Hamelin served as a senior commander for the Rebel Alliance.
This line rank was used by the Imperial Navy. It ranked above Junior Commander, and below Senior Captain. Senior Commanders could hold a position of Captain (starship commanding officer) or Lieutenant (ship officer crew).

Not long after the Battle of Yavin, in 0 ABY, The Chimaera Grondarle held this rank in the capacity of the ship's first officer.
==Behind the scenes==
It appears that Senior Commander denotes a substantive rank than than a title of primacy as in the novel Choices of One, Grondarle is explicitly described as "The first officer, Senior Commander Grondarle", the capitalization of Senior Commander denoting a substantive rank in comparison to the lower-case for "first officer", a title denoting a position of executive seniority.
