Captain

Most common rank to run a department. Senior officer with lots of experience, both with the ECC and technical skill. Exemplary performance is required to achieve this. While "captain" is the name of the rank, not all (ship) captains hold this rank. They are addressed as "Captain."

Promotions, Demotions, and Administration
Captains are given a lot of power in running their department. They have the ability to:


 * Promote directly up to E7 and O2, and recommend any enlisted for promotion.
 * Demote down two ranks, and may give class B NJPs.

Ratings
Captains fill a variety of roles, and are most commonly found as department commanders, and less so as actual ship captains.
