Classification and Role
The Commander, although unique, is classified as a K-Bot (Kinetic Bio-organic technology), meaning it is a walking unit. Of all units, the commander resembles a human most closely. In single player campaign missions the Commander is classified as a hero unit, meaning its survival is a mission objective. If in any mission the Commander is lost, the mission is failed.
The role of the Commander is varied, although it is usually used to begin large scale invasions, as it has the ability to construct an entire army relatively fast.

Famous quotes containing the word role:
“The trouble is that the expression ‘material thing’ is functioning already, from the very beginning, simply as a foil for ‘sense-datum’; it is not here given, and is never given, any other role to play, and apart from this consideration it would surely never have occurred to anybody to try to represent as some single kind of things the things which the ordinary man says that he ‘perceives.’”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
