Commodore is an enlisted rank of the Bastion of the Precursors Ministry of Defense.

It is classified as O-5 (Officer staff, Grade 5) and is most commonly found in the Bastion Defense Fleet, although it is uncommonly seen in the Ministry of Intelligence and Reconnaisance. Commodores in the Defense Fleet serve as commanders of small taskforces. Commodores in the Ministry of Intelligence and Reconnaisance serve as major section leaders within their major departments.

Alternate "O-5" pay grades are Rear Admiral and Minor General. The rank of Rear Admiral is commonly used instead of "Commodore" in the Defense Fleet to denote a noncombatant staff-only O-5 officer, although it is not uncommon for certain Rear Admirals to lead small naval taskforces like Commodores. Minor General is typically used in the Bastion Planetary Forces and Bastion Homeworld Security.
