"You can order a squad, a platoon or even a company to take a hill, but they need to believe they can take it. War has never been about who holds the bigger stick. War has been about faith. If you can wave your faith in the enemy's face more than they can, you've won. Now...let's go beat the Reapers to death with it."

— Steven Hackett

Summus Imperator Steven Hackett was an admiral in the Systems Alliance Navy and Systems Coalition Navy, and the former commanding officer of the Fifth Fleet. Famous for joining the UNAS Navy and rising through the ranks faster than any known human in the service previously, Hackett was a Vice Admiral by the age of 28; this rank carried over when he joined the Systems Alliance Navy. Originally in command of the SSV Southampton,  he was given command of the SSV McKinley once promoted to Fleet Admiral. He commanded the Fifth Fleet for an extended period of time, and lead the fleet in the Battle of the Citadel and the Invasion of the Sol System. After the death of Joseph Garrong, Hackett succeeded him as Fleet Admiral of the Navy, as well as overall command of the entire Systems Alliance military: he also served, alongside Shepard, as the human representative in the UGC. Following the war, he remained Fleet Admiral of the Navy when the Coalition was formed, and later became the Summus Imperator of the Dominion until the beginning of the Post-Apocalyptic War, where he was forced to retire by Coalition military command due to his age and "lack of motivation" regarding Operation: Focus Detriment.
