Living a double life, he was also Palpatine, a Naboo Senator and phantom menace. He manipulated the political system of the Galactic Republic until he was named Supreme Chancellor -- and eventually Emperor – and ruled the galaxy through fear and tyranny.
Darth Vader was the first to hold the office of Supreme Commander under the Galactic Empire, and held authority over the entirety of the Imperial Military scattered in Imperial Space.
The highest rank in the Imperial Military was Military Executor/Supreme Commander, Grand General in the Imperial Army, and Grand Admiral in the Imperial Navy. Malcor Brashin was a notable Imperial Grand General and Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Thrawn), Gilad Pellaeon and Morlish Veed are examples of famous Grand Admirals.
Um, well, Maul was a Sith apprentice, as much as the likes of Dooku and Vader. They never became the reigning Dark Lord of the Sith. So if by rank you request what was his place in the Sith Order, then Maul was the Sith apprentice of Darth Sidious, into the Rule of Two, a Banite Sith.

Why Palpatine REFUSED to Confront Obi-Wan Directly (Was He Scared?) - Star Wars Explained
Who did Palpatine fear?
Thus, while Qui-Gon was less powerful than the likes of Yoda and Mace Windu, Palpatine feared him more. In the simplest terms, he was a wild card, and with the Sidious executing an intricate decades-long plan to seize power and destroy the Jedi, a wild card was something he just couldn't afford.
But throughout TCW (obviously before RotS), he is referred to as, a Jedi Knight, a general (the military rank of a Jedi Knight), and he is even referred to as Master Jedi.
Legends-era Grand Admirals outranked Grand Moffs, but were outranked by the Grand Vizier (Sate Pestage), the Supreme Commander and Executor (both ranks held by Darth Vader), and the Emperor himself.
Grand Moff was a military and political title in the hierarchy of the Galactic Empire. Grand Moffs were governors of Oversectors, which were grouped star systems and sectors that demonstrated signs of unrest.
On the contrary, Tarkin was above Vader in the Imperial hierarchy. Vader had no real ranking, but since he was the Emperor's right hand man, he could often order officers around and, occasionally, even Moffs. Tarkin was something different.
By killing Palpatine, Darth Vader not only struck a decisive blow to Star Wars' Galactic Empire but also destroyed the Sith Order of Darth Bane's dynasty as the Chosen One prophecy predicted.
Summary. Jar Jar Binks's clumsiness may not be genuine, but rather an act to disguise his true nature as a Sith Lord infiltrating the Republic. Palpatine carefully orchestrated events to manipulate the galaxy, and Jar Jar's involvement suggests he may have been the eyes and ears on Naboo.
History. A dark side warrior with a mysterious past, Kylo Ren was neither Jedi nor Sith, but a product of both sides' teachings. Once an apprentice of Luke Skywalker's, he killed his fellow students and drove Skywalker into exile, becoming a First Order warlord and servant of Supreme Leader Snoke.
Drumroll please... Move aside, Anakin Skywalker. Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience. He won pretty handily as well, as he was victorious in 89,756 of his 95,243 battles and had a win percentage of 94.2%.
Even though Kylo Ren uses a red lightsaber, harnesses the dark side of the Force, and wears a cape, he is not a Sith. Because of that, he can never hold the title of Darth. Instead, he was just a chaotic mess of the dark side (until he eventually found his way back to the light).
The obvious answer is Darth Vectivus, a Sith Lord who lived in his house and didn't try to conquer the galaxy or destroy the Jedi. And while he wasn't evil, he wasn't good, either. However, there is one good Sith. That would most likely be Darth Vectivus.
Summary. Palpatine's true source of power comes from his intense hatred for everyone in the galaxy, which only fuels his strength. Not only that, but the more people hate Palpatine, the stronger he becomes as well, making inspiring hatred a crucial part of increasing his strength.
Though Yoda and Qui-Gon respected each other, they were often at odds due to their differing beliefs; Yoda looked to the future while Qui-Gon lived in the moment.
