Summary
Ensign was the lowest rating of officer within most space navies, being bestowed upon a being immediately after graduating from a service academy. Although it was rare, the rank of ensign could be bestowed upon an officer outside the navy.
Ensigns typically were given supervisory positions over enlisted crew, however they were too junior to actually have a command billet. Ensigns also could not take command of any situation, unless in the absence of a lieutenant or other superior officer. Persons of this rank were typically assigned as watch officers, military aides, envoys or even bodyguards for various higher-ranking officers such as admirals. Ensigns also sometimes led ground missions, leading a vessel's complement of troopers on whatever task needed doing.
