A sector admiral denoted an admiral assignment within the structure of the Galactic Empire. Prior to the Battle of Scarif, General Sotorus Ramda instructed Lieutenant Berretic, his assistant, to forward a request through the chain of command of the oversector until confirmation was received. Ramda specified, however, that the request should not be directed to Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, given Tarkin's close relationship with the Emperor Palpatine and the imperative to always present their most favorable image to Palpatine; consequently, he instructed Berretic to instead route the request to one of the sector admirals.
