I'd personally always seen them as sorta equals that vary with context.
In more detail:
On Destiny and when relevant with RP, the Captain has higher authority due to the structure of NT, the Captain is the closest thing there to a direct representative of NT. The HOS however has the power to impeach (That is, arrest) the Captain for being a dumbshit or otherwise traitorous.
On the non-RP server, HOS is likely going to be more trustable and mature than the Captain and should probably be regarded as a higher authority. Alternatively, view them as equals that can null each other out, with exception to the HOS's supreme authority over security.
That about nails it in my opinion.
Sometimes a HoS has to disobey their Captain to be loyal. Follow the spirit of the law rather than the letter.
