Dan placed Greg as 2IC of Zone Supplies Limited, giving him full access to the company and it's contents. It was a poor site, the company barely able to keep itself afloat. Money was needed quickly so Greg began an audit to see where money could be saved and where it could be made. As he done this he found that the companys unique items, which no other faction had the blueprints too, had been given to eXile factories. Still bitter about the blow they had given the Chiss Ascendary, Greg advised Dan to retract the blueprints and begin charging for their use. This seemed to be a good way of getting some much needed cash that was needed to revive the fallen company.

Quickly agreeing, Greg and Dan pulled the blueprints off the factories. Moments later, complaints were sent to them that the factories were no longer producing.

Childhood

Born in the slums of the Moridebo district on Coruscant, Greg was the bastard child of Anthony Black and Sharna Granger. His parents, unable to decide whose surname their child should take, decided that both of their surnames will be included. Thus, Greg was registered on the Coruscanti birth registry as Greg Black-Granger.

With the little money his parents had, they booked a flight upon an AA-9 transport to the planet Kathol. Travelling for 3 weeks, they arrived at their destination and joined the worker camp as they challenged for living permits. His father began work on a local mine whilst his mother looked after the young Greg.

It took four years for the living permit to granted, at which point Greg had already began pre-school on the camp. The change unsettled Greg who began misbehaving in his early years of school.

His misbehaving caused his teachers to ignore his education, leaving him to do what he wanted as long as he didn’t interrupt his classmates. His education didn’t help when it was found out that his mother had been having an affair with a Chiss, which had resulted her baring his child. This spilt his family up and he lived with his father for most of the time, visiting his mother on the weekends. Greg had never blamed his parents for their break-up or even his half-brother, Daniel Black-Granger. His mum had decided that Daniel would keep the surname of Black-Granger even though Anthony Black wasn’t his father, instead saying “He would have been called that if I had gotten away with it”.

When he turned fourteen that he realised that unless he changed he would end up like his father: working in the mines for pitiful wages. He began settling down in lessons and attempted to catch up with his class, where he was three years behind.

It was too late. He failed to require the grades needed to enter the local college and thus ended up working for Kathol Mining Corporation. Greg worked with the company for a month, not finishing the companies training courses. He began falling into the Granger family way, drinking every night and working to pay for the alcohol.

His mother was the one that got him out of the taverns. She gave him a choice of rejoining the Mining Corporation or joining a company of his choice. Not believing her, Greg brushed aside the threat. When she brought out the applications forms, Greg went to the local recruitment office in search of a job.

At the office, he found an application to the Imperial Academy. Deciding to join, Greg filled the form out and sent if off. He got a reply after three days. Taking a shuttle to the Imperial Academy based on Kathol, Greg began taking the academy with much determination.

Empire

Imperial Enlistment

He was orginally in Class 2, comprised of seven other individuals. Within a week, Greg was transferred into an individual class after proving he wasn't like the average student. For two months Greg attending lectures, practiced fieldcraft, learnt how to pilot ships and ceremonial duties. Sitting down for his final exam, he achieved an overall score of 87%.

Greg now faced a choice: he had to choose a branch. Almost instantly he dismissed the Imperial Army and Navy, saying it was "too common". Instead, Greg looked to the Directorate of Imperial Intelligence. Sending his application off, Greg patiently waited for an answer back.

He never recieved one. His tutor, seeing the sort of role Greg wanted, contacted the Imperial Colonial Police. They replied back, offering a position under Kris Tan. Accepting, Greg was transported to Corellia and met up with his partner.

Together, they made a series of raids in Corellia: ending up with a total arrest count of 15. Taking his newly assigned shuttle, the Sentinel-Class 709, Greg began to take the captured personal to the Victory-class Star Destroyer Widowmaker. Enroute, he recieved a tranmission that Kris Tan had been arrested. He still doesn't know why.

