Early Years

Marcus Justinian was raised in an orphanage in Taanab, and never knew his parents. His orphanage supported itself through farming activities, and so he lived the simple life of the farmer growing up. To add to the meager diet served at the country orphanage, some of the residents were obliged to hunt for food in the wild. Being a decent shot and posessing good wilderness survival skills, Marcus often was sent out on hunting expeditions. On one such expedition, he was separated from the hunting party, and became lost. Spending the night in the wilderness, Marcus started a fire to keep warm and prepare food, not knowing that the area was restricted for fires. The fire attracted the attention of a small patrol of government security troopers. The platoon returned Marcus to the orphanage in their ship, and the brief experience of flying deeply impressed young Marcus. Upon turning 15, he applied to the military academy, determined to fly again in service to his government. He proved extremely proficient in piloting skills and astonavigation, and he graduated with honors from the academy.

Serving the Trade Federation

After graduating from the academy, Marcus signed on to work in the Trade Federation's Department of Logistics. He piloted cargoes and passengers around Federation space for nine months, before promotion to Flight Lead Officer. During his time as a pilot, he served on Jas Nightblade's Team Raiders and Vlasta Zmaj's Team Rum Runners. As an FLO, Marcus led his own team, Team Silent Assassins. His aptitude to many tasks was evident to his superiors, and it wasn't long before he was promoted again, first to Commanding Flight Lead Officer, then to Deputy Director of Logistics.

Acquiring Wealth

Upon entering the galaxy, Marcus began to cultivate his meager savings into a proper fortune. After a year of service in the Trade Federation, he had saved up enough funds to begin a small trading operation. Specializing in package deals of ships, droids, items and other equipment, Marcus soon had a tidy profit. He used that profit to reinvest in his trading business, and to invest in real estate as well. Today, Marcus is the landlord for Jawa Mechanic's Friend Conglomerated Industries' galactic headquarters. He has also invested in ship construction, via Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Inc. His success ensured he would never want for money. Astute traders know Marcus for his reliability in trade deals, and his undying love of Naboo-style ships, such as the J-type series of freighters. It has also been rumored that Marcus has cultivated an extensive collection of weapons. This has never been definitively proven, but he is always armed and has been known to purchase large orders of melee weapons, grenades and other explosives.
