Danetta Pitta



Grand Admiral Danetta Pitta was a Grand Admiral of the Imperial Starfleet. He was one of the original 12 Grand Admirals, raised to that newly-created rank by the Emperor after the Battle of Yavin. Pitta spent most of his time obssessed with the purity of the Imperial New Order, and especially the racial purity aspects of it (reputedly, even COMPNOR members felt he we too vocifeorus); in a classic case of psychological projection (since Pitta himself was not pure Human- he also had Etti and Borneck blood), Pitta spent considerable effort investigating varied people's racial background and purging ruthlessly those who were even the slightest bit "impure". When not investigating backgrounds, Pitta busied himself wandering around the Outer Rim with three of his "Imperial Dungeon Ships" (the Apocahk, the Angrix, and the Azgoghk) abducting aliens, and torturing, enslaving, or experimenting on them. Despite this apparent lack of military ability or ambition, after the Emperor's death at the Battle of Endor, Pitta quickly bribed or otherwise coerced the Diktat of the Corellian System into accepting the new Warlord as his "protector", which gave Pitta control of the strategically valuable Corellian Sector, and its invaluable shipyards. About a year and a half after Endor, Pitta obtained a Torpedo Sphere from an unknown source, and set about procuring the thousands of proton torpedos necessary to render the sphere militarily useful. Hard on the heels of finishing refurbishment and supply, fellow Warlord and Grand Admiral Josef Grunger, invaded Corellia, which culminated in the Battle of Tralus. Pitta enjoyed initial success, his modest fleet savaging Grunger's armade amidst a devastating fusillade of proton torpedos. Grunger, facing defeat in this battle, and the defeat in his larger aim of becoming the new Emperor, surveyed the wreckage of his once-mighty fleet, and in desperation ordered his Super Star Destroyer Aggressor to ram at full-speed Pitta's torpedo sphere. Both Grand Admirals were aboard their respective flagships, and both perished in the ensuing enourmous explosion.
