Admiral
The Star Trek Expanded Universe Database is for fanon and related content. See Memory-Alpha.org for the canon Star Trek wiki.
The Admiral military rank usually is amongst the highest rank officers can obtain in a naval service organization amongst several civilizations. The rank below Admiral is usually Captain, and the difference between the ranks is whereas a captain usually is the commanding officer of one starship, starbase or unit, an admiral is the commanding officer of several starships (or a fleet or armada of ships).
In ground-based military, the equivalent of this rank would usually be a General.
Earth Starfleet, Federation Starfleet, the Romulan Star Empire and the Klingon Empire all use this rank in some form. The Cardassian equivalent is Legate.
