— Ancient Jawa Farewell


Greyson Abrams, M.D., is a neurosurgeon, researcher, and politician who is the current governmental head of the Zann Consortium government under the title of Komoniic (2IC). Prior to his current position, he had worked for various entities and governments while continuing his higher education. Since year 16, he has been a strong advocate for neural interfacing, cybernetic integration, and eugenics.

Born on Tatooine, and a graduate of Ayafa Medical University, Greyson has authored numerous books on his medical experiments and several articles on his political stances. Greyson is also currently appointed as the personal physician to the Krestviniic to the Zann Consortium government.

After a short retirement as second-in-command for Zann Consortium in early year 18, quietly returned as Komoniic later that year where he currently remains.


Biography

Early Years

Greyson was born on Day 164 of Year -11 at 01:00:00 Galactic Standard Time in the dark cluttered corridors of his D'nec clan's Sandcrawler on Tatooine. His parents often told him that as soon as he was born, he went right to work taking apart droids and collecting scrap.

Growing up, Greyson was quite different than the average Jawa who roamed the deserts. As a youth, he became increasingly restless and yearned to leave his homeworld and travel the galaxy. Greyson spent most of his childhood and adolescence sitting atop one of his clan's vast sandcrawlers, examining the stars and wondering what wonders might await him should he leave Tatooine and venture into unknown territories.

After spending many restless and boring years on Tatooine, Greyson was presented with an opportunity to leave forever. Jawas typically made their living by traveling around the deserts of their home world, scavenging damaged or abandoned droids, which they would patch up and sell on to the local moisture farmers. Their wares were rarely up to scratch, though unhappy farmers were usually unable to complain, as the Jawas departed in their sandcrawlers almost immediately after a sale.

One such disgruntled farmer managed to find the Jawas who had sold him a faulty droid-- it had exploded, damaging one of the moisture vaporators which were essential to his survival on the parched planet. Incensed, the man demanded that the Jawas compensate him, though the clan refused. Unable to hold back his fury, the moisture farmer attacked them. After several Jawas were killed and his clan fleeing for safety, Greyson developed a plan. He quickly found another (knowingly) faulty droid and presented it to the farmer free of charge. The man, sated, gladly accepted the droid but wanted to personally check it for flaws first. As the man approached the droid, a faulty power cell caused a cascading failure. The resulting explosion heavily damaged the droid and sent razor sharp shrapnel directly towards the farmer, killing him instantly. This first detonation would be one that would send him down the path with his obsession with explosions forever.

Education

Undergraduate Years

Abrams began his university education at Consortium State College on Ord Vaxal in year 5 at the age of 16. For the first 6 months, he was bored and lonely – he found the academic work “ridiculously easy.” His physics tutor later said, “It was only necessary for him to know that something could be done, and he could do it without looking to see how other people did it.”

Although he was an avid reader who fell in love with scientific and mathematical theories, he did not do well in business classes in college and avoided taking math. His grades during his first two years put him in the lower one-fifth of the class. During his sophomore year, he reportedly spent much of his time watching the HoloNet, gambling, and occasionally smoking ryll. In his junior in senior years, he became more involved with his studies. In his senior year, he took a class in neuroscience which sparked his interest in the medical field and other health issues. Abrams earned an A on his thesis “The Impact of Technology in the Field of Medicine” and graduated with an A.B. cum laude midyear 8.


Medical School

Greyson entered Ayafa Medical University in late year 8, and at first struggled academically, doing so poorly on his first set of comprehensive exams that his faculty adviser recommended he drop out of medical school or take a reduced academic load and take longer to finish. He continued with a regular academic load, purchased his first protocol droid, and his grades improved to average in his first year of medical school. By his second year of medical school, Greyson began to excel academically by seldom attending lectures and instead, studying text archives and lecture notes all hours of the day. Greyson graduated from Ayafa Medical University with an M.D. in year 11.

Greyson served one year as a surgical intern and five years as a neurosurgery resident, completing the final year as chief resident in year 17. He then spent one year as Senior Registrar in neurosurgery at the Consortium State Hospital on Ord Vaxal.


