A commanding general of the Sardaukar.

Burseg was a military rank used in the Known Universe during and after the Corrino Empire. It was below that of Supreme Bashar, above that of Caid, and two ranks above Bashar.

A Burseg was comparable to a Commanding General or Field Marshal. Shortly before the Battle of Arrakeen, Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV wore a black Burseg's helmet bearing the Imperial crest, as a reminder of the source of his political power.