Fighting for the Empire

After handing the prisoners to COMPForce officals, Greg recieved a transmission from Moff Kiltar. Sorosuub forces were attacking the sector of Mayagil, along with raids by Order of Krath pirates. Greg was to immediately head to the sector and lead Colonial Polices forces in a defensive strike.

It took Greg three days to arrive at the Colu system, where a large amount of Sorosuub forces had began their assualt. For two weeks, Greg furiously fought the hordes off. Within the Colu system alone, Greg fought on three planets before recieving a long-awaited transmission.

He had been promoted to Corporal. He had completely skipped the rank of Private First Class, a rare occurance. Along with his promotion, he recieved new orders to "calm" a rebellion on H'nemthe.

On arrival, he was briefed by a Naval Lieutenant that had been fighting in the system. The rebellion had been caused by a Krath pirate called Nomak Drome, in the hope that he could take control of the planet's government.

Quickly getting to work, Greg stopped rebellions on several cities and succeeded in arrest two of the rebellion leaders. This caught Krath's attention, who began a full-scale attack. This caught the Imperial forces by surprise, resulting in the loss of control. This wasn't until a vast amount of Krath forces were captured.

Due to his efforts, Greg was promoted to Staff Sergeant and told to return to Coruscant for a debriefing. Once there, he was instantly pointed to Thyferra and told to assist Naval forces working against the Rebel Alliance.

Teaming up with Execurus Eden and Kato Forn, the three of them helped hold the planet for a week. Their efforts failed when Lord Power betrayed the Empire, leaving a sizeable gap in the defense. The Rebel Alliance pushed their forces into this gap and succeeded in capturing the planet. As Greg began to make his escape off the planet, he found out that a Lieutenant in the 4th Imperial Fleet hadn't obayed orders to cover the gap left by Lord Power.

A complaint was sent to Naval Command but "mysteriously" went missing after Execurus Eden was captured. Greg heard of his capture after pulling out of hyperspace to recieve latest updates regarding the galaxy. Turning the shuttle around, Greg began to head back in hopes of rescuing Eden. It turned out he was un-needed, after Eden escaped a rebel frigate onto a bayonet-class light cruiser.

Returning to Coruscant, Greg headed to the Imperial Government headquarters for his debriefing. He got told to look for two Imperials to join his team; which currently consisted of himself and William Pennyworth. Rather than look at personal already in departments, Greg decided to look to the Imperial Academy. Whilst there, he took up a job as an Academy tutor specialising in COMPNOR and close-quarter combat techinques.

There he met two potential members: Edward Carter and Timothy McVale. Watching from the shadows, he observed their behaviour and skills before offically approaching with an application to join. Both accepted and joined Greg's team.

Their first mission together would be a planet-wide anti-terrorism operation on Kuat. A plan was quickly devised and after two weeks, the operation was complete with complete success. Forty rebel-terrorists were arrested and placed into COMPForce's hands for interrogation.

Due to the success of the operation, Greg was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant and granted control of the Nebulon-B Frigate "Crog's Grotto" along with a squadron of TIE-scouts. Another operation was planned for Coruscant, which was again a huge success with eighty terrorists arrested.

Shortly after the Coruscant Operation, William Pennyworth deserted. Taking pursuit, Greg captured his former-partner and put him in a arrest cell aboard "Crog's Grotto" for trial. Pennyworth never made it to trial, with the formation of the Imperial Secret Police taking up the vast majority of Greg's time.

The first Imperial Secret Police operation was in Elrood, where the Red Star Alliance and Kathol Republic were attempting a sector take-over. Greg was assigned to act as an advisor to the Second Imperial Fleet, who were struggling against over-whelming forces. Taking up an advisor/command role, Greg helped keep enemy forces at bay until he was order to man the defense of Bespin.

There he linked up with Lord Maximus Archer, a Sith that had recently rejoined the Empire. At Bespin, Greg played a game of cat and mouse with Nick Doom. Greg stalked, followed and charge at Doom's force until the attack eased off and Greg was ordered back to Coruscant.

