The starship command structure aboard Dominatrix II places Captain Jack Kaiden in command and Yvonne Kaiden as first officer.
¶ Officers
Lieutenants include Alistair and the ship's unnamed pilot. An acting captain may occupy the captain's chair when Jack is absent. Artificial officers serve throughout operations, communications, navigation, and combat; their authority is professional rather than a substitute form of ownership.
¶ Practice
The crew combines a military chain of command with a found-family community. Orders still carry real power, especially during emergencies, but the ship's post-liberation culture distinguishes duty from regulator-enforced obedience. Command decisions remain subject to disagreement, ethical criticism, and consequences.
