Titan Moderati

A Moderatus (plural Moderati) is, after the Princeps, the most senior crew member in rank aboard an Imperial Titan.^[1] They usually assist the Princeps to operate the weapons, motive systems, and void shields of the Titan as well as sensors. Like the Princeps, a Moderatus has a hardwired link with the Titan's manifold to access its systems. While a Moderati maybe more strongly connected than the Princeps with the systems they are assigned to operate, they are not as strongly connected to the Titan's Machine-Spirit, nor systems outside of their assigned station.^[3]
