Siejo Kutol, a proud male Nautolan, was once one of the most prominent members of his species in the galaxy. Born and raised by merchant parents on Glee Anselm, Siejo was able to speak both Nautila and Anselmi, as well as Galactic Basic fluently. When he left his homeworld, he only wished to find his place in the universe. Siejo was known as a calm Humanoid and had a sharp eye for business and trading. He excelled at logistics and construction work. Siejo was the long-time Chief Magistrate of the Corporate Alliance (CA) as well as Director of the Haven Recycling Corporation. He held these positions for many years until his ascension as leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS). He was also the Overlord of the Nautolan Society.

Siejo had large black eyes and dark brown/green skin. He usually was seen wearing his leather pilot jacket and tight-fitting green pants or the traditional Society Overlord garb. His favorite beverage was a freshly-brewed Sallichean Tea. While it has no stimulating effect on Humans, Sallichean Tea has a significant effect on the Nautolan body, creating an "ecstasy" feeling that can't be beat by other normal beverages.

Later in life, Siejo encountered much hardship due to his dedication to the cause. He had a hard time balancing his busy career and his family. After pushing his family away for many years, in pursuit of more and more profit, Siejo faced the loss of his wife after she was infected by a terrible virus. After that incident was resolved, he realized the errors of his ways and retired from public life in pursuit of a more pure goal: Happiness.

Siejo was last seen on Year 14 Day 325. He was caught in an explosion on a trading station in the Cularin System during an attack of rebel forces. It was unknown if he survived.

Biography

Early Years

An Early Picture of Siejo Kutol

Siejo Kutol, the son of the great Nautolan Sieve Britol, was born on the aquatic world of Glee Anselm. His father owned a shop called "The Pit" in the capital city of Glee Anselm. Sievi's shop, which was on dry land, sold rare artifacts from the sea below. It was easy for a Nautolan to acquire these items, which were common sights on the sea floor but — to the dry land city dwellers — the items were strange and mystifying. Sievi himself was a bit of a mystery. While he was a very loving father, his true nature was lost at those moments of silence at the dining table with the family or the countless nights alone in his den.

Siejo was born on Year -14 Day 129. It was a cold murky morning in the underwater Nautolan capital. His father was away at work, but his mother was there, safeguarding her eggs from predators. Siejo was the first to break through the shell, crying out in surprise when he finally saw the first light of life. None of the other eggs hatched that day, but a few days later, other eggs hatched, releasing Siejo's siblings into the world.

Young Kutol selling Goods at the Pit

During his childhood, Siejo loved to wander the sea floor, playing with the natural sea life, and finding things for his father to sell in his shop. He was a very strong pupil in school, always trying to out do all of his fellow schoolmates. Siejo's younger brother, Siety Kutol, often followed behind him on his explorations of the sea floor. While they were young, Siejo and his brother got in and out of tons of trouble. Siety looked up to his older brother and, in turn, Siejo admired his brother's courage, always willing to swim into the deepest, darkest caves, just to see what he could find. Siety was often jealous of his brother and would play tricks to scare him, and in their later years, often tried to outdo him. The two brothers fought for their father's love, entering the monthly undersea wrestling competitions to impress him. The two often would duel in these matches in which Siety's strength outdid his older brother's, and he would often win.

When he reached adolescence, Siejo's father asked him to work in his shop part-time. While Siejo manned the sales desk, his brother was in charge of carrying out the process of finding new goods to sell and deliver them to the shop on a timely basis. While working in his father's shop, Siejo developed a keen eye for business. It was Siejo's input that helped his father expand his business, opening another shop on the opposite side of town. Sievi decided that since it was Siejo's idea, he should be held responsible for how the new shop did. This second shop, called "The Den," did quite well. For this, Sievi put Siejo in charge of the shop. This proved to be costly.

While working one cloudy afternoon, Siejo was dusting the shelves of "The Den" when the little bell on the front door rang. Siejo turned to see an attractive young Nautolan female walk through the door. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Siejo stumbled over himself trying to greet her. He could feel his pulse all over his body. Now, it is strange for a Nautolan to enter this sort of shop, but Siejo didn't think of this. All he could think of was getting her name. He walked over to her, tossing his tendrils back, and cleared his throat. The young female turned, looked at him and smiled. He introduced himself and asked if he could help her find anything. The female, whose name was Drukie Mcjoe, quickly replied that she actually was just stopping by to meet him. Her mother owned the shop next door and she worked there from time to time. She told Siejo that she saw him the other day and was curious. Siejo liked Drukie and they quickly became good friends. In fact, over the next couple months, Siejo grew to care for Drukie and he informed his father that he planned to marry her one day. While his father was all for the idea of his son becoming a man and moving out on his own, Siety hated this idea and resented his brother for choosing to be with a girl instead of spending time with him.

One cold, rainy morning, not to long after his twenty-first year celebration, Siejo was at work, counting the change in the credit drawer, when the store was filled with the cool breeze from the outside as a tall Nautolan entered the shop. Siejo didn't pay much attention to him, because this species (his species) didn't normally purchase things in this shop. The Nautolan casually examined the stock, and then suddenly stopped. He reached to a shelf and pulled out a bright yellow crystal. The Nautolan, crystal in hand, walked up to the register. He asked Siejo kindly if he had found this crystal. Siejo, confused about what mattered so much about this crystal, said yes. Then the Nautolan asked where Siejo found this crystal. Siejo explained the location where he, well, his brother, had found the crystal in a cave on the sea floor. The Nautolan thanked him, bought the crystal, and departed. Siejo was trying to shake off the strange feelings he was having about that last sale when Drukie burst through the door. She was panting for breath. Siejo, feeling her anxiety deep in his tendrils, ran over to her and asked her what was wrong. She explained to him that there were some strange people threatening her mother and she needed help. Siejo quickly locked up shop and ran next door. He didn't notice his father walking up the street toward the shop, but his father noticed him.

What Siejo didn't know was that Drukie's mother didn't just sell exotic clothing, this was a front, she also sold unlicensed weapons to rebels. The rebels were trying to liberate the local population from the grip of the XXX Miners who held control over Glee Anselm. The local security forces had heard rumors of such a shop and followed their noses to the establishment owned by Drukie's mother. The punishment for treason is death in their culture and that is exactly what the security forces had in mind. The two teenage Nautolans ran through the doorway just as the security force executed Drukie's mother.

Siejo's first love, Drukie

Drukie screamed. The security forces turned and pointed their guns, steam still flowing from the nozzles, at the pair. They quickly instructed the teens to leave the area at once. Just then, Sievi entered the picture. Sieve was a very just man, but was very angry that his son had apparently closed shop to play with girls. He meant to lecture him on responsibility when he got him back into the shop, but he never got the opportunity. The security forces decided quickly that Sievi must be some sort of rebel since it appeared to them that he came running when the shop owner was executed. They charged Sievi with treason and arrested him. Siejo fought for his father, but was hit over the head with a blunt object and thrown aside as they escorted his father to the local prison. When he regained consciousness, he was laying on the floor. His head was still groggy, and he needed Drukie's help to get up. The couple ran to the oceanfront and dived down into the sea. When they reached Siejo's house, Siejo quickly explained to his family the day's occurrence and his father's fate.

The local government seized "The Pit" and "The Den," stating that they were funding the rebel cause. Siety, who had been watching over the other shop at the time of its seizure, was also arrested and sent to a detention center for minors. Siejo was able to visit his father only once. He snuck in some utensils that he wanted to give his father to escape. He was extremely nervous, and was almost caught when the guard went to search him, but the guard changed his mind when Sievi intervened, telling the guard to just let his son see his father for the last time. Thus, they stood on opposite sides of the glass, talking to each other. Siejo knew that this might be the last time he saw his father, and explained, in their native tongue so the guard (hopefully) would not understand, to his dad what had happened with the shops and how he wanted to rescue him from this injustice. There was a moment of silence that felt like eternity. It came to a total surprise when Sievi told his son that the accusations were true. Siejo couldn't believe it. Sievi gave his son specific instructions to leave Glee Anselm and make a name for himself; for his family. He explained how he had a plan to make it out of the prison, and, hopefully, would see him again if he followed his instructions. He then also informed Siejo of his brother's fate. He was overwhelmed with anger. As it turned out, unlike his father, Siety was totally innocent and did not deserve to be put into a juvenile facility. Sievi told his son to settle down, and that it was only a temporary thing. Siety would be fine. Siejo agreed to follow his father's orders, told his father he loved him and left.

When Siejo reached the street in front of the jail, he didn't know what to think. His father was in the rebellion. What if his father was unsuccessful in his attempt to free himself? When he reached the other side of the street, some creature bumped into him. He began to apologize for walking with his head down when he looked up. It was the strange Nautolan who bought the crystal from the shop earlier that day. The Nautolan introduced himself as Vix and informed Siejo that he knew of the situation. He was working with the rebellion and has been asked to help his father escape. Vix told Siejo he was going to help his father escape that night. Siejo was overjoyed and thanked Vix. Vix bowed and walked on. When Vix bowed, Siejo noticed a shiny metal hilt attached to Vix's hip. Siejo ran home, greeted Drukie, and went about his business for the day. That night, Siejo couldn't sleep, so he sat up, playing out the escape plan in his head all night long, and, in the morning, he heard the wonderful news of his father's escape.

Entering the Work Force

Siejo knew that he needed to leave his home planet. He told Drukie to stay with his family in the sea. He promised her that he would one day return for her and then they would be wed. While wandering the streets of one of the larger cities on Glee Anselm looking for a ride off-world, he was contacted by Jeeva Ob, a representative of a trade conglomerate known as the Corporate Alliance (CA). Siejo applied for membership and was approved. A few days later, Siejo went to Pieralos to be picked up. Drukie went with him. On cue, a Human male, Riley Moonrigger, flew down in a fleet of Cloakships. Riley, a very skilled pilot, beckoned Siejo into one of the ships. Siejo embraced his love, told her he loved her, and they separated. She wished him luck, and he jumped into the cockpit of one of the Cloaks. Riley quickly explained the basic controls to him. After some trial and error, Siejo got the ship flying and they ascended off the planet, leaving Drukie to watch them go. Siejo and Riley made his way to the Alliance headquarters in the Amorris system. Once there, he was assigned as a Logistics worker and began his work. Looking to expand his knowledge and skill as a pilot, Siejo studied in his time off to become a better tool for his employer.

