The Eiattu pirates, also known as TIE Pirates, were a pirate group of Imperial starfighter pilots who were hiding out on the planet of Radix in the Abraxas system in the wake of the Battle of Endor. They committed several raids on New Republic freighters and convoys that they saw as trespassing in their home system while using Radix as a depot to refuel and rearm their ships.
The group was created in 4 ABY after the debacle at Endor and was led by Lieutenant Harme Kiela. A former Imperial Navy captain named Kine later betrayed the group during a battle between the TIE Pirates and forces of the New Republic.
Following Lando Calrissian's mission to Radix,[1] the New Republic First Battle Group engaged the pirates on Abraxas and destroyed them.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Jason Fry confirmed on the Jedi Council Forums that the Eiattu pirates mentioned in The Essential Guide to Warfare are the pirates from Lando's Commandos and that the Battle of Abraxas follows Lando's mission.[1]
