Description
(From Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes - 2018):
Militarized githyanki cultures assign ranks and responsibilities to citizens. Groups of ten warriors follow the commands of sarths (githyanki warriors; see the Monster Manual), while ten sarths obey the commands of a mighty kith’rak. These champions undergo torturous training and psionic testing until they can command the respect of their underlings.
(from Planescape: A Guide to the Astral - 1996):
As a githwarrior rises in the ranks, [they gain] the title sarth, or “sergeant.” From there, a warrior can raise to the rank of Kith'rak, or “captain.” Kith'rak are answerable only to the supreme leader they serve (and as always, the queen).
Once again, it’s important to remember that knights function outside this ranking system.
