What would be the toughest types of mercs/soldiers that earn their way to being the absolute highest ranks within each Faction
Let's say the Empress's Bodyguards, or the Navy Seals of Gallente, etc.
What could be a cool name for these types of elite soldiers per Faction. Feel free to inspire me
Amarr: Echelon, Templars, Chosen,
I'm of course a huge fan of the W40k mythos and always loved the concept of power curve
human>human soldier>human hero without enhancement> space marine > space marine hero > primarch > custodian (elite bodyguard) > emperor

Amarr: Paladins, Crusader, Sentinel (since the amarr sentinel existed first)
Minmatar: Valklear, Einherjar (volunteer soldiers), Berserker, Jarls, Jotunn, Vanir
Caldari: more contemporary definition as the megacorps are highly traditional and conservative. Grenadiers, Shocktroopers, Elite Corps, Scout Snipers, Sappers, Etc.
Gallente: More poetic and evocative names since Gallente seem to push style as well as function. Unit nicknames or descriptors mixed and matched eclectically to show the gallente diversity of personality: Federal Marines, Black Eagles, Rangers, Helldivers, Spartoi (supernatural warriors born of dragon's teeth), Special Operations Capable (SOC), Stalkers (infiltration and assault inside enemy lines), Etc.

The Minmatar Valklears, whilst unquestionably an elite unit, are also universally ex-criminals. I'm not particularly opposed to the idea of having Valklears as such a title but I do think that as absolute top ranking and prestigious ranks they might not be suitable.
I think Einherjar is an excellent suggestion for the Minmatar that I would second. Although I'm not a die-hard Minmatar loyalist I think it fits well with the lore and is an appropriately prestigious title.
Templars were named as an incredibly elite and prestigious unit in Templar One - the soldiers selected for the first generation Templar process were the absolute best the Empire had to offer, but after the failure of the project I'm not sure if there'd be a stigma about it? It's certainly a prestigious term, though.
Any soldier in the Amarr military is known as a Paladin. It's not particularly noteworthy.
I... really want to suggest Imperial Guard... but WH40k. Imperial Templars?
Amongst the Gallente, administrative (but not physical) postings to Luminaire are prestigious, hence Luminaire General being the highest irregular naval rank. Luminaire Marine, perhaps?
Black Eagles are incredibly controversial and I'd hesitate to suggest that name for a top rank. They're also primarily an intelligence arm and aren't attached to military combat branches. I suppose if you stretch this a bit it might fit the DUST mercenary aspect, but you still have the problem of it being a highly controversial organisation even within die-hard Gallente loyalist groups.
There isn't a great deal of lore on well-known elite Gallente military units. There're legends like 62 Bravo Company, but those were regulars.

Caldari State's most powerful military sub factions are corporate owned. they are better trained and funded than State forces.
KAALAKIOTA CORPORATION is the most powerful of the 8 mega corps. It's private police and security organization is called Home Guard.
Though there is little to no actual info on Home Guard.

Toughest does not mean popular. The black eagles, for instance may have an INCREDIBLY bad rep. But they are some of the most viciously effective operatives in New Eden.
They are also responsible for the adaptation of new gear types to unexpected use.
Strapping battleship guns on a mining/security hull resulted in the Talos battlecruiser, a Black Eagle design.

For Minmatar the question is
does 'Duct Tape Virtuoso' make more sense as the lowest rank or the highest rank?

Have you tried speaking with Eve's storyline department and the Mercury section of the ISD? They should have a better idea of the background and actual lore of each faction. At the very least, let them amend what you implement into official Eve lore.

This is true.
I'm not particularly opposed to Black Eagles here, but I'm not hugely for it either.
They do have a very significant paramilitary arm, so that does actually fit DUST mercs...
Hm. Maybe I do like it.

