Ib Dekeet was an Imperial governor who was stationed in the Outer Rim Territories. He is a minor hero for the Pentastar Alignment from era 1 onwards.
Dekeet was one of the five powerful representatives present at the Pentastar Talks, and was initially hesitant to join forces with Grand Moff Ardus Kaine. However, the Grand Moff's skills as an orator and negotiator won the governor over. In particular, Governor Dekeet objected to putting the Pentastar logo on vehicles and troops under their command.
In game, Dekeet joins after 20 weeks and brings a Praetor-II class battlecruiser to bear; a fine addition to your initially vulnerable fleet.
