Shipmaster

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Shipmaster (or Shipmistress) is a title bestowed upon a Chapter Serf who commands a vessel of a Space Marine Chapter. Although these serfs are technically serving as Captains of the vessel, they are not referred to as a Captain (in order to avoid confusion with the similarly-named Space Marine rank).[1]

The rank is also used by other Imperial organisations, including the Collegia Titanica.[2]
