'''Greyson Abrams''' (born Year -11 Day 164) is a [[Jawa]] who has made significant contributions as a virologist, geneticist, biotechnologist, politician, and businessman throughout the galaxy. He is best known for his work on the structure of the [[Metamorphosis Virus]] and his leadership roles in the [[Zann Consortium]] government.
  
From [[Year 11]] to [[Year 13]], Abrams was on the faculty of the Ayafa Medical University biology department, promoting research in molecular biology. In [[Year 12]] he served as director of the Nightshade Institute for Biological Studies (NIBS), significantly expanding its level of funding and research. At NIBS, he shifted his research emphasis to the study of virology, along with making it a [[sector]] leading research center in molecular biology. In late Year 15, he was appointed the chancellor, serving until he resigned in early Year 16 after making some controversial comments claiming a link between intelligence and race.  In late Year 16, he started as second-in-command to the Zann Consortium local government where he served for two years.  He was then appointed Chairman and CEO of the NexCore Mining Corporation where he currently is employed.

In late [[Year 15]], Abrams was appointed chancellor of the university, but he resigned in early Year 16 after making controversial comments claiming a link between intelligence and race. Later that year, he became the second-in-command to the Zann Consortium local government, where he served for two years. He was then appointed Chairman and CEO of the [[NexCore Mining Corporation]]. In [[Year 19|mid-Year 19]], Nexcore closed its doors, and Greyson returned to Zann Consortium once more.
  
Abrams is also currently appointed as the personal physician to the [[Zann_Consortium_Ranks#Krestviniic | Krestviniic]] and [[Zann_Consortium_Ranks#Kominiic | Kominiic]] of the Zann Consortium government.

Greyson Abrams was born on Day 164 of Year -11 at 01:00:00 [[Combine Galactic 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, Abrams was entirely 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]]. Abrams spent most of his childhood and adolescence sitting atop one of his clan's massive sandcrawlers, examining the stars and wondering what wonders might await him should he leave Tatooine and venture into unknown territories.

He spent most of his childhood and adolescence sitting atop one of his clan's massive sandcrawlers, examining the stars and dreaming of the wonders that awaited him if he left Tatooine and ventured into unknown territories.
  
After spending many restless and dull years on Tatooine, Abrams was presented with an opportunity to leave forever. Jawas typically made their living by traveling around the deserts of their homeworld, 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.

After many restless years on Tatooine, Abrams was presented with an opportunity to leave forever. Jawas typically made their living by scavenging damaged or abandoned droids, which they would patch up and sell on to local moisture farmers. Their wares were rarely up to scratch, and 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 tribe fleeing for safety, Abrams 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 check it for flaws first personally. 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.

Abrams, instead, began his university education at Consortium State College on Ord Vaxal in [[Year 5]] at the age of 16. For the first six 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 and 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'' [[year 8 | mid-Year 8]].

===Ayafa Medical University===
Abrams 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, Abrams began to excel academically by seldom attending lectures and instead, studying text archives and lecture notes all hours of the day. Abrams graduated from Ayafa Medical University with an M.D. in Year 11.

===Raging Banthas===
Abrams 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, Abrams was banished and sentenced to make his way to civilization. A bitter Abrams took his only worldly possessions, as well as what meager [[credit]]s he had and walked out into the desert not knowing quite what to expect.

He took his only worldly possessions, along with meager credits, and walked out into the desert, not knowing 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, Abrams was desperately seeking an idea for a new life when his childhood dream came to him.

Eventually, Abrams made his way to Mos Eisley, where he spent what credits he had bartering and drinking in the local cantina. Lost and desperately seeking an idea for a new life, his childhood dream of building starships came to him.
  
After contacting [[Galactic Rescue Ops]], arranging for transport off of Tatooine, and spending some time drifting through 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 organization, they shortly after that merged with one of their brother companies named [[Raging Banthas]]. Loosely tied with the [[Dark Star Hellions]] swoop and the 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 Abrams start the glorious and humble position of transporting cargo and raw materials.

The company provided vehicles, items, and mining equipment to the galaxy, loosely tied with the Dark Star Hellions swoop and the mercenary gang. After the merger, Abrams started as a long-hyper hauler, transporting cargo and raw materials.
  
After several months of being a long-hyper hauler, getting to know his co-workers, and being helpful wherever possible, Abrams was promoted into an advisory and lower administrative role.  Though it didn't have an official title, Abrams 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.

When Raging Banthas closed its 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. Abrams 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.

When Raging Banthas shut down in [[Year 14]], Abrams searched extensively on the Holonet for another company that was hiring sentients. Eventually, he stumbled upon the [[Trade Federation]], and on Day 300 of Year 14, he was accepted as a Cadet. Tired of administrative roles, he applied for entry into the Ministry of Defense, becoming the first Jawa to do so. He spent countless hours studying and researching before successfully completing the Academy exam, and was immediately accepted into the Ministry of Defense as an E-2. With the goal of eventually becoming the Minister of Defense for the Trade Federation, Abrams strived to be the best soldier he could be, all while remembering the events that led him to where he was.
  
During this period with the Trade Federation, Abrams 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 entire structured life of an officer wasn't directly appealing.  Abrams accepted the espionage offer.

