Legend

this aging Herglic spent much of his early career running a small transport company, based on the planet Pelagon, during the last years of the Old Republic. He was off-world when the Empire swept in to destroy the Jedi Knights on Pelagon, and returned home to find that House Pelagia had been virtually wiped out by House Mecetti. He took command of the damaged medical frigate Benevolence and began coordinating a relief effort to save Pelagon. House Pelagia recognized Melchi's efforts by officially naming him the ship's Captain, and he took up the role of supplying Tapani Sector with medical support during its struggle to throw off the Imperial yoke. The Great Council funded a complete refit of the Benevolence, and Melchi found himself in command of a state-of-the-art, floating medical facility. Unknown to the other noble Houses, though, Melchi used his status as Captain of the medical frigate to travel throughout Tapani Sector and gather information for House Pelagia.
