	Commanders have higher intelligence, armour, and other stats compared to other members of their race (although this is somewhat race dependent), although their "aggression" score is typically lower. Commanders often carry a [[Blaster Launcher]] (other ranks may carry them as well). They are probably the toughest opponents you will encounter on any given mission -- especially [[Sectoid]] Commanders, which can use [[Psionic]]s to attack your men from their hiding place on the bridge.