I'll ask around in PIE Inc to see if we can draw up some obscure lore references about this for the Amarr side of things though as far as I understand it there is little enough cannon to really draw answer from. Though there is nothing truly established for the Amarr when it comes to a military heirachy I can make some guesses as to what the progression of skilled units available to the Empire might look like.
Paladin - Otherwise could be Paladin Crusader. This seems more or less to be the rank and file of the Amarr militaries being one of the lowest ranks available to capsuleers within the 24th Imperial Crusade Faction in EVE. Additionally the quotation attached to the Confessor TIII destroy substantiate that it would be a rank in the terrestrial forces or at least at one point had been.
Your first duty is to purge yourself in the flames of your confession before God. You must become ash in God's hands, for only then may you rise anew to strike the adversary down. -Apostle-Martial Zhar Pashay's dawn address to the Paladins at the Battle of Rahdo, Amarr Prime AD 20538
This was apparently recorded from around the time the Amarr were conquering Assimia or the mainland continent that previously belong to (my own people) the Udorian City-States in a pre-space flight era. Additionally there is a Paladin's Creed established in the Scriptures from Prophetess Kuria (possibly a Khanid saint),
"I will not hesitate when the test of Faith finds me, for only the strongest conviction will open the gates of paradise. My Faith in you is absolute; my sword is Yours, My God, and Your will guides me now and for all eternity." - The Scriptures, Prophet Kuria, Paladin's Creed
Paladin are likely the primary infantry available that compose the armies of the Amarr Empire.
Kameiras- Kameira's are genetically engineered and specifically bred Minmatar slave soldiers raised to fight as the Empires elite shock troops. As the legacy of the infamous H.E.P Programme (Human Endurance Programme) they represent soldiers both enhanced through advanced biological and bred carefully to produce only the most desirable genetic compositions which are then taken at young ages and folded into Junior Subigo Houses where they are subject to advanced methods off indoctrination and vigorous physical regimes.
Those who survive life as a Junior Subigo then undertake trials at age fourteen and if successful enter into Senior Subigo Houses and divided into combat sized groups, Their education is then taken to a much more advanced level as their instructors attempt to teach them about their role as a part of the great whole introducing strategy, tactics, survival, hand to hand combat, and operation of military hardware in everything from fire arms to vehicles.
If this is completed satisfactorily they are once more tested and eventually accepted as Adepts at age 19. From here these combat groups are typically given True Amarr officers and drafted into the Amarrian military as irregular units as a result of certain traits being developed over time that otherwise could not be policed within the arms of the regular Amarrian military. Kameira's are the only Amarrian infantry allowed to let their hair grow out, additionally the Kameira's have a unique burial ritual where they burn their dead and rub the ashes into their wounds though this is not known to them until the first time members of their Subigo die in combat.
Khanid Cyber Knights- Cyber Knights take the ideals off martial tradition to the next level. They are the cybernetically enhanced super soldiers drawn entirely from the cadres of the Amarrian elite. Cyber Knights traditionally employ very advanced prothetics and cybernetic enhancements to augment their already impressive capabilities and push them to super human levels.
Cyber Knights can be broken down into two ideals. Modernists who specialise in the development of their skills with conventional and prototype weapons and Traditionalist who prefer to specialise in the martial ideals of the old Empire/Kingdom and are though to wield blade weapons and practice martial arts.
Despite these two fields the indiputable fact remains that a Khanid Cyber Knight is arguably the most combat effective mortal unit available to both the Khanid Kingdom and the Amarr Empire.

Amarr: Echelon, Templars, Chosen,

human>human soldier>human hero without enhancement> space marine > space marine hero > primarch > custodian (elite bodyguard) > emperor
Amarr: Templars, Paladins, Truthspeakers, Reclaimers. This one is a hard category because as established in previous threads - amarr are a hot mess linguistically (persian / abrahamic and latin influences)
Gallente: Elysians, Furies, Trophimoi. I particularly enjoy furies because of how the gallente love that chaos oriented theme.
Minmatar: Thane, Draugr, Vaettr, Einherjar. Maybe there could be a group named after a specific weapon they use because that's a common theme to the minmatar (similar to the franks and the francisca - their throwing axe).
Caldari: (amusingly I'm having the most difficult one with this because of their super corporate ties). So uh... Kirjuun (means comrade in caldari language... no nepotism here >_>), Kugy+ì (Most powerful men in a court), Kamaitachi (wind-weasel - works for stealthy groups i guess and fits in with animal naming schemes)... and then Rasetsu. I am entirely biased here though and this is a messy category.
Sticking kind of with the general toughness (that breakin brings up) I'd put Rasetsu units at the top: These guys were the ones that probably liked it just a bit "too much" to re-integrate back into civilian life after their military service period (think eldar exarchs, they cant separate their personality from "WAR" anymore). You only field these guys when you want everything dead. This is the general feeling you should get from them. The mere connotation of the name is that they are immortals of sheer hate and violence and they 'feed' off of death, trascending the karmic cycle of to become beings of death.

