Biography

Early Life

Born on Bastion, Arik Shathis grew up on Coruscant. His father headed a leading biotechnology company, while his mother was a prominent physician. Because of his parents' profession, it was expected that Arik would enter a biomedical-related field. He dreamt of being a researcher, making major breakthroughs that would change the face of medical science. He graduated valedictorian from his preparatory school and was well-liked by his peers.

University

Arik attended the prestigious Imperial University on Coruscant. He majored in xenobiology and biotechnology, hoping to be relevant to the biomedical needs of the diverse species across the galaxy. He graduated summa cum laude with two bachelors degrees, and would recall barely beating out his close childhood friend Hiale Serros, who pursued the same fields of study and with whom he had a friendly rivalry.

Medical Career

Though he had originally intended to pursue a career in research, he chose to do a brief internship in a clinical lab at the Lamoramora Medcenter on Coruscant. Almost immediately after beginning his internship, Arik chose to change his career direction and returned to the medical college at Imperial University to obtain a degree in medicine. After completing his residency in xenobiological internal medicine he became a an attending physician at Lamoramora and would eventually specialize in rare communicable diseases. Within a few years of finishing his residency, Arik become renown as an expert in the field of communicable xeno-diseases. He became the chair of the clinical pathology department and would soon hire his old friend Hiale Serros.

Infection

Arik and Hiale were working the case of a patient with an unknown, degenerative neurological disease. The symptoms of the diseases included dysfunctional motor control, manifesting as unsteadiness at first but eventually becoming severe tremors and ultimately impacting other faculties such as vision and speech. A rare aspect of the disease was its transmission by by touch alone. It was further found that the disease could rapidly adapt and cross species.

During the management of their patient, both Arik and Hiale contracted the disease. Utilizing their shared education and the full resources of the Lamoramora medical center, the two physicians managed to develop a therapeutic treatment for the disease which would prevent transmission, but had no effect on the neuro-physical symptoms. Despite the complaints of fellow physicians, the board of the medical center refused to terminate the contracts of Arik and Hiale out of gratitude for their service to the facility. Instead, they were moved into administrative positions and would eventually jointly run the entire medical center.

Government Career

Bastion

After a decade of managing Lamoramora, Arik transitioned into government. He would eventually oversee the main continent of his homeworld, Bastion. However, as his illness progressed and it became apparent to the public that he was sick, he found himself ousted from politics for fear of inability to make his own decisions.

Tarthos

Arik left Bastion in search of a home on a recently colonized world. His search brought him to Tarthos, where he would again practice as a physician. When a viral epidemic struck, he contacted Hiale for assistance and their success in staving off a catastrophic outcome would establish them as saviors in the eyes of the local population. In the course of the epidemic, the local mayor succumbed to the disease and, as he had the experience and the population had faith in him, Arik was quickly elected as the mayor of the local government.

Aeotheran

During Dlarit Corporation

In an effort to utilize both his skills in governing as well as understanding of xenobiological disease, Dlarit Corporation offered Arik with the position of Mayor of Seng Karesh, the capitol of Aeotheran in the Orion System. The opportunity to benefit a population by both governance and medical care, in addition to the lucrative financial incentive offered by the corporation, was too much to reject, and soon after Arik relocated to the government district of Seng Karesh.

Only later was it revealed to Arik that Dlarit was a front for Clan Naga Sadow, who had expected the development of biological weaponry within rebel-run satellite facilities of the industrial district. Shathis' experience was considered necessary to identify the threat early in order to extricate the rebels. Before this opportunity arose, however, Dlarit Corporation was dissolved.

During Hidden Naga Sadow Influence

After the dissolution of Dlarit, Arik had to reinforce his popularity among the populace by an aggressive campaign in order to main his elected position without the backing of the corporation. Without Dlarity as a public influence, Clan Naga Sadow maintained its control of Seng Karesh by less obvious means. Though not open about his affiliation and holding the position of mayor as a publicly elected official, Arik maintained loyalty to his former employers and influenced public policy towards the desires of the Sadowans.
