History
Early Independent career
Piett began his naval career, serving with the antipirate fleet. Piett was forced to work in the native sector of Dublin system on board of his Bretonia Gunboat. That was and continue to be one of the most dangerous sectors, and any attempts to bring an order is tied with heavy opposition. The enemies in this sector are many, from independent pirates and mollies to dangerous corsairs and wilders. Despite this, Piett soon was given command of the antipirate fleet. It was then renamed in to Bretonia Royal Fleet, consisted of several fighters and bombers, four gunboats, tree destroyers and two battleships. Piett's record with the fleet was flawless, and he made a tremendous amount of "arrests and suppressions." The Bretonia Royal Fleet numbers continue to increase. It had seven battleships, five destroyers as well as other small escort crafts. In time the fleet was spread all over Bretonia space in order to secure the safty of its sovereign. Soon enough, Piett's reputation reached the Admiralty board of the Bretonia Armed Forces, as he received various commendations.
Late Independent career
Firmus Piett continue to serve with the Independent Bretonia Royal Fleet, on board of their flagship HMS-Royal Sovereign. With an extraordinary number of arrests and suppressions to his name, as well as what appeared to be a perfectly clean record, Piett earned the attention of the high-ranked officers from the Admiralty board. In the late stages of his career, Piett proved himself an excellent captain of the bretonian dunkirks as well as good tactician. After many battles, where he increased his abilities to command, he received the permission to join the Bretonia Armed Forces with the rank of Lieutenant. Nevertheless the Piett's flagship continue to be part of the Bretonian Royal Fleet while it's captain slowly but progressively was building his reputation in the ranks of the Bretonia Armed Forces.
Officer of the Armed Forces
In his first months, as Lieutenant from the armed forces, Firmus Piett took part of multiple missions and operations. He continue to work in Dublin sector which was the Hell Hole of Bretonia. The molly and gaian attacks were something normal that happened every day. The corsair fleets were moving in to Dublin too and shooting everything which is not on their side. The Dublin Campaign was dangerous but it helped the young Lieutenant to create a cease of the situation and to impact with the problems, in this remote world, in person. Slowly the campaign of the antipirate fleet in Dublin reached its end. All ships were spread across Bretonia space and Dublin was let in the hands of the primary fleet of the Bretonia Armed Forces. Nevertheless few ships from BRF can still be noticed in some sectors of Bretonia doing their best to secure the peace.
Firmus Piett took part at the signing of the Omega Treaty between Rheinland and Bretonia, which happened in Cambridge system. He was in charge of the capital ships, protecting the sector, commanding them from HMS-Royal Sovereign. The operation was threatened by a small corsair bomber squad and several fighters. With the combined powers of the Rheinland Military and Bretonia Armed Forces, the corsairs were easily dealt with. Later in Omega-3 system, more corsairs arrived but this time with some capital escort vessels, trying desperatly to reach Cambridge system and to bring chaos in the diplomatic event. Capital ships and escort vessels separated from the primary fleet and moved to Omega-3. Several minutes later the corsair plague come to an end. The Treaty was signed and our guests were escorted back to their borders.
Months after these encounters Firmus Piett reached the rank of Commander and took part in to an Economic event. The Bowex company ordered a massive mining operation in Cambridge system, where Bretonia Armed Forces had to take part as heavy escort support. Several battleships as well as two destroyers and multiple fighters were sent to accompany one of the largest ships in Sirius, the Barge. The mission was simple, five Hegemon class ships and several small mining drones had to mine over 40 000 cargo of the precious Beryllium Ore. Due to the increased security of the system, as well as the traps that were placed to counter possible corsair attacks, the event ended as planned and Bretonia received hundreds millions of credits.
