Didact of the Navy was the highest commissioned officer rank in the Navy of Palaven. Only one member of this force could hold this rank, and it gave them complete operational, logisitical and strategic authority over the Navy and all its fleets and stations; the equivalent in the Systems Alliance military would be a Fleet Admiral of the Navy. The Didact held a dual position in the Commune of the Armed Forces and the Commune of the Hierarchs, answering to Palaven Military Command, the Primarch and the Metarch. The Didact also had the added position of being a potential candidate for becoming the next Primarch.
The last Didact of the Turian Hierarchy was Equtoria Coronati, granddaughter of former Didact Irix Coronati, who led the turian navy throughout the entire Post-Apocalyptic War, right up until the Second Battle of Parnitha, where she was killed during a final engagement between the Turian Hierarchy and the Galactic Dominion. The title 'Didact' would not be used again until the formation of the Neo-Turian Empire, but under a new name.
