- "Senator Evidorn's bodyguard Kaniki. […] He tried to kill the senator this morning. Apparently, your indoctrination on the evils of the Empire was a little too effective."
- ―Governor Arihnda Pryce, to Juahir Madras
Kaniki was a bodyguard for Senator Evidorn of the Galactic Empire. He was trained at the Yinchom Dojo by Juahir Madras.[1] Around 12–11 BBY,[2] he attempted to kill Evidorn, which led to Imperial Security Bureau Colonel Wullf Yularen and Arihnda Pryce going to arrest Madras for indoctrinating bodyguards with negative ideologies against the Empire and nearly getting Kaniki's employer killed.[1]
Behind the scenes
Kaniki was mentioned in the first volume of Timothy Zahn's Thrawn novel series, Thrawn.[1]

- ↑ The events of Chapter 19 of Thrawn take place around 12–11 BBY with reasoning as follows. Chapter 19 mentions the "recent" deposition and exile of Lothal's former governor, Ryder Azadi, which Star Wars Rebels: The Visual Guide established to occur when Ezra Bridger was seven years old. Ezra was born on the first Empire Day, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 19 BBY, meaning he would be seven years old from the Empire Day in 12 BBY through the same day in 11 BBY. Therefore, Thrawn's Chapter 19 must occur between 12 and 11 BBY.
