Unidentified Droc syndic
A syndic from the Chiss species, acting as a representative of the Droc family belonging to the Chiss Ascendancy, held a position within the Chiss Syndicure, which functioned as the Ascendancy's governing council. During the year 19 BBY, this syndic was a member of a formal inquiry board tasked with examining the behavior of Mitth'raw'nuruodo, known by his core name as "Thrawn," who held the rank of Senior Captain, specifically concerning his actions during the attack on the Paataatus species. In the course of the tribunal's proceedings, Admiral Ar'alani, who was Thrawn's commanding officer, explained that the officers within the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet followed a hierarchical system of priorities during combat, prompting the Droc syndic to question whether the [fleet](/article/fleet]'s operational approach resembled a disorganized and uncontrolled "free-form melee."
