Inside were a pair of ... insignia: '''four bars and a single star'''".</ref> is a [[commissioned officers|commissioned officer]] rank of the [[UNSC Navy]], equal with the rank of [[Colonel (UNSC)|Colonel]] in the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and [[UNSC Army]].

Captains typically command a single ship, but may also command a battlegroup or a small fleet if they are the most senior officer present.

Captains are sometimes referred to informally as "Skipper" and "the Old Man."<ref>''[[Halo:The Flood]]'', ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', [[Thom Shephard]]: "Aye aye sir. The skipper seems jumpy, we'd better get moving. We'll find you weapons later."</ref>
