Simone Drake, known as Piper only to a select few, first entered the business arena as a Systems Analyst for the Corporate Sector Authority's Research and Development division about two years after the Battle of Endor. She quickly became VicePrex of the division, but days after her promotion, she was kidnapped off of the GDIStar station by an Imperial — Sabbathius Osbourne. It was inopportune that Dillon wasn't around to keep the warring factions in check. Simone was appointed Prex to keep the situation from escalating while the Legal Division prepared to take their case against Solo to trial.
