Frantis Griss

Frantis Griss is an Admiral in the First Order who encountered members of the Spectres in 2020. Griss was an Imperial Officer at the Battle of Gratha in 2003 who eventually joined the Imperial-loyalist group being formed by Generals Brendol Hux and Enric Pryde and somehow rose to the rank of Admiral, likely earning the rank in the aftermath of the First Order's defeat during Operation Lothal Freedom.
In 2020, Griss was in command of the Steadfast and using Z-95 Headhunters to carry out false flag attacks on cargo ships in hopes that the attacks would be blamed on Black Sun and not the First Order. One of these attacks targeted the Ghost which was returning to New York City after delivering relief supplies to the planet Vica which was still recovering from the attack by Captain Moden Canady in 2019. Wondering what the Headhunters were doing in that sector, Sabine Wren decided to trace the Headhunters back to where they came from and encountered Griss' fleet. Griss' crew detected the Ghost and Griss demanded that the crew surrender to the First Order or face destruction sending a pair of Headhunters and a pair of TIE Fighters to disable the ship. Wren instead chose to fight back and deployed the Phantom III with Darius Carpenter, Lucy Felth, and R9-D2 aboard to deal wtih the TIEs and annoy Griss. Carpenter who had in the weeks prior had not only discovered his relation to Jedi Master Mace Windu, but also his own ability to use The Force managed to predict the movements of Griss' pilots and eventually hurled one of the TIEs into the rear of the Steadfast's bridge tower as well as causing other damage to the Star Destroyer's communications and sensor equipment. Meanwhile, Griss' Headhunters were disposed of by Josh Myers.
Firmus Piett later sends the file on Griss to Michael Myers and Tevin Felth via BB-8 revealing that Griss has an uptight personality and is prone to shooting people for the smallest mistakes as well as that Griss had been passed over for promotion many times as a result of this. Remnant President Wanda Houston later holds a meeting about Griss and his operation that is attended by Piett, Myers, Felth, and Thrawn among others. Darius and Ezra Bridger later wonder if it was Griss' fleet that they had encountered while traveling to The Redoubt in 2019. This suspicion is also shared by Jeremy Khayman who had been along for the trip.
Griss' fate following the 2024 battle against the First Order is unknown, although it is likely that he was killed when Pryde's Dreadnought was destroyed due to Piett, Hera Syndulla, and C1-10P ramming the Naberrie into it.
