Legend

this man was a Colonel in the Old Republic Navy, and was stationed in the platform city of Soboll during the last years of the Republic. He spent the early part of his career trying to move quickly through the ranks in the Old Republic in order to obtain a position of power. This earned a double-edged reputation: he showed promise as an officer, but he made some enemies along the way and was regarded as a manipulative man who put himself first and foremost. When he requested a posting in the Cularin System, it was immediately approved, and he spent a great deal of his time trying to rid the Cularin System's asteroid belt of criminals. He set up a base on operations on Dorumaa, choosing his troops carefully and with an eye toward loyalty and aggressiveness. It was Tramsig who pursued Ginder when he discovered that the Bimm had possession of the head of the former protocol droid L80-RC. Shortly afterward, however, Tramsig was promoted to the rank of Admiral by the Thaereian Military, and served as their spokesman during the Thaereian build-up after Cularin's disappearance. His presence within the Thaereian Military rankled many beings, including Nirama, who regarded them as "bantha-fondling psuedo-soldiers." The true level of his involvement was exposed when the slicer known as Tiny F discovered an encrypted transmission Tramsig had made to his Thaereian commanders scattered across the Cularin System. The message demanded the complete suppression of any rebellious activity, as Tramsig feared that the Cularin resistance had gained too much strength. A later transmission was intercepted at the height of the Clone Wars, in which Tramsig revealed that his forces had secretly been controlling trade in the Cularin System for three generations. The transmission, which featured Tramsig arguing his status with an unknown superior, further revealed that the disappearance of the Cularin System was supposed to have been permanent. The transmission ended with Tramsig declaring that he would kill every being the Cularin System if they failed to comply with the wishes of the Thaereian Military.
