Timeline/Chronology:

3652–3645 BBY (Age 0–7) | Early Civilian Development and Ideological Conditioning

Maxir Korden was born on Ziost to an Imperial household with direct ties to compliance review and military instruction. Early childhood records indicate a stable but highly performance-oriented domestic environment. Educational assessments noted early confidence, assertive communication, and responsiveness to praise-based reinforcement. No Force sensitivity or behavioral abnormalities were recorded during routine civic screenings. Family status was classified as ideologically aligned and low-risk. Early evaluators noted a pronounced desire for visibility and affirmation.

3645–3635 BBY (Age 7–17) | Formal Education and Pre-Enlistment Orientation

Korden attended state-administered academies emphasizing ideological literacy, civic loyalty, and leadership presentation. Academic records show strong performance in rhetoric, history of Imperial dominance, and command-theory coursework. Behavioral reports describe high participation, competitive drive, and occasional friction with peers during leadership exercises. He actively pursued recognition through civic demonstrations and mandatory youth programs. No Force aptitude screenings returned positive indicators. At age seventeen, he submitted a voluntary enlistment application to the Imperial Army with strong ideological endorsements.

3635–3633 BBY (Age 17–19) | Enlistment, Basic Training, and Initial Assignment

Korden enlisted in the Imperial Army at age seventeen and completed basic training within standard timelines. Training evaluations highlighted confidence under observation, vocal command presence, and decisive engagement behavior during live exercises. Instructors noted a tendency toward aggressive escalation paired with strong morale effects on nearby units. He was assigned to line infantry upon graduation and received a provisional Private classification. No disciplinary actions were issued, though early reviews flagged risk tolerance as elevated.

3633–3629 BBY (Age 19–23) | Junior Enlisted Advancement and Visible Leadership

During this period, Korden served in multiple patrol and enforcement deployments emphasizing visible Imperial presence. He was promoted to Corporal following demonstrated ability to rally units under pressure and maintain discipline through assertive command. Operational reports cite strong morale impact and rapid engagement initiation. He gained informal notoriety for conspicuous leadership style and ideological rhetoric during operations. At age twenty-three, he advanced to Sergeant, assuming supervisory responsibilities in high-visibility security roles.

3631–3629 BBY (Age 23–25) | Crisis Deployment and Field Commission

Korden was deployed during a localized operational crisis involving command attrition and public instability. In the absence of commissioned officers, he assumed operational control of multiple squad elements, prioritizing decisive action and symbolic enforcement. His leadership restored visible order rapidly, though after-action reports noted elevated risk exposure and force projection. He received a field commission to Lieutenant following the crisis. The promotion was ratified post-action after review confirmed restored perimeter authority and morale stabilization. This phase marked his formal entry into the commissioned officer corps.

3629–3625 BBY (Age 25–29) | Officer Development and Reputation Building

As a commissioned officer, Korden pursued postings that maximized visibility, ceremonial importance, and proximity to Sith-directed operations. Evaluations highlight strong oratory skills, morale control, and political signaling. He completed officer development programs with above-average marks in leadership presence and rapid mobilization, though doctrinal adherence and risk assessment were repeatedly flagged as inconsistent. Promotion to Captain was authorized at age twenty-nine, supported by ideological endorsements and performance under observation rather than long-term stability metrics.

3625–3621 BBY (Age 29–31) | Company Command and Korriban Assignment

Captain Korden was assigned company command within the Imperial Army garrison on Korriban, overseeing patrol execution and visible security enforcement near Sith Academy-adjacent zones. His tenure coincided with heightened Sith scrutiny and internal unrest. Under his command, Imperial presence remained conspicuous and morale-responsive, though after-action reports note reliance on spectacle-driven escalation. While no formal censure was issued, promotion recommendations beyond Captain were deferred pending long-term assessment of judgment consistency. Among personnel, he earned the informal designation “The Ascendant Captain.”