Logistics Director Riley Moonrigger

Siejo's first real mission was to drop off a vessel in the Varn system. He was very excited to be off on his own. He transferred from the Cloakship, into a beautiful YT-2000, The Narner II. Siejo had never seen such a ship, and took a short tour to examine its beauty. While there, he picked up the Reservist Bellos Selexin from the surface of Varno. With Bellos aboard, Siejo went on his second mission, a flight to the Kiffex system to pick up Cadet Beol Habo. After Beol had been found and joined Siejo and Bellos on the Narner II, Siejo made the jump to hyperspace, toward Amorris, were he would join his Corporate Alliance brethren.

When the pair arrived on Amorris, the rest of the Corporate Alliance was busy gathering supplies for a galaxy-wide construction operation. While they waited for the supplies to reach Amorris, Siejo taught Beol how to pilot a ship. They worked together and became friends. Together they visited the warm beach world of Loszog. After Siejo was sure of Beol's skills, he left him to do his own missions. He was very nervous, watching Beol's every move to make sure he didn't drive them into the local sun. Beol was a natural, and the training went well. When the supplies arrived in the Amorris system, Siejo rushed himself, Beol and Riley to pick them up and bring them to the Corporate Alliance homeworld.

After arriving in Amorris with the supplies, Siejo received a message from the management announcing that he was promoted to Logistics Lieutenant. This news overjoyed Siejo almost as much as his next mission, which included a ship transfer and a return visit to his homeworld, Glee Anselm. Siejo hoped to return and maybe find some answers to his past.

After a quick ship transfer, Siejo and his construction buddies arrived on Glee Anselm in the City of Pieralos. Siejo selected the location of the new Commerce Center that the CA was planning to build and sent his workers to start work on the project. While the workers worked on the project, Siejo journeyed to the underwater capital city of the Nautolans, Sanktuarium. This is where his childhood home was, and still is, located. As Siejo approached the house, his mother, Kutani, saw him. She flew out of the front door and embraced him in a tight hug. She told him how worried she was. Siejo explained how he was fine and started to tell her what he was up to when he spotted Drukie out of the corner of his eye. She was minding her own business, cleaning inside the hut. Siejo swam quickly through the front door and embraced his love. She jumped with surprise.

After the greetings were handed out, the family sat at the table. Kutani explained to her son how the revolution had been put on hold because of the death of the regional governor. Kutani had heard nothing of Siejo's father. Siejo then asked about his brother, for no one had mentioned him. It broke his mother's heart to have to explain to Siejo that his younger brother was mixed up with the wrong crowd. She told him that after being released from the juvenile facility, he blamed himself for the exile of his father and brother. The last time she heard from him, he was in Anselm Prime, the land capital city of Glee Anselm. Siejo told her he would take care of it. He made arrangements for Kutani to manage the Commerce Center that was being built in Pieralos and also made arrangements with Drukie for their marriage to happen sometime in the near future. Siejo kissed his love and left for Anselm Prime.

Siety, stubborn as usual, had entered the deathsticks business and, although he didn't use them, he was in deep with the local dealer. Siety had many friends, and although he worked hard, he liked to party harder, and while he partied the rules were sometimes forgotten. Siejo tried along time ago to explain to his brother the dangers in this, but Siety learned little from his older brother. Siety had partied it up, and during those parties, "lost" many deathsticks.

When Siejo found his brother, he was in his suppliers "office." It was behind a large dumpster of the main resident hall. He was walking down the main streets when he heard a struggle in a nearby alley. Siejo peaked around a crate located midway down the ally. There were two figures here: his brother and a large creature. The creature, a powerful Anselmi underboss, was holding Siety by his collar. Siety was a large Nautolan, but this Anselmi was huge. The creature was threatening Siety, threatening his family. Siejo could see the look of total defeat in his brother's eyes. Siejo crept up and approached the scene. The underboss noticed him first, quickly dropping Siety and turning to face him. Siejo drew his small blade that he kept in a sheath in his sleeve. The underboss was unarmed and asked Siejo what he wanted. With his tendrils screaming out in danger, Siejo told the creature that he wanted his brother's freedom. Freedom from this life, and Siejo, himself, would pay his debt. Up to this point, Siety had not recognized his brother, and when he heard this, he was overcome with emotion. It turned out that Siety owed this Anselmi 50,000 credits. Siejo paid the underboss. The underboss thanked him for his business and disappeared into the shadows.

Siety Kutol

Siety fell to his knees in front of his brother. He cried how unworthy he was of such a gift. Siejo lifted his brother to his feet and told him how he loved him and would offer his life for his brother's safety, let alone 50,000 credits. they then offered his brother a business proposition. He would be the foreman for his construction group in the Corporate Alliance. He would travel the galaxy with his brother, working side by side. Siety agreed and went with his brother. Together they boarded the Ussuri, and went back to Pieralos to join the building crew. After construction of the shop "Nautolan Goodies" was completed, the crew jumped back aboard the Ussuri and flew back to Amorris.

As soon as Siejo returned to Amorris' orbit, the Commerce Guild reclaimed the Ussuri. Siejo moved aboard a Y-Wing Longprobe, the CADF Ghost 1-3, and flew it to the Selaggis system. Once there, Siejo flew security flights around the system, keeping a keen eye out for Imperial forces. Siety was transferred to another vessel and put under the direct command of Hilem Ordo. He was going to be in the thick of it on the world below, building the city.

While in orbit around the planet Gallyrn, Siejo entered the trading market. Siejo had a great eye for deals and quickly made fair amounts of credits. Using the Holonet, he connected to the market and began trading. He also acquired a few starships. Siejo's first ship was a Cloakshape/H Fighter that he named the Hornet. He soon sold it and used the profit to buy other goods. Siejo's favorite ship design was the Y-TIE. This ship's curious design inspired Siejo in some strange way. He started to build a fleet of them, acquiring first the one he named the Broken Butterfly, and then the other he named Cobalt. Each ship had a custom paint-job designed by Siejo himself. Siejo grew into a good, trustworthy trader and made many friends.

The Thief

Adoy Baba

Then one day, everything changed. Siejo contacted a Human trader named Freedon Mathias about purchasing a N-1 Starfighter. Siejo, who was in it for a deal, was excited, especially since the starship was going for a mere 100,000 credits. Siejo gave his credcard with the money on it to Freedon, but then it happened. Freedon decided that he would keep the money and the ship. Siejo was pissed. Something changed inside Siejo that night. He could not sleep. His innocence was gone, and all he wanted was revenge. Thus, while Freedon walked away smiling, Siejo worked with his contacts and sent out every type of person after Freedon. Siejo's good friend, Adoy Baba followed Freedon and he wandered around on Tatooine. At the right moment, some bounty hunters came flying in. Freedon jumped into the N-1 and streaked into the sky, but what he didn't know was that Siejo had arranged for company when he got there. As soon as Freedon exited the atmosphere of the planet, he knew it was over. SoroSuub Corporation fighters were coming at him at attack speed. Freedon pulled up on the controls then into a barrel roll, barley missing the incoming blaster fire from the ships. Freedon turned right and started to head out of Tatooine's gravity field, when his ship was stuck by a blaster bolt, destroying his hyperdrive. Corvis Orion, a SoroSuub commander, flew his ship in close and blew off one of the N-1's engine. Sparks flew everywhere, but the ship had been safely disabled. Orion flew in above the N-1 and docked with it. Then he stormed the N-1 and captured Freedon. Siejo was informed the next day of the mission's success. The thief was captured and would now stand trial. The evidence was clear, and Siejo was sure that, with the right influence, Freedon would be executed for his crimes. Siejo was pleased.

Freedon Mathias

Freedon was taken to a local prison owned by the SoroSuub Corporation (which governed the Tatoo system) to stand trial. Pablo Dion, a fledgling banker, decided to take up Freedon's defense pro-bono. Pablo, a Human, arranged for a meeting with the thief, but when he arrived, he was captured by Orion and thrown into prison with his client. Word traveled around the galaxy of this strange story. Pablo Dion was an employee of ComBank, a financial institution closely affiliated with the Galactic Empire and a known enemy of the SoroSuub government. SoroSuub released a press statement, explaining the Pablo was detained based on that affiliation and that they suspected Pablo was attempting to break his client out of custody.

The trial of Freedon Mathias was held via Holonet, in a courtroom in the SoroSuub capital. Freedon complained aggressively about the courtroom procedures, resulting in additional charges being brought against him, including Contempt of Court and Libel. Pablo pleaded with the SoroSuub leadership, begging for his life, and even resigned from ComBank to demonstrate his repentance.

As the trial progressed, Siejo was brought before the Tribunal to testify. After his remarks were made, Freedon was allowed to speak in his own defense, and irrationally pleaded for the death penalty. After months of delegation, the Tribunals were dismissed to decide Freedon Mathias' fate. When the Tribunals returned to the court, they ruled that Freedon should pay Siejo 50,000 credits, half of what he stole, and be placed on probation.

After the trial, SoroSuub acknowledged that Pablo Dion was no threat, and released him from custody. Siejo, on the other hand never received his retribution, and although he later forgave Freedon, he was still displeased that the petty thief got off so easy. Siejo learned his lesson and from then on was a much more cautious trader. Siejo and Pablo became good friends, exchanging holomessages every once in a while.

Trading and the Nautolan Society

Pixelor Xess

While lounging in the traders' holo-room, Siejo befriended a trader known as Lando Schultz. Lando, a Human, informed Siejo of a business plan he had, called Enterprise Corp. Siejo liked the idea and offered up his Y-TIEs for transport jobs. For this, Lando gave him a wonderful birthday present, the third and final Y-TIE, named Striker.

Soon after, Siejo joined a Nautolan brotherhood. The Nautolan Society was open to all Nautolans, and was exactly what he needed to further himself in his trading career. Siejo was introduced to the Brotherhood by Pixelor Xess, a very powerful Nautolan. Once he joined, Siejo used the support from his newfound group to help him buy his dream ship, an YT-1210. He named it The Deviant Wampa. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever think he would one day own such a ship.

On the return trip to Amorris, Siejo received a holo from his brother, Siety. There was a high-stakes card game going on down on the planet's surface at a local tavern and he wanted some company to watch him win. Siejo, aggravated by his brother's carelessness with credits, agreed to meet up with his brother when he arrived.

Siejo set down his new YT-1210 freighter in the landing zone next to the tavern known as "The Greasy Sprocket." His brother saw him leaving the ship and ran over to greet him. Siety was dirty, just coming off a hard day's work, but his brother embraced him when he greeted him. Siety was knocked off-guard when Siejo informed him that the starship he arrived in belonged to his brother. Siety said his congrats and the two entered the bar.

A long night of cards ensued. Siety was betting high with all the credits he had received recently from his work on the CA construction jobs. While the cards were being shuffled, Siety leaned over to his brother and asked if Siejo had heard about their dad. Siejo looked puzzled and explained that he had heard nothing. He asked his brother to explain what was up.

