Timeline/Chronology:

3653–3646 BBY (Age 0–7) | Early Civilian Development and Environmental Conditioning

Sara Kenau was born on Balmorra within the Sobrik industrial sector, an area characterized by high-density contractor housing and continuous Imperial logistical activity. Early childhood records indicate a stable domestic environment with strong exposure to Imperial administrative norms through parental employment. No Force sensitivity or behavioral abnormalities were recorded during routine civic assessments. Educational evaluations noted quiet attentiveness, strong rule adherence, and limited social volatility. Family status was classified as compliant and low-risk. No early intervention or special monitoring was deemed necessary.

3646–3636 BBY (Age 7–17) | Formal Education and Pre-Enlistment Conditioning

Sara attended state-administered educational institutions aligned with Imperial contractor populations. Academic records show consistent performance, with particular strength in structured problem-solving and procedural comprehension. Behavioral reports describe emotional restraint and low incidence of conflict. She did not participate in political or ideological youth organizations beyond mandatory civic programs. No Force aptitude screenings returned positive indicators. At age seventeen, she submitted a voluntary enlistment application to the Imperial Army without external sponsorship.

3636–3634 BBY (Age 17–19) | Enlistment, Basic Training, and Initial Assignment

Sara formally enlisted in the Imperial Army at age seventeen and completed basic training within standard timelines. Training evaluations highlighted composure under stress, adherence to chain-of-command, and disciplined restraint during live exercises. She was assigned to line infantry upon graduation and received a provisional Private classification. No commendations or disciplinary actions were issued during this phase. Early performance was assessed as reliable rather than exceptional. Command notes referenced her tendency toward quiet observation prior to action.

3634–3630 BBY (Age 19–23) | Junior Enlisted Advancement and Field Experience

During this period, Sara served in multiple ground deployments in support and containment roles. She was promoted to Corporal following demonstrated competence in small-unit coordination and situational judgment. Operational reports cite effective execution of orders and steady performance during periods of heightened uncertainty. She avoided both disciplinary infractions and informal notoriety. At age twenty-three, she advanced to Sergeant, assuming limited supervisory responsibilities. Evaluations emphasized consistency, procedural rigor, and control rather than initiative-driven leadership.

3630–3628 BBY (Age 23–25) | Crisis Deployment and Field Commission

Sara was deployed during a localized operational crisis requiring rapid reconstitution of command continuity. Due to officer attrition, she received a field commission to Lieutenant following sustained performance under degraded conditions. The promotion was ratified post-action after review confirmed adherence to doctrine and effective containment outcomes. She assumed platoon-level command responsibilities with minimal transition disruption. Reports noted her preference for stabilizing procedures over improvisational tactics. This phase marked her formal entry into the commissioned officer corps.

3628–3623 BBY (Age 25–30) | Officer Development and Command Consolidation

As a commissioned officer, Sara progressed through successive postings focused on security coordination and defensive ground operations. She completed required officer development programs with above-average evaluations in logistics oversight and personnel management. Promotion to Captain was authorized at age thirty following sustained command reliability rather than singular distinction. Her leadership style was described as restrained, predictable, and non-performative. Morale under her command remained stable during extended deployments. She attracted minimal political attention within the Imperial hierarchy.

3623–3621 BBY (Age 30–32) | Battalion Command and Korriban Assignment

Sara was elevated to the rank of Major at age thirty-two and assigned battalion-level command authority. She was posted to Korriban to oversee Imperial Army ground operations and security coordination in Academy-adjacent zones. Her tenure coincided with repeated periods of Sith internal instability and acolyte unrest. Despite these conditions, no loss of battalion cohesion or perimeter integrity was recorded. Her command was characterized by procedural discipline and deliberate restraint. Evaluations classify her performance as stabilizing under extreme political pressure.
