In an attempt to gather information on Angral ' s plans , the Republic General Var Suthra sent a young Jedi Knight and the astromech droid T7 - O1 on a mission to the base , where the two stormed the facility and hacked into their records . Loyal to the Empire even in the face of death , Marcovic sacrificed his life to destroy the facility ' s subspace transceiver in an attempt to stop the Knight from retrieving the data . Biography . A Human male , Marcovic enlisted in the military of the Sith Empire during the Cold War with the Galactic Republic , and he had risen to the rank of Lieutenant by the year 3643 BBY . He was eventually assigned to an listening post on the planet Ord Mantell , where the facility ' s personnel gathered intelligence on Republic troop movements . In 3 , 643 BBY , the Sith Lord Darth Angral contacted his son Tarnis on the Republic capital of Coruscant , as well as his apprentices Praven , Nefarid , and Sadic on other worlds . To secure his transmission , Angral ran it through several planets , including the Imperial outpost on Ord Mantell . However , when Angral witnessed his son ' s death at the hands of a Jedi Knight , he began to issue declarations of war against the Jedi Order and the Republic , seizing control of Republic superweapons in his crusade . The Republic Strategic Information Service ( SIS ) , the Republic ' s intelligence agency , was able to trace Angral ' s holotransmission back to Ord Mantell but lost it beyond that point . Angral ' s apprentices had used information gathered by Tarnis , who had been operating undercover as a Republic scientist , to seize control of several Republic superweapon projects , and General Var Suthra of the Republic Military sent the young Jedi Knight who had killed Tarnis to investigate the Ord Mantell facility and figure out Angral ' s plans . Accompanied by the astromech droid T7 - O1 , the Jedi located and attacked the base while Marcovic was stationed in the lower levels of the complex . Marcovic prepared to defend the Imperial compound along with the other Imperial soldiers and officers stationed in the facility , and the Lieutenant was the only defender left by the time the two attackers reached the listening post ' s hyperspace transceiver . The Human officer attempted to defend the transceiver with his life , battling the Knight and the droid with his vibrosword , but he was ultimately no match for the Knight ' s combat prowess and the Jedi severely injured the Lieutenant . Determined to give his enemy nothing , Marcovic refused to say anything beyond his name and rank until he realized that the Jedi ' s astromech droid was attempting to access the facility ' s records . In a last - ditch attempt to stop the enemies of the Empire , the Lieutenant threw himself at the droid in a suicidal attack and destroyed the transceiver before he was cut down by the Knight ' s lightsaber . Personality and traits . A fair - skinned Human male with black eyes , Marcovic had black hair and a small mustache . Marcovic was a proud individual and fiercely loyal to the Empire , and he despised the Jedi as symbols of the Republic . Even when fatally wounded , he refused to submit to possible questioning , only giving his rank and name to the Jedi . He then attacked T7 - O1 when the astromech attempted to access the listening post ' s records in a last , suicidal attempt to protect the Empire . Unlike the rest of the soldiers stationed at the listening post , Marcovic preferred to wield a vibrosword in combat instead of a blaster . Behind the scenes .
