Early Life Y-8 to Y21
WIP Tian Zen is a Zeltron Zeltron male born on Zeltros [1] . x x, he was adopted by the crew of the Chor Bahkh, a YT-1300, that answered the distress signal. This group of sentients was comprised of Koya Nim (Togorian female), Cirru Tan (Thyferran male), Tejar Quinn (Ryn male), Xi'Zen (Whiphid male), x. Maha was born at the crash site before his mother passed away. Without enough strength to relay their names to the crew, she merely named the child and passed on.
During his formative years, the adoptive parents all instilled in him a part of themselves. This varied from a sense of adventure, to presence of mind in dangerous situations, and navigation of ships and vehicles. He was fascinated by the stories and cultures of other races. A deep sense of curiosity flowed through him and helped to foster a desire to explore.
While traveling the sectors and systems, Maha gazed upon many beautiful vistas and views. He encountered a lot of different beings, technologies, places and beliefs (including the Force). There are also those that made a strong impression and helped to shape the positive and negative elements of the galaxy in Maha. These moments filled him with enthusiasm and vigor for seeking what else the systems and planets had to offer.
One of the places Maha was astonished to come across was the Krath Valley of the Nova Crystals. Located deep within Krath territory, this valley shines a radiant emerald color, even at night.

Meet up, discussion The Brilliant Blue restaurant, which is named after a large vertex deposit that was found by the owner. The restaurant is owned and operated by the Alderaanian Bashill Enth, who is also the head chef. A wide variety of food and drink is served from morning until night, including sliders, soup, steak, eggs, and ice cream.

