BIOGRAPHY:

PART I: The Beginning

Chapter 1: Early Life

Ben was born in the more affluent part of Coruscant. He was born into the Craig family, which owned one of the more wealthy ship assembling facilities. Ben only knew his life of wealth. Ben's parents were strong supporters of the Empire, and brought up Ben in an Imperial household. Ben was surrounded by Imperial Ideology from an early childhood, the Empire becoming his second family. When Ben was a teenager, he joined the Imperial Academy, and because of his intelligence, and his family name, he took the fast track to Officer school.B en was a fast learner, and all his teachers admired him. Later Ben graduated from Officer school, enlisting at the rank of Lieutenant in the Imperial Army. Ben was given a personal detachment of stormtroopers to lead in battle. Ben and his men were soon deployed to deal with small rebellions and terrorist acts. He was promoted to Commander in less than a year. After the fall of the Galactic Empire, and First Order, Ben joined the Directorate, and was promoted to Rear Admiral.

Chapter 2: Organization

After a few years serving as a Rear Admiral, Ben Craig was then promoted to Admiral and given control of Renegade Squadron, a massive Expeditionary Fleet, the largest Fleet of the Directorate. Ben understood the vital need to get the Directorate to produce their own ships and resources, so he found a small time crime lord, Tony Bonaducci to create a proxy organization that manufactures products. It was called InfiniVerse. While on paper Tony owned it, Ben secretly controlled the organization. A short time after the initial release of InfiniVerse and it's subsidiaries, it was bought by N&Z Umbrella Corporation, a multimillion credit manufacture who produced ships and other items for many organizations. As InfiniVerse was folded into N&Z, Ben was given a position as a board member of N&Z Umbrella Corporation and controlled 10%. As for Tony, he was kept as a puppet for InfiniVerse. Ben was given the task of forming an elite and deadly task force. He searched all over the galaxy putting together a small team of deadly assassins. This team was under the Politorate which was a division of the Directorate Intelligence. The task force was called Task Force 66. Ben decided to focus on his naval career, so he gave up his control of the task force to Politorate Director, Jarred Ketzloff.

Chapter 3: Reformation

The Directorate fell when many of it's members left due the it's leader having opposing views to the other Board of Directors members. Ben wasn't much for rebellions or being branded a traitor, but he knew when a government was dying, and if Ben stayed, he would die with it. He decided to follow the bulk of the Directorate memberships to form a new government, a new organization, the Zweihander Union, controlled by two chancellors, former Board of Directors, Credius Nargath and Jarred Ketzloff. To fill in the gaps and reorganize the structure of the new government and accompanying military, Ben was given the rank of Fleet Admiral and a position on the War Council. True it was a sort of demotion, but he technically gave himself the Grand Admiral rank. Ben didn't care, he was still one of the highest officers in the Navy.

Chapter 4: Corporate Future

When Credius left the Confederacy of Independent Systems, he promoted Ben to CEO of N&Z Umbrella Corporation. Ben was now the most powerfulest member of the board, second of course to majority shareholder, Credius Nargath. As a gift for his promotion to CEO and to celebrate the formation of the Zweihander Union, workers at InfiniVerse and Nargath Holdings designed and created an unique Super Heavy Battlecruiser. Only one was made, named the Terminator and served as the flagship of Ben Craig. Ben now oversaw the manufacturing and selling of products especially to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. When the Confederacy of Independent Systems created a contract system for corporations to manufacture products for the faction, Credius saw an opportunity to gain a powerful spot within the CIS and a monetary opportunity. Credius submitted N&Z Umbrella Corporation for the event and instructed Ben to submit InfiniVerse.

Chapter 5: Cut Ties

When Credius resigned as Viceroy of Eridu and left the Confederacy, so did Ben. He signed over all his Confederacy and Seswanna assets. Reasons were to focus on his role as the CEO of N&Z Umbrella Corporation. With the Zweihander Union now having a footprint on Schesa, Ben spends more of his time there, going over blueprints for future products or going over battle schematics with his junior officers.

