Early Years

Tsingtao was born on the planet of Mall'ordian in the Corporate Sector. His mother is one of the daughters of the Viceprex of Security for the Corporate Sector Authority while his father is the Imperial Advisor for the CSA. At age 16, Tsingtao enrolled in the CSA Security Program and became a member of the Elite Epso Unit. Two years later, Tsingtao becoming the youngest Elite Espo Officer. Some say it had to do with his family's influence in the Security division, but in reality it was due to his ruthless aggression to anyone attempting to disrupt the flow of business for the Corporate Sector.

During a routine smuggling sting, Tsingtao happened to encounter a rogue Zabrak in a Cantina on Mall'ordian. This Zabrak was accused of shipping illegal glittersticks to factory workers. Tsingtao went to confront the smuggler only to be repelled by an unseen force. This Zabrak proceeded to fend off the Elite Espo and destroyed the Cantina to escape capture. Frustrated of being thwarted, Tsingtao ordered all ports locked down until the Zabrak was found. Tsingtao managed to track the Zabrak into a warehouse several blocks away. He alone entered the warehouse unaware of the events going on inside.

Tsingtao entered the warehouse only to find factory workers staging a rebellion to overthrow the CSA rule on the planet. Being the only Espo Officer in the building, Tsingtao was not going to leave alive. He was jumped by two men and disarmed. The rest rushed in to beat him to an inch of his life. Tsingtao fought galantly as best as he could. For reasons unknown, he was anticipating each blow coming his way, giving him a chance to defend himself. However the numbers were too great. From the shadows the Zabrak jumped into the fray and together they started beating back the thugs. As the ring leader starting making his escape, Tsingtao managed to will the crates from the shelves to fall on the leader of the uprising. The Zabrak introduced himself as Joseem Maruuch. From then on they formed a certain respect for one another, and Tsingtao let the Zabrak be framing the factory workers of the smuggling ring. Unbeknownst to both of them, they were being watched from the shadows as well.

Tsingtao was promoted to Major in the Elite Espo unit and was awarded medals of valor for disposing of the uprising as well as the smuggling ring. During the award ceremony, Tsingtao was approached by a dark figure. The dark figure mentioned of unvast power and wealth. Intrigued Tsingtao sat and listened. The dark figure proceeded to explain of Tsingtao's use of the Force and his untapped potential. Tsingtao disbelieved that he was a Force user, but the dark figure explained that he has been observing Tsingtao for some time. Normally the dark figure would have destroyed the young Espo Officer, however, he believe Tsingtao to be a valuable asset to him. Tsingtao finally agreed to accompany the dark figure to see if the Force was truly in him. The dark figure was Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu.
