Chadias Markith

Chadias Markith was a Neimoidian who was one of the lead droid commanders as the. He deluded himself with thoughts of becoming the Emperor of the conquered planet, which he would dub "Nabo Neimoidia", a twisted parody of Naboo and the name of the Neimoidian homeworld. These delusions drove him mad and he plotted against various galactic forces.

Battle of Naboo
Markith was 's "secret commander" during the Invasion of Naboo. Markith was the brains behind many battles, such as Spinnaker and Harte Secur, although he never did any personal leading. He was promised by Darth Sidious himself the position of Naboo's Emperor once the planet was conquered by the Trade Federation. He often obsessed and fantasized about this and it slowly began to drive him mad. The first outlying signs of madness came when he literally starting whooping with joy when he learned that the Federation armies had conquered Theed. He then sobbed in utter despair when he learned that Queen Amidala had not signed the treaty that would make him Emperor. Fearing for his commander's ability to make decisions, Gunray ordered his battle droids aboard the ship that Markith was aboard to kill him. Markith escaped and told Gunray he was not mad, and would prove it by crushing the recent Gungan uprising. After Darth Maul and his forces captured the Gungan leader Boss Ganne under the orders of Sidious and Markith, Gunray promoted him to an unknown, but high rank. He lost the rank and his position in the Federation when he went into a nervous breakdown following the Federation's defeat on Naboo.

The Clone Wars
Never truly giving up his plans for converting Naboo into Nabo Neimoidia, Markith joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems under Count Dooku and was rehired into the Trade Federation. He was the brains behind many operations and gave San Hill the funds to rebuild General Grievous into a cyborg. His plan to conquer Naboo and take revenge on its inhabitants, mainly Padme Amidala and the Gungans, began when he masterminded the destruction of the Gungan colony on Ohma-D'un. He also secretly performed assassination attempts on Amidala, only for her to be saved by her husband, Anakin Skywalker, on all accounts. He also learned of their marriage and plotted to kill Skywalker as well. Learning of his desire to kill Amidala, Sidious began to assist Markith in his assassination plans, if only to upset Skywalker, whom he hoped would become his Sith apprentice. However, when he learned Amidala was pregnant, Sidious abandoned the Markith and the attacks so he could corrupt Skywalker through the pain of his unborn child later. Markith disappeared after the death of Count Dooku, and in doing so, avoided execution by Skywalker (now Darth Vader) on Mustafar.

Imperial Era
Sidious, now Emperor Palpatine, tracked down and contacted Markith, who hired the Neimoidian as his assassin. Markith set off a bomb that killed some rebelling Naboo senators just months before the disassembling of the Senate, and the bodies were sent home as the 501st Journal described "in various states of dismemberment". Palpatine then told Markith if he could defeat the rebelling Nabooians and kill Queen Apailana and her Jedi protectors, he would turn Naboo into Nabo Neimoidia and make him the Emperor of the new planet. Eagerly, the Markith sent the 501st Legion to fight the Naboo Royal Guard and the group was killed. Shortly after the mission, however, he learned the fate of Anakin Skywalker and the Separtist Council and abandoned Palpatine. He disappeared once more, appearing once to kill an aged Captain Tarpals in his home for fighting his forces decades before.

Death
Markith's downfall ultimately came when he sent Darth Vader a package containing a human skull, a holo-recording of him digging up Padme's grave, and a note claiming this was his wife's head and that he was hiding on a moon of Naboo with a droid army. Vader gathered ten Stormtrooper legions and attacked the moon, his enormous army easily overwhelming the droids. In a fit of violent rage, Vader tore the still living Chadias Markith's head from his body with his bare hands, exclaiming an enhancement of an old phrase: "An eye for an eye, a head for a head." Needless to say, Markith was killed instantly. Vader also advanced his revenge by watching the body rot and then destroying the moon with the prototype Death Star, perhaps the first of such "tests". He then buried his wife's head on Naboo.
