Star Captain is a mid-level officer rank within the Clan military structure, equivalent to a Captain in the Inner Sphere. A Star Captain may command a Binary, Trinary, or Supernova unit among ground and aerospace forces, command a DropShip or JumpShip, or serve as a senior officer aboard a WarShip. Some Clans make use of the Nova Captain rank to differentiate commanders of Supernova units.[1][2] A larger commission would typically include 10 MechWarriors, 50 Elementals, 35+ serviceman for the related equipment, plus additional functionaries (or the equivalent numbers for Aerospace fighters, Protomechs, etc).
Star Commanders usually require years of exceptional service before being promoted to Star Captain. Alternatively, a sibko cadet can test into the position by defeating three opponents during his/her Trial of Position, an exceptional and extremely rare event. Star Captain is the highest rank a Clan warrior can achieve without having a Bloodname.[citation needed]

Unlike most other Clans, there is an official Nova Captain rank available to warriors in the Hell's Horses touman. These officers command a Binary or Trinary of Novas.