During his time with the Trade Federation, Abrams transported ships across the galaxy, flew sorties against enemy combatants, and participated in large-scale sector scanning for new, undiscovered worlds. In the beginning of Year 15, he received an anonymous message offering him an opportunity to conduct espionage against the Trade Federation. Although content with his current position, he found the structured life of an officer monotonous and was tempted by the offer.
  
About mid-year 15, there was a plot uncovered that Abrams might have been involved in illicit activities with the Trade Federation. Without hours of this discovery, Abrams 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 the group that had contracted him to conduct espionage; Zann Consortium.

Around mid-Year 15, suspicions arose that Abrams was engaging in illicit activities with the Trade Federation. Within hours of the discovery, Abrams handed in his termination notice, returned his company-provided ships, and fled Trade Federation territory to avoid capture. He officially joined the group that had contracted him for espionage, the Zann Consortium.

===Kurran, Drakko, and the Phage Group===

Initially drawn to the field of molecular biology by the work of [[Vee Null]], Abrams soon became part of a distributed group of researchers studying the nature of genetic mutations, using bacteriophages - viruses that infect bacteria - as a means to this end. Suk Kurran and Abrams were among the leaders of this new "Phage Group," a movement of geneticists studying microbial genetics through experiments like ''AV0750''.
  
Initially, Abrams was drawn into molecular biology by the work of [[Vee Null]].  Vee eventually shared his work on the Kurran-Drakko experiment, which concerned the nature of genetic mutations.  He was part of a distributed group of researchers who were making use of the viruses that infect bacteria, called bacteriophages.  He and Suk Kurran were among the leaders of this new "Phage Group," an essential movement of geneticists studying experiments such as ''AV0750'' towards microbial genetics.
+
The Phage Group proved to be a crucial setting for Abrams to develop as a scientist, as its members believed they were on the path to uncovering the physical nature of the gene. In [[Year 14]], he attended a conference in Coruscant hosted by the Trade Federation on the Great Animosity Plague, a conventional view at the time which believed the Plague to be proteins that could replicate themselves. Despite the prevailing view that DNA was merely a "stupid tetranucleotide" playing a structural role to support proteins, Abrams was aware of the Semper-Luz experiments, which suggested that the Plague could be used to deliver foreign genetic material at will.
 
 
The Phage Group was the intellectual medium where Abrams became a working scientist.  Importantly, the members of the Phage Group sensed that they were on the path to discovering the physical nature of the gene. In [[Year 14]], he attended a bilateral conference on [[Coruscant]] hosted by the Trade Federation on the work of what was then known as the [[Great Animosity Plague]] that included the conventional view of the time, that the Plague were proteins and able to replicate themselves. The other major molecular component of chromosomes, DNA, was widely considered to be a "stupid tetranucleotide," serving only a structural role to support the proteins.  However, even at this time, Abrams, under the influence of the Phage Group, was aware of the Semper-Luz experiments which suggested that the Plague could be used to deliver foreign genetic material at will.
 
  
The experiments included the use of radioactive phosphate as a tracer to determine which molecular components of the Plague particles could infect the target DNA during viral infection.  The intention was to determine whether protein or DNA was the genetic material, but upon consultation with [[House Arkoh]], they concluded that their results were inconclusive and could not accurately identify the newly labeled molecules as DNA. Abrams never developed a constructive interaction with Vee Null, but he did accompany Vee to a meeting on [[Naboo]] where Abrams saw [[Xucphra]] talk about their x-ray diffraction data for DNA.  Abrams now was confident that DNA had a definite molecular structure that could be elucidated.

In Year 17, Con Semper and [[Paul Luz]] published their model of the amino acid alpha helix, a result that grew out of the original work for ''AV0750''.  This model would eventually become to known as ''AV0790'' in use for the [[Semper Procedure]].

===Theory of Consciousness===
 
===Theory of Consciousness===
The first of Abrams technical books, ''The Mindful Brain'' <small>(Year 16)</small>, develops his theory of Neural Evolution, which is built around the idea of plasticity in the neural network in response to the environment. The second book, ''Topobiology'' <small>(Year 17)</small>, proposes a theory of how the original neuronal network of a newborn [[Human|Human's]] brain is established during the development of the embryo. ''The Remembered Present'' <small>(Year 18)</small> contains an extended exposition of his theory of consciousness.
+
In his technical works, Abrams presents his theories on neural evolution, topobiology, and the remembered present. His first book, published in Year 16, titled "The Adaptive Brain," develops his theory of neural evolution, which explores the concept of plasticity in the neural network in response to environmental factors. His second book, published in Year 17, titled "The Neurodevelopmental Journey," proposes a theory of how the original neuronal network of a newborn's brain is established during embryo development. "A Conscious Universe," published in Year 18, contains an extended exposition of his theory of consciousness.
  
In his books, Abrams proposed a biological theory of consciousness, based on his studies of the immune system.  He explicitly located his method within natural selection, citing the critical tenets of population theory, which postulates that individual variation within species provides the basis for the natural selection that eventually leads to the evolution of new species. He explicitly rejected dualism and also dismissed more current hypotheses such as the so-called 'computational' model of consciousness and intelligence can be explained by natural selection.
+
Abrams' biological theory of consciousness draws on his studies of the immune system, and he explicitly grounds his approach within natural selection. He rejects dualism and also dismisses computational models of consciousness and intelligence as adequate explanations, instead focusing on the morphology of the brain to explain consciousness. He argues that a newborn human baby's brain comprises a massive population of neurons, and only those cells and networks best adapted to their ultimate purpose will be selected as they organize into neuronal groups. He emphasizes the importance of the excess capacity of neurons in the young brain, as neurons are the only cells in the body that cannot be renewed.
 
