In 3700 BBY, Veradun was born on Dromund Kaas. He would later take the name Darth Malgus and become one of the most visible military figures of the Sith Empire's return, participating in the invasion of Korriban and the Sacking of Coruscant.

Malgus grows up while the Empire is preparing to reveal itself after centuries of secrecy.
Militarization forms the ordinary political environment of his youth.
The later public warrior begins in a hidden capital
The Republic has not yet encountered the society producing one of its future enemies.

Anthropological assessment
Malgus's birth is another marker of parallel historical worlds.
A future public enemy can spend decades inside a society that exists almost entirely outside the other side's archive.
