Commander/Legends

Commander was a military rank used in spacecraft-based military organizations. A commander ranked below a naval captain, and was equivalent to the planetside rank of lieutenant colonel. A lieutenant commander ranked immediately below a commander, and was equivalent to a major.

The rank of commander should not be confused with:
 * The title "commander-in-chief", used by civilian heads of state in their capacity as head of their government's military forces (as with the Chief of State of the New Republic).
 * The Clone trooper commanders and ARC trooper commanders of the Grand Army of the Republic.
