==History==
The Republic Defense Coalition of the High Republic Era made use of the rank of lieutenant. Promotions to the rank were cleared by committees. Visma Tarko was an Arkanian with a strict attitude who joined the RDC and, in time, arose to the rank of lieutenant faster than anyone prior, marking her as one of the Coalition's youngest promotions. If she had not been trapped within the Occlusion Zone during the Nihil conflict, she expected she would have already been made a captain in charge of a starship by 228 BBY.According to Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia, the Guardian Protocols were implemented in 229 BBY. According to Shadows of Starlight 1, this happened one week after the Destruction of Starlight Beacon, which Star Wars: Timelines places in 230 BBY. The events of The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness, including the Expansion of the Stormwall, take place exactly one year after the Fall of Starlight Beacon. The events of "Tales from the Occlusion Zone: Friend or Foe?" and "Tales from the Occlusion Zone: Survivors" take place one month after the Expansion of the Stormwall, so they must be set in 228 BBY.
The Republic Military made use of Clone Lieutenants during the Clone Wars. One Junior Lieutenant in the Galactic Empire was Jams.Adventures in Wild Space: The Steal For a time, Luke Skywalker held the rank of lieutenant within the Rebel Alliance.