Siety went on to explain how the XXX Miners were using the Nautolan homeworld for resources and smashing the rights of all the beings that lived there. He stated that he heard that their father had returned, under a hidden identity in order to take command of the underground movement. Siejo was suprised by this news, as his father told him he wouldn't go back until it was safe.

The cards were dealt. Siety, who had been losing for a while now, felt like he finally had it. He leaned over to his brother, who was drinking his favorite drink at the bar, and asked to see the title for the nice ship out front. Siejo, who was feeling quite nice, handed it over. Siety brought up the deed and taunted the alien across the table with it. The alien, a Devaronian, had been winning most of the night. He felt pretty confident, so he pulled out a similar deed, which was for another YT-1210. The hand went on and Siety actually won, collecting a new ship and a bunch of spare credits. After the big hand, Siety handed his brother back the deed, as if nothing happened. After Siety lost all of his excess credits, the brothers walked outside. Siety acted like he had drank too many Sallichean Teas and walked up to the wrong ship. Siejo was just about to hit him over the head when he produced the deed to it and explained to his brother why he had needed his deed in the first place. After a brief laugh, the brothers decided to share the ship. They each boarded a YT freighter and went out into space.

After a few months of work, Siejo decided to take a small trip with his brother to check on his family. They flew to Glee Anslem and landed in the city they grew up in. While in Pieralos, Siejo purchased two droids: a SP-4 worker droid that he called Luigi, and an ASN-121 messenger droid named Vincent. The brothers then went from shop to shop, showing the owners an old holopicture of their father, with no luck. Then, it all changed. Siejo went into the Commerce Center he had helped open, "Nautolan Goodies," and approached the counter. The Nautolan employee had his back to him; his clothes were stained with oils used to clean the merchandise. Siejo cleared his throat, and began to ask the worker if he had seen his father and froze for a moment when the man turned. It was his father. His name-tag said, "Owen Sarden," quite a strange false ID for such a powerful man.

Extremely surprised, Siejo asked his father what he was doing here. Sievi, now known as Owen, replied, explaining that he was waiting for his son. He had everything in place with the militant forces, but word had leaked of his presence on the planet and it was all in danger. He had contacted the most powerful and influential member of the Nautolaan race, a trader named Pixelor Xess. He had agreed to allow Sievi to setup a base on the planet of Valakivir, the "new" Nautolan homeworld. Sievi asked his son to take him there so he could do what he could for their brothers and sisters in this time of oppression. The Nautolans embraced. What Siejo did not tell his father was that he and Pixelor had met previously, when Siejo joined the NS. They were good friends. Siejo was surprised by this plan, since it was news to him, but looked forward to working with the great Nautolan and his father on Valakivir.

While visiting his family on leave, Siejo also spent an extended time with Drukie. Time and separation had not spoiled their deep feelings for one another, and they spent many nights together alone in caves along the bottom of the ocean, exploring the sea floor, and one another. When it was time for Siejo to leave, he suggested to Drukie that she travel with his father and brother to Valakivir to see the wonders that were being built there. Drukie agreed, telling him with excitement how wonderful she thought the idea was.

Techno Union and Oseon

After a quick bite to eat, Siejo and his father met up with Siety and Drukie. They boarded the CAL Deviant Wampa and headed into hyperspace en-route to Valakivir. While in hyperspace, Drukie informed Siejo, his father, and brother that their world was changing. Siejo was going to be a father. Drukie was pregnant with her first child. The family was overjoyed and shared a round of drinks in celebration. Once they exited hyperspace in the Dolomar system, Siejo received an urgent personal message on his datapad from Riley Moonrigger. It explained how Riley had received word from the Trade Federation to reroute the CA goods to some of the other CIS subsidiaries, including some of its employees. Siejo sent a transmission stating his understanding and also sent a message to Jacob Jansen, the President of the Techno Union (TU), asking for a position in the organization. Siejo received an acceptance letter a few days later and, on Year 8 Day 54, Siejo became a Lieutenant in the Techno Union forces.

Nauto Prime, Valakivir

The YT-1210 came to rest in the center of Nauto Prime on Valakivir. The Nautolan family exited the ships, Siejo's private droids followed. They entered the Nauto Prime Center. While Sievi spoke to the attendant droid at the front desk, Siejo explained to his brother that he wanted him to stay here with his father and watch over him. Siejo also broke Siety the news that he had transferred out of the Corporate Alliance to the sister CIS organization, the Techno Union. Siejo explained the TU was a production company on the rise. This also meant the Siety was out of work. Siejo promised to send credits for them, to maintain them, until the situation changed. Siejo also put his brother in charge of finding a good spot to construct the new family homestead on Valakivir, since the XXX Miners made them flee. Siejo promised to bring the rest of the family to Valakivir as soon as the construction ended. Sievi came back, with the room key to the Kutol apartment. Siejo hugged his father. He then told his PS-4 droid, Luigi, to stay with his brother and father. With that, he said his goodbyes and entered the YT freighter, with his ASN-121 droid following suit. He then lifted off, leaving his father and brother planet bound. On his way back to Trade Federation space, Siejo learned that, on Day 31, Calista Marie Kutol was born in a deep cave at the bottom of a Valakivarian ocean. Drukie and Calista took a private flight back to Glee Anselm so that Siejo's mother could help her care for the new child. No large announcement was made, and the addition to the Kutol family was kept quiet.

Vice President Hilem Order

Siejo exited hyperspace in the Valrar system, home to the Techno Union. Siejo met with his old comrade, Hilem Ordo, now the Vice President of the TU. Siejo was promoted to the Lt. Commander of Logistics and began work immediately. Riley Moonrigger, Krayt Fel, and many other of his friends from the Corporate Alliance joined him later. One day after a long raw materials haul, Siejo entered the system, docked with the production space station Morgarr Yard, and ordered the workers to begin to unloading his ship. He made his way to the small cafeteria onboard. While he we enjoying his favorite beverage, he was tapped on the shoulder. Siejo turned, knife drawn, and looked into a face of an old friend, Pablo Dion. They embraced in a hug. Afterward, Pablo explained how he recently joined up with the TU as the new Sales Director. Siejo congratulated his friend and they enjoyed a nice drink together to celebrate.

Pablo Dion

After the meeting with Pablo, Siejo boarded the Gallofree TFL Transporter to begin his next mission, leaving his old CA ship Crashing Waves for the last time. Siejo walked up the stairs and into the cockpit. The air was stale, but familiar. After Siejo settled into the pilot seat, he noticed a holomessage on the main display monitor. "The Cockpit. Don't Touch Any Buttons!" Siejo smiled to himself, and reached out to press the button to remove the warning, obviously put up as a joke. The ANS-121 droid flew up the stairs at that exact moment. Vincent squeaked that he did not think the ship wanted Siejo to touch any of its buttons! Siejo laughed it off, telling Vince not to worry and he that knew what he was doing. After disarming the warning, Siejo went started up the freighter's systems. While the ship's engines were initializing, Siejo received a holomessage from President Jacob Jansen. The mission was called "Project Oseon" and included a large amount of raw materials to be collected and then flown into a remote asteroid field. He was to then land on an asteroid, two in fact, and begin the construction of cities to be found there. Siejo sent back a message of acknowledgement and awaited the crew for his journey.

After the ship was ready for flight, and the crew aboard, Siejo piloted the starship from destination to destination, gathering the supplies needed to begin construction. Once fully loaded, he journeyed to the Oseon system. When the ship came out of hyperspace, it was bombarded with asteroids. Vincent was noticeably upset, pleading for his master to turn around and tell his superiors that it was an impossible mission. The master explained to the droid that this ship could handle it and he wasn't worried. Just then, a rather large asteroid came a little to close to the hull. The ship rocked to the right, throwing the small droid up against the cockpit wall. Siejo picked up the microphone receiver and ordered the crew to man the turrets. With that, the freighter started blasting anything that got to close.

Oseon through the Viewport of Crashing Waves

With skill and a lot of luck, Kutol landed the ship on an asteroid close to the center of the field, by the local sun, which the small bodies were orbiting. After comparing his city design sheet that Jansen supplied him, Siejo picked out the correct city coordinated for the new warehouse and ordered the first build team to unload the ship and begin construction. He left Vincent with team one, to keep them on task, and get the little droid out of his tendrils. He then piloted the freighter back out into space, looking for asteroid number 2. After construction began on the warehouse of the second asteroid, Siejo left Oseon to retrieve more raw materials. After retrieving a few more stacks of raw materials, Siejo began his biggest mission yet, constructing a whole city, and to add difficulty, it wasn't just one city it was two. Thus Siejo began his long job of constructing two perfect cities on the giant rocks in the asteroid field. While working, Siejo was given the opportunity of moving around in the Confederacy of Independent Systems to the Trade Federation and The Order of Kampar to gain knowledge, and, more importantly, blueprints. After obtaining the blueprints, Siejo returned to the construction projects. While at work, blueprints in hand, leading the construction crew, Siejo received a holomessage regarding a change in leadership. President Jansen was transferring to the Trade Federation to take over the position on Duceroy. Krayt Fel was appointed to President of the Techno Union. Siejo, who had served under Fel when he was Chief Magistrate of the Corporate Alliance, was well aware of Krayt's abilities and was pleased at this announcement. After sending a congratulatory message to the newly elected president, Siejo returned to work.

Long Lost Brother

After the construction job was complete, Siejo gathered his crew, including his droid, and flew back to the Techno Union headquarters. He was to meet an old childhood friend, Nochbo Kitol, on Valrar. Nochbo, a Sanyassan Marauder, had visited Siejo's homeworld when Siejo had been just a young guppy. They had a good time together, even thought Nochbo had trouble understanding Basic, and stayed in contact through out the years. When Nochbo's homeworld of Sanyassa was in civil war, his parents sent him to stay with the Kutol family whom they had known through his father's business contacts. Siejo and his younger brother taught Nochbo many things, like how to swim and how to speak Basic fluently. After Nochbo learned of his parents' death, he adopted his best friends last name, Kutol, only varying it slightly, since he was, after all, not a Nautolan. Nochbo left Glee Anselm shortly thereafter, looking to get out and be his own person, and seek revenge. Siejo hadn't heard from him in a long time.

