Pergus Frode works at Odacer-Faustin
Evidence, timing and source limits
Around 3655 BBY Pergus Frode began work as a hangar technician for a Sith academy on the remote world of Odacer-Faustin. The academy predated Frode's employment, and its daily functioning required mechanics and support workers as well as Force-users. The catastrophic Sickness outbreak later associated with the same institution came in 3645 BBY, about a decade after the employment marker. His arrival should not be relabeled as the date of the outbreak or treated as proof that he caused it.
Anthropological interpretation
The labor of technicians sustains buildings and institutions that histories often describe only through elite leaders. Hangar maintenance entails knowledge of infrastructure, airframes, movement of supplies and transport safety. In a Sith-run training complex, that work took place within an unequal institutional hierarchy in which most support workers lacked the authority of the Sith instructors. Frode's case restores ordinary labor to a history otherwise focused on alchemical experimentation and disaster.
How to separate evidence from later interpretation
The event is conventionally situated in c. 3655 BBY, within the Great Galactic War or Cold War. Some archival sources offer only an approximate year or a retrospective account. Check whether a claim describes the contemporary public view, a later discovery or the historian's interpretation before treating them as equivalent.

Anthropological assessment
Large ideological institutions depend on ordinary workers whose labor keeps buildings, ships, and supply systems functioning even when histories focus on elite Force-users.
