The High Fist was the highest ranking officer in a theatre of operations. Its naval equivalent was an Admiral. He could only be overruled by the Emperor or Empress him/herself or, by extension, his or her Adjunct.

Since there has always been only one High Fist per continent in the series, it is fair to assume a High Fist would typically be in command of the operations on an entire continent, both military and administrational.
