No ranks

There are no predefined or permanent "ranks" within the Imperium.  Those denote that someone has more power than someone else no matter what, and this often leads to greed and corruption. In the Imperium, leadership arises out of personal charisma, decisions and foresight. People follow each other because of symbolic leadership, not divine right, and that means it can always be taken away from a leader the moment he forgets to humble himself. That is how it should be and that is how it is.
That is the very nature of our Cell system.
