- "May the Force be with you…Commander Dameron."
"Commander?"
"Commander. But this time…don't blow it." - ―Leia Organa and Poe Dameron, prior to the Battle of Ikkrukk
Commander was the rank or title of an officer with authority over a body of troops or a military operation. In galactic history, soldiers served under commanders in various military organizations.
History[]
The Republic Military made use of Clone Commanders[27] such as Cody[28] and Jedi Commanders during the Clone Wars.[1] The Confederacy military had commanders within its ranks as well,[5] with General Grievous additionally overseeing the Separatist Droid Army as Supreme Martial Commander.[29] During the Clone Wars, Mitth'raw'nuruodo claimed he served as a commander in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet of the Chiss Ascendancy[2] despite actually being a Senior Captain.[30]
The Imperial Army,[6] the Alliance to Restore the Republic,[8] the New Republic,[9] the First Order military,[14] and the Resistance all had commanders within their ranks.[13] After failing in the Battle of Panisia, Imperial Commander Ellian Zahra found her way to a raider crew, who agreed to serve under her in return for her tactical insight. As leader of the raiders, she continued to use the title of commander, but she longed to return to the Empire.[22] In the case of the First Order military, Commanders also were identified by wearing teal uniforms similar to that of Majors and Colonels.[31]
