Navy Chain of Command

Commodore – CDRE |
Senior Officers
Senior officers are elite members in StarFleet and have shown long term dedication and ability. Fleet Captains and Captains are of the rank required to be the commanding officer of a ship within the Fleet, possessing that rare blend of skill, diplomacy, professionalism and dedication that is the hallmark of Captains throughout the Star Trek universe.
Fleet Captain – FCAPT | |
Captain – CAPT |
Officers

Lieutenant Commander – LCDR | |
Lieutenant – LT |
Junior Officers

Academy Cadets
Academy Cadets are non-commissioned officers who have enrolled at StarFleet Academy, where they undertake intensive training to become full Officers of the Fleet. There are four grades for each stage of training. Academy Cadets are expected to relinquish all other responsibilities in the Fleet aside from their studies, and are under constant assessment. Everything is a test.

Non-Commissioned Officers
Non Commissioned offers (NCO’S) are the backbone of StarFleet. NCO’s typically encompass those ranks beyond “enlisted” where a member is solely focused on their gaming and the progression of their skills. They are the front line, and soldiers of professionalism and talent. Non-Commisioned Officers may apply for entry into Starfleet Academy if they feel they wish to pursue a career on the command pathway, but often members wish to dedicate their time to being masters of battle; it is for this reason that the higher-tier NCO ranks exist.

Once an enlisted member reaches the rank of either Petty Officer 1st Class (navy) or Staff Corporal (marines) the member may apply to the StarFleet Academy to become and Officer, or continue to the Non-Commissioned Officers ranks.

Any member who feels they don’t have the time to dedicate to pursue their military career may become a Doctor within the Scientist Tier. Doctors are free of the many military requirements that StarFleet has but are still required to be respectful to superior authority while following the CoC. All persons joining StarFleet have the option of joining the military or being a Doctor in the Scientists Tier, and any existing member can request to be switched. Conversely, any Doctor can request to join or re-join the military ranks, and will be initiated from the rank of Crewman Apprentice.
