Jez Rick

Jez Rick was an officer in the Imperial Navy and briefly captain of the Vektek-class stealth cruiser Arconoss.

Early life
Jez Rick was born on Graciin around 40 years before the Battle of Yavin. At some point he joined the Imperial Navy, and was eventually assigned to the prototype craft, the Arconoss.

Career
Rick first served under the Bessalisk Ayil Kreleoth as a petty officer. The ship served briefly as Emperor Palpatine's private transport, though Rick never saw the Emperor himself. After Kreleoth's retirement, Rick served under B'roxxa of Issthaen, whom he and his friend Gieg Brillith, who had joined the crew of the Arconoss at the same time, exposed as a traitor to the Imperial authorities.

The next captain, Ivikiapivi, proved no better, however, and sided with the rogue Imperials of Raddar Duun during the Battle of Raddar Duun. He and Brillith killed Ivikapivi and turned on the rogues, destroying their base on the barren planet. Both he and Brillith were commended by the Empire, and served willingly under the ship's next captain, former governor of Craestyl, Senn Schorn, until his death in mysterious circumstances in 2 ABY.

Death
Much to his surprise, Rick was appointed as captain of the Arconoss instead of Brillith, who had served as Schorn's right-hand man. Rick captained the ship for little over a year, however, as he was brutally murdered by Brillith, who had become corrupted by the power the Arconoss seemed to hold.

Personality and traits
Jez Rick was a calm, relaxed and composed figure. He had the ability to remain cool and to make rational decisions in stressful circumstances, and exercised some compassion when the mood took him.
