\ idea can be rephrased some to say "I am the B.O.P. SuD''s captain":
\ {toQDuj <SuD'> HoD jIH}.
Another possibility is {toQDuj <SuD'>Daq jIra'} (uhm, not sure about where to
put the {-Daq} on nouns in apposition; do we have canon examples for this?)
That would be "Aboard the Bird of Prey _SuD'_, I command."
Although that seems more likely to be an emphatic reminder of one's status as
captain, given to a subordinate who has forgotten himself, than a general
statement of one's position.

\ This could be {yaS, So'wI' yISo'beHmoH} "Officer, make the cloaking
\ device ready to cloak."
Seems a bit redundant. How about {... yIchu'beHmoH} "... ready to activate"?
(and would it be appropriate to include {-choH} here?)
