'''''Cong`liddo Nollaig''''' professional alias Dr. Cong, core name Gliddon, is a [[Chiss]] [[:Category:Males|male]], born Year 0 Day 79 to a wealthy family of doctors on the Chiss colony of Formac. Gliddon was expected to follow in his parents footsteps by taking over the family practice. Instead, he chose to embark on a journey of adventure and on Year 21, Day 79 he set out from Mek Va Uil to make his mark on the galaxy.

=In the beginning=

''Private schools and unlocked doors''

==Formative Years==

Cong`liddo Nollaig was born on Formac, a small Chiss colony in the Csilla system. Gliddons family were well to do doctors that serviced the planet. Dr. and Mrs Cong served in many local charity and community roles, and while the upbringing was actually rather comfortable considering the turmoil the Chiss people had experienced early on and Gliddon often found himself in the role of troublemaker throughout his years. His family wealth provided him upbringing allowed him to attain the best private schools in the system that the Chiss could offer and yet a habit of breaking into the headmasters chambers, found him moving from school to school, rather involuntary.

The period of life at preparatory school was done with mixed results, there were several unproven incidents where Gliddon had been considered the prime suspect in a break and entry into headmasters quarters but it was never proven. After several undeclared expulsions from more academic schools, shortly after the New Republic took over governance of the Csilla system his parents felt comfortable enough to send him off world to train in a military academy.

|-

|}
Gliddon found himself thriving in the Csilla military academy and while he initially was trained as doctor his steady hands allowed him to thrive as a combat pilot. Despite his aptitude for combat, and under significant family pressure, Gliddon declined to join the ranks of the local garrison and decided to return to Formac to train under his parents to take over their colonial practice.

===Life on Formac===

The Csilla system and by extension the Chiss people have long suffered under several masters and early periods of internal strife. Gliddons parents had left Csilla due to simmering political turmoil prior to his birth and he was born as a colonial on the planet Formac, then the smallest of the Chiss colonies. His parents treated those who were on the frontier of the Chiss society, and developed a reputation as solid practitioners.

The [[New Republic]] occupation lead to a period of stagnation in the Csilla system. There were small spurts of development, a few disjointed expansions but with Csilla already positioned outside the galaxy was largely ignored. Many Chiss left Csilla to pursue wealth or adventure as the New Republic refused homerule by the Chiss over their homeland. The decay was lead to Formac largely being undeveloped during Gliddons early years. He spent many hours roaming the wilderness near his family ranch hunting for local prey, developing an affinity for the practice.

==New Landlord==

Years of decay left the New Republic open to espionage due to internal corruption. The Empire managed to swiftly take control over the New Republic defenses and the garrison at Csilla capitulated without a fight leaving The Empire to assert domain over the former New Republic outpost. Cong, recently graduated from the academy on Csilla was at Mek Va Uil during the period of transition on Csilla. He had expected to return after his vacation to Csilla but the transition and turmoil at Csilla lead Gliddon to change his mind to join the Empire of the Hand, a new salvage combat outfit.

=Stepping out into the galaxy=

==Where the hand guides==

The lure of action and wealth was too tempting of an offer for Gliddon to pass up so on his 21st birthday, Year 21 Day 79, he struck out on his own. Following the turmoil at Csilla, the opportunity to seek adventure was too much to overcome. Disappointing his parents, he signed up for the [[Empire of the Hand]], a combat oriented recycling faction run by Grand Admiral Grevendar Togl. Togl had a reputation as a competent leader and EOTH had undertaken several operations that garnered renown. Among the Chiss EOTH had developed itself into a competent battle organization. Gliddon believed serving in EOTH would both serve the Chiss people and satiate lust for combat.

==Learning the Ropes==

They days were long and consistent, dodging asteroids in pursuit of bandits. Gliddon preferred the y-wing, an older well travelled model fighter but reliable. Also, it had a dual seat which Gliddon would get into cockpit fights with his co-pilot and then heal them. His deft hands and penchant for trouble in his youth paid off and his slicing skills developed quickly with many bandit ships turned over to EOTH as bounty.

Gliddon took to this new role in the galaxy with great zeal, his first 100 days were one filled purpose and with his activity being exemplary he rose quickly through the EOTH ranks, splitting his time fighting criminal elements and supporting EOTH recycling operations. To reward his activities, Gliddon was promoted from Lieutenant to Captain on Year 20 Day 175.

While Gliddon felt the dedication to improvement would be looked open positively, others felt his dedication was in fact a detriment to the organization. While EOTH originated as a band of mercenaries fighting against deceit and corruption, it had become more oriented towards production and transportation. Gliddon had not signed up to work for near free doing transportation work and slowly a rift began to develop between the Grand Admiral and the EOTH Captain.

