
ii. Mil
iii. Cent
iv. Tweg
v. Caud
vi. Dec
vii. Striker
viii. Wynt
ix. Aksai
x. Alt
xi. Aspirant

From Fax Celestis' bio:
From a distance I'm concerned about the rampant lawyerism manifesting itself in Shireroth currently. A simple Kaiserial slap on the wrist or censure by the community should suffice. - Jacobus Loki

Re: Military Ranks
You would have loved the stories he wrote, his artwork, and his sense of humor. Fax is certainly missed here.
Re: Military Ranks
Are these stories somewhere online? Maybe I can place them on the Kildarian website.

There's a chance they went up in flames with the Halucigrad Library...

Re: Military Ranks
It's possible some exist in Fax' on computer archives. Erik still has contact with him, and perhaps could ask him. Otherwise, I fear they may be gone for gooe. The only remnants now existing in a form undeleted during the hack, are, I believe, part of Scott's fine book Unaimed Arrow, which has a plot and atmosphere which use much of Fax's cultural flavor.
