Captain is a position in the mostly-unrealized, civilization-wide dwarven army, acting as leader of a squad of ten soldiers. A captain is appointed by the General and commanded by a Lieutenant. They are not appointed in civilization creation, because their Position_token NUMBER is not fixed, it is AS_NEEDED. This means that they are only then created when they are needed, and those circumstances are very rare.
