Quartermaster General of the Imperial Armies

Revision as of 11:29, 12 April 2014

Overview

The Quartermaster General of the Imperial Armies is an Imperial Title in the senate.

The title was created at the Autumn Equinox summit of 377YE, and Janusz Dalibor von Temeschwar appointed to the position by the Senate.

Responsibilities of the Quartermaster General

The Quartermaster General is expected to take responsibility for the logistics of the Empire's armies. They may be called upon to advise the Senate on the needs of the armies, so that they may best pass motions for the resupply, development or building of armies and fortifications. They are expected to acquire resources swiftly and efficiently using allocated Senate funds to satisfy these requirements, and to liaise between the Senate and Military Council on logistical matters.

Powers of the Quartermaster General

Stipend

The Quartermaster General receives a stipend of 25 Thrones each season from the Imperial Treasury.

Additional Powers

When the title was created it was unclear which other powers, if any, this title had been granted. The civil service will raise procedural motions at the Winter Solstice Summit 377YE to clarify whether this title has the power to:

resupply an Imperial army.
raise a new Imperial army.
repair a fortification.
create a new fortification.

If the title does possess one or more of these powers, they would still be procedurally announced to the Senate by the civil service (although no voting would be involved), and subject to the veto of the Imperial Synod.

Selection of the Quartermaster General

The Quartermaster General is appointed by the Senate as a procedural vote. The title is appointed during the Autumn Equinox. Any Imperial citizen may hold the post.

Removing the Quartermaster General

The Quartermaster General is appointed every year. The Quartermaster General of the Imperial Armies can be revoked by the General Assembly or the Council of Nine.

History

The first Quartermaster General of the Imperial Armies was Janusz Dalibor von Temeschwar of the Bloody Butchers of Temeschwar.
