Doctor Gres'cha Vix-Dor Chi XXII, Xenologist

Alias: Bast-Anon Shebba (Trianii)
Alias: Bin Kaba Tot (Human)
Alias: Gravoobattac (Wookie)
Alias: Kannna (Hutt)

	Few people know of Bast-Anon's secret. In fact, there 
is a lot about the person behind the Tranii face that a lot of 
people don't know. Bast-Anon is not truly a Tranii, nor has any 
of the faces that have been worn over so many years been the true 
one. 

	Bast-Anon is a Shi'ido, a race of people that can change 
shape at will. This is limited only by the mass of their bodies 
and age, and is topped of by a telepathic image they implant to 
complete the illusion. In true form they appear white skinned and 
hairless, humanoid. Outsiders know little to none about the Shi'ido 
race, in fact when outsiders visit the homeworld, they often turn 
into trees and rocks and wild beasts to rid their planet of them. 
They are a very private race. In fact the truth of the matter is 
the Shi'ido are keeping records, in detail about every other race 
and other interesting facts of note about the known and unknown 
galaxy, which they store in huge memory rods at the core of their 
planet. Most members of the Shi'ido race are  xenologists, exploring 
and recording the galaxy, and only come home to mate and return memory 
rods when a suitable transport cannot be found, those who stay behind 
are the keepers of the great library, and consider it a duty to keep 
those who are being studied from finding out about it. So they refuse 
at all times to speak of their culture. Aside from being able to change 
shape at will, another item of note about Shi'ido race is that they breed 
asexually, and they possess no sex, unlike most other races. In this way 
the Shi'ido people essentially immortal. Each new generation carries on 
their parent's name, as well as their memories, which become unlocked 
in maturity. Each Shi'ido name is actually signifying a number multiplied, 
as Gresh'cha is it's name, while Vix meaning five and Dor meaning Million, 
it's name is actually Gres'cha the five million and twenty second. In 
order to keep the Shi'ido from dying, they recognize they need to change 
constantly their genetic makeup, and they can at some level change 
themselves that way physically. Also, there may be many of the same 
mind alive at once, as they do not die for at least 100 years after 
their gestation period. Most Xenologists will almost never give out 
their true identity to any other than another Shi'ido. However, under 
dire circumstances the truth, but never the whole truth can be reveled. 
Some actually venture out into the world as Shi'ido and let it be know 
that they are shapechangers, but they are few and far between.

	Doctor Gres'cha was born to Doctor Gres'cha Vix-Dor XXI, and from 
birth, like all of the Gres'cha's raised to someday take on the form of 
it's assigned race and observe and record all that is found out. Like all 
Gres'cha, it was force sensitive from birth, not unlike much of it's species, 
who seems to have an unusual amount of force adepts, most likely from intense
 genetic reconfigurations. When it reached maturity and training for it's 
first assignment was complete, it took on the form of Kannna, a female Hutt, 
and spent fifty years recording the lives of Hutts. But it grew bored, they 
seemed only interested in power and were a most disgusting form to hold and 
maintain, though it was most complicated, Gres'cha was highly skilled in making 
higher mass creatures than most of it's other training-mates. So it asked to 
be changed to a much more interesting and enlightening race, the Wookie, who 
have only recently been freed from slavery, and consider honor a part of daily 
living. This time it took on the form of Gravoobattac, a male Wookie. Again 
disillusioned by that race by it's stunning brutality despite it's valued 
friendship, Gres'cha returned home again disappointed and early. This time 
the governing librarian counsel set Gres'cha for the Trianii Systems. There 
Gres'cha, under the name Bast-Anon, a female Trianii, finally found what it 
was looking for. Bast-Anon during her travels there met one of few Jedi that 
came back, a Jedi Counselor of the name Keefan Vhab. Though it was aware of 
the force at all times, and have heard mention of the famed Jedi Gres'cha had 
never seen one in real life before and was instantly entranced by their ease 
of manipulating force. So Gres'cha changed direction once again and began to 
follow the leads of the Jedi, observing those that would soon follow the way 
of the Jedi from a distance Gres'cha also sensed the dark side users, the ancient 
Sith, in the Empire's plans. So Gres'cha took on the form of Bin Kaba Tot, a male 
human rebel, and fought against the Empire. Gres'cha was there when Skywalker 
defeated his father, at the rebel base. Gres'cha afterwards decided to go 
back to Bast-Anon and continue her observations as a wandering warrior 
priestess missionary among the galaxy. Though her goal is to balance the force
as her religious faith demands it.

However, Gres'cha decided to hone it's own natural force talents and perhaps 
next generation it will become a new Jedi Knight, and the generation after 
that become a Sith Lord. Gres'cha loves to collect artifacts from the worlds 
it wanders, and the Library is proud to have them, and in the inner sanctum 
of the library where all Xenologist keep their family homes there is a proud 
collection of such artifacts which Gres'cha has managed to ship back home, 
including droids, artwork, vehicles, weapons and other miscellaneous stuff. 
Gres'cha views other races as interesting, perhaps amusing, but like most 
Shi'ido as perhaps lower level life forms than themselves.
