Senior Cadet

Senior Cadet was a military rank. It held by older cadets in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet's Taharim Academy on the Unknown Regions Chiss Ascendancy nation planet of Naporar, as well as by cadets at the Carida Military academy. Senior cadets' duties included instructing and guiding younger cadets at the academy. Around 255 BBYStar Wars: Timelines the human Wilson and Selkath Lalutin held the rank of senior cadet at the Carida military academy. The two cadets used their seniority to abuse the first-year cadet Lourna Dee. Between approximately 39 BBY and 37 BBY,Mitth'raw'nuruodo begins instruction at Taharim Academy around 39 BBY per the reasoning here. Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil establishes that he graduated from the academy two years later, thus around 37 BBY. As, according to Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising, Irizi'ar'alani held the rank of senior cadet during Mitth'raw'nuruodo's tenure at the academy, she must have been a senior cadet during the time interval between those two years. Irizi'ar'alani, core name "Ziara," was a senior cadet, a rank she achieved no more than four years into her tenure at Taharim Academy.
