== Biography ==
=== Chasing the Rebels ===
A high-ranking officer of the Imperial Navy, Firmus Piett was the captain of the Executor by the year 3 ABY, serving under Admiral Ozzel. After a serious of failures made by Ozzel prior to the Battle of Hoth, Darth Vader killed him and promoted Piett to rank of admiral.
Following the battle, Piett was ordered to track the Millennium Falcon, a Rebel ship escaping Hoth. Chasing the ship into an asteroid field, the Imperial fleet began to take damage. Vader eventually ordered Piett to move the ship out of the asteroid field in order to get a clear transmission when his master, Darth Sidious, contacted him.
To Admiral Piett's distaste, Vader later assembled a motley crew of bounty hunters on the Executor's bridge, enlisting them in his track for the Millennium Falcon. The Empire soon learned they had left to Bespin, and Vader launched a trap for Luke Skywalker. To prevent a possible Rebel escape, Piett's forces deactivated the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive on Vader's orders
However, following the Duel on Cloud City, the Rebels managed to escape Bespin. Despite his failure, Admiral Piett was ultimately spared from Vader's wrath, unlike previous officers who had failed him.
=== Battle of Endor ===
A year later, Piett commanded the Imperial fleet stationed above Endor, alongside the second Death Star. During the Battle of Endor, received orders from the Emperor himself to retain the Executor and the Imperial fleet from directly engaging the rebel forces; Piett told a fellow officer that he was told the Emperor had something special planned and that the ships only needed to prevent another Rebel retreat.
However, the Battle of Endor eventually turned in the Rebels' favour. Not long after Darth Vader betrayed and killed the Emperor, Rebel pilot Arvel Crynyd's A-Wing was hit by Imperial forces and crashes into the command bridge of the Executor, killing Admiral Piett and the rest of the crew. The ship then collapsed into the second Death Star.
