Commodore was a rank, originally naval and later adopted by Starfleet. As a traditional grade, commodore was the most junior flag officer rank or the most senior line officer rank, of a naval organization, under an admiral rank (usually under rear admiral) but senior to a captain. Commodores commanded groups of ships, as opposed to captains commanding single ships or units. In comparison to other ranking systems, this rank was equivalent to the military brigadier or brigadier general, or the navy alternative Rear Admiral, Lower Half. They could also command starbases, such as Starbase Yorktown. (Star Trek Beyond)
The United Earth Starfleet used the rank of commodore in the 2140s and 2150s. (ENT: "First Flight", "Shockwave, Part II")
The rank of commodore was used by Starfleet until the year 2364. (TNG: "Conspiracy")
In 2366, Geordi La Forge insulted Centurion Bochra by calling him commodore, to which Bochra promptly corrected La Forge as to his proper title. (TNG: "The Enemy").
