Legend

this man was one of the many Imperial officers who believed himself above the work of his troops, preferring to remain clean and dry while directing their work from a safe location. Commander Frickett was stationed on Maridun during the months following the Battle of Yavin, where he was under the command of General Ziering. Like his friend Captain Gage, Frickett scoffed at Lieutenant Janek Sunber's laboring with his troops, wondering how Sunber could ignore protocol to ingratiate himself with his superior officers. However, Ziering disagreed with this position, believing that Sunber had his priorities straight and inferring that both Frickett and Gage were the ones out of line. When Gage's patrol force discovered a huge Amanin army just outside the Imperial compound, Frickett's mind seemed to snap at the reality of the aliens' attack. He ordered the Imperial troops to open fire, despite the obvious fact that the Amanin could simply retreat into the jungle and regroup for another attack. The Amanin swiftly outflanked Frickett's forces and cut them down, killing Frickett in the attack.
