	A '''duke''' or a '''duchess''' is the ruler or monarch of a sovereign [[wikipedia:Duchy\|duchy]], or a high-ranking member of the nobility within a kingdom or empire. Manticoran [[Duchy\|duchies]] are held as territories subsidiary to the Star Kingdom, so ~~[[SKM]]~~ dukes and duchesses, while they are the administrators of their territories, are still subjects of the [[sovereign]] rather than ~~monarchs~~ of their duchies.		A '''duke''' or a '''duchess''' is the ruler or monarch of a sovereign [[wikipedia:Duchy\|duchy]], or a high-ranking member of the nobility within a kingdom or empire. Manticoran [[Duchy\|duchies]] are held as territories subsidiary to the Crown of the [[Star Kingdom of Manticore]], so dukes and duchesses, while they are the administrators of their territories, are still subjects of the [[sovereign]] rather than independent rulers of their duchies.

	For the most part, a ducal title is synonymous with a regional governorship. However, in exceptional cases an [[earl\|earl/countess]], or even more rarely, a [[baron\|baron/baroness]] may be the highest ranking peer in an administrative district. In such cases, that peer has the same regional governor responsibities as a duke/duchess.
