Commodore

A Commodore is an upper mid-level position within the Imperial Navy. Commodores are ranked above Captain s, and report to one of the few types of admiralty. Commodores command one or more ships. Typically, a commodore is the captain of a large ship that also acts as captain to the small ships that function as its support. This saves the Imperial Navy from having to staff captains to the many small support ships within taskforces, and allows the commander of the main vessel a higher level of dictation over how the small task unit functions.

Commodores can also lead entire task forces on small, remote, or unique missions away from the main body of a fleet.
