Starfleet captains

In the history of Starfleet, many officers have captained starships and/or held the rank of captain.

Senior captains
Starfleet flag officers sometimes retain or take command of a vessel. Most often, these officers hold the rank of commodore, but there have been instances of admirals operating as starship captains.

The substantive rank of captain is typically held by officers captaining starships. Officers of this rank also sometimes serve in other capacities, such as in command of starbases or divisions of support personnel (such as JAG officers or members of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers), or as members of experimental engineering programs.
