Commander

An officer with even more experience, they may command a very large ship, hold a high-level position in a department, or even run small departments. They are addressed as "Commander."

Promotions, Demotions, and Administration
Like captains, commanders are given vast amounts of power to run their ship or department. As senior department officers (or department executive officers), they have almost as much power as captains.


 * Promote directly up to E6, and recommend any enlisted for promotion.
 * Demote down two ranks, and may give class B NJPs.

Ratings
Commanders are seen more in department jobs than ship captains.
