Geno Namit was a male human who held the rank of captain within the Resistance's naval forces during their war against the First Order. In the year 34 ABY, following the evacuation from the planet D'Qar, during the First Order's attack on the Resistance fleet, he served under Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo aboard the Ninka, a Free Virgillia-class Bunkerbuster. After the primary bridge of the MC85 Star Cruiser _Raddus_ was destroyed, killing nearly all of the Resistance High Command and causing injury to General Leia Organa, Namit, along with Holdo and other loyal officers, transferred to the Raddus. This move allowed the vice admiral, the highest-ranking officer still capable of command, to assume control of the fleet. Captain Namit survived the Battle of Oetchi and reached Crait, where he, along with other Resistance members, successfully escaped in the Millennium Falcon during the Battle of Crait.
Hugh Skinner played Geno Namit in the film Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, which debuted on December 15, 2017. Although unnamed in the film itself, the character was identified in Star Wars: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary, a companion reference book by Pablo Hidalgo released alongside the film.
