Technical Services Officer

Technical Services Officers were personnel in the Imperial military responsible for engineering and maintainance. For example, in 3 ABY, Commander Brandei was serving as a Technical Services Officer with the Fleet Support Branch, as the officer in charge of maintaining the TIE Fighter squadrons aboard the Super Star Destroyer Executor.

It is very likely that the specialist engineering taskforces of Force Technical Services were also Technical Services Officers, but it is not clear exactly what the organizational relationship was between engineers aboard front-line capital ships and those in dedicated support units: the evidence does not make it clear whether the Fleet Support Branch to which Brandei belonged was the command structure for all Techncial Services personnel, or just the subordinate hierarchy for those technians serving directly aboard front-line warships, within a wider Technical Services organization.
