Lomus, a male Imperial cadet, attended the Academy for Young Imperials on Lothal. He was a member of Unit Cresh, which belonged to squad LRC077. During a group training session inside the Well, a specially designed training area, Lomus performed poorly. Subsequently, he was partnered with Nazhros Oleg, a cadet with few friends, for another exercise, and his excessive complaining earned him two demerits. On Viewing Day, during an inspection, Lomus received criticism for improperly buttoning his tunic. Jai Kell, a fellow cadet, held a low opinion of Lomus, believing he lacked the intelligence to even become a stormtrooper.
