Commander

"May the force be with you&hellip;Commander Dameron.''" "Commander?" "''Commander. But this time&hellip;don't blow it."

- Leia Organa and Poe Dameron prior to Dameron going to the Battle of Grail City

Commander was the rank of an officer with authority over a body of troops or a military operation. In galactic history, soldiers have served under commanders in various military organizations such as the Republic military, which used Clone Commanders such as Cody and Jedi Commanders on the battlefield. The Confederacy military had the droid General Grievous overseeing the Separatist Droid Army as Supreme Commander during the Clone Wars. Similarly, the Imperial Army, the Alliance to Restore the Republic, the New Republic, the First Order military, and the Resistance all had commanders within their ranks.