 
Abrams' theory seeks to explain consciousness regarding the morphology of the brain. A newborn Human baby's brain comprises a massive population of neurons and those that survive the initial phases of growth and development will make approximately 100 trillion connections with each other. A sample of brain tissue the size of a match head contains about a billion connections, and if we consider how these neuronal connections might be variously combined, the number of possible permutations becomes hyper-astronomical - in the order of ten followed by millions of zeros.  The young brain contains many more neurons that will ultimately survive to maturity, and Abrams argued that this excess capacity is needed because neurons are the only cells in the body that cannot be renewed and because only those cells and networks best adapted to their ultimate purpose will be selected as they organize into neuronal groups.

After joining Zann Consortium officially, he went right back into the work that he had initially been 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 [[Zann Consortium Ranks#Defilers|Defiler]] and all of the responsibilities that it encompassed.  In a private ceremony, he was awarded his red Defiler armor and gear.  It is now one of his most prized possessions in his collection.
+
Upon officially joining Zann Consortium, Abrams resumed his previous work hauling ships, materials, and industrialized goods. Due to his previous experience infiltrating the Trade Federation, he was quickly promoted to the rank of Defiler and awarded his red armor and gear in a private ceremony.
  
Having a natural ability for structure and organization, it was no surprise to Abrams that one of his first official duties was to handle [[The Octagon League (Year 13)]] takeover and assimilation.  In the wake of [[Gamba Jaboli | Gamba Jaboli's]] assassination, the Octagon League was in a massive state of disorganization.  As the [[New Republic]] (NR) mourned the apparent enormous loss of one of their beloved associates, Zann Consortium notified the remaining employees that business would try to resume as usual and that most members would not be harmed. Under Abrams' analytical thinking, the company returned to regular activity within three standard galactic days.
+
As a natural organizer, Abrams was tasked with handling the takeover and assimilation of The Hexagonal Ring, which was in disarray following the assassination of Gamba Jaboli. Under Abrams' leadership, the company resumed regular activity within three standard galactic days.
  
Shortly after that, a raid on a [[Kuat Systems Engineering]] vehicle storage led to the transfer of ninety-five [[AT-ST | 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.
+
Zann Consortium also acquired ninety-five AT-STs and over a thousand other vehicles from a Kuat Systems Engineering storage facility during a raid.

Abrams assumed the position of Director and President of the Nightshade Institute for Biological Studies (NIBS) in late Year 16, where he served for three years. During his tenure, he spearheaded the development of the institute's mission statement to further research molecular biology and genetics to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, neurological diseases, and other sources of suffering throughout the galaxy. With Abrams' leadership, NIBS significantly expanded both its research programs and its science education initiatives. He is recognized for his contribution in "revolutionizing a small establishment into a top education and research institution. His introduction of a cancer research program led to significant progress in understanding the genetic basis of cancer."
 
 
In his roles and director and president, Abrams led NIBS to articulate its present-day mission, "dedication to exploring molecular biology and genetics to advance the understanding and ability to diagnose and treat cancers, neurological diseases, and other causes of galactic suffering."

On Day 17 of Year 17, a report circulated across the galaxy that the government of the Triumvirate Coalition suffered an attack, in which former Consul and King of Triumvirate, Rick Fias, along with Zann Consortium's second-in-command, Abrams, raided the government and stole over eleven billion credits from the bank vaults.<ref name="TCOliNoa">[http://www.swc-triumvirate.com/news.php?readmore=468 A Message from Oli Noa - Year 17 Day 17]</ref> The raid also involved Defilers commanded by Abrams, who changed the ownership paperwork of various cities, ships, facilities, raw materials, and weapons in the Triumvirate territory. In addition to this, Abrams and Fias convinced up to five thousand of the government’s primary workforce along with troops to defect against their government, corrupting the local populace. Ximaro Jix, the Zann Consortium leader, was also present in the territory to assist 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 was a Defiler, which Ximaro later confirmed via multiple transmissions. Despite the significant 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.

This attack left Abrams scarred and unable to breathe 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 uniform at all times. Abrams hopes that through viral modification of the Metamorphosis Plague, that natural organ regeneration can become one day possible.

With a charitable donation by the Zann Consortium, Abrams was asked to help establish a self-governed research institute dedicated to biomedical research. They devised a unique structure of an independent research institute composed of "members" with a close relationship with the Department of Biology at Ayafa Medical University. The White Bear Institute for Biomedical Research (WIBR) was launched with 35 million credits to construct and equip a new building located across the street from Ayafa Medical University.  The institute also received 5 million credits per month in guaranteed income and a substantial endowment. Under Abrams' leadership a distinguished group of founding members including [[Ximaro Jix]], Vee Null, [[Hondo Walker]], and [[Zane Apex]].  Disciplines range from immunology, genetics, vivisection, torture, biotechnology, and oncology to significant development studies in animals ranging from Mynocks and [[Bantha|Banthas]] to volunteer sentient species willing to help advance medical knowledge.

