T5SS codes for nobility?

[maksimsmelchak]

*** What exactly do the T5SS codes for nobility actually mean? ***

The T5SS nobility codes are:
* B Knight
* c Baronet
* C Baron
* D Marquis
* e Viscount
* E Count
* f Duke
* F Subsector Duke
* g Grand Duke
* G Archduke
* H Emperor

*** So does a B code mean that a single knight resides on a world or several knights? ***

Also, for anyone willing to take a few minutes, please look over the following two Wiki pages and see if they are missing anything important, are in need of correction, or otherwise could use a judicious edit or two...

Code B means there is one knight assigned as the Imperial Representative to/for that world. There might be other nobles present, but not with enfeoffed imperial status as the knight of ____.
Code c means the IR is a Baronet, but there may be multiple knights enfeoffed there, as well.
etc.

consider Imperialine #7

long article on nobility. The possibility to have Honor or Ceremonial titles beside landed title allows to multiply the nobles on a planet.

Beside, The first Hex of a land grant in T5.09 p 68 is on the homeworld of the noble. So peoples awarded titles not directly linked to their home world gets holding on homeworld anyway. So while T5SSS may give you a Baron, half a dozen home kids that would have made baron across the sector may have a piece of estate on their home world.

Higher noble could have parts of their fief spread across many worlds. So every Count of the spinward marches may have a holding on the nice leisure world of Focaline alongside every Marquis of the subsector... beside the nobles that hold fief as per the formal T5SSS descrition: a knight, a Baronet, a Baron,

The yearly Focaline Regata is a important social gathering filled with subsector 's nobles having estate there.

have fun

Bascially, the T5 Noble Extension gives the list of Landed Nobles (= old "High Nobles") for the wolrd (one of each type listed).

The world may have any number of Ceremonial (= old "Rank Nobles") or Honor/Legacy Nobles resident on world. They are not listed in any codes, as they are not directly associated with the world in any official capacity.
