'''Command ranks''' are the three positions a character can hold to lead military units in ''[[Star Wars: Rebellion]]'': Admiral, General and Commander.<ref name="manual-p93" />

== Assigning a rank ==
A ranked character can lead every regiment on a system or fleet, every ship in a fleet, or every fighter squadron attached to a system or fleet.<ref name="manual-p93" /> Many characters have the potential for command, but the rank must be assigned explicitly before it has any effect.<ref name="manual-p99" /> The Status window shows a character's potential rank. To make the character command, the player right-clicks the character, chooses Command and then picks the rank.<ref name="manual-p100" /> A character on a system is put in command of land-based regiments or fighters in the same way.<ref name="manual-p127" /> The manual notes that fleets do not require personnel, but perform much better under competent commanders.<ref name="manual-p54" />

== The three ranks ==
; Admiral
: Quickens the reactions of the fleet's ships in tactical play. If a battle involves several fleets, only the strongest of their admirals counts. Admirals also amplify bombardment by ships, make capital ships handle better, and help stop enemy missions.<ref name="manual-p93" />
; General
: Boosts trooper regiments, whether they assault from a fleet or defend a system, and amplifies defensive batteries. According to the manual, a general adds nothing in tactical combat.<ref name="manual-p93" />
; Commander
: Makes fighters more effective and more agile during tactical play. A commander may also be given the fighters defending a system.<ref name="manual-p93" /><ref name="manual-p94" />

== Effect of skills ==
A higher leadership rating gives a greater enhancement to the regiments or fighters under the character.<ref name="manual-p127" /> All three ranks greatly improve the ability of their units to detect enemy missions, and once a mission is detected, to capture or kill its members. The detection strength depends on the commander's espionage rating and the capture-or-kill strength depends on the combat rating; higher is better in both cases.<ref name="manual-p94" /> For any system the player wishes to defend, the manual advises appointing a general or commander there.<ref name="manual-p94" /> See [[Character skills]] and [[Decoys and detectors]].

== Loyalty ==
Characters in command roles do not betray the player, even with low loyalty (see [[Traitors]]).<ref name="manual-p92" />

== Game data ==
In the vanilla v1.02 data for the six [[Major characters]], the CanBeAdmiral, CanBeCommander and CanBeGeneral flags are all set for [[Luke Skywalker]], [[Han Solo]] and [[Darth Vader]], and all clear for [[Mon Mothma]], [[Leia Organa]] and [[Emperor Palpatine]].<ref name="gdata-mjchar" />
