For the Colonial prisoner of the same name, see: Thane.
Thane is a title used by command-level officers within The Comitat.
Thanes typically command frigates, and wear similar full-body armors like other members of the Comitat in order to show unity among the divergent races of the Empyrean Expanse (Comics: Battlestar Galactica Classic #1 — 4). In the rare instance where a leader is unavailable, each Thane shares a voice in the Comitat leadership in lieu of having a singular figurehead, which results in decisions that eschew alacrity (Comics: Battlestar Galactica Classic #3 — 4).
