Timeline/Chronology:

3659–3652 BBY (Age 0–7) | Birth and Early Environmental Assessment

Zylia Vashara was born within a Core-adjacent jurisdiction under routine Sith overseer surveillance cadres, flagged early for Force sensitivity and unusual emotional containment. Developmental assessments recorded a contained Force presence, registering as sustained internal pressure rather than outward manifestation. Behavioral observations emphasized emotional control, attentional focus, and low impulsivity in response to stress. Family structures were reviewed and deemed stable, compliant, and suitable for long-term institutional access. Oversight authorities determined that early intervention was unnecessary, favoring passive surveillance and environmental shaping. No containment or corrective action was authorized during this phase.

3652–3645 BBY (Age 7–14) | Sith Academy Induction and Doctrinal Conditioning

Zylia was inducted into Sith Academy training at the standard age threshold for formal instruction. Curriculum emphasized hierarchy enforcement, doctrinal inevitability, and the framing of dominance as a stabilizing force rather than indulgence. Performance evaluations documented rapid ideological assimilation with minimal resistance or disciplinary correction. Competitive exercises revealed preference for precision, efficiency, and outcome control over overt aggression. Force development remained disciplined, with emphasis on restraint and accuracy. By age fourteen, Zylia was identified as a candidate for direct apprenticeship.

3645–3633 BBY (Age 14–26) | Apprenticeship and Controlled Power Cultivation

Zylia was accepted as an apprentice under Sith Lord Seluun Marrik following evaluation of doctrinal reliability and adaptive capacity. Training emphasized calculated application of power, strategic patience, and consistency under pressure. The master–apprentice relationship favored structured testing over chaotic provocation, reinforcing obedience as a foundation for authority. Zylia demonstrated steady expansion of operational competence while maintaining strict compliance with hierarchical expectations. Ambition was expressed through refinement of outcomes rather than challenge. Retention was justified through reliability, efficiency, and ideological clarity.

3633–3627 BBY (Age 26–32) | Elevation to Sith Lord and Independent Power Consolidation

Elevation to the rank of Sith Lord was authorized following confirmation of independent operational success and doctrinal alignment. The transition removed protective oversight and subjected Zylia to immediate peer scrutiny. Authority was recognized procedurally, without ceremonial endorsement or institutional sponsorship. Zylia consolidated influence through disciplined network construction and controlled suppression of dissent. Expansion favored minimal exposure and predictability rather than intimidation. Institutional monitoring recorded stable growth without disruption to the surrounding hierarchy.

3627–3623 BBY (Age 32–36) | Apprentice Acquisition and Strategic Succession Positioning

Zylia accepted Cale Oldin as an apprentice following targeted evaluation emphasizing obedience, precision, and psychological containment. Instruction prioritized clarity of hierarchy, impulse suppression, and execution without hesitation. Ideological divergence from Darth Seluun Marrik increased as Zylia’s interpretation of efficiency and inevitability eclipsed her master’s authority. Preparatory measures proceeded in strict adherence to protocol, avoiding premature deviation. Influence vectors were adjusted to limit collateral instability. Succession readiness was internally assessed as inevitable.

3623–3621 BBY (Age 36–38) | Master Termination and Darth Ascension

Zylia initiated a formal challenge against Darth Seluun Marrik under conditions engineered to minimize disruption and external scrutiny. The confrontation resulted in the confirmed termination of her master. Succession followed without contest following verification and asset transfer. Zylia assumed the title of Darth in accordance with Sith hierarchy protocols. Immediate reassessment by rival actors intensified. No counteraction or censure was authorized.

3621–3621 BBY (Age 38–38) | Active Darth Status and Ongoing Operations

Darth Zylia Vashara remains active within the Sith hierarchy, operating under sustained scrutiny and unresolved rival evaluation. Current operations emphasize doctrinal enforcement, controlled expansion, and disciplined apprentice development. Authority is maintained through predictability and inevitability rather than spectacle. Cale Oldin’s progression continues under continuous assessment. Several external and internal vectors remain open. Status is recorded as active and ongoing.