Abrams was invited to aid in the establishment of a self-governed research institute aimed at biomedical research after the Zann Consortium made a charitable contribution. A unique structure of an independent research institute consisting of "members" was created with close ties to the Department of Biology at Ayafa Medical University. The White Bear Institute for Biomedical Research (WIBR) was launched with funding of 35 million credits to construct and equip a new building adjacent to Ayafa Medical University, with an additional guaranteed monthly income of 5 million credits and a significant endowment. Founding members, including [[Ximaro Jix]], [[Vee Null]], [[Hondo Walker]], and [[Zane Apex]], represented a range of disciplines from immunology, genetics, biotechnology, oncology, and vivisection to the study of animal species such as Mynocks, [[Bantha|Banthas]], and sentient volunteers, eager to advance medical knowledge.
 
 
The groundwork has been laid for future studies such as weapons, engine, metallurgy, and electronics development, research, and testing.
 
  
The medical laboratories are dedicated to two primary research areas: understanding the mammalian immune system and creating viral vectors to make the immune system more efficient in resisting cancer. Recognizing the diverse activity of the NF-κB transcription factor is one focus. NF-κB is now known to activate as many as 1000 genes in response to various stimuli. It is also known to play different roles in different cells.

Under Abrams' leadership, the groundwork was laid for future studies, including weapons, engine, metallurgy, and electronics development, research, and testing. WIBR's medical laboratories were dedicated to two primary research areas: understanding the mammalian immune system and creating viral vectors to make the immune system more effective in resisting cancer. The team's focus was on the diverse actions of the NF-κB transcription factor, which activates up to 1000 genes in response to different stimuli and plays different roles in various cells.
  
Another focus is understanding the functions of microRNA. MicroRNAs provide acute control over gene expression by regulating the amount of protein made by particular messenger RNAs. In recent research led by [[Biotech]], Abrams' team has discovered a small RNA molecule called microRNA-146a (miR-146a) and bred a strain of mynocks that lacks miR146a. They have used the miR146a(-) mynocks as a model to study the effects of chronic inflammation on the activity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Their results suggest that microRNA-146a protects HSCs during chronic inflammation and that its lack may contribute to blood cancers and bone marrow failure.

During a secret medical procedure that only CCyia`vet and the droid attended, a brain swapping procedure was performed, allowing Cyiavet to transfer her consciousness into the droid body. The procedure was a success, and the organic body was discarded. As a result, Abrams is now almost always seen accompanied by his wife, who serves as his loyal protocol and translation droid, personal assistant, and companion.
  
  
 
===Spirituality===
 
===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.
+
In an interview, Abrams shared his perspective on spirituality, defining it as "a feeling that connects you to the universe in a way that may defy simple vocabulary." He believed that science and spirituality could coexist and complement each other, with spiritual experiences being a form of emotional connection to scientific discoveries. However, Abrams has also expressed controversial views and beliefs, particularly in his tendency towards fascist ideologies. In a speech, he praised the efficiency and order that fascism could bring, while condemning what he perceived as the chaos and disorder of democracy. These views have earned him a reputation as a villain in the galaxy, and his ideologies have often clashed with those of the more progressive and liberal factions.
 
 
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 about 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 [[Alissma | 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."

===Conflicts with Racism===
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 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 in society than anything else I could imagine."
+
In an undated interview, Abrams shared his experiences as a non-human and prominent scientist in the galaxy. He recalled an interview he gave about a plasma burst from the Coruscant sun, where he was one of the few non-human experts consulted for his expertise in the field. It was a moment that made him realize the prevalence of the stereotype that non-humans are somehow less intelligent, and he made it his mission to challenge this stereotype by being visible and representing non-human scientists in mainstream media.
  
In Year 13, at a conference at the Galactic Academy of Sciences, Abrams responded to a question about whether genetic differences might keep sentients from working as scientists. He said that his goal to become a 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 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."
+
At a conference at the Galactic Academy of Sciences in Year 13, Abrams was asked about the possibility of genetic differences hindering the success of non-human scientists. He responded by pointing out that his own path to becoming a scientist was full of resistance and obstacles due to societal prejudices. Before discussing genetic differences, he argued, the social barriers and lack of equal opportunities for all species needed to be dismantled.
  
In a Year 16 interview with Consortium State News, Abrams said that he related his experience on that Year 13 panel 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 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 a Consortium State News interview in Year 16, Abrams reiterated the importance of removing social barriers and promoting equal opportunities in science. He stated that he no longer speaks publicly about race, as he believes that focusing on his alien identity detracts from the message and importance of his scientific work. Since Year 12, he has declined any interview that focuses on his alien identity as the premise, as he believes it undermines the true purpose of his work as a scientist.

===Research & Development===
Abrams is an advocate for expanding the operations of research and development throughout the galaxy. Arguing that "the most powerful concept on the dreams of a galaxy is currently underfunded to do what it needs to be doing." Abrams has suggested that the general public tends to overestimate how much revenue is allocated to the research. At a Year 17 address, referencing the proportion of tax revenue spent on R&D, he stated, "By the way, how much does R&D cost?  It's half of one unit. Did you know that?  The people are saying, 'Why are we spending money up there...' I ask them, 'How much do you think we're spending?' They say 'five units, ten units on a credit..' It's a half a single unit."

Abrams is a vocal proponent of expanding research and development operations throughout the galaxy. He firmly believes that "the most powerful concept on the dreams of a galaxy is currently underfunded to do what it needs to be doing." Abrams argues that the general public overestimates the amount of revenue allocated to research, often mistaking it for a large portion of the budget. At a Year 17 address, he clarified the proportion of tax revenue spent on R&D, stating that it is only half a unit. He challenged the audience, asking, "How much do you think we're spending? Five units, ten units on a credit...?" before revealing that the actual amount is a mere half a unit.

