Foreword: The titles I chose err very much so on the side of introducing fluff to people and have a focus on trying to expand the universe and its fluff, I'm more than happy to answer questions and attempt to iterate upon ideas so long as it's done in a civil, constructive and non-argumentative manner, I don't want this thread turning south like the last one did.

EinherjiarAll fairly generic nordic words (one of the root influences of the minmatar language and culture), placed in order of importance. Galm Fae was the primary originator of these titles and would be the person to ask, as my understanding of the language is a little weak.
Caldari titles1) Shaatei (Lowest Ranking Member)
2) Ashigaru (Foot soldiers of Feudal Japan)
3) Kirjuun (caldari word equivalent of 'comrade')
4) Shogun (Ancient Warlords
5) Daimyo (Landowning Noble)
6) R+ìj+½ (Highest Ranking in their group)
