Abstract: A toy-model with $SU(2{)}_{mTC}$ dynamics confined at high scales $Lambd{a}_{mTC}gg100$ GeV enables to construct Dirac UV completion from the original chiral multiplets predicting a vector-like nature of their weak interactions consistent with electroweak precision tests. In this work, we investigate a potential of the lightest scalar baryon-like (T-baryon) state $B^0=UD$ with mass $m_{B}gtrsim1$ TeV predicted by the simplest two-flavor vector-like confinement model as a Dark Matter (DM) candidate. We show that two different scenarios with the T-baryon relic abundance formation before and after the electroweak (EW) phase transition epoch lead to symmetric (or mixed) and asymmetric DM, respectively. Such a DM candidate evades existing direct DM detection constraints since its vector coupling to $Z$ boson absents at tree level, while one-loop gauge boson mediated contribution is shown to be vanishingly small close to the threshold. The dominating spin-independent (SI) T-baryon--nucleon scattering goes via tree-level Higgs boson exchange in the $t$-channel. The corresponding bound on the effective T-baryon--Higgs coupling has been extracted from the recent LUX data and turns out to be consistent with naive expectations from the light technipion case $m_{ildepi}llLambd{a}_{mTC}$. The latter provides the most stringent phenomenological constraint on strongly-coupled $SU(2{)}_{mTC}$ dynamics so far. Future prospects for direct and indirect scalar T-baryon DM searches in astrophysics as well as in collider measurements have been discussed.
