Firmus Piett (LadyVader)

Firmus Apollo Piett was a Human male who was the last admiral of the Imperial Navy's Death Squadron, Darth Vader's personal fleet of Star Destroyers.

Early life
Coming from humble beginnings, Firmus was born Firmus Jinn in 39 BBY to Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn (LadyVader) and Kaida Piett.

"Don't force our child into anything when they turn eight. If he or she chooses to join the Jedi, I'll support their decision. But please, I'm begging you all, on my knees, for my sake and the sake of the Force, don't force them into it. It should be my child's decision, not anyone else's.""

- Qui-Gon Jinn (LadyVader) to the Jedi Council (LadyVader)

Little Firmus, empathetic since birth, always had a love for animals, a love his paternal grandmother had shown as well. His middle name was in honor of his grandfather, Apollo Jerec Piett.

During Order 66, Kaida gave her son the Piett family name to protect him and went into hiding with him, listing his name as Firmus Piett. Not long after this, the two were captured and taken into slavery.

Slavery
During his experience in slavery as a young boy, Firmus contracted Dagobah Smallpox.

Academy Days
Firmus was mainly shy and quiet during his first three weeks at the academy. He suffered from a hidden, deep-seated depression that stemmed from grief and guilt over his father's death.

"Dad, I'm so sorry. . .If I had been there, you wouldn't have been killed."

One of the two rare joys of his included Swoop racing (LadyVader). Firmus would frequently ride and race a modified Aratech Nightscythe speeder bike. While racing, he made a friend in the sport, Thel Firin.

First position
Firmus' first position in the Republic Navy was aboard the Nexu's Nemesis under Margo Holland. He served as the Nemesis' main helmsman.

The bridge crew grew close, not just as coworkers, but also as friends.

After service
One night they each decided to get different nexu-related tattoos to commemorate and remember their years of friendship and service aboard the Nemesis. The tattoo Firmus chose was a rather risqué one involving an acklay and a nexu and he put it on his upper right arm and shoulder.

Captain Holland also gifted each of her officers with a duranium bracelet. On the outer side, a two-dimensional nexu was etched across the bracelet, seeming to stalk across the wearer's wrist. On the inner side was the individual officer's name, rank and position during service.

Backstory
This idea came to the author in a dream she had one night, where Firmus turned out to be Qui-Gon's son by blood.