In a Year 18 public address, Abrams advocated for increasing the budget for R&D. He argued that with just one unit on a credit, twice the current budget, the galaxy could be transformed from a "sullen, dispirited government, weary of economic struggle" to one that has "reclaimed its rightful birthright to dream of tomorrow." Abrams firmly believes that investing in research and development is the key to unlocking the galaxy's potential and advancing the scientific knowledge and technological capabilities of sentient species.
<blockquote>Right now, Zann Consortium's annual budget is half a unit on your tax credit. For twice that—a unit on a credit—we can transform the galaxy from a sullen, dispirited government, weary of economic struggle, to one where it has reclaimed its rightful birthright to dream of tomorrow.</blockquote>

===Eugenics===
In Year 17, when questioned on his stance with eugenics, he said, "Through a 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 [[Abyssin | Abyssian]] to [[Zeltron]] and beyond.  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."
+
In Year 17, Abrams expressed his support for eugenics during an interview, suggesting that through a better understanding of galactic genomes, a unified new race could be created, taking the positive traits from all species. However, he believed that such race advancement was not yet feasible, but hoped that someday the galaxy could overcome its current divisions.
  
Even after such statements, Abrams believes the Jawa race is 'impure' and must be 'purified.'  Abrams has repeatedly supported genetic screening and genetic engineering in public lectures and interviews, arguing that stupidity is a disease and the "really stupid" bottom 10% of people should be cured.

Despite his beliefs in genetic engineering, Abrams held strong prejudices against the Jawa race, which he considered to be 'impure' and in need of purification. This belief has led to controversy and direct or indirect violence against the Jawa community, with publicized cases such as the murder of individuals such as [[Uli-ah Gafsa]] and [[Grisu Moratom]].

— Ancient Jawa Farewell


Greyson Abrams (born Year -11 Day 164) is a Jawa who has made significant contributions as a virologist, geneticist, biotechnologist, politician, and businessman throughout the galaxy. He is best known for his work on the structure of the Metamorphosis Virus and his leadership roles in the Zann Consortium government.

From Year 11 to Year 13, Abrams was a faculty member at the Ayafa Medical University biology department, where he promoted research in molecular biology. In Year 12, he served as the director of the Nightshade Institute for Biological Studies (NIBS), where he expanded its level of funding and research. At NIBS, he shifted his research focus to the study of virology, making it a leading research center in the sector.

In late Year 15, Abrams was appointed chancellor of the university, but he resigned in early Year 16 after making controversial comments claiming a link between intelligence and race. Later that year, he became the second-in-command to the Zann Consortium local government, where he served for two years. He was then appointed Chairman and CEO of the NexCore Mining Corporation. In mid-Year 19, Nexcore closed its doors, and Greyson returned to Zann Consortium once more.

In addition to his work in the government, Abrams was granted the White Bear Institute on Ord Vaxal in early Year 19 to perform experiments and research. He also currently serves as the personal physician to the Krestviniic and Kominiic of the Zann Consortium government.


Early Life and Education

Greyson Abrams was born on Day 164 of Year -11 at 01:00:00 Combine Galactic 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, Abrams was different from the average Jawa who roamed the deserts. As a youth, he became increasingly restless and yearned to leave his homeworld to travel the galaxy. He spent most of his childhood and adolescence sitting atop one of his clan's massive sandcrawlers, examining the stars and dreaming of the wonders that awaited him if he left Tatooine and ventured into unknown territories.

After many restless years on Tatooine, Abrams was presented with an opportunity to leave forever. Jawas typically made their living by scavenging damaged or abandoned droids, which they would patch up and sell on to local moisture farmers. Their wares were rarely up to scratch, and 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. The droid 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 tribe fleeing for safety, Abrams 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 check it for flaws personally. 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.


Undergraduate Years

Originally, Abrams had applied to Phu Sector University but was denied acceptance due to lack of financial responsibility and credible references.

Abrams began his university education at Consortium State College on Ord Vaxal in Year 5 at the age of 16. For the first six months, he was bored and lonely, finding 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 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 and 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 cum laude in mid-Year 8.


Ayafa Medical University

Greyson Abrams enrolled in Ayafa Medical University in late Year 8. Initially, he struggled academically, scoring poorly on his first set of comprehensive exams. His faculty adviser recommended that he either drop out of medical school or take a reduced academic load to finish. Abrams continued with a regular academic load, and his grades improved to an average in his first year of medical school. By his second year, Abrams seldom attended lectures and instead studied text archives and lecture notes extensively, resulting in academic excellence. He graduated with an M.D. from Ayafa Medical University in Year 11.

After graduating, Abrams served one year as a surgical intern and three years as a molecular biology resident. He completed the final year as chief resident in Year 15. Abrams then spent one year as a senior registrar in neurosurgery at the Consortium State Hospital on Ord Vaxal.


Career and Research

Raging Banthas

After saving his clan from certain death but being punished accordingly for breaching the Jawa way of non-violence, Greyson Abrams was banished and sentenced to make his way to civilization. He took his only worldly possessions, along with meager credits, and walked out into the desert, not knowing what to expect.

