A staff officer rank in UFOP: StarBase 118 is a rank above Lt. Commander. Once a member achieves the rank of Commander, they are considered a part of the fleet staff.
Commander & Captain
Unlike the previous lower ranks, which are awarded at the discretion of an individual member's commanding officer, the ranks of Commander and above require a council vote (Captains Council vote for Commanders, Executive Council vote for Captain and higher) and the successful completion of specific promotion criteria by candidates.
