Discussion Where are the Army Corps Commanders?

[Cinera]

In her speech about her plans for a Tower wide war, Maschenny laid out the most significant factions of the Tower:

Spoiler

The Ten Great Family Leaders at the top of the tower and their direct descendants.

The Slayers and Elders of FUG.

The disciples of the Workshop, shrouded in secrecy.
The new powers emerging in the Tower, headed by Wolhaiksong.

And the countless ancient warriors who disappeared from the rankings at some point.

And even King Jahad and his Princesses–

All of these people who have maintained a careful balance of power this whole time, keeping an eye on each other,

Are gradually beginning to fight each other.

Zahard's Corps Commanders are nowhere to be found. I mean one could say that the Squadron Commanders are subordinate to the Empire, but Maschenny listed the most significant players (including) subordinates of each faction:

• Ten Family Leaders and their Direct Descendants
  • Direct Descendants
    • Ha Twins
    • Ari Chun (one of the three lords)
• Slayers and Elders of FUG
  • Slayers:
    • Luslec
      
    • White
    • Yama
    • ....
      
    • Karaka
  • Elders:
    • Khell Hellam
    • Sophia Tan
• Disciples of the Workshop
  • Ashul Edwaru (creator of the 13 Months)
• The Ancient Warriors who disappeared from the rankings
  • Jinsung is one of the "Ancient Beasts" Maschenny spoke of, and he's top 100.
  • As a Blue Hole, Khell Hellam is probably one too.
• King Jahad and his princesses
  • Princesses
    • Eurasia Enne Zahard: #7
    • Adori Zahard: #7
    • Arie Hagipherione Zahard: #36
    • Khun Maschenny Zahard: Top 100
    • Arie Horn Zahard: (Sealed White)
    • Heice Zahard: (Declined 13 months, fought Enne)
    • Garam Zahard: (Much stronger than Yuri)
    • Alphid Zahard
    • An Zahard
    • Ha Yuri Zahard

It appears that the Corps Commanders are on average a less formidable force than the Princesses. If they were a comparable force, they would have been mentioned alongside them.

Not only did they not make the cut for Zahard, they were not included at all. They are not one of the significant powers of the Tower. I would guess that the top 5 princesses are probably comfortably above the Corps Commanders and a few of the others are around the Corps Commanders in power.

Adori, Enne and maybe even Hagi' can arguably solo all the corps commanders put toguether, so the princesses as a force stand on a whole another level. That being said, your average princess is far weaker than a corps commander in both power and potential.

Not your average 13 Month Princess.

All the current 13 Month Princesses are above the Corps Commanders in potential. Yuri is the only one that's below them in power (and not for long).
