Cede

Cede was an admiral of the Republic Navy in the years following the Jedi Civil War until at least 3,951 BBY. Cede commanded the Republic capital ship, the Valiant. It was implied that Cede also served in the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War, though his first recognized battle is when he defended Telos and the Citadel Station from the Sith fleet of Darth Nihilus.

Behind the scenes
Cede only appears in the game if you mention that Revan followed the dark side. Since it is canon that Revan chose the light side, and Cede is only available if Revan chose the dark side, Cede may not be canon.

In this scenario, Carth Onasi&mdash;Revan's companion who was promoted to admiral in the light side story&mdash;gets either trapped on Rakata Prime or killed by Revan on the Star Forge, so he cannot serve the Republic after the Jedi Civil War. Cede substitutes him as the Admiral that commands the Republic fleet during the Battle of Telos IV.

Cede's character blueprint file is named "rep_gen", which presumably stands for "Republic General"&mdash;unlike Carth, whose file contains his name. This indicates that the decision to give Cede a name was a relatively late one.

Despite his rank, Cede is shown wearing the uniform of a common Republic officer, instead of an admiral's. This is because the game did not actually contain an a male admiral uniform appearance, thus even Carth is shown wearing red armor instead.
