With the ever increasing threat towards the Xu family from the House of the Setting Sun (later investigation revealed that Setting Sun agents had no actual involvement), Thomas took his family and fled.  Though never formally accused, Thomas reasoned no public or formal means would be involved, and assassination was the most likely prospect.

3039:
Xu Family enters self-imposed exile, fleeing to Thurrock, Free Worlds League.  Local officials expel the Xu family for undisclosed reasons.  With so few choices, they make their way to Fanardir, Magistracy of Canopus.  Each exodus costs the Xu family considerable funds, further strained by Thomas purchasing Canopian citizenship for his family.

3040:
Thomas Xu dies under suspicious circumstances.  Amanda Xu can no longer afford to maintain their family.  In the hopes that Greg may at least find some protection and avoid living in poverty, she enrolls him with ComStar.  It is assumed that Amanda Xu returned to New Roland shortly thereafter, but no evidence to her location has ever surfaced.  Greg was sent to Canopus IV for training as an Acolyte Alpha.

3045:  
Mandatory 'Martial Aptitude Tests' reveals Greg to be of moderate trained skill, with a great potential of natural aptitude.  Further testing and training qualify him for a transfer from the Alpha designation to that of Epsilon (formerly Acolyte V Alpha, promoted to Adept).

3047:
ComGuard personell on Canopus IV feel that Greg has exceeded the available training at Canopus IV and request his transfer to SRMA.  He is enrolled as part of the Holy Order of Sandhurst and is transferred to Terra.

3050:
With the coming of the Clans, several classes of SRMA are graduated early and sent to outposts for practical training with pirate hunting forces.  His post is the various stations in the Outworld's Alliance.  After graduation, and through the course of raid defenses and hunt missions, he obtains designation of Adept V Epsilon [Full decoration details available in Referrence: Rho-44233-34].

3052:
His assignment in the Outworld's is curtailed and he is assigned as part of the task force that will defend against the Clan Ghost Bear in the Tukkayid conflict.  Reports of the first encounter are encouraging, and show that the Adept has survived up to this point.  After the second encounter, initial reports remark the Adept as KIA.  (Later shown that he was not killed, but was imprisoned by Ghost Bear.  He was taken as a bondsman initially, but proved too uncooperative and was jailed on Skandia, formerlly FRR.)

3053:
In early 3053, Smoke Jaguar issued a Trial of Possession for the prisoners held at the Skandia facility. (It is assumed the Smoke Jaguars were attempting to capture a singular,  or few specific prisoners.  Which ones in particular they appearantly did not want the Ghost Bears to know).  In a stroke of true cleverness, the Ghost Bears bid the prisoners as the pilots rather than their own Touman.  Having little choice but to accept the bid, the Jaguars faced the prospect of killing their objective(s) or retreating in humiliation.  They chose to fight, and only gave a token effort, timid and indecisive as who to shoot.  The prisoners resoundly pushed the Smoke Jaguars off planet.  Many prisoners were taken as Bondsman once again, among them was Adept Xu.  

3058:
ROM agents aiding the Ghost Bear in its efforts to pacify and govern his conquered worlds spot several people among the Ghost Bear Touman who were obviously not Clanborn.  Further research into these people reveals one to be the missing Adept Xu, presumed dead. Contact with the Adept explains his presence among the Bears.  Plans are made to extract the Adept from Ghost Bear territory.  At the time of his liberation the Adept was said to have held the rank of Star Commander within the Ghost Bear Touman. [Referrence: R19-GB-2, contains a detailed debrief by the evacuating ROM agents.  Furthermore is an evaluation and recommendation for Rho traiing for the Adept as he displayed certain techniques during his tenure with the Bears that may make him an excellent candidate for ROM.]

3060:
Much of the intervening time was spent dealing with factionalized Word of Blake fanatics.  Though the fight for Terra had since passed, conflicts of various natures sprung up between the Order and our rogue counter-parts.  During this year Adept Xu was sent with an expiditionary force to the periphery to investigate possible Blakist activity. [Referrence: RJ-44-3B-2300, sighting of possible Star League era fighter craft similar to that in possession of ComGuard, and assumed in possession of Word of Blake factionalists.]  The details of the investigation are inclusive as the expedition never returned.

[ROM-EJ38: PROFILE: Before leaving on the expedition, Adept Xu was beginning to show a waning interest in the service of our Institution.  There was no idication that he would join the Blakists, indeed there has been no sign of him among field reports.  It is expected, rather, that he would have joined the CCAF in lieu of continued service with the ComGuard. However, it is presumed he died with the expidition, who's remnants were later discovered, as he has not been found in CapCon space either.  His parting would have been amicable, and as of the filing of this profile his term of service with our Institution was terminated successfully and beneficially.]
