But he is not just any officer, he is an officer of the empress's personal guard, who in peacetime serves as a special unit to combat all sorts of threats, and as an inspiration to all "lower" units.
That is, in quotation marks, since the Imperium does not recognize the word as "lower population" or "lower level", every profession, and every activity is taken as necessary for the functioning of the Imperium as a whole, and properly valued in society.
As a member of the empress's personal guard, he lives, like other imperial guards, in the capital of Eleda, the Imperial City.

Derren, in spite of his important function, felt that he was not good enough for the Imperium, that he was not doing enough for the good of all. His desire to serve the people of the Imperium often amazed even the high priests of the Libratian Church (new church based on libertarianism and education), with who Derren had a close relationship. The high priest is his greatest psychological support, and also the man to whom he could confide.
As an officer of the imperial guard he was also meeting with the empress herself, and often spoke to her.