Career

Raging Banthas

Greyson had saved his clan from certain death, but was punished accordingly for breaching the Jawa way of non-violence. Though he had rescued his clan, Greyson was banished and sentenced to make his own way to civilization. A bitter Greyson took his only worldly possessions, as well as what meager credits he had, and walked out into the desert not knowing quite what to expect.

He eventually made his way to Mos Eisley and spent what credits he had bartering and drinking in the local cantina. Lost, Greyson was desperately seeking an idea for a new life when his childhood dream came to him.

After contacting Galactic Rescue Ops, arranging for transport off of Tatooine, and spending some time drifting throughout the galaxy he decided his calling was building starships. In Galactic Year 13, he found a particular company named Nova Demons, though while they accepted him into their organisation, they shortly thereafter merged with one of their brother companies named Raging Banthas. Loosely tied with the Dark Star Hellions swoop and mercenary gang, the company provided vehicles, items, and mining equipment to the galaxy. After the merger his new employer, Xakic Jix of Raging Banthas, had Greyson start the glorious and humble position of transporting cargo and raw materials.

After several months of being a long-hyper hauler, getting to know his coworkers, and being helpful wherever possible, Greyson was promoted into an advisory and lower administrative role. Though it didn't have an official title, Greyson had his hands in construction, sales, logistics, and trade. He was very often seen negotiating transactions with clients and always expanding the company's horizons. Although thoughts of his home and his clan remained with him, he was happy to be doing what he felt he was born to do.

Trade Federation

When Raging Banthas closed it's doors in Year 14, he desperately searched the Holonet for another company who was hiring for sentients. At long last, he found the Trade Federation and on Day 300 of Year 14 he was accepted as a Cadet. Wanting a change of pace from the administrative roles he had functioned in for the last year, he applied for entry into the Ministry of Defense being the first of his species entering for a Ministry of Defense role. He spent many hours of intense studying and research before finally completing the Academy exam and passing with flying colors. He was immediately accepted into the Ministry of Defense as an E-2 and set right to work on being the best soldier he could be, all the while remembering the events that lead him to this point with his clan and the farmer. Greyson had aspirations of becoming Minister of Defense some day for his government and becoming the first of his kind in government for the Trade Federation.

During this period with the Trade Federation, Greyson spent time transporting ships across the galaxy, flying sorties against enemy combatants, and participating in large-scale sector scanning for new, undiscovered worlds. Towards the beginning of Year 15, he was contacted through an anonymous message to see if he was willing to conduct espionage against the Trade Federation. Although not unhappy with the Trade Federation, the slow government procedures and the absolute structured life of an officer wasn't directly appealing. Greyson accepted the espionage offer.

About mid-year 15, there was a plot uncovered that Greyson might have been involved in illicit activities with the Trade Federation. Without hours of this discovery, Greyson had put in his notice of termination, returned his company provided ships, and fled Trade Federation territory to avoid detection and capture. It was from here, he officially joined with the company that had contracted him to conduct espionage; Zann Consortium.


His final rank in the Trade Federation was E-5 Chief Flight Sergeant with two medals earned:

— Security Specialist Lvl 1 [SS-L1]
— Good Conduct Award [GCA], awarded by (then) Viceroy Jacob Jansen himself.

It was in this role that Greyson started the massive changes that would come to the organization and help lead it into the government that it is today.


Year 15

Terrorists in Coruscant

After joining Zann Consortium officially, he went right back into the work that he had originally done for Raging Banthas; hauling ships, materials, and any other standard industrialized business that a company might require. As he had served his time in the Trade Federation as an infiltrator, he was officially promoted to the full rank of Defiler and all of the responsibilities that it encompassed. In a clandestine ceremony, he was awarded his red Defiler armor and gear. It is now one of his most prized possessions in his collection.

