Taniks Marekar

"When ships fall, my friend - - there are two options: Drown, or swim under."- "T.M," Republic 'Mercenary'
Taniks Marekar, otherwise known mainly by his disguise, T.M, was a Kyuzo Engineer, who was once enslaved to work on the stations of the Urali Corp, before an unknown incident allowed him to escape from his tithe, and flee with the research alongside some of his fellow brethren. Together, they all took the name T.M and donned the same modified fatigues of the Urali Crewsmen. Now eager for revenge, the Deserters used their technical skills and "knack" for Bio-Organic technology in order to manufacture, sell, and distribute their own, upgraded versions of Urali Hardware, mainly based off blueprints of the early The G.R.A.D Units to enemies of the Urali Enterprise, usually ending up with members affiliated to that of the Grand Republic.
Not much else is known of the 'T.M's, aside from that only one is active and everpresent out and open in the galaxy at a time, while the rest fly under the radar to avoid detection. The number of the crewsmen are unknown, but the most recognizable of the group his the one present upon Fort Anaxes, who is in charge of relations and field testing for the group- whether he is the true Taniks of the deserters is unknown. Even moreso of a mystery is the mechanics with the G.R.A.D Units of the Deserters, which require steady supplies of Bacta, and extremely modified drugs such as adrenal to sustain and sedate. The name of 'Taniks' is a Kyuzo dialect translation of the word enigmatic; which leads some to believe he originated from the House of Winter upon his homeplanet.
