Firmus Piett's technical journal

Firmus Piett had two separate journals when he was a student at the Imperial Naval Academy; one was used as a diary, the other was used for a series of blueprints he designed for a Super Star Destroyer and her twin.
The Executor, the "Lady Ex" as her crew affectionately called her, was Piett's brainchild during his first month at the Academy. 
He designed the blueprints on one of his datapads and was upset for a week after losing said datapad. Lira Wessex had picked it up and, assuming it was abandoned, had kept it. When she finally met Piett aboard the Lady Ex, the two got into a conversation and she realized he was the artist. 
"She's mine. Not just my commmand, but I designed her." 
"Admiral, I'm so sorry, if I had known it was your datapad I would've returned it to you. The pad's in my quarters. She's a beauty." 
"I'm glad you didn't, Ms. Wessex. She's a beauty and a good ship. My blueprints and your brains . . ."
"Our brains, not just mine. I could never have done it on my own."
"Nor could I. We make a good team. Do you think there should be more destroyers under the Executor line?"
"Yes but they should be held as peacekeepers, only used in emergencies, for defense, not attack."
"I feel the exact same way. When I found out that the weapons were turned against an innocent world I was so upset that at first . . . . I seriously thought about entering one of the airlocks and cycling it. But how could I help others by that?"
"I'm glad you didn't. Would you be willing to work with me on this?"
"I'd be more than willing. It would be an honor."
