A re-tooled dark heresy, rogue trader, deathwatch or the like could work.

I really don't think it's much to insinuate that 250,000 (at most) immortal mercenaries up and declared themselves warlords when they each have single-handedly both killed and died the equivalent of some countrys' entire armies.
Warlords in the traditional sense? Probably not. But warlords none the less.
EDIT: And there's nothing wrong with that, at all. Because while we started out as 'just another grubby soldier fighting in wars bigger than we' originally, we're -100% OFFICIALLY- clone troopers. Mercenaries are a profession, not all of us are mercenaries. We are, on the other hand, god-like warriors or soldiers who are merciless in effect in the only thing we know how to do: War.

noun
a military commander, especially an aggressive regional commander with individual autonomy.
While we do not command armies of individuals, we do command personal armies of our own clones.
If so we are potentially a treat for the faction, but we are also useful for them, something like: you can do the cleaning in hour houses, but you can't live next to us, shouldn't we all be moved to outer space regions?
There's a reason PC is restricted to Molden Heath, afterall.
Have a suggestion for the Planetary Services Department?

All it takes to be a warlord is a gun, the knowledge of how to use it, a few buddies, and a patch of space where no one local can stop you.
A rank newbie in DUST aspires to become one of the faceless nightmares locked into power armor and wielding weapons that cannot be employed in population centers because the mere act of pulling the trigger can result in a heat bloom that would incinerate any bystanders in a 20m radius.
Even a raw cloned soldier with a makeshift warship is a threat to a valklear, templar or even kameiras regiment.
He is well armed, well armored, has no fear of death and commands the ability to deploy some of the most lethal technology known to New Eden.
He commands a support crew whose sole purpose is to deliver him to the place where people will die.
Capsuleers are often referred to as immortal demigods in new eden. The new demigods are seemingly children of the very gods of war once worshipped in forgotten times.
Regardless if he commands no other infantry a single cloned mercenary can rule a batylefield. The only place he can be put in check is by his peers.
This makes him a warlord.
And there's nothing most regular civilians or even soldiers in New Eden can do to halt him for long.
And in molden heath, the demigods rule in the stead of traditional district governments, carving kingdoms out of the ashes.
And New Eden watches, wringing their hands waiting for the mercs to realize there's more than just Molden Heath. There's all of lowsec contested zones. There's the untapped worlds in nullsec.
And most terrifyingly, the worlds of high security empire space are ripe for bleeding. CONCORD is set up to deal with capsuleers in space, guarding hisec.
They really never saw a need to build a force to protect the ground side.

I found a document from 2012 on reddit that listed all supercap (Titan & Mothership) pilots who had ever been on a kill mail as far back as they could find, all API verified. There were over 3500 unique supercarrier pilots and over 1100 unique Titan pilots. This was 3 years ago. Dreads, carriers, freighters, jump freighters and capital industrial ships are much more common. based on further maths done I estimated that our warbarges would only need to be 3-5million m3 for all of the crazy things we use them for, this is 1/3rd to 1/2 the size of the smallest and most common of those and still only 1/5th to 1/3rd the size of the smallest freighters and carriers.
You can add at least one more supercap pilot to that list, I didn't have the skills in 2012. Now, I can fly them, but never do. I prefer small ship combat....
of course, I suck at that. a 2 year break and nearly every ship I had got exploded in one night fighting with RvB. For some reason, even with 19 other people in my fleet, I got targeted first every. single. time. |

Honestly I'm pretty fond of the system they use across the pen and paper 40k games... And the best part is that you can translate the stats into tabletop too (divide by 10) if you really want to get into a pissing contest with friends as to who is deadlier: Space Marines vs Immortal Clone Soldiers.

I mean our current local, wouldn't make more sense if we were spreaded across null sec regions?

Try HARDER!
Something serious, with a dark flair worthy of New Eden.

1. It is just a name. We weren't really uprising during Uprising. It was all background lore stuff.
2. We all have our own little barge. That makes us a Warlord amongst the sheep.
3. Who is to say that we are all warlords? Maybe you can head canon it that those that are just joining may have a clunker of a ship akin to The African Queen while the 'real warlords' are those that are massively powerful.
4. Immortal mercenaries are capable of doing things that are far beyond the capability of normal soldiers. While it would be taking it from another game, there really should have been weak sauce AI enemies like Titanfall. Think that level of power. We have using Dropsuits, Equipment, Weapons that would instantly kill any normal person. Hell, Drop Uplinks are a death sentence for anyone that goes through it essentially giving you super cancer that kills you in a few hours. Not a big deal to us but for a normal soldier, they are impossible to use. Even our clones are reinforced to run faster, long, hit harder, and be more durable than anything that could exist naturally. We are all bad asses, even the new player, compared to true grunts.
5. It is just a name.
Seriously, you can head canon any of it.
As a sidenote, we still die from the uplink thing.
Just that we expire in combat faster than the super cancer can get us, so whatever lol
