Feyet Kiez held the rank of admiral in the navy of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. By 5 BBY, he commanded the Empire, the first Imperial II-class Star Destroyer. The Star Destroyer's crew was handpicked to be among the finest in the Empire, and the vessel's duties were to capture Rebel Alliance supply convoys and medical ships.
Admiral Feyet Kiez fled Anaxes (pictured) with the Super Star Destroyer Whelm.
Several months prior to the Thrawn campaign of 9 ABY, Kiez and his command crew fled the Core Worlds planet Anaxes with the Executor-class Star Dreadnaught Whelm, a Super Star Destroyer of the Anaxes-based Azure Hammer Command. When Osted Wermis, Anaxes's Imperial commandant, surrendered the planet to the New Republic, he expressed confusion as to Kiez's intentions. New Republic Intelligence considered Kiez's disappearance with the Whelm to be the most concerning report out of several similar stories of high-ranking Imperials disappearing along with warships.
In fact, Kiez had taken the Whelm to the Deep Core, where the Galactic Emperor Palpatine, who had been resurrected on the Deep Core world Byss following his death in 4 ABY, had summoned Imperial forces loyal to him. The Whelm later participated in the reborn Emperor's early campaigns.
Feyet Kiez was first mentioned in the 2001 sourcebook Starships of the Galaxy, written by Owen K.C. Stephens and published by Wizards of the Coast for use with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game.