Out of the blue, Siejo had received a message from Nochbo a few weeks before. He was lost, in the middle of nowhere, with no credits. He told his friend that he was going to have to resort to stealing a credcard to get by soon. Siejo assured him everything was going to be okay, and arranged for his pickup. After Nochbo reached the Glythe Sector, Siejo arranged to have one of his YT-1210's bring him to Valrar. Once aboard, Nochbo found the small credcard and a datacard in the cockpit. In the datacard were instructions on how, if he wanted to, Nochbo could join up with the Techno Union to gain some credits and experience. Nochbo liked the idea and contacted Siejo's superiors about a position as a pilot. A good respectable job. Nochbo then dialed up his friend's datacard. Siejo, once he figured out who was paging him, answered. Nochbo had aged, growing more wrinkles on his heavily-wrinkled face. His hair was bright white, standing straight on edge from every angle, and he had a huge smile on his face.

Nochbo Kitol

They agreed to meet on Valrar in a secluded spot in one of the abandoned temples of an ancient civilization. Siejo landed his freighter in the Techno Union capital, Union City, and hiked to the location, leaving his droid behind to watch the ship and monitor the Holonet for news. Nochbo was late. Siejo checked his chrono. Nochbo was very late. Siejo called back to the transporter and asked his trusty droid if he had heard anything. Vincent, who had not been paying any attention to the datacard mail, let out a funny squeak of a sound. The droid, a little more distraught then usual, explained that it appears that the Deviant Wampa had gone off course into Hutt Space. The droid continued on, mentioning how rude it was of Nochbo to just blow off the meeting. Siejo broke communication with the droid and ran down the hillside to the hauler.

Siejo couldn't believe his ears when his commanding officer Riley Moonrigger explained the situation to him. Nochbo had been sent on a transport mission to Corellia to pick up a new recruit. This recruit, named Silas Haderach, had asked Nochbo to let him pilot the starship, to get a feel. Nochbo agreed and went to take a nap while Silas flew to Valrar. The Techno Union had no further intel, only that the ship was no longer in Trade Federation space. Siejo explained to Moonrigger that he had trackers built into the ship and that the YT freighter was in Hutt Space. Siejo asked permission for leave to go save his friend. Moonrigger warned Kutol to be careful and granted his wish of leave.

Siejo exited hyperspace only a short distance from his hijacked YT. Using his datapad, he set Nochbo as pilot and made sure that Siejo Kutol was on the crew list. Siejo removed his knife from its sheath, ordered Vincent to stay close, and docked with the YT. The dimmers were set on low. Siejo quietly snuck to the rear rooms of the ship. Once there, with his back to the ship hull, he opened door by door, quietly clearing the YT. Finally, after what seemed forever, he heard something. It sounded like a struggle. He quietly ran to the room with the sound and opened the door. A tall hooded figure, who Siejo assumed was Silas, stood over his fuzzy friend. Nochbo was tied up with a dirty sock in his mouth. The hooded figure, who hadn't noticed the company, reached over and picked up some sort of long weapon. It was dark in the room and Siejo's eyes had yet to adjust enough for him to identify the weapon. Slowly, he crept forward. Nochbo, who was down to his undergarments, noticed his presence, and, based on his eyes, couldn't have been more relieved. Silas noticed this as well and turned, swinging.

Silas Haderach

Siejo ducked under the first strike, but the second one caught him in the left side. He tumbled against the wall, dropping just in time to save his head from a hard blow. Silas was caught off guard by the Nautolan's quickness. Siejo, while on the ground, knocked the hooded figure's legs out from under him. Siejo was up in a flash, and when Silas got to his knees, was right behind him. He put his blade to the hooded figures throat, knocking down the hood revealing the green hair of the crazy creature, and ordered him to drop the weapon. Silas obliged, and then Vincent shocked him, rendering him unconscious and harmless. Siejo untied his friend, the embraced, then tied up the traitor.

Nochbo after being Freed

After Nochbo settled into the cockpit, Siejo jumped aboard his hauler. The two made plans for a meeting in the future, and headed their separate ways. Nochbo flew back to Valrar to take a short leave and Siejo was recalled to Oseon to gather more raw materials for the Asteroid Building project. After dropping the raw materials in the Morgarr Yard, he was summoned to a briefing at the Techno Union headquarters in Union City. At the meeting, a side project in Oseon was unveiled. It involved construction of another production space station, titled the Colossus Station. After a brief discussion on the project, Director Moonrigger stood up to make an announcement.

Recognition and Promotion

Moonrigger's speech was recorded by Vincent, and saved for future reference. The speech went as follows: "In recognition of his extraordinary efforts working on Project Oseon, his dedication to the Techno Union and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and his efforts in recruitment and community-building, the leadership of the Techno Union have unanimously decreed that Lt. Commander Siejo Kutol shall be immediately promoted to the rank of Captain of Logistics, with all entailing benefits, privileges, and responsibilities. Congratulations, Captain Kutol. Your service is greatly appreciated."

The cabinet applauded as Siejo stood and received his new credentials to add to his uniform. Siejo thanked everyone, thanking the Techno Union for allowing him the opportunity to thrive in this organization. He thanked them for their time, stating that he was very busy and enjoy having a nice tight schedule for himself. The organization had provided him with enough "busy" work to keep anyone, especially someone like him busy and therefore happy. He is always one to do my duty, and was very thankful to be recognized for this. He came into this group a year ago and was immediately brought into the CIS family. He had learned everything he knew of this job from the people in this room and was eternally thankful for this promotion and would make all proud. He then announced a celebratory at his place as well. With that said, and party arrangements made, the meeting was closed and the TU leadership dispersed across the galaxy to continue the expansion.

On his way back to Oseon, Siejo was called into a Nautolan Society conference. Although he wasn't there personally, his holo-projection filling his seat, Siejo was able to attend the meeting. The clan status of each member was established between the Civil clan, known as the Nautola, and the mysterious warrior clan, known as the Rak'Qua. Siejo, who identified more with politics, chose the Nautola clan, and was appointed Tecro, or clan leader. With his newfound promotion and leadership position, Siejo was looking at many more duties in the months to come, but this excited him because it enabled him to show how good he really could be. The last year was one of great growth, especially financially, for the young Nautolan, but things were about to change. All the optimism in the world couldn't derail the train that was heading his way.

Exemplary Service at What Cost

In the passing months, while Siejo was off building in Oseon, the Techno Union underwent some changes, most notably the loss of Hilem Ordo to another shipwright firm and the promotion of Riley Moonrigger to Vice President of the Techno Union. After the transition period, it was decided it would be best for the Techno Union if they abandoned the Oseon project's main construction task and allowed another CIS organization to complete it. Siejo received the news in stride and made his way home. He had spent over a year of his life in that system, building it for the Techno Union and it made him very saddened to hear of the projects closing. Siejo, using his connections from within the Nautolan Society, obtained a sleek capital ship, a C-3 Passenger Liner. The vessel was to be delivered to Oseon by his contact, the Rak'Qua Tecro K`nithor Drevan himself. One day, while doing some office work, Siejo's attention was caught by a Holonet briefing about the recent political instability in the Tapani Sector. Glee Anselm, in particular, was experiencing another civil war. Siejo was suprised that he had not heard of any events leading to this, especially from his remaining family who still lived there. Not wanting to take any chances, Siejo dispatched Nautola member Kai Xaviar to pick up his family and transport them to his home on Valakivir. Kai was off and Kutol went back to work.

A few weeks passed and Siejo received confirmation from Kai that he had contacted Siejo's fiancée and siblings, but his mother refused to come, stating that she felt that the war would soon be over and she needed to take care of the house. Siejo, although annoyed, knew that with his mother's hardheadedness he wouldn't be able to sway here. "Her stubbornness will be the death of her," Kutol joked with Kai. "Fine. Leave here. I'll stop by and get her myself here in a short while." With his instructions given, Kai lifted off and took Drukie, Calista, and other Kutols to Valakivir. The next week, Kutols capital ship arrived. After embracing K`nithor, Siejo thanked him and arranged a ride home for his fellow Tecro. After obtaining permission for a personal vacation, Siejo climbed into the cockpit, droid in tow, and took the ship for a spin. The Nautolan Spear, as he named it, came with a beautiful custom paint-job of green and purple. He took the ship out into space and tested its speed. He went from one side of the galaxy to the other picking up all five of his Y-TIEs named Cobalt, Striker, Broken Butterfly, and two new ones, Renegade and Ghost. Siejo also expanded his growing facility empire, spending much of his bonus on Nautolan and Techno Union Property. On his way to Valakivir, Siejo casually checked the Holonet for the latest drama on his homeworld. What he saw chilled him to the bone. There were many fighting for control of the sector. Glee Anselm had been bombed, hard. The news report stated that with the massive bombing of the planet, many casualties are feared, especially in the heavily populated Nautloan Sector, who had began an uprising last week. Many homes were destroyed in an effort to quash the rebellion. Siejo shut it off. With total disregard for his own life, he canceled the hyper jump, coming out in a system void of any planets. He then turned the ship toward Tapani and jumped to Glee Anselm, fearing the worst.

Nautolan Spear

Having easily escaped the blockade, Siejo descended to the ground in the Y-TIE Cobalt and stepped out of his ship. The massive city of Pieralos was just smoldering ashes. The buildings were bombed out and the busy city was still. His tendrils burning, Siejo ran to where his families shop once stood. The blaster marks on the walls told the story. Pieralos, once a busy metropolis, was invaded by enemy forces. After the bombs had fallen, the troops came down to clean up the mess. While, judging from the trooper armor strewn around on the streets, it appeared that the XXX Miners were able to fight them off, but casualties had been high. Kutol went to his family home in the water to find it empty. His mother must have gone ashore and when the fighting broke out, she must have perished. Kutol sat in the room where he grew up in and mourned for an entire week.

The Nautolan Spear streaked through space toward Valakivir, where Kutol's remaining family members were still alive. Once there, he descended down to the surface in his newly acquired Firespray. While on Valakivir, Kutol called a meeting of all Nautolan Society members. At this meeting, leadership was discussed, as well as the process of becoming a recognized organization. The results of the meeting was the acquisition of Council Flats in all Nautolan Society cities for Nautola and the now shared leadership of the Nautolan Society between the two Tecros and the Overlord. Siejo was put in charge of Logistics, which pleased him. He then gathered up his family and brought them to his capital ship for a gathering, one not of sorrow, but of joy. Siejo and Drukie were to be married. So, in orbit of the new Nautolan homeworld, Siejo and Drukie became one in the traditional Nautolan embrace of marriage. Siety descended back to the surface, to complete the new family home and to guard it until Siejo's return. Siejo's father stayed on the ship and, with Drukie's help, began to remodel the Nautolan Spear to fit their needs. Siejo piloted the ship back to Valrar in order to get back to work. The death of his mother had a strong effect on him, and he felt that the best way to avenge it was to help the CIS grow to hopefully be able to one day prevent something like that from happening again.