==Taking the 5th==

Gliddon initially was politically was not affiliated with any of the Chiss Houses, he had not wanted to align himself with any one House and believed in the Chiss people as a whole. However, his time with Grand Admiral Togl and promises of even further House promotions was tempting and so he finally declared for the 5th House, [[House Ar`Togl]].

While the decision had seemed to be forthcoming considering he was working within EOTH, behind the scenes unbeknownst to Gliddon, the move had political ramifications as the Houses were jockeying for power in what was shaping up to be the final days of the 6th Chiss Ascendancy. After making the decision to join the 5th House, Aristocra Reius began displaying outright hostile behaviour, angry at being spurned advances he made to Cong to join his house and heightened by what appeared to be growing insanity. Cong soon began to learn not all was well and a collapse was imminent.

=Descent=

Years of atrophy caused by the occupation of Csilla caused the 6th Ascendancy to be unable to rise to the new challenge of governing.

==Rotting core==

Despite years overseeing the Chiss Ascendancy, [[Reius Rothschild]] proved to be an incompetent and vindictive owner of the Chiss Ascendancy faction. The term leader would not apply to his reign as he was wholly unsuitable for the position he found himself in. Cong had developed a rivalry with Reius has it was clear that not only was the New Republic an impediment to the Chiss people, Reius also was not the right leader. Soon Cong found himself publicly demanding Reius removal from power. With more Chiss Ascendancy citizens seeing the failures of the previous 6th Ascendnacy regime and the opportunities with the Empire now in control of Csilla and the Ascendancy, Reius would be found of unsound mind and was eventually removed from his position by Emperor Seele.

==Stale Bread==

During the revolution that brought about the 7th Ascendancy. Cong left EOTH and became a citizen in employment of the new Chiss Ascendancy. EOTH had become a shell of itself and did not live up to the promise it once held. Information had been revealed that the 5th House and EOTH were complicit in the failings of Reius and the 6th Ascendancy. Further, having been passed over repeatedly by Admiral Togl for promotion, despite promises being made, Cong felt he would be better in service of the Chiss Ascendancy after his trust was betrayed by an old friend for political purposes. The decision was difficult to make as Cong had developed and learned a lot but ultimately the situation was clear that the EOTH was no longer a vehicle for growth of Cong or the Chiss people but was shackled to the old failed ways.

=The New Ascendancy=

The new Ascendancy marked a new era of Chiss politics, but old political problems remained and new ones fermeting. Csilla was now liberated from the control of the failed New Republic and a new leader was established that wiped away the old order included previous houses and implemented a regime.

|}
==Nightstalker==

Having experienced the failures of the past regime, Cong entered an election to lead one of the three new Chiss House charters issued by the Chiss Ascendancy. The campaign was run under the name of Nightstalker, after a viscous creature Chiss historically hunted in the past and was symbolic of the intention to form a house based on hunting and combat. Cong finished 3rd in the election and set out to create the 3rd House of the 7th Ascendancy.

===The flame ignites===

The first recruit into the new house was close friend [[Mechna Yerikov]] and together they found other like minded Chiss to join them. After period of collaboration, on Year 21 Day 291 the group of 5 launched [[House Csohn]], from 'Csohn k'tici' which translates into Red flame in Cheunh. The house set out ambitious goals to build and Cong was elected to lead the House into the future. The Chiss was very proud of this new position and believed in the future of the 7th Ascendancy.

===Rising Influence===

House Csohn, while numerically smaller set out as active in the initial stages of reconstruction of the Csilla system with Aristocra Cong tearing down facilities to help get the 7th Chiss Ascendancy on its feet. For the first quarter of the new 7th Ascendancy, Cong spent his time at Csilla tearing down buildings and building others. During this period, the House consolidated its ideas and planned to build a production hub in the outer mid rim. The goal was to produce goods to make available to Chiss at a discount and have region hunting expeditions.

===House Inc===

Following the initial work on reconstruction, Gliddon sought out to fulfill the elected mandate of House Csohn and began to embark on building up production capacity to build combat equipment to facilitate growing the militaristic culture of the Csohn family. An initial hub was built at a secret location with production coming quickly online. Established to be self sustainable, it was build with only inputs from recycled craft and discounted minerals from allied House members. The low costs would translate into below market costs for Chiss citizens. The rapid growth of the economic activity soon became a bone of contention as others felt the Csohn House was becoming too powerful and may divert Chiss to their non-faction enterprises. Despite repeated assurances the goal was to assist and not recruit people out of the Ascendancy, lobbying by Csohn opponents continued.

