"I've already told my exec I'm ready to sign on. Soon as they get a gun working, enough air to breathe, and enough gravity to tell which way's up, I'm there."
―Tenn Graneet[1]
Imperial Officer IACS

A First Officer with the rank of Lieutenant

In many militaries, an executive officer (or simply X.O. or exec) was the second-in-command of a single military unit and reported directly to the commanding officer (or C.O.). The X.O. was typically responsible for the management of day-to-day activities within the unit in order to free the commander to concentrate on either planning the unit's next move or issuing general orders as circumstances dictated. The X.O. would also take charge of the unit in the absence of the commander (either due to being on leave, incapacitated in some fashion, or killed in the line of duty, among other possibilities). The position was frequently the stepping-stone to a command position for the officer.

Some organizations used the term "Second-in-Command," First Mate," or "First Officer" to describe an X.O., including paramilitary and non-military entities such as civilian starships or pirate and/or smuggling organizations.

History[]

In 3 BBY, during the Galactic Civil War, Imperial Master chief petty officer Tenn Graneet requested to his executive officer that he be transferred to the Death Star when it finished construction.[1] In 9 ABY, Vict Darron served as the executive officer to Admiral Delak Krennel, aboard the Direption.[2]