Having a natural ability for structure and organization, it was no surprise to Greyson that one of his first official duties was to handle The Octagon League (Year 13) [TOL] takeover and assimilation. In the wake of Gamba Jaboli's assassination, the Octagon League was in a massive state of disorganization. As the New Republic mourned the apparent massive loss of one of their beloved associates, Zann Consortium notified the remaining employees that business would try to resume as normal and that most members would not be harmed. Under Greyson's analytical thinking, the business returned to normal activity within three standard galactic days.

Shortly thereafter, a raid on a Kuat Systems Engineering vehicle storage led to the transfer of ninety-five AT-STs and over a thousand other vehicles to the ownership of Zann Consortium. As the majority of the vehicles were protected by Imperial shields and owned facilities, acquiring these vehicles would be difficult. Instead of waiting for their facilities to be broken into and the raided assets taken, the Galactic Empire chose to recycle the majority of their buildings with the vehicles still inside, destroying any possible chance for recovery.

On Day 177 of Year 15, the man who originally brought him to Zann Consortium, Andy "Vex" Longshot, was executed. He was charged and punished, among many other things, with fueling the incident within the Trade Federation that led to Greyson's swift retirement and exodus from the government. As a testament to the incident, a newscast detailing the event was hacked and broadcasted by Greyson to the Galactic News System on Day 275 of Year 15.[1]


Year 16

Taxing the Rebels

On Day 232, a Defiler inside of the government of the New Republic (NR), posing as an Army 2nd Lt., successfully raided one of the rebel armories. Numerous rebel trooper helmets and uniforms along with E-11b trooper rifles are among the equipment liberated from the supply depot. The Zann agent entered and left without a trace, evading security personnel and surveillance droids. Ximaro Jix later explained to NR officials that the operation was a small taxation on the rebellion for the rebels own attempts to undermine the terrorist network's activities around the galaxy.

On Day 240, a New Republic Intelligence agent by the name of Thrae Claddlyl attempted to lure Ximaro Jix into a trap in order to assassinate the Zann Consortium leader. He was subdued by a Zann Consortium security team and returned to the New Republic.

On Day 244, Kominiic Greyson Abrams of Zann Consortium released a GNS post highlighting the attempted assassination and the supply depot liberation.[2]


Year 17

Breathing Apparatus

Triumvirate Coalition's Fallen King

On Day 17, news spread across the galaxy that rebel government Triumvirate Coalition suffered an attack. [3] Intelligence officials along with Coalition forces confirmed that former Consul and King of Triumvirate Rick Fias along with Zann second-in-command Greyson Abrams entered into the government and looted bank vaults of credits over eleven billion credits . In addition to the credits stolen, Defilers commanded by Greyson changed over ownership paperwork of cities, ships, facilities, raw materials and weapons within Triumvirate territory. Finalizing the attack, Greyson, along with Rick, went on to corrupt the local populace and convinced up to five thousand of the government’s main work force along with troops to defect against their government. Zann leader Ximaro Jix was present in the territory assisting with the operation.

The operation happened just days after former Triumvirate Consul Dero Racto got into a heated argument with Ximaro over a neutral aggression pact Ximaro and Zann were trying to establish with Triumvirate to put an end to Zann's continued attacks against the Coalition. Details of the feud between the Consul and former Crime Lord were left unknown. During the looting Fias, announced he himself was a Defiler, which Ximaro later confirmed via multiple transmissions. Despite the large physical presence of Zann agents during the assault on the government, neither innocent civilians nor troops of Triumvirate were harmed. Rick went on to explain that any and all citizens found would be taken into custody by Defilers and would be given fair treatment. As Triumvirate Forces rushed to protect their holds, Zann cleared various ships of hostiles in the state's space and was observed present by hundreds of witnesses.


Get Jawa

On Day 140, three enemy sleeper agents confronted Kominiic Greyson Abrams attempting capture. The attempted apprehension contributed to the immediate death of Kyoto Onren, who was taken down by Greyson personally. The other two assassins, A`yala A`dia and Jax Xanbot, fled the scene but were later captured and killed by additional Zann forces including members from their special security force and Insurgency Cell 3. In the days following the attack, no organizations would claim the attack.

