Mote's Thoughts

Commandant Mele-on Grayza (Rebecca Riggs) is as deadly as any PeaceKeeper. She has risen through the ranks most likely by any means at her disposal. Though she still required a direct order from PK high command to oust Scorpius from his wormhole project (made moot by the destruction of the command carrier,) she very clearly outranks him. After capturing Scorpius she tortured Scorpius, then had him shot and buried. Unbeknownst to Grayza, Scorpius survived this encounter.

Though she looks similar to Sebacians,  she also looks slightly different. This may be the result of her secret weapon- a gland she had surgically implanted into her chest which secretes 'Heppel Oil.' Heppel oil is a powerful aphrodisiac of sorts... sort of like a temporary love spell. It is unknown if this oil works on both females and males but it appears to wear off after a period of time (or a touch of lava soap.) It seems to be related to pheromones and its stench is noticeable to those not affected by it.

Grayza's approach to the Scarran threat is quite different from Scorpius'. She intends on uniting as many races as possible against the Scarrans, not to combat them, but to force them into negotiating a settlement. This approach was dismissed by Scorpius who stated that the Scarrans were sure to see it as a sign of weakness, possibly even instigating an attack.

If Grayza has a fatal flaw, it is her arrogance. Though she thinks Scorpius dead, her failure to make certain of this fact may well be her downfall.
