Bit late with my response due to work and other RL things, but thanks for the kind review! I'm glad you liked him!

What type of unit did he serve in? 
[/quote]

Regular infantry. Kopris' father was a very determined man, but not too exceptional of a solider.

My question here would be where did he work then? I'm assuming a high class hospital? And if that's the case how did he get a job there if he had a relatively low position in the social ladder? Merit alone? Did he make friends during his education. etc 
[/quote]

Mixture of both. While he was born in the lowest echelons of society, being raised to the higher levels at such a young age allowed him to make friends with higher society, without the same level of sneering that his parents received. Those connections, coupled with his merit, allowed him to get his foot into the door of a high class hospital and provide for his family. Though it wasn't enough to embed him firmly in the hospital and prevent him from being cut.

Why was he shipped of to the SIU? I'm assuming because of his medical experience? 
[/quote]

Medical experience,general intelligence, and high scores on tests. I imagine the Hegemony has a test similar to the USA's ASVAB, which indicates aptitude for the military and scoring higher opens the door for better positions.

I wrote the CS well into 4am several times, and my fingers would wander. I didn't catch this one in my tired stupor. :p It's meant to say 'Hegemony space'.

[quote=@Xanadu]
Why did he get transfered? Was it kind of an all hands on deck situation?
[/quote]

Yes. Order had largely been restored to the Hegemony by this point, and now was the first major strike against the Alliance that they could do. Plus, they were planning on an extended offensive in the Verge against the Alliance, and they wanted to get as many deniable units as they could into there for that purpose. 

[quote=@Xanadu]
Was he not allowed to return to his family during this time? 
[/quote]

No. The Hegemony felt its resources were spent better in other areas, rather than shipping a soldier quietly back to Kar'Shan only to send him back a few months later.

Why did he replace it with the black one?
[/quote]

Most Batarians will know the significance of the white marble, and begin to question what someone who had sacrificed so much for the Hegemony was doing on random merc jobs in the terminus systems. That would lead inevitably to the revelation of Kopris' desertion and betrayal of his unit, which would only lead to complications that Kopris doesn't want to deal with. Easier to have the black, unassuming, one.
