Officer's Candidate School

The Officer's Candidate School was an Imperial learning institution on the planet Carida. By the year 1 BBY,The Star Wars: Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide had Captain Xamuel Lennox commanding the Tyrant during the Battle of Turkana. As the Alliance to Restore the Republic made use of T-65 X-wing starfighters during the battle, it must occur after the Rebels' campaign to obtain the starfighter, which occurred in 1 BBY according to The Essential Guide to Warfare. In Star Wars: X-Wing, the Battle of Turkana occurred at the start of the game, with the end of the second tour of duty focusing on the Alliance obtaining the Death Star plans. Those missions occurred shortly after the Battle of Kattada, which took place in 35:2 GrS—or 1 BBY—by its concurrence with the Subjugation of Ralltiir and that battle's dating in Galaxywide NewsNets. From this information, it can be determined that the Battle of Turkana occurred in 1 BBY. Because Cabbel is depicted as an Imperial officer in that game, and mentioned he was a graduate from the Officer's Candidate School, then he had to have graduated 1 BBY at the latest. Imperial officer Cabbel was a recent graduate of this school.
