Imperial briefing officer

An Imperial briefing officer, also known as a Flight Officer, was an officer responsible for assigning Imperial TIE pilots to their missions, providing tactical analysis of the pilot's role both pre- and post-flight, as well as explaining the various hazards and ship movements they should expect - or should have expected.

In this role he commented on the flight plans that were displayed to the pilots, and was eager to answer personally any questions concerning mission objectives, conditions, warnings and so forth. During missions, he would relay information to the pilots on changes of plan, enemy movements, and suggest targets to inspect, disable or destroy.
