Imperial Navy High Command

Imperial Navy High Command, also known as Fleet Command, was one of the command groups of the Imperial Starfleet. By 1 BBY, Admiral Conan Antonio Motti has held the title of Admiral of the Fleet, and was also Chief of the Imperial Navy. Around 4 ABY, senior members of the Fleet Command wanted to leak out to the Rebel Alliance that a large part of the Imperial Navy was assembling. Admiral Firmus Piett of Death Squadron was a member of the command.

Fleet Command was the best known and most important command unit under the Admiralty, and was respected even by its enemies. Fleet Command controlled the Imperial Navy's sub-capital and capital ships, and most Navy personnel, from the lowest members of the Navy to the Admiral of the Fleet, fell under the control of Fleet Command.
