Commodore is a military rank used in some navies for officers whose position exceeds that of a Captain, but is less than that of a Flag Officer.
Commodore is the lowest commissioned Starfleet flag officer rank in the Star Trek fictional universe. It exists in the franchise's 22nd and 23rd centuries; its existence in the 24th century is uncertain. This rank is analogous to the actual military rank of commodore – below admiral (usually rear admiral) and above fleet captain or the line officer rank of captain – in some navies.
