Junior Captain was a military rank used by the Chiss Ascendancy's Chiss Defense Force[1] and Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet.[3] It was above senior commander and below mid captain.[4]
Around 39 BBY,[5] Vorlip, commander of the Chiss Defense Force Transport Tomra, was a Junior Captain.[1] Around 18 BBY,[6] Ovinon, who served aboard the Chiss heavy cruiser Grayshrike, and the Chiss frigate Midsummer's first officer were Junior Captains.[4] Around the same year,[7] Junior Captain Evroes'ky'mormi, core name "Oeskym," served as the Nightdragon man-of-war warship Vigilant's weapons officer.[3]
The human officer Firmus Piett served as a junior captain in the Imperial Navy of the Galactic Empire under Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. Piett eventually became a captain, admiral,[2] and later fleet admiral.[8]