At Coruscant, Greg recieved a promotion to First Lieutenant and a meeting with Isoldor Storm. The meeting was about a job position as Chief of Medicine for a soon-to-be released medical company owned by the Chiss Ascendary. Greg took the job, the chance to have free reign a large deciding factor. He instantly turned to Edward Carter and Timothy McVale, who he had gotten to know well and become good friends with, for help in managing the company. They agreed and after handing in their discharge papers, travelled to Csilla to begin preparations.

Chiss Ascendary

Chance of a lifetime

At Coruscant, Greg recieved a promotion to First Lieutenant and a meeting with Isoldor Storm. The meeting was about a job position as Chief of Medicine for a soon-to-be released medical company owned by the Chiss Ascendary. Greg took the job, the chance to have free reign a large deciding factor. He instantly turned to Edward Carter and Timothy McVale, who he had gotten to know well and become good friends with, for help in managing the company. They agreed and after handing in their discharge papers, travelled to Csilla to begin preparations.

Once at Csilla, Greg was carted off to the governmental houses and offically presented the rank of Director (equal to Syndic)

Darkest Hour

As Greg waited for the Chiss Ascendary to offically create Cortar Medical, with the capital awaiting transfer once the latest construction was finished. In the system of Roche, Greg led a small team moving ships around for the Chiss Navy. Leading a squadron of N-1 starfighters to the ship graveyard, Greg heard of the news that Isoldor Storm was murdered.

The Chiss Ascendary become a place of madness, with small groups forming to challenge for the leadership of the Ascendary. With the key staff of Cortar Medical scattered around the galaxy, Greg formed plans for them to unite await the outcome of what was happening. Meeting in a local bar at Roche IV, they discussed what was potentially going to happen and how they would be involved.

Everyone agreed to wait, pushing the plans for Cortar Medical back further. This would be a grave mistake. As they waited, the eXiles had managed to obtain leadership of the Chiss Ascendary and took everything of value. From capital ships to funds, the Chiss Ascendary lay in ruins for whoever would take control. Greg heard that the eXiles had taken what they thought was owed to them but he always thought it was out of greed.

A few days later, a group took the Chiss Ascendary via hostile takeover. This group was called Black Nebula. Agents enforced the change, with those that were loyal to the Chiss Ascendary scattering around the galaxy. The only plus from this was that Greg's brother, Dan, managed to achieve control of Zone Supplies Limited.

This, however, was the one postive thing from Black Nebula. With the plans of Cortar Medical destroyed, his career with the Galactic Empire unable to be revivied and all personal funds gone; Greg returned home.

He stayed there for three months, looking after his daughter and doing odd jobs around the local town. It wouldn't be until Dan contacted him asking for help with Zone Supplies Limited that he'd return to the Galactic front.

Lies and conspiracy

Dan placed Greg as 2IC of Zone Supplies Limited, giving him full access to the company and it's contents. It was a poor site, the company barely able to keep itself afloat. Money was needed quickly so Greg began an audit to see where money could be saved and where it could be made. As he done this he found that the companys unique items, which no other faction had the blueprints too, had been given to eXile factories. Still bitter about the blow they had given the Chiss Ascendary, Greg advised Dan to retract the blueprints and begin charging for their use. This seemed to be a good way of getting some much needed cash that was needed to revive the fallen company.

Quickly agreeing, Greg and Dan pulled the blueprints off the factories. Moments later, complaints were sent to them that the factories were no longer producing. An argument began between Greg and one of the former directors of Zone Supplies Limited, who had also been the second-in-command of the Chiss Ascendary. It was heated, the argument taking place via holocommunications.

Disgusted by the attitude that Zone Supplies Limited was there only to provide blueprints and nothing else, Greg released his position and walked away from the company. He got a lift from his brother, Kyp, and together they went to tidy up some family buisness.
