Two other prominent warlords, Harrsk and Zsinj, both used the title of Warlord in preference to their rank as Admirals, but while Harrsk's style of Supreme Warlord was his own invention, Zsinj had certainly been granted the title of Warlord legitimately before Endor, for his fratricidal campaign against his piratical mother in the early days of the Empire.

One of the three leading "warlords", Treuten Teradoc, remained nominally loyal to Imperial Center for more than two years after Endor and, even after this date, Teradoc continued to use only his legitimate title of High Admiral, albeit now claiming authority over an Oversector in the Mid Rim that seems to have been his own invention. Warlords were also sometimes referred to as "jarheads." This usage of the term is generally associated with the fragmentation of Imperial space into mutually hostile localized despotates, but in reality, the situation was more complex than is often realized. " The Empire has broken into six, maybe ten major fragments, ruled by warlords and governors." ― Luke Skywalker, 12 ABY Īfter the Battle of Endor, the term "warlord" came to be applied rather indiscriminately to surviving leaders of the Imperial military and political apparatus.
