Midshipmen were trainees onboard capital ships. The captain of the ship would often spend a short time with them each day for instruction.^[source?] The midshipmen were ranked higher than enlisted men, such as stormtroopers, but below regular officers.^[source?] When the captain felt the midshipman was ready, they would be promoted to ensign.^[source?] As an ensign, they would begin a road eventually, hopefully leading to command of their own captaincy and ship someday.^[source?]

Some known midshipmen included Koth Barak, Gasto and Brandis.