Business Before Pleasure and the Loss of Pix

When Siejo returned to Valrar, he transferred back to his heavy hauler and made the long hyperjump for his next mission. While en-route, Siejo received a transmission from Riley. Due to his dedication, he had been promoted to Line Captain of Logistics. This meant that, in the Techno Union, Siejo was now third in command of logistics .Unfortunately, as with many good things in life, the peace didn't last.

A council had been called by Pixelor Xess for reasons unknown to the high ranking members of the Nautolan Society. The meeting was scheduled to take place in the Western District of Nauto Prime, in one of the Council Flats residing there. The holomessage was quite clear that members of both of the clans, Nautola and Rak'Qua, were required to attend. Siejo rocketed down to the surface in his cobalt blue Y-TIE and some of the local sentient beings saw the ship and recognized it as Tecro Kutol's and gathered to greet him. The ship landed and Kutol stepped out. He was greeted with a loud cheer and raised his hand to the crowd. As he disembarked his ship and walked began to walk into the crowd, a large projectile flew past him, barely missing his head, and smashed into the ship. There was a loud explosion and the crowd panicked. Siejo tried to get up, but was very disoriented. He made his way toward the closest building, but was kicked from behind. He turned and was struck hard in the head. His back hit the building and he fell to the ground. He looked up at his attacker. The being, which appeared Human, pulled out a blaster and aimed it at the Tecro's head. Kutol, who was clearly still feeling the effects of the explosion, held up his hands to protect himself. The dark figure said that this was a message to Siejo's little society from its enemies said and leveled the blaster toward the fallen Nautolan. Just as he put his finger to the trigger, the barrel of a blaster came from the shadows. In a split second the barrel was there and the assailants head was gone. Siejo was stunned to still be alive. K`nithor Drevan stepped out of the shadows. He bent down to help Siejo up, when more explosions ripped across the city. The two Nautolans, after contacting the other Council Members, ran through the city and made their way to the alternate meeting place in the Central District.

As they gathered together, news was pouring in of attacks all over the Dolomar system. Unofficial word that Kirogost was being overrun by unknown forces was being reported. The council convened. Two notable faces were missing from the meeting. Zao Nephalem was out on a training mission with new Nautola Recruits at an unknown location, and Overlord Pixelor Xess was also at an unknown location. The meeting put together a quick defensive plan, which included clearing Kirogost with the assistance of some good friends. Stratigy would be handled by Stephen Garrett, and a Scouting Mission to be headed by Nautola member Saul Cohmre. With that the council convened and members went off to do their duty.

After confirmation by Cohmre that an invading for was on Kirogost, the Nautolan Society sent armies — both organic and synthetic — onto the battlefield of Kirogost. Rak'qua leadership led the troops into battle against a still unidentified invading force. The enemy forces established two forward strongholds in the Cities of Larrisa, Lorcano, and their main base in the city of Ivory Tower. With information in mind, Stephen Garrett crept into the city of Larrisa. There was able to retrieve information on the enemy commander, and most of his current battle strategy. Word spread through the ranks, and moral was high. Meanwhile, with the newly acquired strategy, Cohmre and the Nautolan Society Army managed to make headway against the enemy forces, and managed to bring the city of Lorcano under Nautolan Society colors.

Meanwhile, in the Nautolan Society flagship, the Nautolan Spear, Siejo Kutol received a holomessage. It was Pixelor. He had just made his way back in system. He had just exited hyperspace and was on his way to rendezvous with the Spear. After breaking connection with Overlord Xess, the bride alarms sounded. Fighters were making their way toward the Spear. Fighters flew out of the capital ship's hangers, and screamed toward the system sun, the direction from where the enemy ships were coming.

Tecro Kutol, now on the bridge, attempted to contact Xess to find his location and warn him of the upcoming firefight. When connection was made, he was horrified to find that Xess was making his way around the sun, toward the capital ship, the same direction the signal form the militant fighter came from. He quickly made his way to the docking ports, entered his fastest ship and raced to protect his good friend and Overlord from harm. Xess, as he made his way around the sun, was immediately attacked by enemy forces. He attempted to out maneuver them, but his ship was badly damaged. He was able to send out one distress holomessage to Kutol, before smashing into the surface of the Dolomar sun. The NS fighters cleaned up the remaining enemy fighters, but the leader of the Society was dead.

Siejo was overtaken with grief when he received the message. Kutol returned to the flagship and quickly fought off the enemy ships and sent word to the rest of the council members of the recent death of their glorious leader. When world began to leak of the Overlord's demise, the Nautolan Society base crumbled. Most of the resources were lost and It appeared that the militant forces, known only as the Brotherhood, had won.

While small skermishes waged on Kirogost, Siejo, as well as the entire Nautolan Society, was rocked with the death of Pixelor Xess. Siejo had just spoken to Pix a few days previous, discussing plans on producing a fleet in order to protect the Nautolan Society interests on Valakivir. For weeks, Siejo sat alone in the captain's quarters of the Nautolan Spear, pondering the future. A month after the disappearance of Pixelor, Siejo spoke with the leader of the group that Pixelor founded, Onyx Evacuations. The leader's name was Stephen Garrett. Garrett, a Human, was a wise man and turned out to be a good friend. He informed Siejo that Onyx gained control of Valakivir upon Pix's death and he was looking to the market to sell the planet. Siejo realized that he could never allow his homeworld to fall into public hands, and made some moves in order to acquire the Nauto Prime.

In a brash move, Siejo Kutol used most of his personal funds to purchase back Valakivir. When the residents heard of Pixelor's death and the Nautolan Society loss of planetary control, large riots broke out in the Western and Northern Districts of Nauto Prime, destroying most of the Western District. After the transaction, Kutol called a meeting in the Central Distinct. Word spread of the Acquisition of Valakivir through the NS ranks. The other ranking members in NS, especially K`nithor Drevan and Zao Nephalem, approached Siejo before the meeting started in order to make his position of leader more permanent. His natural charisma and his ability to speak Anselmi and Nautila made him a good choice to replace their fallen leader. Plans were made in order to have Siejo officially declared Overlord of the Nautolan Society, and the group separated.

Ring Given to Siejo when he was Appointed Overlord

After the council adjourned, a large public address was help outside. There it was announced the rebirth of the Nautolan Society, as well the reacquisition of Valakivir. After the meeting, the entire Nautolan Society fleet made its way to Kirogost to take care of the enemy forces for good. The forces met in Ivory Tower and a large battle took place. While Drevan and Cohmre led the general assault, Nephalem led one of his personally trained attack forces into the battle, behind the militant front lines in an effort to capture their forward command post. The plan was a success. Many lives were lost, but in the end, the Nautolan Society won the day, and the militant forces left the Dolomar system.

With Kirogost and Dolomar back in NS control, the system went under the direct command of Siejo Kutol. In order to celebrate his victory, Siejo traveled to Valakivir and gathered the crowds for a massive celebration. After the parade through the center of Nauto Prime, Kutol signaled for the pyrotechnics to be let off in the upper atmosphere. The crown was momentarily silent, and then cheered in the awesome sight as their faces were lit up from the fireworks. Siejo, after an initial greeting in Nautila, gave a speech in basic, promising stability, reliability, and prosperity. His first project would be to bring power to the west site of the city. Western Nauto Prime was almost abandoned after the attacks from the Brotherhood. Since the attacks, during which Siejo Kutol almost lost his life, the West has been slowly rebuilding, but was still in sad shape. Kutol promised to fix this and other matters. The crowd cheered, and the new Overlord of the Nautolan Society stepped down from the podium.

Expansion of the Nautolan Society

With the system secure, Siejo returned to his Techno Union work to raise more funds for the war effort. Large amounts of raw materials were ordered to help rebuild what had been destroyed by the fighting. With the raw materials on its way, Siejo looked to expand the NS to even greater heights. Siejo, along with recently promoted Nautola Contra Saul Cohmre, entered trade talks with Stephen Garrett, to acquire more of the old NS Property in the Dolomar system. After much debate, the two Nautolans bought the remaining Onyx holdings on the mountainous planet Dolomar and the gas world of Kirogost, bringing them completely under Nautolan Society control.

Siejo left Valakivir to complete more missions for the Techno Union. The gods had been smiling on the shipwright firm, and the organization smiled on him. Upon completion of a long ship drop, Siejo was appointed to Deputy Director of Logistics in the Techno Union with the promise that one day he would lead the logistics department. This put Siejo as fourth-in-command of the Techno Union and he was very pleased. With his new found wealth, Siejo went out and spent all the credits he could on the Nautolan Society, purchasing builders, ships, materials, and anything else he could think of. Under his leadership, the damaged psyche of the Nautolan Society began to repair and may lost Nautolans began to flock into its ranks.

Age of Prosperity

NS Prosperity

With the Nautolan Society once again a respectable collective in the galaxy, Siejo turned his focus on expanding the diplomatic ties for himself. He was invited to be a member of the Avance Coalition's House Koi`Nonia, and was soon promoted to Trade Minister. Siejo was also brought on as an adviser for the weapons manufacturer company Baktoid Armour Workshop and was appointed to the Director of the CIS Library by Viceroy Jansen. After the Techno Union made the shift from public to private contracting, Siejo was promoted to Logistics Director in charge of all order deliveries and product movement for the Techno Union. In charge of managing the movement of raw materials and keeping the production process fully stocked and Kutol, excelled at the job. He was also in charge of keeping the ships moving, delivering the military vessels, and hauling ships to their specified destinations.

Corporate Alliance

With the Society doing well and the Techno union growing at an good pace, Siejo was left with some spare time to ponder his future. He looked to his friends and family for support, and was set up for a pretty comfortable, if not relaxing future. Everything was going along according to the plan when Siejo was approached by a friend, Rand Axim, about the Corporate Alliance. The Alliance had fallen on hard times, and Rand was looking into possibly emptying his assets associated with the company. After some brief discussion, ownership of the Alliance was transferred to Siejo. Ever since the day he left the Alliance, Kutol had missed his time there. Now he owned it. Immediately he merged the Nautolan Society's assets with that of the Corporate Alliance and strengthened the organization. Soon the organization was running strong again, with Nautola Tecro Saul Cohmre leading. With the Alliance stable, Kutol looked to the markets to find new contracts for the growing organization.

