Shadow Badge vs. Imperial Warrant

[MCEvans]

If two agents came to a base commander one with a Shadow Badge (SB) and one with an Imperial Warrant (IW). Who has precedence the one with the SB or the one with the IW?

I ask because the description of the power and scope of a SB sounds like an IW but can be in the hands of a PC where as an IW is a rare thing and most likely in the hands of NPCs.

Note: I've posted this question on CotI/Mongoose Forum.

I would say the Imperial Warrant takes precedence. It is given by the Emperor himself, while the Shadow Badge can be bestowed by someone as low ranking as a subsector Duke.

Granted only by the power of a Subsector Duke or higher, the four Imperial agency licences, their descriptions, requirements and benefits, are found below:
