Admiral Poteet of the Sector forces was a member of the Imperial Navy throughout the Galactic Civil War. During the year 0 BBY, he dispatched the librarian droid known as P-RC3 to serve at the Death Star Library, where the droid then functioned under the command of Commander Atour Riten.
The first reference to Poteet occurred in the 2007 novel titled Death Star, authored by Michael Reaves along with Steve Perry.
