Talk:Gilad Pellaeon/Legends

This article states that Pellaeon could not have had the rank of captain until after the Battle of Endor. According to Heir to the Empire, though, Pellaeon merely took command after the Chimaera's original commanding officer had been killed--this does not mean that Pellaeon did not hold the rank of captain (it is known that aboard many naval vessels, there can be more than one person of the rank of captain, one as commanding officer, the other as executive, even if they are of the same rank). Further, the word "captain" and the commanding officer of a vessel are and can be used interchangeably, even if the commanding officer is a man of higher rank such as a commodore or even an admiral (but as long as he is not commanding more than vessel), so it's quite possible that Pellaeon had already been a captain at the Endor and merely took over when the commanding officer was killed. Therefore, it's quite possible--additionally, given Pellaeon's age by Heir to the Empire--that he might have, in fact, been the same Pellaeon commanding an Acclamator during the Clone Wars.