Eventually, Abrams made his way to Mos Eisley, where he spent what credits he had bartering and drinking in the local cantina. Lost and desperately seeking an idea for a new life, his childhood dream of building starships came to him.

After contacting Galactic Rescue Ops and arranging for transport off of Tatooine, he drifted through the galaxy before finding a particular company named Nova Demons in Galactic Year 13. While they accepted him into their organization, they shortly after merged with one of their brother companies named Raging Banthas. The company provided vehicles, items, and mining equipment to the galaxy, loosely tied with the Dark Star Hellions swoop and the mercenary gang. After the merger, Abrams started as a long-hyper hauler, transporting cargo and raw materials.

After several months of getting to know his co-workers and being helpful wherever possible, Abrams was promoted into an advisory and lower administrative role, though it did not have an official title. Abrams had his hands in construction, sales, logistics, and trade. He was often seen negotiating transactions with clients and expanding the company's horizons. Although thoughts of his home and clan remained with him, he was happy to be doing what he felt he was born to do.


Trade Federation

Chief Flight Sgt Abrams

When Raging Banthas shut down in Year 14, Abrams searched extensively on the Holonet for another company that was hiring sentients. Eventually, he stumbled upon the Trade Federation, and on Day 300 of Year 14, he was accepted as a Cadet. Tired of administrative roles, he applied for entry into the Ministry of Defense, becoming the first Jawa to do so. He spent countless hours studying and researching before successfully completing the Academy exam, and was immediately accepted into the Ministry of Defense as an E-2. With the goal of eventually becoming the Minister of Defense for the Trade Federation, Abrams strived to be the best soldier he could be, all while remembering the events that led him to where he was.

During his time with the Trade Federation, Abrams transported ships across the galaxy, flew sorties against enemy combatants, and participated in large-scale sector scanning for new, undiscovered worlds. In the beginning of Year 15, he received an anonymous message offering him an opportunity to conduct espionage against the Trade Federation. Although content with his current position, he found the structured life of an officer monotonous and was tempted by the offer.

Around mid-Year 15, suspicions arose that Abrams was engaging in illicit activities with the Trade Federation. Within hours of the discovery, Abrams handed in his termination notice, returned his company-provided ships, and fled Trade Federation territory to avoid capture. He officially joined the group that had contracted him for espionage, the Zann Consortium.


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

Kurran, Drakko, and the Phage Group

Initially drawn to the field of molecular biology by the work of Vee Null, Abrams soon became part of a distributed group of researchers studying the nature of genetic mutations, using bacteriophages - viruses that infect bacteria - as a means to this end. Suk Kurran and Abrams were among the leaders of this new "Phage Group," a movement of geneticists studying microbial genetics through experiments like AV0750.

The Phage Group proved to be a crucial setting for Abrams to develop as a scientist, as its members believed they were on the path to uncovering the physical nature of the gene. In Year 14, he attended a conference in Coruscant hosted by the Trade Federation on the Great Animosity Plague, a conventional view at the time which believed the Plague to be proteins that could replicate themselves. Despite the prevailing view that DNA was merely a "stupid tetranucleotide" playing a structural role to support proteins, Abrams was aware of the Semper-Luz experiments, which suggested that the Plague could be used to deliver foreign genetic material at will.

Using radioactive phosphate as a tracer to determine which molecular components of the Plague particles could infect the target DNA during viral infection, the experiments were intended to determine whether protein or DNA was the genetic material. However, upon consultation with House Arkoh, the results were deemed inconclusive and unable to accurately identify the newly labeled molecules as DNA. Nevertheless, Abrams accompanied Vee Null to a meeting on Naboo where he saw Xucphra present their x-ray diffraction data for DNA, leading him to conclude that DNA had a definite molecular structure that could be elucidated.

In Year 17, Con Semper and Paul Luz published their model of the amino acid alpha helix, a result that grew out of the original work for AV0750, which would later become known as AV0790 and used in the Semper Procedure.


Theory of Consciousness

In his technical works, Abrams presents his theories on neural evolution, topobiology, and the remembered present. His first book, published in Year 16, titled "The Adaptive Brain," develops his theory of neural evolution, which explores the concept of plasticity in the neural network in response to environmental factors. His second book, published in Year 17, titled "The Neurodevelopmental Journey," proposes a theory of how the original neuronal network of a newborn's brain is established during embryo development. "A Conscious Universe," published in Year 18, contains an extended exposition of his theory of consciousness.

Abrams' biological theory of consciousness draws on his studies of the immune system, and he explicitly grounds his approach within natural selection. He rejects dualism and also dismisses computational models of consciousness and intelligence as adequate explanations, instead focusing on the morphology of the brain to explain consciousness. He argues that a newborn human baby's brain comprises a massive population of neurons, and only those cells and networks best adapted to their ultimate purpose will be selected as they organize into neuronal groups. He emphasizes the importance of the excess capacity of neurons in the young brain, as neurons are the only cells in the body that cannot be renewed.


Zann Consortium

Year 15

Terrorists in Coruscant

Upon officially joining Zann Consortium, Abrams resumed his previous work hauling ships, materials, and industrialized goods. Due to his previous experience infiltrating the Trade Federation, he was quickly promoted to the rank of Defiler and awarded his red armor and gear in a private ceremony.

As a natural organizer, Abrams was tasked with handling the takeover and assimilation of The Hexagonal Ring, which was in disarray following the assassination of Gamba Jaboli. Under Abrams' leadership, the company resumed regular activity within three standard galactic days.

