Unidentified Imperial captain (Executor, Bespin) (talk - history - links - logs - delete - protect)

Unless it's confirmed this character has the role Piett had, as opposed to a lower functioning captain, don't really see the notability.

  1. The fact that they're someone with the rank of captain aboard the Executor at the time makes them notable, given that Galaxy Guide 3: The Empire Strikes Back Second Edition goes out of its way to mention Admiral Piett not promoting Lieutenant Venka to the rank of captain following his own promotion from captain to admiral. It further says Piett finally promoted Venka to the rank of captain after his failure over Bespin, when the Rebels got away but Vader did nothing to punish his staff—during the whole of the Hoth campaign, Venka could have been captain but was instead a lieutenant, with the same responsibilities. We don't know whether this specific captain had command of the Executor itself or had anything remotely to do with its staff, but with the context of ship's command structure regarding Venka, I think the ambiguity of "Piett and his captain" is just enough to warrant keeping this article.

  7. After thinking about this, I suppose having a defined rank in Legends would make this page notable, per OOM. Rsand 30 (talk) 01:35, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
  8. Distinct from their canon counterpart in that they have a defined rank. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 01:42, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

  • Just for the record, the canon counterpart of this article has been deleted per another Trash Compactor thread, so I moved the Legends article back to the main namespace. TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 21:14, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
