'''Star Captain''' is a midlevel officer rank within the [[Clan military structure]], equivalent to a [[Captain]] in the [[Inner Sphere]]. A Star Captain may command a [[Binary]], [[Trinary]], or [[Supernova (unit)|Supernova]] unit among ground and aerospace forces, command a [[DropShip]] or [[JumpShip]], or serve as a senior officer (department head) aboard a [[WarShip]].<ref>''Explorer Corps'', p. 51</ref>  Some Clans make use of the [[Nova Captain]] rank to differentiate commanders of Supernova units.<ref>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 11</ref><ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 14</ref> A larger commission would typically include 10 [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]], 50 [[Elemental]]s, 35+ serviceman for the related equipment, plus additional functionaries (or the equivalent numbers for [[aerospace fighter]]s, [[ProtoMech]]s, etc.).

[[Star Commander]]s usually require years of exceptional service before being promoted to Star Captain. Alternatively, a ''[[sibko]]'' cadet can test into the position by defeating three opponents during his/her [[Trial of Position]], an exceptional and extremely rare event.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 19</ref>

[[Star Commander]]s usually require years of exceptional service before being promoted to Star Captain. Alternatively, a [[sibko]] cadet can test into the position by defeating three opponents during his/her [[Trial of Position]], an exceptional and extremely rare event. Star Captain is the highest rank a [[Clan]] warrior can achieve without having a [[Bloodname]].

Like the Hell's Horses, Clan Coyote has an official '''Nova Captain''' rank. These officers command a Binary or Trinary of Novas. As they command twice the troops of a regular Binary, they could be considered a [[Major]].

== Clan Hell's Horses ==
 
Unlike most other Clans, there is an official '''Nova Captain''' rank available to warriors in the [[Clan Hell's Horses Touman|Hell's Horses ''touman'']]. These officers command a Binary or Trinary of Novas. With the increased number of troops under their command (double that of the typical Star Captain) a Nova Captain could be considered equivalent to an Inner Sphere [[Major]].
