Baron or Baroness

The lowest rank accorded membership in the peerage and participation in the Moot. A baron in the high nobility usually has a fief of land on a single world. Planetary nobility who rule a world are sometimes granted a barony on that world, partly as a courtesy and partly to give them a stake in the ruling of the empire. Honour Nobility Barons typically serve in Imperial administrations or planetary governments. Imperial admirals and generals are often granted the honor title of baron without a fief or duties.