Zann Consortium also acquired ninety-five AT-STs and over a thousand other vehicles from a Kuat Systems Engineering storage facility during a raid. Most of the vehicles were protected by Imperial shields and facilities, but the Galactic Empire chose to recycle their buildings with the vehicles still inside, destroying any possibility of recovery.

On Day 177, Andy "Vex" Longshot, who had recruited Abrams to Zann Consortium, was executed for his role in the incident that led to Abrams' retirement and departure from the Trade Federation. Abrams hacked and broadcasted a news report detailing the event on Day 275 to the Galactic News System. [1]


Year 16

Taxing the Rebels

In Year 16, a Zann Consortium Defiler posing as an Army 2nd Lt. was able to successfully raid a rebel armory on Day 232. The raid resulted in the liberation of numerous rebel trooper helmets, uniforms, and E-11b trooper rifles from the supply depot. The Zann agent managed to enter and leave without being detected by security personnel or surveillance droids. Ximaro Jix later explained to New Republic officials that the operation was a form of taxation on the rebellion for attempting to undermine the terrorist network's activities around the galaxy.

However, on Day 240, a New Republic Intelligence agent named Thrae Claddlyl attempted to lure Ximaro Jix into a trap to assassinate the Zann Consortium leader. Claddlyl was ultimately subdued by a Zann Consortium security team and returned to the New Republic.

Following the attempted assassination, on Day 244, Kominiic Abrams released a GNS post highlighting the events surrounding the failed assassination and the successful supply depot raid. [2]


The Nightshade Institute

The Nightshade Institute

Abrams assumed the position of Director and President of the Nightshade Institute for Biological Studies (NIBS) in late Year 16, where he served for three years. During his tenure, he spearheaded the development of the institute's mission statement to further research molecular biology and genetics to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, neurological diseases, and other sources of suffering throughout the galaxy. With Abrams' leadership, NIBS significantly expanded both its research programs and its science education initiatives. He is recognized for his contribution in "revolutionizing a small establishment into a top education and research institution. His introduction of a cancer research program led to significant progress in understanding the genetic basis of cancer."

In early Year 19, criticisms of his viewpoints on genetic factors linked to intelligence led to Abrams' suspension, and he resigned a week later. In a statement, Abrams cited his age and unanticipated circumstances as reasons for his resignation.

Year 17

Breathing Apparatus

Triumvirate Coalition's Fallen King

On Day 17 of Year 17, a report circulated across the galaxy that the government of the Triumvirate Coalition suffered an attack, in which former Consul and King of Triumvirate, Rick Fias, along with Zann Consortium's second-in-command, Abrams, raided the government and stole over eleven billion credits from the bank vaults.[3] The raid also involved Defilers commanded by Abrams, who changed the ownership paperwork of various cities, ships, facilities, raw materials, and weapons in the Triumvirate territory. In addition to this, Abrams and Fias convinced up to five thousand of the government’s primary workforce along with troops to defect against their government, corrupting the local populace. Ximaro Jix, the Zann Consortium leader, was also present in the territory to assist with the operation.

The attack took place just days after former Triumvirate Consul Dero Racto had an argument with Ximaro over a neutral aggression pact that Zann Consortium was attempting to establish with Triumvirate to end Zann's continuous attacks on the Coalition. However, the details of the feud between the Consul and former Crime Lord remain unknown. During the raid, Fias identified himself as a Defiler, a fact that Ximaro later confirmed through multiple transmissions. Despite the significant physical presence of Zann agents during the assault, no innocent civilians or Triumvirate troops were harmed, and Rick Fias ensured that all citizens found would be taken into custody by Defilers and given fair treatment. Triumvirate Forces attempted to protect their holds while Zann cleared various ships of hostiles in the state's space, which was observed by hundreds of witnesses.


Get Jawa

On Day 140, Kominiic Abrams was attacked by three enemy sleeper agents, who attempted to capture him. The attack resulted in the immediate death of Kyoto Onren, who was taken down by Abrams himself, while the other two assassins, Ayala Adia and Jax Xanbot, managed to flee the scene but were later caught and killed by additional Zann Consortium forces, including members of their special security force and Insurgency Cell 3. No organization claimed responsibility for the attack.

As a result of the attack, Abrams was left with severe injuries that impaired his breathing. He now requires a modified heavy battle armor suit to tend to his ongoing medical issues. Although he can survive without the suit and can wear a breathing mask instead, Abrams finds it simpler to wear the armor at all times. In the future, Abrams hopes that through viral modification of the Metamorphosis Plague, natural organ regeneration can become possible.


Year 19

The White Bear Institute

The White Bear Institute
Whitebear.png

Abrams was invited to aid in the establishment of a self-governed research institute aimed at biomedical research after the Zann Consortium made a charitable contribution. A unique structure of an independent research institute consisting of "members" was created with close ties to the Department of Biology at Ayafa Medical University. The White Bear Institute for Biomedical Research (WIBR) was launched with funding of 35 million credits to construct and equip a new building adjacent to Ayafa Medical University, with an additional guaranteed monthly income of 5 million credits and a significant endowment. Founding members, including Ximaro Jix, Vee Null, Hondo Walker, and Zane Apex, represented a range of disciplines from immunology, genetics, biotechnology, oncology, and vivisection to the study of animal species such as Mynocks, Banthas, and sentient volunteers, eager to advance medical knowledge.

