A line leader was a position held by some students at an academy on the planet Rentor in the Chiss Ascendancy. Line leaders were the head of their respective line while reciting morning vows at their academy. The position as line leader at the school was seen as a mildly impressive feat by the Aristocra—specifically the Mitth family Aristocra Mitth'urf'ianico, core name "Thurfian."[1] Around 39 BBY,[2] Kivu'raw'nuru ("Vurawn"), was a line leader at the academy before leaving to become a member of the Mitth family and a cadet for the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet at the Taharim Academy.[1]

Behind the scenes

Line leaders were mentioned in a flashback in the first volume of the Ascendancy Trilogy, Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising, written by Timothy Zahn and published in 2020.[1]

  2. Star Wars: Timelines dates Thrawn becoming a cadet to around 39 BBY. As he was a line leader before he became a cadet, he must have been a line leader around 39 BBY.