Hoersch-Kessel Drive

It did not take long for Siejo to turn the Alliance into profitable asset, managing casinos, building facilities, and using the Society's resources and connections to produce ships and construction stations. The growth of the small organization was noticed by many traders on the outside, hiring the Alliance for many odd jobs. Soon the entire Dolomar Sector was under the command of the Corporate Alliance due its its large influence from the Dolomar capital system. Early in Year 10, Siejo was approached by a good friend, Seijin Ackmin, who had taken command of a shipwright firm, Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Inc. He was struggling and needed assistance keeping the firm afloat. Siejo agreed, but then many strange events followed, leaving Ackmin in a Nautolan Society Prison and Kutol with ownership of HKD. Ackmin had hired a pirate to help him loot the shipwright firm before he gave it to Kutol, which occurred, then blame it solely on the pirate, and make a nice cut for himself. This would leave Siejo with the blame and run the risk of tarnishing Siejo's reputation. Siejo quickly went through the firm's database and obtained all of the information needed to prove Ackmin's guilt. Seijin Ackmin was arrested soon after on and HKD starship by Vladimir Merury and sentenced to imprisonment for all time in a Society Prison on Valakivir.

With that crisis averted, Siejo repaid all of the stolen goods to the clients of HKD and Merged the HKD production team into the Corporate Alliance. This turned out to be a great plan, as the profits swelled. Siejo, along with the CA leading council, known as the Alliance Directorate, initiated plans to build a production complex in Dolomar to help meet the Alliances Production needs and hopefully bring more profit to the small organizations.

The Fall of Siejo Kutol

Galactic Year 10 started off with a real bang for the Kutol family. The Corporate Alliance was booming, with the addition of the Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Inc., production capabilities, and looked to become a force in the galaxy. Dolomar Shielding plans were also in the works, increasing the general security of the Dolomar Colony. On the political side, the Alliance began to spread its influence outside of Dolomar, establishing colonies in the Oseon system, taking over what the Techno Union left there just a year ago. HKD also began construction on the shipyards and production facilities that would dot the Dolomar system. Everything was going well, and the large family that was the Alliance was growing. Sadly, things can never stay the same, and on Year 10 Day 147, the walls came down.

In the early hours of that morning strange reports started to come into the Security Department of disgruntled workers gathering to form some sort of protest on Dolomar and Kirogost. Suddenly, a majority of the Alliance's hard goods began to trade hands. A flood of credits came into the organization from apparent clients, and then was taken out of the coffers immediately, and all indicators pointed to Adoy Baba, Siejo Kutol's long-time friend and current Commerce Director. Effective immediately, Adoy Baba was removed from his director's position. After some initial research, Kutol informed the members of the organization that Mr. Baba, with the help of Tony Barzini, who was once a member of Hoersch-Kessell Drive, Inc., attempted to embezzle the Alliance. After starting a small riot on Dolomar, Mr. Baba accepted Mr. Barzini into the Corporate Alliance. Together, they convinced the representatives of the Alliance Workers Union to join their cause, leading to a mass exodus of Alliance workers and builders to join Barzini. Mr. Baba then proceeded to steal everything he and access too, starting with the deeds to the Alliance ships, access codes to client facilities, all of the Alliances Raw Material stockpiles, and a large amount of credits. Mr. Baba, pretending to represent the Alliance in the open market holorooms, also stole large amounts of credits from Alliance clientèle throughout the galaxy. With that complete, the conspirators descended on Dolomar, to try to use the rioting to take control of the planet. Luckily for the Alliance, Magistrate Cohmre discovered the plot and removed both pirates from the organization and initiating negotiations with the Alliance Workers Union.

Valakivir

With the system back under control of the Alliance, the security department worked on finding Baba. After meeting with some guards, Siejo made the trip to Opulence, the Nautolan Society Space Command Center in Dolomar. When he arrived, his meeting to debrief the Society was interrupted by emergency reports from security scan teams in Dolomar. A fleet of starfighters, led by Baba, had exited hyper and were assaulting the Nautolan Spear over Valakivir. Siejo's entire family was on that ship, including his brother, father, wife and daughter. A large fighting force flew to assist the ship, which took heavy damage. The Kutol family managed to get onto an escape pod with the help of a boarding party, and landed in a jungle on Valakivir. Kutol, flying in the Cobalt, was in pursuit of the Pod when he was shot down by Baba. Siety, flying a modified Cloak/H-type fighter, followed Baba to the pods landing position and saved his father, but could not stop Baba from taking Drukie prisoner. Siejo, emerging from his busted ship, found himself in a dense jungle, and no ship. He managed to find his way to his father and brother, who then spread out in all directions to find Baba before he got off planet with his prize.

For an hour, Siejo pushed his way through the dense underbrush. The jungle was overwhelming with all of the bugs, small animals, and the noises of the larger, hidden ones coming from all around. He hadn't heard anything from his brother, so he pushed on, using his blade, he cleared a path for himself so he could see. Loud screeches were all around him, and the jungle was growing darker by the minute. He had to hurry. Then he noticed a sound in the distance. It was too far to distinguish what it was, but it did not belong in the jungle. He made his way to the strange call. As he got closer, his posture changed suddenly, as he realized what it was. He screamed out his daughter's name and ran in that direction, ignoring the brush as it hit his body, cutting his face, arms and legs. He ran into the open clearing, and rage overcame him. A small figure was pulling his wife by her arm towards a downed ship, his wife was fighting, but the small hooded figure was winning. Calista was in his wives arms, crying. Siejo threw the knife at the small figure. The knife flew at the hooded figure and just missed his right shoulder, nicking the outer cloak. The figure turned, as did Drukie. Drukie screamed out to Siejo.

Siejo glared at the small figure's face. Siejo screamed obscenities at the Jawa and pulled his blaster, but not before the Jawa, who was surprisingly quick, had his set on Kutol's wife. The two argued back and forth. Baba demanded credits from Kutol, and a trip off-world. For that he would trade Siejo back his family. The problem was that the amount was insanely high. Siejo tried to consider his options, when a fighter flew up overhead. The ground shook, knocking his daughter from Drukie's arms. Calista landed with a hard thud, hitting her head on a rock, and falling unconscious. The load roar and the jerk from Drukie startled the Jawa, causing him to put too much pressure on the blaster's trigger and the gun went off.

Drukie slumped to the ground. The Jawa stared stunned. Siejo screamed out in pain and started firing at Adoy. Adoy returned fire, striking the Nautolan in the left arm. Siejo fell, but continued firing at the Jawa. Adoy turned and ran to the ship, hopping into the cockpit as blaster bolts reflected off the ships hull. Siejo crawled in that direction, and towards the figure of his wife. Adoy hit the thrusters and pulled up out of the jungle and into the atmosphere. Siejo crawled to his wives crumpled body, the sound of his daughter's screams drowned out by his rage and sorrow. He picked up her crippled body, holding her with his right arm, and screamed.

The world came back into view. It was morning. He started to sit up, when two figured grabbed his arms. He jerked back in fear, but, after recognizing the grabbers as NS security, allowed them to help him to his feet. The air was cold, and had a pungent smell to it. Usually this was Siejo's favorite time to explore this area of Valakivr, but today would be different. Siejo was saluted by two of the soldiers, who asked if he was alright. Siejo looked to his injured arm, and was about to tell the soldier about it when the events of the last night rushed to him. Overcome by emotion, he reached down to pick up the body of his wife, but his injured arms strained under her weight. He fell down next to her, in tears.

Then there was a loud cry coming from behind him. Siejo turned, mumbling his daughter's name. He ran over and found his daughter, alive but badly dehydrated and still unconscious. He picked her up and ran to Ace Nightstalker. Kutol screamed for a transport. While the security forces, led by Nightstalker and Aqua, scanned the jungle for the rest of the forces, Siejo flew his injured daughter to the capital and had her admitted to the Anselmi Research Hospital in the Eastern District. His injuries were treated, and he was in his daughter's room when he was told his brother, Siety, was captured by mercenaries. The kidnappers had requested a ransom, one larger then that requested by Baba. Siejo ordered his men to see it paid, and then commandeered a small fighter and flew from the scene. Once in the atmosphere, Siejo was just able to see Baba's starfighter fly out into orbit of the planet.

He followed, entering hyper just after the Jawa did. He came out in the familiar system of Valrar and followed the Jawa as he made his way around the system. Adoy did not pick up Siejo on the scanners and was caught off guard when the ETA-2 behind him opened fire. Adoy Baba's ship was badly damaged and fell from the sky, crashing on the frozen Trade Federation planet of Morgabul. Siejo landed his ship and pulled his gun, pressing it to the Jawa's head as he exited the broken ships cockpit. Rage filled Kutol, but his honor kept him from pulling the trigger, that and Alliance member Teth`ren Soulbourne, who had been following Kutol in a CA Pursuer Enforcement Ship, arrived and convinced Siejo not to kill the Alliance traitor. Adoy Baba was arrested and taken into custody. Siejo Kutol, now widowed, flew to a secluded location and mourned the loss of his beloved wife.

Recovery

Siejo After the Death of his Wife

After the death of his wife, Siejo fell into a deep depression. Leaving the organizations, and society for that matter, in the hands of Saul, Siejo descended to the deepest depths of the largest ocean on Valakivir. He wasn't there long when he was surprised by an old friend, one who he helped through a situation very similar to the one he was in. Allana Aran, a young vibrant Nautolan female, was the wife of late Overlord Xess. When Pixelor was killed, Siejo comforted Allana and the two became very close. Siejo had forgotten he had told her of his spot, and, with that information, she alone was the only soul in the galaxy that would have been able to find him. Allana didn't say a word, she just held Siejo as he cried for the loss of his best friend. In that moment, their friendship grew to something completely different. After a few days, Siejo and Allana left the Sea and went to the Anselmi Research Hospital in Nauto Prime, to check on his daughter, who was doing well. As the days passed, the pain didn't go away, but the new found happiness continued to grow between Kutol and Aran and they became inseparable.

While its leader was having an emotional breakdown, the Corporate Alliance thrived. The great business minds Kutol had brought together to help form the CA and HKD were putting their skills to the test, bringing in high class clients and contacts. Siejo's longtime rival in the Commerce Guild, Kran Chan, joined the Alliance and was appointed as leader of Hoersch-Kessel Drive. With the help of a few other good friends, Riley Moonrigger and Krayt Fel, the damaged organizations were soon operating at maximum efficiency and didn't look back at the betrayal of Baba. If anything it taught the leaders to be more watchful who has access to what in the group.

Renewal

Allana Aran

After a few months of getting back into the daily grind, Siejo was back to leading the Alliance and working as Construction Director for the Techno Union. With all of his experience from the Techno Union, Siejo was able to channel that into his efforts for Hoersch-Kessel Drive, which was slowly becoming a respectable ship manufacturer. While he worked hard on his organizations, Siejo remained dedicated to the Trade Federation and his Techno Union work. During one extended trip, Siejo found himself in a fast ship, jetting to Allana's last known location in the Storthus system. He found her working on inventory on Storthus Minor, a Creshaldyne Industries planet. Siejo caught her by surprise, and, after obtaining permission from her adopted father Elm Aran, asked Allana to be his wife. Allana accepted and the two were married on Year 10 Day 268.

