The term "First Castallan" was bestowed upon Resh a lieutenant of the deposed Autarch Tieran, as a reward for the military officer's loyalty.

Discussion: The exact nature of the term and the office such a term confers upon the holder is unknown. The term could be a military rank, similar to Admiral, General, Captain, Colonel, etc... The term could be title of nobility, such as: Prince, Grand-Duke, Duke, Marquess, Count, Viscount or Baron.

There is clear evidence that royal and/or noble titles exist on Ilari. Ilari is a hereditary monarchy, ruled by an Autarch, likely equal to an Emperor on Earth, since the planetary ruler's residence is called the "Imperial Palace." There was mention of a viceroy, who would some ally himself with Tieran's government. ST: VOY "Warlord" Traditionally, a viceroy is a position or title held by a noblemen or military officer, who serves as the ruler or governor of a territory on behalf of a monarch.

Although, some evidence supports that Resh was given a title of nobility for his loyal service to Tieran, there is no hard evidence to support this conclusion and the rank/title will remain a source of speculation.
