Sky Marshal

The Sky Marshal is the leader of the Federation and the highest rank given to members of the the Federal Military.

Starship Troopers novel

Not much is known about the Sky Marshal as the title is only mentioned for few time in the novel. It is noted that to become Sky Marshal, one has to come up through both Fleet and Mobile Infantry. One can start as a trooper and switch to pilot or the other way 'round, but a single track won't do it.

Starship Troopers film universe

The Sky Marshal is the leader of the entire United Citizen Federation and the supreme commander/commander-in-chief of all of the Federal Armed Services.

Notes

• The Sky Marshal dress uniform in Starship Troopers 3: Marauder is uncannily similar to the uniform of Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring. In relation to Anoke's "German" uniform, the uniform in which Enolo Phid wore appears to be a lot similar to our modern day navy uniform, Which is understandable seeing as her previous rank was admiral. And the previous two Sky Marshal's uniforms that looked more Mobile Infantry-based than the last two.

• In all films, there are five known Sky Marshals. So far, nothing has been revealed pertaining to their elite circle. As soon as the Sky Marshal made one mistake, they "retired", which implies they were pressured into it. And for all we know, there seemed to be another Sky Marshal between Meru and Anoke.

• There seems to be a pretty high turnover rate for Sky Marshals in the film universe. There's a new Sky Marshal in each film and in three of the films the Sky Marshal gets replaced by someone else (meaning there are two Sky Marshals in each one of those three films). In the first film Sky Marshal Dienes resigns after the failed Battle of Klendathu and is succeeded by Tehat Meru. In the third film Sky Marshal Omar Anoke is succeeded by Enolo Phid after his betrayal and death, and in the fifth film Carl Jenkins becomes the temporary acting Sky Marshal after Amy Snapp lets the Bugs invade Mars and tries to blow it up. While resigning due to an operation's failure, one's own death, or engaging in treasonous activities seem to be the only on-screen indications of Sky Marshal being replaced; it's also possible that they may only serve a single 3-5 year term or just rarely win reelection. After Enolo Phid becomes Sky Marshal in Marauder, four years later in Invasion Richard Riverfield is the Sky Marshal, and five years after that in Traitor of Mars Amy Snapp is the Sky Marshal. Another three years later in the game Starship Troopers: Extermination there's yet another Sky Marshal named Catherine Ramsey.

• It is currently unknown how the line of succession works for the Sky Marshal and if they even have a second-in-command or not. Presumably they would either appoint one or one would be elected alongside them as their running mate, however this can not be confirmed. It could be possible that in the case of a Sky Marshal's resignation or death the next person in line would be the next highest ranking official, or an emergency election would be held to find a replacement, however once again none of this can be confirmed.
