As of current Rebels, who are the top 10 authorities/figureheads in the Empire? An ordered list is preferred.

Grand General Tagge too Beni, should be above Vader. Which man...I was hoping he'd become a prominent figure in the New Canon, since they had him survive the Death Star...oh well.

Yeah, Tagge only became Vader's superior after the first Death Star was destroyed -- and that was meant as more of a punishment than anything... Palpatine was pissed.
Figured 10 might be too much, but I didn't want to limit it strictly to 5... Just looking for an upper-echelon list, is all.
Where would Governor Pryce fall on your list?

Judging by the responses, it looks like I had the pecking order correct. I was just curious, because the EU ranking system was all over the place.

Probably about the same as their Legends counterparts, since they can take control of ships and resources to do their job. Although the Legends ones are probably a little better, since they could take entire fleets.

Vader is called "Palpatine's right hand man" in the R1 novelisation for what that's worth. I'd say going by that and the novel Tarkin, that Vader and Tarkin's positions are likely interchangeable depending on circumstances.
Vader is Palpatine's right hand man. That doesn't necessarily mean that he "outranks" Tarkin, just as a CEO's executive assistant doesn't outrank a CFO.
Didn't say he outranks Tarkin. Just that Vader's not so easily ranked.
But Vader was given command of the entire Imperial military in the last post ANH Vader comic. So it's like you said that it's only by ESB he has a proper rank/designation with regards to the fleet.
In Vader's entry it says: "except for Tarkin" he controls all of the Emperor's servants, yet it still lists Grand Moffs below Vader himself.
Now I know Tarkin outranks Vader, but is that exclusive to Tarkin, or are all Grand Moffs above Vader?
