Armitage Hux

Armitage Hux was a General in the First Order who commanded the First Order's forces during the failed invasion of Lothal. He was the son of General Brendol Hux and worked alongside Darth Caedus during the Lothal Operation. He previously served in the Galactic Empire and the Remnant before joining the First Order.
==Early Life==
Little is known about Hux's childhood and early life although Admiral Garrick Versio mentioned that Brendol Hux would beat Armitage to a pulp for the smallest reason. Armitage would enlist with the Galactic Empire when he turned 16 and moved around from assignment to assignment usually after his commanders got tired of him threatening to have them executed for some form of incompetence or suspected treason. Like other Imperials, he transitioned into the Remnant following the Battle of Gratha and rose through the ranks to become a Sector Commander. At one point, he was assigned to the command in New York City where his comments and ordering of a copy of earned him a quick transfer out.
== First Order==
In 2016, Hux was the sector commander of an area that became the site of a dispute between a colony and the . As Remnant Secretary of State Wanda Houston and Senator Padme Skywalker attempted to resolve the dispute, Obi-Wan Kenobi at Houston's request sent Jedi Knight Galen Marek and Marek's Padawan Remnant Lieutenant Colonel Erica Rex to join Hux. Upon arrival of the Jedi, Hux attacked the colony and blamed Marek for the escalation of hostilities declaring himself to be a "General" in the First Order and ordering the Jedi off his ship allowing them to leave as his father was not ready to reveal the new Order to the galaxy just yet. Eventually, the First Order earned the attention of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious and Sidious' apprentice Darth Caedus. Sidious ordered Caedus to join Hux and the two developed a tense working relationship with each man wanting to see the other disposed of. Hux eventually took possession of an Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer called the Finalizer from a Remnant Officer named Titus who had previously donated an Interdictor Cruiser to the Order and used it as his flagship telling Titus to report the ship as having been taken by pirates.
In 2018, Hux and Caedus were ordered by Sidious to take their fleet to Lothal after Sidious felt a Disturbance in The Force related to the reappearance of Ezra Bridger on Earth. Hux and Caedus arrived at Lothal and began deploying their fleet after allowing Lothal's Governor Jai Kell to send a distress signal to Coruscant in hopes of luring the New Republic Defense Fleet into a battle and restarting the Galactic Civil War. This however did not go as planned as the Republic sent two members of the New Jedi Order to Lothal in the forms of Masters Corran Horn and Kyle Katarn to evaluate the situation before deploying a fleet. Meanwhile on Earth and unknown to Hux, both Titus and another undercover operative had been taken into Remnant custody with one of them gloating to Bridger that Lothal would fall and there was nothing Bridger could do to stop it. Indeed Hux was surprised when Horn's ship the Pulsar Skate was joined by another ship, Bridger onboard the Ghost with a new team of Spectres. While Caedus went to inform Sidious of the development, Hux ordered both ships destroyed and an acceleration of landings. However, Bridger and Horn flew their ships into Hux's landing parties which made it impossible for Hux's gunners to get a clear shot at the two ships while the TIEs were able to inflict some form of damage. This however was a distraction by Bridger and Horn to keep Hux off balance until reinforcements arrived which soon did in the forms of a joint Earth-Remnant fleet commanded by Admiral Firmus Piett and General Tevin Felth which inflicted heavy losses on Hux's fleet followed by the arrival of a New Republic Defense Fleet commanded by General Wedge Antilles. With the battle raging outside and quickly turning against him while unaware that the Astro Megaship had landed on board with a Jedi Task Force sent to confront Caedus, Hux ordered the Finalizer to move into position so he could bombard Lothal from orbit. This also failed as Felth, Piett, and United States Marine Corps pilot Steven Laramie caught the move and ordered the Finalizer attacked and once the Jedi were clear of the ship destroyed. With all lost, Hux managed to reach an escape pod and was picked up by a Corvette from the Israel Defense Forces where he was taken prisoner and interrogated by agents from Mossad and imprisoned while Houston who was now President of the Remnant began the deliberations that would decide Hux's fate.
==Aftermath==
In 2019, an attempt to gather hostages to exchange for Hux was made by Captain Moden Canady when he spotted the Megaship which had members of the Spectres onboard. This however failed after Spectres member Darius Carpenter sent out a signal that summoned a fleet from the Chiss Ascendancy commanded by Thrawn which inflicted severe damage on Canady's ships which later caused Canady's Star Destroyer to crash on Gratha where he too was captured by the Israelis. Eventually and after much discussion with Kell and others, Houston gave the order to Mossad Director Orli Elbaz that Hux and Canady could both be executed which was carried out a few weeks later. Tevin noted that in some ways Hux's execution was a mercy kill as the relationship between the Huxes had never been that great and if anything, Brendol probably would have killed Armitage anyway.
