Legend

the owner of MK Enterprises and the Greel Wood Logging Corporation, Meysen Kayson was able to appease the local Imperials enough to keep them off his planet, Pii IV. He maintained his greel logging operation and was able to support an Alliance training facility and safeworld for Alliance recruits. Kayson also owed a sizable portion of Kwenn Station. At the height of the Galactic Civil War, Meysen was 121 years old, originally born on Corulag. He spent much of his life in unsavory lifestyles, but his experiences helped form him into a determined individual. While on Tatooine, he took an alien orphan and raised him to adulthood. The alien took the surname Kayson as its own, and became the owned of Kayson's Weapons Shop in Mos Eisley. Meysen himself was a vocal opponent of Emperor Palpatine, and spent much of his later years avoiding the Empire. In order to help overthrow Palpatine, Kayson used much of the profit from his corporate holdings to fund the Alliance.
