Military
The Dand military is led by the Bureau of Houses, which means that it is controlled by the ruling houses. While everyone can join the army the commanders usually belong to the ruling houses and only very exceptional officers can become fleet commanders if they are from a non-ruling house. The military has a clear ranking system with the starship commander above everyone, except a fleet commander who is the supreme commander when present. While the military has a collection of fleet commanders and ground forces commanders the Bureau of Houses is still the supreme leader of the military. Promotions can be accelerated either through positions of power in the Dand society or by money. Even non-enlisted Dands who hold a high position within the Dand society can achieve high military ranks.
The Dand military is officially the defense fleet of the Dand Oligarchy, but it is believed that unofficially many of their ships participate in various pirate and raiding missions, especially in the Beta Quadrant Free-zone.
