Fleet Support Branch

The Fleet Support Branch was an arm of the Imperial military staffed by Technical Services Officers, responsible for logistics and maintainance aboard capital ships. In 3 ABY, Commander Brandei was serving with the Fleet Support Branch, as the officer in charge of the TIE Fighter squadrons aboard the Super Star Destroyer Executor.

It is likely that the Fleet Support Branch was directly integrated into the Imperial Navy, but it is not clear whether it was the section of the military to which all Technical Services Officers belonged, or simply a subdivision of a wider Technical Services command, perhaps responsible for the technians serving directly aboard front-line warships as distinct from the dedicated maintainance ships of Force Technical Services. In either event, however, there are likely to have been direct organizational connections of some sort between the Fleet Support Branch and FTS, and perhaps also with the Fleet Support Depot which developed on Coruscant during the Clone Wars.
