Imperial Star Destroyer Commodore positions are the dream of the majority of TIE Corps pilots, yet the position has come under considerable criticism in the past for being nothing more than a glorified Wing Commander.    This is FAR from the truth.  While it is true that Commodores have less administrative burdens than their Wing Commanders, they are expected to be extremely mature and responsible.  Most disciplinary problems should be sorted out by Commodores before they get any further up the chain of command.  If the Flight Officer ever gets to hear about a problem pilot on a ship, it should only be because the Commodore or Battlegroup Commander were unable to work out the problem themselves.

Commodores are officers with long service to the Fleet who are exceptionally proficient in all TIE Corps regulations and procedures.  They are expected to set the finest example for the personnel under their command, and should ideally be able to field all questions that their crew might pose, in order to relieve the email strain from their Battlegroup Commander and the Flight Officer.  The Wing Commander busies himself with the day to day grind of administrating the Ship, while the Commodore provides support, and focuses on the Big Picture, as well as ensuring that staff reports on the Wing Commander are completed and that the Wing Commander is doing his or her job correctly.

Commodores are not in quite such an email intensive position as Wing Commanders.  While they should be included in all email that is routinely sent to the Wing Commander, as well as additional email that is COM-only, they are only required to actually reply to Wing Commander-related email that the Wing Commander has referred up to them for action.  Nevertheless, more than one ship has suffered in the past because the Commodore went absent and left the ship in the hands of an inexperienced Wing Commander, therefore, the same absentee regulations apply to COMs as do to WCs.

Commodores may also be expected to perform as Acting Wing Commanders where a vacancy exists and no suitable Commander is available to deputize until a replacement can be promoted.

Battlegroup Commanders may have additional requirements that they expect of their Commodores, and where applicable, these requirements should be made public in Battlegroup Standing Orders.  Again, approval must be gained via the Chain of Command before BGCOMs make these changes official.