The Year of War and Expansion

Sovereign

Year 11 started off with a bang for Siejo as the Corporate Alliance was drawn into a war on the planet of Mitillian. The local populace had lost control of the world and negotiated a contract with an Alliance lieutenant requesting the Corporate Alliance's aid. Siejo, at the helm of the Alliance flagship, a Kaloth dubbed Sovereign, led the Alliance fleet to the Boordi system. The war was quick and decisive, as little organized resistance was initially found. Just as things seemed to be completed, a militant group arose in the south. This group had made contact with the mercenary outfit known as the HawkBats. Forces clashed in and around the southern part of the planet. Siejo made contact with Keram McDlanar, the HawkBats' leader. An immediate ceasefire was declared and a partnership between the two organizations was agreed upon. From this day forth, the two organizations worked together to help the local populace and to provide planetary defenses.

Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals Company

After the war for Mitillian, Siejo made a large push, with the help of the Trade Federation and a security company known as the Crimson Aces led by Jormungand Gand, for the defense of Dolomar. Shields were completed on all Alliance worlds as well as construction started on multiple defense stations. During one raw materials trip, Kutol was informed about some of his allies' issues. The Order of the Progenitor (OoP), a religious brotherhood sponsored by NS brethren Selkath Association and led by Siejo's good friend Mike Que-Kara, was having many issues with personnel and sponsors. The organization had signed a treaty with the Corporate Alliance for assistance and yet was still struggling. At the same time, a Nautolan named Chilyo Barpher had been working on a medical organization known as Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals Company and it was also floundering. Around Day 150, Chilyo turned the organization over to Siejo, who in turn hired Riley Moonrigger to lead it.

Phoenix Recycling

Stress got to Patriarch Mike Que-Kara, and he was having a very hard time in his in his personal life. Mid Year 11, he was killed by an unknown force during a routine mining operation. Varik Starwind was assigned as leader of the Order of the Progenitor. Varik looked to increase relations with the Alliance, and for the next six months, the OoP was fully supported by Siejo and the Alliance. Also at this time, ownership of Phoenix Recycling Corporation was transferred to Siejo from his friend Aeonian Masha who was having trouble keeping the organization afloat.

With all this going on, another war broke out, this time in Centrality. Old acquaintances contacted Siejo asking for aid from the Alliance. Kieran Traejik, leader of the vehicle manufacturer Haor Chall Engineering, made contact and signed a pact with the Corporate Alliance. CA forces led by Remus Vaslikov were dispatched to the Trammis and Foh systems. The war, against the Stars' End Mining Company, was a fast paced affair. After a few weeks of battles across multiple systems, Siejo sat down with the leaders of the two groups and helped negotiate a treaty to end hostilities. At this meeting, discussion of old alliances from the past, most notably the fact that all three organizations were once staunch CIS allies. From this meeting, the idea to refound the Confederacy of Independent Systems was born.

Leadership and the Confederacy

Haven

On the last day of Year 11, Siejo Kutol was elected to be the first Supreme Military Commander of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. While this was his main focus, personally, Siejo was transfixed on rebuilding his recycling company. He took personal command of Pheonix Recycling Corporation only a month before, leaving the Corporate Alliance in the hands of Saul Cohmre, and worked on completely remodeling the organization. After slick negotiations, Pheonix's operations were merged with the operations of both the Haven Corporation and Imperial Resource Conversions to bring the company into a new period of growth. Haven Recycling Corporation, with Siejo at the helm, became one of the standout recyclers in the galaxy, offering services to both the public and private markets.

CIS

While growth in Haven was booming, the Confederacy grew as well. Under the direct guidance of Siejo Kutol, the Alliance became stronger. At its height, in the beginning of Year 12, there were fourteen organizations. Trouble politically between SEMCO and HCE led to the fracturing of part of the Alliance, leaving the CIS with only ten organizations after Horley Cyan stepped down and withdrew his support. Siejo used his political sway to keep the Alliance together and remodel it into more of a governing body rather then just a council of members. Siejo also pushed to separate out the Corporate Alliance conglomerate which had grown to five organizations but was in dire need of a remodel. The group saw an immediate response, and the Confederate coffers began to fill.

While business was good, Siejo saw a sharp decline in his personal life. He was so consumed by his desire for progress and expansion that he spent very little time at home, and even less time on family activities. His daughter was growing up without him, and his wife was growing more and more concerned with him. She begged him to make changes, as the offices he was holding was turning him into something completely different from the Nautolan she married. After one of their largest fights to date, he agreed and, on Day 129 of Year 12, Siejo stepped down as Supreme Commander of the Confederacy, turning his focus more internally. He continued to serve as the Corporate Alliance Senator to the Confederate Senate as well as the Treasurer, but left leadership to others. The Corporate Alliance, while successful, had grown stale and Siejo felt it was his duty to find out why.

Ascension to Prominence

It only took Kutol a matter of weeks to get the Corporate Alliance turned around. Lacking a strong personality at the helm seemed to be a majority of the problems, and with him back in the front, the organization thrived once more. With the Alliance back on track, Siejo began the next phase of his plan which involved the creation of a government to help manage his space and keep his alliance safe. The controversy came with how to proceed with that. The Corporate Alliance, which was by far the largest organization in the Confederacy, could easily expand to become an official government, but Siejo was worried that it could lead to dissension in the Confederate senate, as it could be perceived as a power move, much like the one of the Trade Federation taking command of the CIS of old as a government. Instead, Kutol began negotiations with the leader of the other large conglomerate in the CIS, Samuel Ashen of Andromeda Security, to try to come to an agreement that could produce a united CIS government. The negotiations were quick, and after a few days, late in Year 12, the Confederacy of Independent Systems was transformed into a government with Siejo at the helm.

While, politically and publicly, this move was the natural evolution to a great career, privately, Siejo began to suffer. The pressures of business and fighting at home led him to increase his drinking and spending more time in space and less time at his home on Cularin. Allana could not, no matter how hard she tried, get him to see what he had become. His personal lust for power and the need to feed his ego blinded him to the destruction he was leaving behind with his family and old time friends. It seemed, to most who met him, Siejo was a dedicated politician and diplomat who bled for his people, but to the few who him, he was slowly becoming darker and was walking down a path that would only lead to pain.

Months passed, with much staying the same. The Confederacy grew, slowly at first, then will a little more jump in its step as its capital world Genarius nears completion. Genarius, once the haven of the CIS while it was in exile, was settled by the CIS and its capital founded all in Year 12. Settling wasn't easy, with many bandits and rebels roaming the planet's surface, attacking construction crews and exploration teams alike. Siejo himself led most of the build projects as well as the Confederate droid army in many skirmishes in the new CIS territory. As the planet developed, most of the Confederate member companies soon undertook initiatives to join the CIS in the Hevvrol Sector. Soon, Hevvrol and neighboring Mondress Sector, become the nexus of all Confederate life.

There was also a mass change in Confederate membership at the turn of Year 13. BlasTech and Hawkbats ceased to be CIS members and larger corporations like Kuat Drive Yards began showing interest in joining. After the addition of InterGalactic Banking Clan and Horizon Tactical Armaments, the CIS boosted twelve healthy companies, something which consumed Siejo. His personal life was put aside for the better good of his pride and joy, the Confederacy.

Heritage

Year 13 was an odd year for the old squid. By now the CIS had risen to enough prominence that recruiting and boarder security was no longer an issue. Siejo spent most of his time trying to work on diplomacy, something he was very fond of. He hardly saw his family as being a government opened many doors that were once closed when he was just the leader of a trading conglomerate. This left little time for personal endeavors. It was quite an excitement when his daughter, Calista Kutol voiced a desire to work with him on a diplomatic meeting to Glom Tho. Calista, even at her young age, had inherited her father's passion for words, and showed much promise in her school work. This raised concerns from his wife Allana, as the last thing she wanted was her daughter to follow in his path. A surprise to the family came when a young Nautolan, Siem Ro Kutol showed up on a build site. Siety Kutol, Siejo's younger brother, worked for the Confederacy and spent many a night in strange beds. One of these encounters begot Siem, who grew up loathing his father. The encounter was a violent one with Siem wanting to destroy his father, but Siejo intervened, promising young Siem a life of hard work, but much reward. Siem agreed and joined the CIS workforce.

Fallen Angel

Times were prosperous in the Confederacy. Siejo had accomplished more then he could of ever dreamed, but still his personal drive called for more. As Year 13 passed, the CIS had built itself into a legitimate government, with the fleet and credit flow to prove it. Siejo dove deeper and deeper into his work, pushing himself further and harder then he ever had. His personal life suffered for it. Calista idolized him, seeing him as her hero, but his wife became worried. He spent less and less time with them, and more and more time in his office. Allana decided it would be better for her and her daughter to leave Cularin and head to Glom Tho to live with her father Elm Aran in Year 13. Siejo took the news rather harshly, stepping down as Head of State of the Confederacy and instead moving over to Haven once more to try to improve the CIS/Trade Federation relations. Calista took the news roughly, screaming at her father when he made a visit to Glom Tho. After the fight, Siejo went to Dalcretti, expecting to be gone for at least a month. During this time, the gulf between him and his family increased, but all Siejo was worried about was the credit inflow of his favorite company. He hardly noticed the time past, spending his days either behind the controls of an EVA or intoxicated.

Elm Aran

The loss of Sirius Cyan, his second in command at Haven, due to political differences inside the CIS was a huge blow. Siejo was forced to lead the entire mission himself and, after failing to meet the deadlines on some of his projects, the Trade Federation canceled the contract. Siejo took the news very badly, returning to Cularin and locking himself in his office for months at a time. He was afraid to talk about the failure, one of the largest of his career, and never mentioned his return to Cularin to his wife. She found out in late Year 13 that he was not only back, but had been avoiding Glom Tho where she and Calista had been staying. She visited him at his office on Kutol Yard. This led to a heated argument, and she left fearing that their days together as a family were numbered. She had no idea how close to the truth she was.

It was at this time, early Year 14, that the Metamorphosis Plague struck the galaxy. Siejo was locked away in his office, spending his days drinking spice wines and special brews of tea and was completely unaware. He was shocked awake when visited by an old friend, Tika Majere, who had been infected by the virus and transformed into a Nautolan. Siejo initially freaked out, locking Tika up, and interrogating her. After a day of much confusion, he finally recognized Tika for whom she was, but it quickly brought on the terrifying thought that something may had happened to his family. With the help of Elm Aran and Tika, Siejo located Allana's last known location. They descended to the surface of Glom Tho only to find her ship abandoned and her wedding ring left behind. Through the confusion and pain, the ship command logs were discovered. The logs indicated that Allana had been infected with the virus, transformed into a Falleen, and fled.

