Captain

Captain (Cpt) is a junior commissioned officer in most branched services in both the Orion Nero Initiative and the Alvitr Central Security, comparable to the OF-3 rank.

Orion Nero Initiative
Characteristics


 * A Captain in the ONI Army is a company grade officer that ranks above Lieutenant, below Major, and is reprinted by two large vertical bars and two smaller horizontal bars.
 * A captain typically commands a company-sized unit (80-250 soldiers) within infantry battalions, and is generally considered to be the highest rank a soldier can achieve while remaining in the field.

Notable ONI Captains:


 * Cpt. Dennis Ajani (formerly)
 * Cpt. Harris
 * Cpt. Jake Lauder
 * Cpt. Locke
 * Cpt. Obi
 * Cpt. Turner

Central Security

 * In the Atlanta Federation's Central Security, the rank of captain is immediately above that of Lieutenant but below a Commander. The insignia for a captain is represented by two vertical lines with a star in the middle, which was later adopted by the ACS Ground Force.
 * A Captain is usually the officer in charge of a Central Security precinct. In larger departments, a Captain may be in charge of a division or a section within the department.

Notable Central Security Captains:


 * Cpt. Elias Streicher

ACS Ground Force

 * After the fall of the Federation, the rank structure of the Central Security was adopted by the ACS Ground Force.
 * A Captain in the ACS still ranks above a First Lieutenant, and below a Commander, but is now typically in charge of company-sized units (80-250 soldiers) or second-in-command for battalion-sized units (300-1200 soldiers).
