"What we do, is so that others may live"

— K`Crydon Katana to students of the the Imperial Medical Corps

Dr. K`Crydon Katana or The one who is alone is the Chief of Medicine for Biotech Medical. He is also a Emergency Medical Physician, and is well known for his knowledge in both emergency and battlefield medicine.

Early life

Katana was born on a refugee ship headed towards Coruscant. He was abandoned by his parents and ended up in a orphanage. Katana, unlike his friends and peers, had little to no interest in finding out who his parents were. He also did not want to get adopted. His childhood was fastpaced, as he was rushing to get into adulthood. During high school, Katana started to drink and had been busted numerous times for underage drinking. After his graduation, Katana gathered his things and boarded a ship to Corellia, in search for a job as a Bartender.

Katana worked as a Bartender for nearly four years. He enjoyed the job, but the pay was substantially low. He began to miss payments for rent, and was almost evicted from his apartment.

Katana was working a shift for a friend when tragedy struck. Right outside the cantina, two speeders had collided headon going at a high rate of speed. Everyone rushed outside to find one speeder minimally damaged with the other significantly damaged. Katana ran to the heavily damaged speeder to find the driver, a young female, entrapped and in serious condition. There was also a young girl in the back who was fatally injured as she was not restrained.

Emergency services were called upon, and Katana waited helplessly as the female died while holding his hand. Katana went home that night deeply depressed, and promised himself that he would never be that helpless in a situation like that ever again. He decided to become a EMT.

Early Medical Career

Katana enrolled in EMT school for six months. He excelled at his studies and when he finally became certified, he worked as a Emergency Dropship Medic for a local emergency medical service. This job, even though pay was still far from exemplary, was enough for him to get by and pay his rent. After two years of being a Dropship EMT, Katana decided to pursue a military career, and enlisted in the Imperial Armed Forces.

Imperial career

Katana joined the Imperial Army and was a part of the 1st Legion. There, he became the only combat medic in the Empire. The Empire previously had a medical corps, which was now defunct.

After one year of service, Katana had reached the rank of [E-10] Command Sergeant, the highest enlisted rank. Katana was appointed by Brigadier General Mintaka Kyuzo as the Imperial Medical Director for the Imperial Medical Corps. With this title, Katana began to train units from all branches on Combat Medicine. At completion of the course, Katana awarded the graduates with Combat Medic certifications.

As Katana continued his role of Combat Medic and Medical Director, he became more ane more disinterested in the life of a soldier. He soon became disgusted with the thought of killing another individual. The Empire had yet to create their own medical faction, and Katana thought of an idea. Katana drew up a plan in which he would join a medical faction for a time and gain a formal education in medicine, and later come back to the Empire with his new found knowledge. This idea was soon rejected by the Army High Command. Katana, realizing that nothing should stop him from becoming a doctor, fled imperial service.

If he had stayed in service for less than a month after he had left, Katana would have been commissioned as a Second Lieutenant.

Formal Education

Katana quickly left imperial space, and travelled to the Meridian sector, home to Biotech, which had previously been one of the most prestigious medical factions in the galaxy. There, he went to a Paramedic academy and graduated. Katana began formal education at the University of Curador, which was mainly known for its health sciences. Pursuing a major in Biology and an emphasis on Pre-Med, Katana graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology.

He worked as a Paramedic for Biotech while going to medical school part-time.

After another four years, Katana graduated from medical school and started his internship and residency at the University of Curador Medical Branch. Katana decided to pursue emergency medicine as his speciality due to his experience working as a combat medic and in emergency medical services. He had considered becoming a trauma surgeon, but he preferred to work with both trauma and medical patients in the Emergency Department.

Early Biotech Medical Career

Katana first started work at Biotech as an Emergency Room Physician after the completion of his residency. He had finally achieved his dream of helping those in need. Katana's work and determination caught the eye of Biotech owner Vee Null, as well as then Chief of Medicine, Dr.Duran Endel. The two both decided to place Katana in a higher position within the company as Medical Director for Biotech Medical. Katana took the new position with the promise of reforming Biotech to a once again major medical provider.

Dr. Endel was soon charged with larceny from Biotech Medical and was removed from his position as Chief of Medicine. Interim Biotech President, Sean Tel assumed the duties of management while the owners contemplated on who was to be the next Chief of Medicine for Biotech. Katana was nominated by Vee Null and was unanimously accepted to be the next Chief of Medicine. Katana accepted the position, becoming the sixth Chief of Medicine of Biotech.

Katana has contributed many of his personal ideas to Biotech them being but not limited to;

• Creating a communication center with dispatchers to coordinate units
• Forming an academy and adopting the University of Curador to provide education
• Requiring Certification and licensure to work on Medical Dropships
