Hiram Drayson

Hiram Drayson was a human male from Chandrila, known as a military commander and intelligence administrator.

During the Clone Wars, Drayson was the head Admiral of the Chandrilan Defense Fleet, but was replaced by a Palpatine appointment. When Chandrila was brought to heel under the Imperial Starfleet, Drayson was contacted by Mon Mothma, who he had come to know during his service in the Chandrilan Defense Fleet. Mothma offered Drayson a role in the military leadership of the new Rebel Alliance.

As the Alliance transitioned into the New Republic, Drayson was placed in command of the Coruscant defense fleet and then tasked with the retrieval of the Katana fleet during the Thrawn Crisis. Later, Drayson's command experience, strategic mind and extensive contacts made him the ideal candidate for the head of Alpha Blue.

After decades of service in the New Republic Intelligence aparatus, years that earned him the nickname "Old Ghost of Coruscant", Drayson retired from service and married Joi Eicroth. Their marriage was shortlived, but produced a single child, Bhindi Drayson.
