Biography
"Vader!"

- Endicott's surprised reaction to Darth Vader's arrival

The Human male Endicott was an orphan who attended the prestigious Academy of Carida, the toughest Imperial training facility in the galaxy. After graduating third in his class from the academy, Endicott was offered a docking bay officer position on the second Death Star, in construction over the remote Forest Moon of Endor.

In early 4 ABY, Endicott, a lieutenant, oversaw the arrival of Darth Vader's personal shuttle aboard one of the Death Star's hangars. Vader's visit came completely unannounced in an effort to remedy the Death Star's lagging construction schedule. Once Endicott realized that an approaching shuttle bearing a class-one priority ranking and requesting for the Death Star to deactivate its deflector shield was carrying the Dark Lord, he ordered a docking bay shield controller to notify Moff Jerjerrod, the Death Star's commander, of their distinguished guest's arrival.

Personality and traits
Endicott, a docking bay technician, displayed a certain shock of recognition, exclaiming Vader's name aloud to himself, upon realizing that the Dark Lord had suddenly and unexpectedly arrived aboard the Death Star. Unlike many Imperial officers, Endicott did not speak with a Coruscanti accent.

Behind the scenes
The Endicott character appears briefly, without name, in the opening scene of the 1983 film Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi as the docking bay control officer who orders a subordinate to inform Moff Jerjerrod of Darth Vader's arrival aboard the Death Star.

He was first identified by name and provided a brief back story on the "Lieutenant Endicott" card as part of the July 2000 Death Star II Limited expansion set of the Star Wars Customizable Card Game. The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, published in 2008, later designated an individual entry for the Endicott character based the original SWCCG information.