Chapter 6: Expand , Expand , Expand

The Zweihander Union started small, a revolution, but rapidly grew, expanding within the Unknown Regions. With the financial support of multiple big name corporations, the Union's military was doubled and arsenal expanded. During this age, the Zweihander Union truly prospered. With yet another reorganization of the Union's governmental and military structure to accommodate the growing number of fresh recruits joining the Union, Ben was transferred to a new branch of the Union. The Intelligence and Security Bureau or ISB. Given control of his own department, the Military Department of Advanced Weapons Research and the rank of Director, Ben resigned his seat within the war council to focus on his new role. Dedicating long hours and days to researching ways to improve the security of the Union, he wrote many articles, reports and theories that would impact the Union. The Craig Doctrine and Craig Enterprise greatly increased the funding allocated to the ISB. New branches within the Bureau were also developed under the management of the now Director Craig.

Chapter 7: Conquest

With the internal part of the Union reworked, The Union was ready to begin it's conquest and purify the galaxy. Through diplomatic missions and pinpointed strikes, planet after planet fell to the Union. Not many opposed the might of the Union, acknowledging the Union's superiority in numbers and tactics. Those foolish enough to ignore the Union's attempt at a peaceful approach were met with destruction. After those who dared to rebel against the Union were relocated to prisons or were destroyed, the Union rebuilt the troublesome worlds. Bringing peace, a better economy and justice to the lives of the people.

Chapter 8: Sabotage

The Union had been steadily increasing in size and power, it's name spreading across the galaxy. However, the Union suddenly began to change for the worst. The Chancellor of the Left became more and more unstable and corrupt. Rumors were told he had the Chancellor of the Right silently assassinated as to take complete control of the Union. Surprised at the corruptness the Chancellor had become, Ben saw it as his duty to save the Union before it became too late. He initiated several contingencies that created a civil war within the Union that lasted months. The Chancellor of the Left was forcibly removed by Ben's supporters, and the former Chancellor's supporters clashed with Ben and the Chancellor of the Right's supporters. Within a few months, the internal conflict seemed to dissipate as supporters of the Chancellor of the Left were either sent to prison labor camps, or in extreme cases, executed. Taking over, Ben made a proclamation declaring the day he defeated evil and bested corruption as a holiday for all to celebrate.

Chapter 9: Downfall

The Union had been prospering ever since the forced removal of the Chancellor of the Left and his supporters in government. Ruling with absolute control, Ben put into place policies he believed were right for the people of the Union. However, unbeknownst to him nor his colleagues, a considerable force of terrorists and supporters of the past regime banded together and fought against the Union sowing chaos and creating fear within the ranks of the bureaucracy. The rebel group grew at a constant rate each day and becoming a formidable foe. Bewildered at the chaos before him, Ben requested the aid of foreign allies such as the Eternal Empire. Fortunately, the Empire sent forces adequate enough to slow the rebel attackers who attacked embassies and other governmental buildings across all of Union territory. Zweihander Union forces were ordered to retreat into Eternal Empire space. The act of

Alli Vern helped save hundreds of thousands of civilian lives who were forced to evacuate. To stop the terrorists from taking the Union square on Schesa, he initiated the Craig Protocol, and multiple star destroyers in the atmosphere of Schesa began to orbital bombard the city of Schesa, destroying the city, the main bulk of the terrorist cell and several hundred civilians caught in the fire. Union and Eternal forces, as long as many civilians were able to evacuate safely to the Eternal Empire.

PART II: A New-Found Purpose

Chapter 1: A new beginning

Months after the disaster at Schesa and the fall of a regime, Ben suffered public shame within the Zweihander Union. Given the title, "The Lost Emperor" Ben was constantly reminded of his failure to bring peace to the Union. The Zweihander Union was given a territory within the Eternal Empire to reside and regrow. Ben left the Union and took up an offer to be the new deputy director of the Eternal Empire's covert intelligence agency, "Blackwatch". Leadership of the Union was put up for a vote by the remaining citizens of the Union and Corporate leader, Alli Vern was proclaimed leader of the Union.