Under Abrams' leadership, the groundwork was laid for future studies, including weapons, engine, metallurgy, and electronics development, research, and testing. WIBR's medical laboratories were dedicated to two primary research areas: understanding the mammalian immune system and creating viral vectors to make the immune system more effective in resisting cancer. The team's focus was on the diverse actions of the NF-κB transcription factor, which activates up to 1000 genes in response to different stimuli and plays different roles in various cells.

The team also explored the functions of microRNAs and their control over gene expression. Abrams' team with Biotech discovered microRNA-146a (miR-146a), a small RNA molecule that regulates protein production, and developed a strain of miR146a(-) Mynocks to study the effects of chronic inflammation on the activity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The team's findings suggested that microRNA-146a protects HSCs during chronic inflammation and its lack may contribute to blood cancers and bone marrow failure.


Personal Life

Marriage and Family

Abrams currently resides on the planet Ord Vaxal along with his wife, Cyia`vet Avita, whom he met at the annual Jawa Swap Meet in Year 18 and married shortly after.

As his success grew in the galaxy, Abrams brought his entire clan from Tatooine aboard his flagship, the BTN Starcrawler. They continue to live and work aboard the ship, with their Sandcrawlers serving as their permanent homes.

In Year 20, Abrams, his wife Cyia`vet, and a BD-3000 droid traveled to the B'omarr Order temple on Tatooine with a group of Defilers and Hondo Walker for their regular training pilgrimage. During a secret medical procedure that only CCyia`vet and the droid attended, a brain swapping procedure was performed, allowing Cyiavet to transfer her consciousness into the droid body. The procedure was a success, and the organic body was discarded. As a result, Abrams is now almost always seen accompanied by his wife, who serves as his loyal protocol and translation droid, personal assistant, and companion.


Spirituality

In an interview, Abrams shared his perspective on spirituality, defining it as "a feeling that connects you to the universe in a way that may defy simple vocabulary." He believed that science and spirituality could coexist and complement each other, with spiritual experiences being a form of emotional connection to scientific discoveries. However, Abrams has also expressed controversial views and beliefs, particularly in his tendency towards fascist ideologies. In a speech, he praised the efficiency and order that fascism could bring, while condemning what he perceived as the chaos and disorder of democracy. These views have earned him a reputation as a villain in the galaxy, and his ideologies have often clashed with those of the more progressive and liberal factions.


Conflicts with Racism

In an undated interview, Abrams shared his experiences as a non-human and prominent scientist in the galaxy. He recalled an interview he gave about a plasma burst from the Coruscant sun, where he was one of the few non-human experts consulted for his expertise in the field. It was a moment that made him realize the prevalence of the stereotype that non-humans are somehow less intelligent, and he made it his mission to challenge this stereotype by being visible and representing non-human scientists in mainstream media.

At a conference at the Galactic Academy of Sciences in Year 13, Abrams was asked about the possibility of genetic differences hindering the success of non-human scientists. He responded by pointing out that his own path to becoming a scientist was full of resistance and obstacles due to societal prejudices. Before discussing genetic differences, he argued, the social barriers and lack of equal opportunities for all species needed to be dismantled.

In a Consortium State News interview in Year 16, Abrams reiterated the importance of removing social barriers and promoting equal opportunities in science. He stated that he no longer speaks publicly about race, as he believes that focusing on his alien identity detracts from the message and importance of his scientific work. Since Year 12, he has declined any interview that focuses on his alien identity as the premise, as he believes it undermines the true purpose of his work as a scientist.


Research & Development

Abrams is a vocal proponent of expanding research and development operations throughout the galaxy. He firmly believes that "the most powerful concept on the dreams of a galaxy is currently underfunded to do what it needs to be doing." Abrams argues that the general public overestimates the amount of revenue allocated to research, often mistaking it for a large portion of the budget. At a Year 17 address, he clarified the proportion of tax revenue spent on R&D, stating that it is only half a unit. He challenged the audience, asking, "How much do you think we're spending? Five units, ten units on a credit...?" before revealing that the actual amount is a mere half a unit.

In a Year 18 public address, Abrams advocated for increasing the budget for R&D. He argued that with just one unit on a credit, twice the current budget, the galaxy could be transformed from a "sullen, dispirited government, weary of economic struggle" to one that has "reclaimed its rightful birthright to dream of tomorrow." Abrams firmly believes that investing in research and development is the key to unlocking the galaxy's potential and advancing the scientific knowledge and technological capabilities of sentient species.


Controversies

Eugenics

In Year 17, Abrams expressed his support for eugenics during an interview, suggesting that through a better understanding of galactic genomes, a unified new race could be created, taking the positive traits from all species. However, he believed that such race advancement was not yet feasible, but hoped that someday the galaxy could overcome its current divisions.

Despite his beliefs in genetic engineering, Abrams held strong prejudices against the Jawa race, which he considered to be 'impure' and in need of purification. This belief has led to controversy and direct or indirect violence against the Jawa community, with publicized cases such as the murder of individuals such as Uli-ah Gafsa and Grisu Moratom.

In public lectures and interviews, Abrams has argued that stupidity is a disease and that the "really stupid" bottom 10% of people should be cured through genetic screening and engineering. Such statements have sparked debates and protests among different groups and individuals in the galaxy.
