Commodore is a naval military rank, roughly equivalent to that of Colonel.
In the AFFS, a commodore commands a JumpShip, DropShip group, or Aerospace Fighter wing. A commodore wears an epaulette with two broad bands across the base, like their ground-pounding counterparts.[1]
In the FWLM, the rank of commodore used in one of two cases:
- The commanding officer of an Aerospace Fighter wing attached to a BattleMech regiment that also has its own DropShips. (The commanding officer of a wing attached to a 'Mech regiment lacking permanent DropShip support holds the rank of Lieutenant Commander instead.)[2]
- The commanding officer of a DropShip assigned to one of the fleets reporting to Marik Central Command.[3]
In the DCMS, the rank is known as Cho-sho, and is the naval equivalent to Sho-sho (brigadier general). Rank insignia is the katakana symbol "4" in apple-green.[4]
