Warrant Officer

Warrant Officer was a rank present in many militaries across. A warrant officer did not have a specific task as other ranks such as admiral did, but instead specialized in a particular field that other crew members had little or no knowledge of. An example of this would be a warrant officer who specialized in monitoring the ship's functions, or a warrant officer who specialized in operating the ship's tractor beam.

The New Republic Starfleet used the rank as its highest non-commissioned officer rank. In the Imperial Army, the ranks Senior Warrant Officer and Junior Warrant Officer were used.