During his late twenties, Maha was on a journey for an ancient artifact. This led him to the planet of Kenosha. Accompanying him on this adventure were two Mandalorians he had befriended, five hired guns, and some of the crew that adopted him, Tejar Quinn, Koya Nim, and Cirru Tan. Information about the artifact pointed towards a group of bandits hiding out in a cave on the western side of the planet.
As the Chor Bahkh lifted off, Maha finalized plans with Koya and the two Mandalorians. Sensors didn't penetrate the rock, so it would have to be done the old-fashioned way. The crew of 11 would be split into three groups: Aurek, Besh, and Shen. Aurek, assigned to protect the Chor Bahkh, would be led by one of the Mandalorians, Dolara Vandergraff. Under her command would be two of the hired riflemen. Tejar also stayed with the ship to ensure it didn't fly away. Maha, Cirru, and one Corellian rifleman formed group Besh. Koya, Ebeda Brangwin (the other Mandalorian), a Nautolan vibroblade user, and a Klatooinian gunslinger made up group Shen.
Touching down a few dozen meters away from the cave, Tejar had commented on how the bandits didn't open fire. It seemed they were expecting company. Not wanting to disappoint them, the ramp was lowered and the plan commenced. Once the two groups started walking towards the cave, the bandits guarding the entrance appeared to get uneasy. Glancing at each other for confirmation, Maha watched Ebeda's group move into action. As Koya and the Nautolan raced towards the entrance, Ebeda and the Klatooinian shot the lookouts in the head. Their momentary panic caused an eternal slumber.
Reaching the entrance, Koya and the Nautolan surveyed the immediate surroundings. Aside from blaster pistols on each, they had a rotating canon sitting towards the back of the cave. The bandits numbered at 12 without their two fallen comrades. Thinking he was clever, the Nautolan smirked at Koya and walked inside. She looked confused and unsure. Looking back at us as we continued towards her, I shrugged and kept moving.
Pretending to be who they were expecting, the Nautolan tried to be sly. It worked for about a minute. There were a rapid amount of shots and then silence. Pain and agony were muffled, but present. At least he took one with him.
Firing an array of shots into the cave, both groups looked to push back and suppress the bandits - finding a foothold inside. While Koya remained at the entrance to lookout, the Corellian was switched into Ebeda's group, who moved in first. Easing into pockets and crevices, they advanced and took note of two more bandit casualties. It was eerily quiet and nobody could be spotted.
Besh group brought up the rear as Shen group crept forward. Two bandits came out behind Ebeda and the Corellian. Four bandits swiftly took positions lower in the cave with one sliding in behind the rotating canon. The next few minutes were a flurry of fire and blood. Maha ran his sword through the back of the bandit in front of him, using him as a shield and shooting his ELG at any bandit that met his eyes. The rotating canon shot rapidly throughout the expanse with varying success. After Cirru dispatched his bandit, which he did easily, he looked up to find the canon swiveling right for him. Despite attempts to dodge, Cirru took a few shots to the right-side of his chest. Maha knelt down and dragged him over, so bacta could be applied.
Ebeda and the Klatooinian quickly took cover as the bandits came out. Realizing that Maha and Cirru took out the ones hiding behind them, they could focus on the four in front. The Corellian, in spite of trying, was not fast enough and took multiple shots from the canon in the chest. As he slumped to the ground, there was no question that he was lost - more ammo for someone to use, waste not.
Feeling confident and seeing that their opponents were losing members, the remaining four bandits came out, which included their leader. He must have felt chatty as he decided to ask what we wanted. A few stun grenades and heavy fire seemed like a friendly answer, which garnered them five dead members and a destroyed canon.
After the battle was over, few were left on either side. Blaster marks and cuts marred the surface of the cave walls. With only three bandits alive, they were turned in for a bounty. The ancient artifact was entirely different than expected and stowed aboard the Chor Bahkh, which Tejar and Koya took with them.
Y24: Falleen Federation
Y25: Corporate Sector Authority and Progression
Venturing further through the galaxy has brought interesting opportunities, such as becoming a Trade Federation citizen (approx. Y14 D96) and an Avance Coalition citizen (Y14 D109 - Y16 D52). When applying for his citizenship to Avance, Maha noted on his form to join House ExHilo, which is the house for culture. He was also interested in business holding shares in a variety of companies. These include: Techno Union, Horizon Corporation, Knights of the Fountain, Galactic Central Bank, Tion Mil/Sci Industries, Athakam MedTech, Drax Industries, Merr-Sonn Technologies, Myorzo Weapon Systems, Sienar Technologies, Biotech, and Cerberus Corporation.
Returning to x, Tian sought to increase proficiency with some of his secondary skills. He enlisted at an esteemed training academy in OroWood City. To help craft his ability to perceive and conceal, he was appointed Veovin, a Bothan instructor. Telanis, the Ryn instructor, was who taught him in the art of methodically infiltrating secure systems. Also attended was an intermediate medical course.
When the Corporate Sector Authority was refounded, Huppla Pasa Tisc was brought on board as one of the first factions to join the organization.
Year x Day x saw the young Alderaanian start to fulfill a great desire of his. x He filled out his entry form and registered for his first Krieg's Run race. He sent the document to Tolando Krieg, along with the 2 million credit entry fee, and was listed as a participant. The race would be the Fourth race of the Third Krieg's Run Season and took place on Year 14 Day 282. During this same time, the CryoMed Laboratories Anniversary was going to take place. The days during this month would fly by in anticipation and joy.
After a lengthy tour of exotic women and drugs, Tian arrived to a low point where pleasure and temptation were not as meaningful as before. Perhaps it was overdose, perhaps it just a numbing of senses. Going home to Zeltros wouldn't fix this. He ended up with a broken down ship, a bottle of his favorite alcohol, an aid called Suutrar, and a recording of Knockin On Ara's Door by Jax Starcred. His soul wanders space wherever the Force pushes him.
As the race of the Krieg's Run began, there was a lot of excitement.
WIP With being a part of Corporate Sector Authority (CSA) for over one year and through x, Tian had proven himself a capable and trustworthy leader.
Following the conclusion of the Kreig's Run race, x headed back to the CryoMed 4th Anniversary celebration. There were many points on the estate for guests to visit, which included a waterfall, race track, and olympic size pool. The main building was elegant and very attractive to behold. It featured the elements of Alderaanian, Corellian classic-revival, and Mid Rim Ornate architectural styles. A botanical garden was present and held species of plants, grass, and trees from all over the galaxy. The celebration was concluded with the annual Kheedar Ball on Day 300. Maha danced with Meredith, the most beautiful attendant that had served him on the estate. They moved to the Alderaanian Waltz, Mantooine Minuet, Deesco, and Space Pirate Boogie.

