A lieutenant in the Galactic Empire was a human Imperial officer. The lieutenant went with Captain Tarl Sokoli to the Imperial Naval Academy on Carida in 10 BBY, where Sokoli was scheduled to present a lecture. While they traversed the academy, Sokoli bumped into a cadet known as Beilert Valance. The lieutenant then threatened Valance with disciplinary action, but the captain told the officer that it wasn't required. Before the lieutenant told him that they were running late for his lecture, Sokoli had a quick conversation with Valance, whom he had previously encountered when Valance was a child.