Finding Fault

Calista Kutol

Siejo was overcome by grief, believing that his marriage was over, and making the realization that it was his own fault. His lust for credits and power drove him to overwork and pushed his family further and further away. His wife was now missing, possibly lost, and what of his daughter, Calista? Tika, Elm and Siejo used the extensive satellite and station monitor systems in Glom Tho to identify Calista's likely whereabouts. It appeared that, when Allana didnt come home, Calista became worried and attempted to follow after her mother. Being an inexperienced pilot, she was forced to allow the ship to stay on autopilot and the vessel flew her to Cularin. Once she arrived, she was unable to fly the ship correctly and crashed on the planet Cularin in the city of Nauto Prime. After identifying her ship and tracking her to Cularin, Siejo and crew landed in Nauto Prime and located Calista, who was sitting, injured, in the sands of a beach outside Nauto Prime. Siejo and Calista were together again and he had no intention of ever letting her go.

After spending a few days at his villa in Nauto Prime with his remaining family, Siejo, along with Tika, Elm, and Leo Iscander followed the clues left behind by his wife. Their search took them to Falleen space, where Allana was now working. Their reunion was difficult, with Siejo unable to look at his wife in her new form. He fled the situation, but she followed, refusing to let him take the blame. Allana insisted that she was the one at fault, running from all she loved due to her fear of being rejected. Siejo was unsure of what would happen between them and if they could ever truly be the same again, but they left Falleen Prime together with their family, to return to Hevvrol and try to pick up the pieces.

A Cure

While the galaxy continued to spin in the turmoil of galactic politics, Siejo left most of that worry behind. Once the White Blurr, carrying himself and his family, returned to Hevvrol, he and Allana spent a day talking about their future. It was decided that, regardless of what the future may hold, they were dedicated to walk that path together. After a heartfelt reunion between daughter and mother, Siejo, Allana, and Calista made their way to Titan Research Colony, operated by Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals Company. Chiewab had left the public market in Year 11 after some of its research methods were called into question, but Siejo had continued to support them financially. This good relationship was a major reward for the Hevvrol populace as Chiewab was vital in finding some new treatments for some of the more rare diseases found in the sector. With the discovery of the Derra virus and the subsequent realization that it was running rampant in the Confederacy, large amounts of research was devoted to the virus and the possibility of a cure. Siejo and Allana were hopeful that the research would pay off and took their hopes to Titan.

After being evaluated by Nolain Rockport, Allana lost consciousness. It was determined that she had not been acclimating well to her new physiology and was severely malnourished. During the examination, it was discovered that she still retained some of her Nautolan DNA in her bone marrow. After extensive research, Dr. Rockport decided it was worth an attempt to use some of that dna, along with a viral vector, to attempt to mimic the Metamorphosis Plague, hopefully resulting in a mutation that would end with Allana's previously mutated DNA being replaced with the newly reintroduced Nautolan DNA. The breakthrough experiment took place on Titan Research Colony on Year 14 Day 106, and, due to the recovery of some of Allana's Nautolan genes and incorporating them into a special viral vector, it was a success. After days of painful recovery, Allana Kutol was a Nautolan again, although there was some strange side effects. Allana looked slightly different then she had before, and she had changed color; going from a deep green to a bright red. Regardless of the result, the Kutol family was together again and Siejo was dedicated to keeping it that way.

Discovery of the Angels

A month after his family was reunited, Siejo decided that a family vacation was in order. The struggles of the past month, while deeply troubling, had brought him and his wife much closer together. They were finally happy again, but he was struggling with his business, trying to keep his tendrils out of it, and needed to separate himself from his Confederate partners. He, Allana, and Calista took a trip to Korfin Moon, a recent annex by the Corporate Alliance. The moon had some very modern amenities, and it was an area of space that Siejo and Allana had never visited. Upon arrival, they settled into one of the luxury colonies in orbit around the moon, compliments of his old company the Corporate Alliance.

Gand in Orbit of Iegos

After a day at one of the local steam spa, Siejo was contacted by one of his best friends, a Gand named Jormungand Gand. Gand has been exploring the space near this sector and found a strange system not found on any star chart. Siejo was hesitant to just run off and leave his family behind, especially after the promise he made to his wife, but was lucky enough to convince Calista how exciting it would be to be the first Nautolan little girl to see these new moons. The couple and their child boarded one of the luxury YT-510 freighters that the Alliance had in orbit of the moon and flew to the newly discovered Iego system.

Upon exiting hyperspace, Calista's eyes were the largest Siejo had ever seen them when she saw the new and mysterious frontier. He met up with Gand at one of the smaller moons and the two made a plan to do a quick scan of the system. Everything went rather well as Siejo and his family traveled from planet to planet, searching for anything that looked interesting or odd on the scanners. They enjoyed a picnic on a sandy beach on the planet Iego, Calista jokingly laying claim to it. Siejo made plans to meet up with Gand on the largest moon before heading back to Korfin.

On the moon, Siejo was just finishing his last scan, awaiting Gand's arrival, when he saw an odd bleep on his scanners. It was a city, which seemed impossible, as the system was not thought to be colonized. At a closer glance, the city was full of tall structures, many of them with architecture he was not familiar with. Siejo collected his family, boarded the Ruffler, and came in for a closer scan revealing life-forms. In a panic, he quickly contacted Gand and informed him of the situation.

The Betrayal of Echuu Shen-Jon

EchuuRedFury.png

After returning from the family vacation, Siejo received a classified report from one of his SPECTRE contacts. It appeared as if Allana's adopted brother and leader of the Confederacy, Echuu Shen-Jon, had been assisting pirates in their raids on Confederate colonies on Mondress. Unable to simply accept this as fact, Siejo voyaged to the Titan Research Station where he observed firsthand holovids of a raid on a local Corporate Alliance bank. The raid took millions from the Bank, and Shen-Jon's passcode was used to bypass security. More damaging for the case, Shen-Jon was onsite. Siejo, in a fit of rage, accidentally found himself on a restricted floor of the Research Station. While stumbling around in the dark abandoned floor, Siejo was exposed to an exotic plant toxin that was collected in per suite of the cure for the Derra virus. This toxin twisted Kutol's mind, feeding on his paranoia, and playing off his painful feelings. Siejo rounded up much of the Confederate Droid Army, using a special code to override their programing, who were stationed on the CIS Lucrehulk Revenue. With his army behind him and fire in his eyes, he set the Confederate battleship in flight towards the Mondress Sector with revenge on his mind.

Records are not clear on what happened during the confrontation, but after an apparent battle in an abandoned city, Kutol was rendered heavily wounded and Shen-Jon escaped with minor wounds. A security vid showed what appeared to be the Confederate Head of State and Siejo Kutol in hand-to-hand combat, but the reports were not verified. After a stay in the bacta tank, Kutol assumed command of the Confederacy and Echuu Shen-Jon was declared an enemy of the state. It is rumored he went onto become the leader of a mercenary unit known as the Red Fury Brotherhood. Siejo was deeply hurt by the betrayal of his closest friend, but seemed dedicated to trying to correct the errors the last Head of State had made in the past. It became quickly evident to Siejo that, in his absence from leadership, diplomacy with some of the other governments around the galaxy had weakened. Siejo made it his primary directive to attempt to repair the public image of his government while balancing his family life. This was to be a task easier said then accomplished.

Rouge Spectre and the Disappearance

In the next few months, normalcy returned to the Kutol family. After stabilizing the Confederacy, Siejo turned the government over to his friend Samuel Ashen. Together they saw the reacquisition of the Mondress Sector and, in the same month, the addition of the Ciutric Sector to the Confederate territory.

Kutol on Gamma Station

Near the end of Year 14, Siejo was on a creature hunt with his brother Nochbo Kitol when his world began to unravel. Alliance battledroids, under direct command from a Corporate Alliance Spectre, attacked the Kutol compound on Cularin. After abducting Calista, the droids retreated to an Arquitens Light Cruiser which was positioned at the starport in the city. After a massive battle, the ship was destroyed and there was no sign of Siejo's only child. After regrouping with his family, Siejo used a homing device he had implanted in his daughter's arm to track her to an abandoned asteroid hideout in system. While en-route to the station, Siejo learned that his wife was pregnant. Determined to end this conflict before it could grow, Siejo boarded the station to confront the Rouge Spectre, codenamed RedHawk.

The meeting was a ploy. RedHawk was not in the command room of the station, instead at the helm of the Apocalyptica. The ship was a heavily-modified Corona Class Frigate and was suited with a prototype Ion Canon. Before Siejo could escape the station, RedHawk unleashed the weapon on the asteroid hideout, destroying it.

Personality and Traits

Overlord Tunic
Overlord Cloak

Kutol is a brown Nautolan with a strong brow and thin nose. When he was younger, he would wear his tendrils pulled back as to not seem to imposing to other species. As he got older and more known around the galaxy, he embraced his heritage and wore them down around his shoulders. When he was younger, Siejo constantly wore an orange jacket with tight-fitting brown pants. After a few years, he was often seen wearing either his leather pilot jacket and tight-fitting green pants or the traditional Society Overlord garb. While in space, he wears heavy combat armor and the Overload teal cloak. His hand is adorned with the Overlord signet ring and his wedding ring to his second wife Allana Aran.

Leisure Magazine

Kutol was known as a very laid-back figure, often joking and promoting fun, as opposed to being constantly serious like some of his brethren. He was very good at his work and took to it with much excitement. He had a very good business mind, bringing many bankrupt companies back from the brink and into an era of success. He was also known as a philanthropist, being very happy to help newer players and people of his own race. His naturally trusting demeanor left him to be taken advantage of by the likes of lesser senients of the galaxy such as Bask Night, Seijin Ackmin or Adoy Baba, but overall this had little effect on how he treated people. Siejo was a very hard worker, having much success in his early career to his strong work ethic. He had a collection of fun things stashed away in a safe on his ship, such as a leisure magazine given to him by Zao Nephalem, card games, and other interesting things.

Later in life he became a bit of a hermit, unable to deal with the stresses his career had placed on his shoulders. He was hard to find by many, always locking himself away somewhere secluded and drinking himself silly. After some large life events, Siejo ended his sabbatical and began focusing less on work and more on family and fun. He resigned many of the offices he had held over the years and instead spent his time working with his family on projects for the thrill of it, and no longer focused on profit. The events involving the Red Fury Brotherhood made this a difficult task.
