Bosun/Legends
Bosun was the informal name attributed to a ship officer in charge of maintaining maximum efficiency of the bridge systems of a capital ship. Bosuns were also called upon to aid in more general duties, such as directing loadlifters. A bosun was attributed the rank of Chief Petty Officer (CPO). The Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic all employed bosuns aboard starships.
