Gunnery captain

Gunnery captain was an assignment on the Star Destroyers of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War fought against the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The gunnery captain was tasked with overseeing the chief gunnery officer, who managed the main weaponry of the vessel. Only one chief gunnery officer could serve under the command of a gunnery captain. The gunnery captain wore a black Imperial Navy crewman's uniform.

The Human Bolvan served the Imperial Navy as a gunnery captain aboard the Star Destroyer Devastator during the Battle of Tatooine in 0 BBY. Prior to that, Bolvan served in a more senior position of captain of the Devastator. While Imperial stormtroopers boarded an Alliance CR90 corvette, the Tantive IV, Bolvan's chief gunnery officer, Lieutenant Hija, spotted an escape pod jettisoned from the vessel. Bolvan ordered his subordinate not to fire on the pod, as the Star Destroyer's sensors detected no lifeforms within.
