BiographyEdit

"Looks like we've joined the Rebellion after all. Now, how do we get at those butchers down there?"

―Godking Tristram^[src]

In 0 ABY, Abonshee was visited by diplomats of the Alliance to Restore the Republic who wanted the Anointed People to join their faction, even if the Anointed People did not even have space-level technology. During the negotiations, a damaged Imperial shuttle landed in Abonshee to perform unforeseen repairs. Thirty stormtroopers left the ship and immediately surrounded it.

Supreme monarch of Abonshee Godking Tristram wanted to know what these newcomers wanted. Tristram ordered Grissom to go there with a twentyfive-person Honor Guard and question these people. Grissom obeyed and, en route, one stormtrooper ordered him to stop. Grissom then doubted, but he eventually kept walking, showing his hand. The trooper shouted again, and then the Imperials fired on Grissom, his Guard and any civilian in range. This prompted Tristram to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic and fight the Empire.
