Timeline/Chronology:

3644–3637 BBY (Age 0–7) | Birth and Early Peripheral Monitoring

Markus Rez was born on Nar Shaddaa within the Red Light Sector, an environment flagged by Imperial authorities for elevated exposure to criminal activity and ideological instability. Parentage was partially unrecorded, with maternal status later listed as unconfirmed and presumed disappeared. No formal Sith lineage or sponsorship was identified. Early life assessments were indirect, relying on sector surveillance and proxy indicators rather than direct intervention. Force sensitivity was not formally classified during this period. No corrective, protective, or retrieval measures were authorized.

3637–3632 BBY (Age 7–12) | Latent Force Identification and Informal Assessment

Irregular Force disturbances associated with Markus Rez were detected through secondary reports and unregistered incidents within Nar Shaddaa’s controlled districts. Subsequent observation suggested latent Force sensitivity accompanied by aggressive dominance behaviors and territorial escalation. Imperial authorities classified the subject as a potential future asset but deferred retrieval due to jurisdictional cost-benefit analysis. No Academy placement or formal instruction occurred during this interval. Markus remained unsponsored and unprotected. Risk designation was recorded as provisional.

3632–3627 BBY (Age 12–17) | Retrieval and Preliminary Sith Conditioning

Markus Rez was formally retrieved by Sith-aligned agents following escalation in uncontrolled Force manifestations. Preliminary conditioning focused on obedience, hierarchy recognition, and suppression of unsanctioned autonomy. Records emphasized early aptitude for coercive compliance techniques and psychological intimidation. Instruction deprioritized theoretical breadth in favor of enforceable discipline and behavioral containment. Evaluators noted reliance on external authority structures for stability. Advancement remained contingent on master selection.

3627–3624 BBY (Age 17–20) | Apprenticeship Induction and Mandate Restriction

Markus was accepted as a Sith apprentice under Lord Zera Vashara through restricted registration protocols. Authority was explicitly limited to actions conducted under direct superior mandate. Training emphasized Force-based coercion, telekinetic restraint, and pain induction aligned with orthodox Sith doctrine. Independent initiative was actively discouraged. Oversight reports recorded consistent doctrinal adherence paired with escalating severity in enforcement application. Continued apprenticeship was approved without rank expansion.

3624–3622 BBY (Age 20–22) | Active Enforcement Deployment and Evaluation

Markus Rez was deployed in multiple sanctioned enforcement actions targeting ideologically noncompliant cells. Operations were characterized by rapid compliance outcomes and minimal Imperial losses. Internal reviews flagged a pattern of escalation exceeding baseline necessity while remaining within authorized bounds. Dependence on Sith patronage was formally documented as a structural vulnerability. No disciplinary action was taken. Monitoring intensity was increased.

3622–3621 BBY (Age 22–23) | Ongoing Mandated Service and Oversight

As of 3621 BBY, Markus Rez remains an active Sith apprentice assigned to enforcement and coercive compliance under Darth Zera Vashara’s authority. Residence is maintained within restricted apprentice quarters on Dromund Kaas. Authority remains mandate-bound and revocable without notice. Current evaluations emphasize operational effectiveness alongside concerns regarding overcorrection tendencies. No advancement or censure has been issued to date. Status remains under active review and subject to change.
