Pich was an Imperial aide for Advisor Coh Veshiv in 0 ABY, at the time that Veshiv was on an inspection tour of the planet Esseles. Aboard the CR90 corvette Empire Forever, Pich, along with fellow aide Vestig, accompanied Veshiv on the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle Myrenia to the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Far Orbit after the EF76's captain, Dhas Fenoep Vedij, claimed that the Far Orbit would be Veshiv's new ship for his travels. However, it was a trap, and the crew of the Far Orbit, who were Alliance to Restore the Republic privateers, captured Veshiv.
