Chase Caulfield is a retired former Lieutenant in the Imperial Navy. He served as the Executive Officer of the 2nd Imperial Fleet's 2nd Group. He also held the position of Fleet Signals Officer for the 2nd Fleet.

Family History and Childhood

Chase was born to a modest family in a middle class section of Coruscant. His father, Ryan Caulfield, was a hard working blue collar man who was well liked and respected by his peers. His mother, Jan, was a Teacher in the Coruscant School district. He had one older brother, Jason, who has passed away of natural causes.

According to all records and accounts, Chase grew up in a very normal household and had a happy childhood. He excelled in school and sports, and was quickly put into an accelerated learning track. He graduated from his classes in the top percentile.

Athletics

Chase was driven when it came to Athletics. His father's blue collar attitude was instilled from an early age, and Chase never considered anything less than giving 100%. These moments were important interactions that shaped Chase's character. He quickly learned what it meant to do your best, but also to win with humility and to lose with dignity.

During his late teens, he gained many accolades for his performance in Athletics and briefly considered pursuing sports as a professional career. However, during one of his final amateur games, he suffered a serious injury, which landed him in heavy rehabilitation for months. It was quite possible that Chase would never be able to play sports again.

The Decision to Enlist

Faced with a lengthy rehabilitation, Chase re-committed himself to his studies and to his future. It was during this time that his older brother, Jason, died of a rare heart disorder. Devastated, Chase shrunk into a period of mourning and depression.

During this challenging period, he happened across an Imperial Academy flyer that had shown up in his father's holomail. The flyer was addressed to his older brother, who had decided to enlist before unexpectedly passing away. Interested, Chase researched a career in the Imperial Navy. He knew it would be a noble tribute to his brother's life. He worked hard to rehabilitate his body and he used his free time to study anything and everything that had to do with the Imperial Navy. History, strategy, tactics, he studied it all in hopes of becoming the best Imperial soldier he could.

Naval Career

Chase's call sign is "Ghost." The nickname was bestowed upon him by his fleet mates during his time as an enlisted pilot.

Receiving His Commission and Appointment to Group Executive Officer

To date, the finest achievement of Caulfield's young career came on Year 12, Day 331 when he received his Commission and was promoted into the officer ranks. Being an achievement in and of itself, Chase was encouraged to enjoy the moment, but was reminded by his superiors that this was only the beginning and he still had a lot of hard work ahead of him.

"Your career has seen both its ups and downs. Luckily, it has been more ups for you. There has been a following trend that I have noticed with you, though: Intelligence, Loyalty, Dedication to your job and those around you, and finally the ability to lead and inspire those under you. Every challenge that has been thrown at you, you have defeated. Each and every opportunity you get, you give 110%. I've watched you as a Crewman, and now I am glad I will get to watch you as you walk through this door today. Command Flight Sergeant Chase Caulfield, today you are to hereby receive your Commission and are promoted to the rank of Ensign. "

— Rear Admiral Gredek Dregoth, during Caulfield's Commission Ceremony

During his officer's training, Chase was challenged to understand the fine details of what was expected of an officer in the Imperial Navy. He worked diligently to not only learn these lessons, but also to apply them and understand why these skills were important. The sessions provided many valuable lessons about leadership and it was during this training that Caulfield was given the rare opportunity and priviledge to be instructed, personally, by Lord Admiral Senki Blackrain himself. It was an honor that Chase would proudly brag about to his parents back home (and to just about anyone else who would listen, too).
