Lieutenant

Lieutenant was a low level commissioned rank utilized primarily by various military forces such as the Grand Army of the Republic, the Imperial Army, and by police services such as the Coruscant Security Force. It could also be used as a title in various organizations such as the Trade Federation to mean someone who was second in command. Variants of the rank included Junior Lieutenant and Senior Lieutenant.

The position also existed in criminal positions. In organized crime, lieutenants were individuals who ran specific territories or who held a general degree of leadership within the organization's ranks. They answered to the vigos and underbosses, who, in turn, answered to their organization's crime lord. A crime lord's top lieutenant, however, could be allowed direct access to the crime lord, as was the case with Qi'ra during her time as the top lieutenant of the crime lord Dryden Vos of Crimson Dawn. The Black Sun criminal syndicate made use of lieutenants as seconds-in-command like Ziton Moj.
