Third officer was a military rank in the Chiss Ascendancy's Expansionary Defense Fleet.[1] Around 36 BBY,[2] following the skirmish in the Kinoss system, Junior Commander Mitth'raw'nuruodo, core name "Thrawn," was promoted to Senior Commander and was made third officer of the patrol cruiser Parala.[1]
Behind the scenes
The rank of third officer appeared, via flashbacks, in the 2020 novel Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising, the first installment of Timothy Zahn's Star Wars: The Ascendancy Trilogy.[1] In Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil, the final installment of the trilogy, Plikh'ar'illmorf "Kharill," was incorrectly referred to as the third officer of the Chiss heavy cruiser Springhawk,[3] whereas he was the second officer of the vessel.[1]
