For specific ranks see Military Ranks


Commodore is a naval military rank, often roughly equivalent to that of Colonel.

SLDF[edit]

In the first SLDF, a Commodore wore a small star as their rank insignia and commanded a major WarShip or important recharging station.[1] To reach this rank, an SLDF Navy officer needed at least ten years of service.

In the LAAF, the naval equivalent of Colonel is Kaptain. The rank of Kommodore is actually equivalent to Hauptmann-General. Like their ground based counterparts, a Kaptain wears a pair of diamonds as their rank insignia.

Free Worlds League[edit]

In the FWLM, the rank of commodore used in one of two cases:

  • The commanding officer of an aerospace fighter wing attached to a BattleMech regiment that also has its own DropShips. (The commanding officer of a wing attached to a 'Mech regiment lacking permanent DropShip support holds the rank of Lieutenant Commander instead.)[7]
  • The commanding officer of a DropShip assigned to one of the fleets reporting to Marik Central Command.[8]

Like their counterparts in the AFFS, a Free Worlds League Commodore wears the same insignia as a Colonel. In the FWLM, this is three broad gold bars and one narrow gold bar on a purple background.