Private Collection
Handing over management and ownership to a local businessman towards the end of Y16, Bashill Enth moved from the Brilliant Blue and now casually tends to the Death Shadow Cantina. There is still an impressive variety of stock found in the cabinets, which the crews under Maha Michi thoroughly enjoy. Sabacc is the game of choice when placing high-stakes wagers.

Blood Wine from Maligaant Menuk's travels
This rare drink is from a tiny island on a little known planet in the outer rim. The native inhabitants of the island make a very special wine to be drunk by any who wish to join The Seer's, the islands witch doctors. When the native acolyte that is attempting to become a Seer drinks the blood wine, they enter a nearly comatose state. Upon entering this state, they are set adrift, down a river into a dark foreboding area, which Menuk was not allowed to venture into. During this time they bleed from their eyes and utter words in an unknown dialect. If they wake from this state and return, they are accepted as a new member of The Seer's. Unfortunately for more than a few who try, the experience is a fatal one. Maligaant drew many sketches during this trek and has since had them framed.
Maha received two of the sketches: One depicting the moment when the comatose native acolyte is set adrift and the second is a portrait sketch of a Seer.
Brought back by smugglers after a fire on board their YT-1300 caused their hyperdrive to malfunction marooning them in an unknown part of the outer rim. After some convincing and trade, they were rescued by some friendly aliens who agreed to tractor their ship aboard and drop them off at a trade station. As a parting gift, they gave the smugglers a case of these bottles. The liquid in the bottles is naturally cool. The bottles have no writing of any kind and they simply call it 'The Chills'. It seems anyone that has tried the strangely cold alcoholic beverage suffers not only from very disturbing dreams but also unsettled nerves and a bad case of the chills for several days.
A very rare bottle of Toxic Whiskey, brewed and bottled from the now defunct Corellian Fire Water Distillery. This dangerous and legendary whiskey at over 191 proof, is nearly 100 percent alcohol and believed to be among the strongest whiskey's ever sold. The only known bottle left to exist and was being offered from Maligaant Menuk's private vault.

The Refuge
During his various hunts and adventures, Tian picked up a few companions. Some enjoy going along with him while others.
In addition to various fauna, a vast array of flora adorn x's fleet. The most common of these are the Bogin Tree and Nerianthus. Bogin Trees range in size from small handheld trees to taking up most of a hangar bay. They are used for meditation, producing classic furniture, and even ancient sea vessels. Nerianthus are used as a replacement lighting option in emergency situations and to help train for low- to no-light operations. Corpse Flowers can be found in rooms to commemorate fallen comrades. Maha's crew purchase a lot of their plants from Mottley-Talon.

Ancient Artifacts
Light Blue Adegan Crystal ring from Maligaant Menuk, which resonates with the Light-side of the Force.
This ring was reportedly one of the two rings found still adorning the finger of a robed skeleton in a breached facility located on a now fractured asteroid in the Cularin System. Little is known of the wearer of the ring, given his skeleton was destroyed though the crystals on the ring are cool to the touch, identified solely as Adegan crystals, most commonly used by the Jedi Order in older times. Crafted into the ring itself, the crystals can not be removed without destroying the ring and as such, would not be feasible to use in a lightsaber. Upon wearing the ring, it gives a calming affect, possibly from its previous bearer though that remains disputed by recent scholars.
Dark Red Kyber Crystal ring from Maligaant Menuk, which resonates with the Dark-side of the Force.
The second ring reportedly found on the finger of a robed skeleton in the Cularin System. After examination, the crystals on the ring are hot to the touch, identified by only some of the best jewelers as Kyber Crystals. This took additional time as the crystal was unusually red, very uncommon though Lore suggests that people of the Dark Side can bend the will of a crystal for their lightsabers as people of the Light Side are the only users of the crystal. Anyone wearing it can feel an unusual pain and anger combination, though the pain is like a prick compared to anything else. Some users of the ring have noted seeing blood flow from the crystals before it evaporates; however, they felt no pain.
