- "Four minutes to targeting range."
"Excellent. Keep pushing back against our former regent, would you? Let him try his hardest to stop us, and fail." - ―A weapons officer and Queen Fanry
A weapons officer served the royal fleet of the Pijali monarchy on the Inner Rim planet Pijal during the Republic Era. They and a comm officer worked together while aboard the Righteous, the recently-renamed flagship of the Pijali fleet.[1]
In 40 BBY,[2] the weapons officer was present on the Righteous following the coronation of Pijal's Queen Fanry. Once Fanry had assumed command over the flagship, she ordered the weapons officer to begin targeting the nearby Czerka Corporation cruiser Leverage. They conceded, telling their monarch how long it would be until the Righteous would be in targeting range. Moments later, the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn informed Fanry via hologram that the enslaved workers aboard the Leverage were attempting to revolt against Czerka. Afterward, the weapons officer hesitated when Fanry continued insisting on attacking the corporation's vessel. Shortly after, the queen's attendant, Cady, held Fanry at blaster point until she surrendered, unwilling to let the monarch harm the enslaved workers seeking their freedom.[1]