This attack left Abrams scarred and unable to breath properly on his own without a breathing apparatus. Under advisement from the Zann Consortium Medical Corps, he now wears a modified heavy battle armor suit that can tend to his ongoing medical issues. Although he can survive without the suit and can wear a breathing mask instead, Abrams finds it simpler just to wear the suit at all times. Abrams hopes that through viral modification of the Derra Virus, that spontaneous organ regeneration can become one day possible.


Views

Spirituality

In an interview, Abrams offered his definition of spirituality: "For me, when I say spiritual, I’m referring to a feeling you would have that connects you to the universe in a way that it may defy simple vocabulary. We think about the universe as an intellectual playground, which it surely is, but the moment you learn something that touches an emotion rather than just something intellectual, I would call that a spiritual encounter with the universe." Abrams has argued that many great historical scientists' belief in intelligent design limited their scientific inquiries, to the detriment of the advance of scientific knowledge.

When asked during a question session at Consortium State University if he believed in a higher power, Abrams responded: "Every account of a higher power that I've seen described, of all religions that I've seen, include many statements with regard to the benevolence of that power. When I look at the universe and all the ways the universe wants to kill us, I find it hard to reconcile that with statements of beneficence. So what people are really after is what is my stance on religion or spirituality or Ara, and I would say if I find a word that came closest, it would be agnostic ... at the end of the day I'd rather not be any category at all; but I do believe in Ara. It's conflicting and confusing, but that in itself is the nature of the universe."


Racism and Eugenics

In an undated interview, Abrams talked about being non-human and one of the most visible and well-known scientists in the galaxy. He told a story about being interviewed about a plasma burst from the Coruscant sun, "I'd never before in my life seen an interview with a non-human person on the HoloNet for expertise that had nothing to do with being alien. And at that point, I realized that one of the last stereotypes that prevailed among people who carry stereotypes is that, sort of, 'aliens' are somehow dumb. I wondered, maybe ... that's a way to undermine this sort of, this stereotype that prevailed about who's smart and who's dumb. I said to myself, 'I just have to be visible, or others like me, in that situation.' That would have a greater force on society than anything else I could imagine."

In year 13, at a conference at the Galactic Academy of Sciences, Greyson responded to a question about whether genetic differences might keep sentients from working as scientists. He said that his goal to become an scientist was, "...hands down the path of most resistance through the forces ... of society." He continued: "My life experience tells me, when you don’t find 'aliens' in the sciences, when you don’t find women in the sciences, I know these forces are real and I had to survive them in order to get where I am today. So before we start talking about genetic differences, you gotta come up with a system where there’s equal opportunity. Then we can start having that conversation."

In a year 16 interview with Consortium State News, Greyson said that he related his experience on that year 13 panel in an effort to make the point that the scientific question about genetic differences can't be answered until the social barriers are dismantled. "I’m saying before you even have that conversation, you have to be really sure that access to opportunity has been level." In that same interview, Abrams said that race is not a part of the point he is trying to make in his career or with his life. According to Abrams, "That then becomes the point of people’s understanding of me, rather than the science. So it’s a failed educational step for that to be the case. If you end up being distracted by that and not [getting] the message." He purposefully no longer speaks publicly about race. "I don't give talks on it. I don’t even give GNS reports about it. I decline every single one of them. In fact, since year 12, I've declined every interview that has my being alien as a premise of the interview."

In year 17, when questioned on his stance with eugenics, he said, "Through better understanding of our galaxies' genomes, we can improve upon ourselves and create a unified new race based upon all of the positive traits from all species.. from Abyssian to Zeltron.. and beyond even. There is no reason for entities such as the Empire to prohibit status based on race when we can perfect so called 'humanity' to a point where the galaxy can be unified. I don't think the galaxy is ready for such race advancement but, perhaps someday we can put such archaic issues aside and unite."

Even after such statements, Abrams believes the Jawa race is 'impure' and must be 'purified.' This has lead to the direct or indirect murder of publically known Jawas in the past such as Uli-ah Gafsa and Grisu Moratom.