===Killing in the name of===

Part of building the new culture for [[House Csohn]] a hunt was organized and with fellow house members, Cong assisted Csohn Blood and friend [[Prard`arck inrokini]] to take down a Rathar, a symbol of the new big game hunting culture the new 7th Ascendancy House would carry forward. Members of House Csohn took on multiple hunts, becoming adept at taking down even the biggest of creatures, taking on the killing prowess similar to that of Nighthunters, their original namesake.

==Politics, politics, politics...==

Despite the liberation of the Chiss from the New Republic occupation, the emerging politics of the Chiss people was defined in the early era by the politics playing a role in breaking apart the initial rebirth.

===Unsound Ground===

The focus Cong had on his House left him initially blind to the swirling political interests of other Houses. While Csohn was developing, other Houses took notice and began to make false claims about the goal of House Csohn. Constitutional negotiations ground to a halt as diverging opinions on the document and vision of the Ascendancy took hold despite the advanced stages of negotiations. Despite progress and near completion, the Chiss Constitution was shelved by the Grand Syndic. After many months of negotiations, it became clear to Cong that work had been done to undermine the Aristocra and intentionally fermented conflict to spike negotiations.

===Dissolution===

Following relentless political attacks, Grand Syndic Thresk eventually dissolved the Council of Families and removed official status from all Chiss Houses, a move which caused much friction and dissent. Gliddon was torn between loyalty to the Ascendancy, and the work put into House Csohn but after consultation with House members and out of loyalty, they decided to accept the dissolution but continue onwards. Despite the end of the official status, House Csohn continued to meet to sharpen their skills and enjoy hunting big game. Free from the negative politics, the House continued to meet once or twice yearly to enjoy fraternal moments of testing oneself against vicious creatures.

Despite his aptitude for combat, and under significant family pressure, Gliddon declined to join the ranks of the local garrison and decided to return to Formac to train under his parents to take over their colonial practice.

===Life on Formac===

The Csilla system and by extension the Chiss people have long suffered under several masters and early periods of internal strife. Gliddons parents had left Csilla due to simmering political turmoil prior to his birth and he was born as a colonial on the planet Formac, then the smallest of the Chiss colonies. His parents treated those who were on the frontier of the Chiss society, and developed a reputation as solid practitioners.

The [[New Republic]] occupation lead to a period of stagnation in the Csilla system. There were small spurts of development, a few disjointed expansions but with Csilla already positioned outside the galaxy was largely ignored. Many Chiss left Csilla to pursue wealth or adventure as the New Republic refused homerule by the Chiss over their homeland. The decay was lead to Formac largely being undeveloped during Gliddons early years. He spent many hours roaming the wilderness near his family ranch hunting for local prey, developing an affinity for the practice.

==New Landlord==

Years of decay left the New Republic open to espionage due to internal corruption. The Empire managed to swiftly take control over the New Republic defenses and the garrison at Csilla capitulated without a fight leaving The Empire to assert domain over the former New Republic outpost. Cong, recently graduated from the academy on Csilla was at Mek Va Uil during the period of transition on Csilla. He had expected to return after his vacation to Csilla but the transition and turmoil at Csilla lead Gliddon to change his mind to join the Empire of the Hand, a new salvage combat outfit.

==Where the hand guides==

The lure of action and wealth was too tempting of an offer for Gliddon to pass up so on his 21st birthday, Year 21 Day 79, he struck out on his own. Following the turmoil at Csilla, the opportunity to seek adventure was too much to overcome. Disappointing his parents, he signed up for the [[Empire of the Hand]], a combat oriented recycling faction run by Grand Admiral Grevendar Togl. Togl had a reputation as a competent leader and EOTH had undertaken several operations that garnered renown. Among the Chiss EOTH had developed itself into a competent battle organization. Gliddon believed serving in EOTH would both serve the Chiss people and satiate lust for combat.

==Learning the Ropes==

They days were long and consistent, dodging asteroids in pursuit of bandits. Gliddon preferred the y-wing, an older well travelled model fighter but reliable. Also, it had a dual seat which Gliddon would get into cockpit fights with his co-pilot and then heal them. His deft hands and penchant for trouble in his youth paid off and his slicing skills developed quickly with many bandit ships turned over to EOTH as bounty.

Gliddon took to this new role in the galaxy with great zeal, his first 100 days were one filled purpose and with his activity being exemplary he rose quickly through the EOTH ranks, splitting his time fighting criminal elements and supporting EOTH recycling operations. To reward his activities, Gliddon was promoted from Lieutenant to Captain on Year 20 Day 175.

While Gliddon felt the dedication to improvement would be looked open positively, others felt his dedication was in fact a detriment to the organization. While EOTH originated as a band of mercenaries fighting against deceit and corruption, it had become more oriented towards production and transportation. Gliddon had not signed up to work for near free doing transportation work and slowly a rift began to develop between the Grand Admiral and the EOTH Captain.

