Ship's Captain salutes an Army General, as the generals are equivalent in rank to admirals. However there is a big point: the General needs to be in uniform or known to be a general by the ship's captain.
I believe in Fenspace that Captain Corcoran has, if not actual Table of Organization rank, at least courtesy rank. And of course, Tom Dobbs was a Sergeant [exact level uncertain] in the US Marine Corps before his "medical discharge." How his/her rank has changed since OGJ is unknown despite troubleshooter status, but probably acts as though he were still a Sergeant in regards to formal militaries.
