Imperial Pilots
From the men who fly the capital ships to the men who leap into the cockpits of the TIE fighters, Imperial pilots
are the mainstay of the Imperial Navy. They are the necessary element in the military branch charged with protecting the space lanes from pirates, smugglers, alien invaders, and Rebels. The top pilots in the
galaxy are found in the Imperial Navy. These pilots, following the glorious and time-honored allure established
during the Republic, attend the premier academies throughout the Empire. Within these fine institutions, the Empire teaches these men duty and promotes the idea of maintaining order, as opposed to defending against aggression. TIE pilots form an elite corps within the Imperial Navy. Each candidate for admission into the rigorous TIE training program must undergo a strenuous screening and testing process. After all, they are being
prepared to fly the best starfighters the Empire has to offer.