==Taking the 5th==

Gliddon was politically was not affiliated with any of the Chiss Houses, initially he had not wanted to align himself with any one House and believed in the Chiss people as a whole. However, his time with Grand Admiral Togl and promises of even further promotions was tempting and so he finally declared for the 5th House, [[House Ar`Togl]].

While the decision had seemed to be forthcoming considering his working within EOTH, behind the scenes unbeknownst to Gliddon, the move had political ramifications as the Houses were jockeying for power in the final days of the 6th Chiss Ascendancy.

=Descent=

==Rotting core==

==Stale Bread==

During the revolution that brought about the 7th Ascendancy. He left EOTH and became a citizen in the new Chiss Ascendancy. EOTH had become less active and did not live up to the promise it once held. Information had been revealed the 5th House and EOTH were complicit in the failings of Reius and the 6th Ascendancy. Further, having been passed over by his superior officers for promotion, despite promises being made, Cong felt he would be better in service of the Chiss Ascendancy.

=The New Ascendancy=

The new Ascendancy marked a new era of Chiss politics, Csilla was liberated from the control of the failed New Republic and a new leader was established that wiped away the old order included previous houses and implemented a new house regime.

==Nightstalker==

Having experienced the failures of the past regime, Cong entered an election to lead one of the three new Chiss House charters issued by the Chiss Ascendancy. The campaign was run under the name of Nightstalker, after a viscous creature Chiss historically hunted in the past and was symbolic of the intention to form a house based on hunting and combat. Cong finished 3rd in the election and set out to create the 3rd House of the 7th Ascendancy.

===The flame ignites===

The first recruit into the new house was close friend [[Mechna Yerikov]] and together they found other like minded Chiss to join them. After period of collaboration, on Year 21 Day 291 the group of 5 launched [[House Csohn]], from 'Csohn k'tici' which translates into Red flame in Cheunh. The house set out ambitious goals to build and Cong was elected to lead the House into the future. The Chiss was very proud of this new position and believed in the future of the 7th Ascendancy.

===Rising Influence===

House Csohn, while numerically smaller set out as active in the initial stages of reconstruction of the Csilla system with Aristocra Cong tearing down facilities to help get the 7th Chiss Ascendancy on its feet. For the first quarter of the new 7th Ascendancy, Cong spent his time at Csilla tearing down buildings and building others. During this period, the House consolidated its ideas and planned to build a production hub in the outer mid rim. The goal was to produce goods to make available to Chiss at a discount and have region hunting expeditions.

===House Inc===

Following the initial work on reconstruction, Gliddon sought out to fulfill the elected mandate of House Csohn and began to embark on building up production capacity to build combat equipment to facilitate growing the militaristic culture of the Csohn family. An initial hub was built at a secret location with production coming quickly online. Established to be a self sustainable hub, it was build with only inputs from recycled craft and discounted minerals from allied House members. The rapid growth of the economic activity soon became a bone of contention as other Houses felt the Csohn House was becoming too powerful and may divert Chiss to their non-faction enterprises.

'''''Cong`liddo Nollaig''''' professional alias Dr. Cong, core name Gliddon, is a [[Chiss]] [[:Category:Males|male]], born Year 0 Day 79 to a wealthy family of doctors on the Chiss colony of Formac. Gliddon was expected to follow in his parents footsteps by taking over the family practice. Instead, he chose to embark on a journey of adventure and on Year 21, Day 79 he set out from Mek Va Uil to make his mark on the galaxy.

=In the beginning=

''Private schools and unlocked doors''

==Formative Years==

Cong`liddo Nollaig was born on Formac, a small Chiss colony in the Csilla system. Gliddons family were well to do doctors that serviced the planet. Dr. and Mrs Cong served in many local charity and community roles, and while the upbringing was actually rather comfortable considering the turmoil the Chiss people had experienced early on and Gliddon often found himself in the role of troublemaker throughout his years. His family wealth provided him upbringing allowed him to attain the best private schools in the system that the Chiss could offer and yet a habit of breaking into the headmasters chambers, found him moving from school to school, rather involuntary.

The period of life at preparatory school was done with mixed results, there were several unproven incidents where Gliddon had been considered the prime suspect in a break and entry into headmasters quarters but it was never proven. After several undeclared expulsions from more academic schools, shortly after the New Republic took over governance of the Csilla system his parents felt comfortable enough to send him off world to train in a military academy.

Gliddon found himself thriving in the Csilla military academy and while he initially was trained as doctor his steady hands allowed him to thrive as a combat pilot. Despite his aptitude for combat, and under significant family pressure, Gliddon declined to join the ranks of the local garrison and decided to return to Formac to train under his parents to take over their colonial practice.
