Gershet Deyrzhion

Gershet Deyrzhion was a male Centurion of the Order of Keltrayu. He served a decades-long, multifaceted career in the Order.

Born shortly before the Great Liberation, Gershet was recruited at the age of seven and trained aboard the Sith Star alongside many of the Order's earliest Novices. Like many Centurions, he chose to specialize in. He was commissioned in 119 ABY.

Over the following four decades, Gershet served in nearly every specialty available to a Centurion. He fought alongside the Royal Army in expansionist campaigns, accompanied the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Integration as a bodyguard (and eventually as a negotiator himself), served as a Royal Guard to Queen Rin Sakaros, spent time as a Praetor-Instructor teaching Force abilities, and fought in the Tribulation.

By 151 ABY, Gershet was serving as Consul of Shest Minor. At the Consular Assembly of that year, he was the final Centurion to pledge fealty to Rayne Turgachia, Rin's niece, who had just been elevated to the rank of mirzaya.

In 156 ABY, Rin authorized the Southern Expansion Campaign, led by Vice Admiral Sir Tarse Medrego. She assigned Medrego a contingent of Centurions, with Gershet as Praetor of Expansion Fleet South. Gershet served in that assignment until mid-159 ABY, when he was replaced by Sovi Evnairis.

Gershet, by then sixty years older, was considering retirement, but Rin persuaded him to delay retiring in order to serve as a political and Order attaché to her niece, Taia Turgachia, who was scheduled to being crowned a mirzaya in mid-160 ABY and serve as a goodwill ambassador. Gershet served as a senior member of Taia's staff, and also taught her the basics of harnessing her Force powers.