Templar - These are the Immortal Cloned Soldiers we are familiar with in Dust 514. They stand as 2.5m tall (8' 2", eight feet and two inches) biological weapons of metal alloy enhanced exoskeletons wrapped in sheaths of nanite enhanced muscle, gifted with additional redundant organs, and grabted dulled sense of pain. Encased within the armoured mass of a Dropsuit these behemoths stand as the most danagerous infantry known to New Eden.
That being said the Amarr Templars are something special in their own right and somewhat set apart from their own brethern. The original Templars were beholden only to the Imperial Family and most of their lore can be found in the Templar One novels.
However in Dust 514 the Amarr Templars we know are something rather different. The following was drawn from the corporation description.
The business interests of the secretive Emperor Family rarely come under close scrutiny but their involvement in the establishment of the Amarr Templars mercenary company could hardly escape the attention of the wider Empire.
Keen to convey an image of austere piety and ruthless loyalty, the Templars are a favorite with those corporations wishing to carry out 'hostile takeovers' of facilities on Amarr planets.
According to the corporation the following generations are beholden to the Imperial Family but act as mercenaries for powerful families throughout the Empire and are known for being ruthless in the pursuit of their goals.
Beyond that there are many other groups of Immortal Status that can be found in game like the coincidentally apt Royal Ulhans of the Khanid Kingdom (which I was apparent a part of) that specialise in armoured warfare and are often hired by the Tash-Murkon Family (both of which I do), the Order of St Venefice who are Imperial Assassins, the Gladatorial Bragian Orders, and the Sarum aligned Red and Silver Hand.
I do have a question CCP Rattati if you would indulge me. What is the purpose for this?

I suspect these are merely for the sake of player vanity, If this is the case I urge you CCP Rattati to reconsider. This is not the lore we need. Context and setting information is what Dust 514 needs not fancy meaningless titles that appeal to the ego and give the erroneous impression Dust 514 Immortal Clones are integrated into the Empires on an official level.
EDIT- Also Malleus Speakers of Truth aren't soldiers are they? They're just judges and arbitrators who travel around the empire ensuring the Emperor/Empress justice is upheld.
EDIT 2: There is also no simple means of comparison between the Amarr Empire and say a 40k Faction though the Empire might somewhat resemble the combined forces of the Imperium of Man,
If Paladin's are your Astra Militarum then
Paladin - Kameira - Cyber Knight - Templar
Astra Militarum Guardsman - Militarum Tempestus/ Storm Troopers - Skittari Cohorts of the Omnissiah - Space Marines/Adeptus Astartes.

MINMATAR Valklears are already established as an elite group of soldiers within the Republic, and I like the sound of the word. Also, for most cases, I don't like the sound of Norse names, so please don't go with something like "Einherjar." It has to be something snappy and easy to pronounce. The name Einherjar refers to warriors who have died in battle that get taken to Valhalla (I like this word), and I love the concept, but perhaps that meaning can be expressed in a different way, like Spears of Vahalla. Another possible good name is Fenrir Elite -- Fenrir is a chained wolf (would fit as a slavery metaphor) the wolf that kills Odin.
GALLENTE Black Eagles. I would like to see more Black Eagle stuff besides scouts also. If not them, then how aboooout a name like Aegis Marines?
AMARR Templars. Maybe those other groups people mentioned, like Paladins and Kameiras, but I would go with Templars.
CALDARI I would suggest the Ishukone Watch Special Forces. There is also the Caldari Providence Directorate, but they're likely disbanded sense Tibus Heth lost power. I would suggest using something with words like "protectorate" or "directorate," because the sorts of words have a very Caldari feel to them. Another thing to remember is Caldari seem to like animal names, especially birds, so something "Condor Protectorate" would work if you want to make up something.

Well 40k has a strange heirarchy of power where power comes from the top and trickles down.
Emperor High lords of terra = Highest ranking ad mech on mars = Primarchs Highest ranking inquisitors = Officio Assassinorum heads = lords of terra = Space marine chapter masters (though they defer to most of the rest) = Slightly lower ranking ad mech of mars Highest ranking Imperial guard members = Highest ranking ecclesiarchy = Highest ranking rogue traders = people who govern constellations (ranked based on constellation) etc Planetary governors and stuff like lord commisars etc Highest ranking adeptus arbites etc
It starts with the emperor, then goes terra & mars and then branches out and trickles down from there until you get to the common person. It's totally unlike the power structures of our world where it's built from the ground up (people -> leaders -> elected representatives etc).

I'm currently looking through a massive thread on PIE Inc internal forums of every reference to the Amarr Empire from the chronicles and lore put together by Samira Kernher, long may she be remembered as she who knows everything about the Amarr.
The specific reference I am thinking of comes from the Stranded Series in part 3 or 4.....arguably the best for its introduction of 3 concepts.
Sikan- A Minmatar Martial Art Chintaku - Affectionate term meaning 'My Love'
and the name of the unit Balac was attached to before he was immortal.....
The Kilm'ach - Amarrian term for 'Demons' or effectively 'The Demons of the Scriptures'.

The Amarr suggestions are alright, but everything else is bad. The setting is over 20,000 years in the future with societies that restarted from scratch, so using real world corporations like Black Water and Halliburton does not make sense. The Minmatar suggestions are very boring; it's like calling an Amarr elite force "Religious Ones." "Reublican" does not fit as a name for an elite type of soldier.
