Description: To answer Darth Valtryx's need for a servant to carry out her bidding, she hired engineers to recreate the enhanced droid body of General Grievous. They at first offered to build in a droid program to avoid the need for a sentient being to use the body, but she promptly refused. She wanted an actual servant of the sith to make use of the body, someone with conviction who could make the decisions and achieve the things a simple droid could not. Therefore Kerrega, a Khaleesh longing for the revenge against the Dark Jedi who killed his tribe, was chosen. She offered him the chance to become just like Grievous, who is deity in Khaleesh culture. With minimal hesitation he accepted, and after the necessary surgery he was placed in the body.
The body is an almost-exact replica of Grievous', with only tiny variations in shape and structure. It still features all of the same details; a slim metallic body, cybernetic arms that can split to reveal four arms, legs that end in claws to allow attachment to surfaces. Despite not needing it, the mask uses a breathing apparatus, mainly so Kerrega can mirror being able to live with no oxygen, specifically in space. This is not unlimited however, as the oxygen stored inside his body will not sustain him for longer than five minutes. It should be noted that the body collects oxygen when it is available around, storing it for any possible need.
In terms of strengths, the body allows Kerrega (now known as Calamitous) to excel in close combat. He has greatly increased strength and speed, which as shown when testing his abilities against Darth Ferus can allow him to withstand even the higher skilled force users. Grievous was famous for his role as a Jedi Killer, and Calamitous was created to do exactly the same. However, the amount of cybernetic replacing his organic material means he can no longer use the force, and is also susceptible to force powers such as force push, which could easily move him, and force lightning, which could conduct through his frame. Although the force is now his weakness, he has the ability to wield four lightsabers, which makes him a deadly opponent in blade combat. Even if he lacks the skill and training in such style of fighting, his sheer ability to overload the enemy with attacks makes him a force to be reckoned with when close. Blasters are little use when against his lightsabers, but if they ever do hit his body it is not strong enough to fully withstand the bolt.
