Author's Note: This section takes place from Admiral Ozzel's death to when the Executor begins to follow the Falcon after the Battle of Hoth. The lines are meant to separate the letters/journal entries/etc, I hope it's not annoying.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Star Wars. If I did, Piett and Needa might have lived. I rather liked them.
Firmus,
I heard you were promoted! Is this true? Call me!
Love,
Mom
Mom,
It's true. Can't talk now. Busy.
I love you, you know that, right?
Firmus
From the Desk of F. Piett
Location: Nearing Hoth System
Rebels located. Attack planned. Mysterious Skywalker, destroyer of the Death Star, is a target. Wanted alive. Lord Vader has personally placed a bounty on his head – alive only. Not sure what this means, except that if I were to kill Skywalker, I might as well kill myself. I already embarrassed myself in front of the Dark Lord my first day aboard the Executor. I asked him if I could get him a drink at a staff meeting. I'm still not sure how I survived without more than a blank stare.
More later
Location: Following a rebel ship
Adm. Ozzel is dead. I've been promoted.
I've already chewed three anti-nausea and three anti-anxiety tablets. It's no exaggeration to say that I may develop an ulcer or seven.
Hey Fir STOP Congrats on promotion STOP True it was from Vader himself? STOP Congrats from your anti-piracy buddies STOP
Attn: All
We shall not be holding a memorial service for Adm. Ozzel – finding the Millennium Falcon is of greater importance. Instead a moment of silence will be held at dinner 0630 hours.

Attn: All
The choking jokes are not appreciated, even in rec rooms. Anyone found making such jokes shall be demoted and put on garbage detail.
The dianogas are the only ones who appreciate such jokes.
Be considerate, if nothing else.

Dear Mrs. Ozzel,
It is with great sympathy and sadness that I write to let you know of your husband's death. Unfortunately we are unable to make dock and therefore we cannot return his body to you. Rest assured it will be kept in our morgue until our mission ends.
My deepest condolences,
Admiral F. Piett
Executor
For the Glory of the Emperor!

Explain why there will be a moment of silence at dinner tonight. Since when is incompetency admirable enough to warrant a token of remembrance?
Attn: All
There will be no moment of silence held at dinner. Please see the Captain if there are any questions.
