Family History and Childhood

Chase was born to a modest, hard working 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 is since deceased [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, but never seemed to reach his full potential in the classroom. "His heart never seemed to be in it. He has all of the tools to be one of the very best," his teachers would remark. Despite this apparent lack of interest, Chase continually finished at, or near, the top of his class throughout his schooling.

Athletics

Quickly becoming one of the biggest and tallest in his class during puberty, Chase was hard working and driven when it came to Athletics. Often times he would stay late after practice to work on technique or lift weights in the gym. His father's blue collar attitude was instilled from an early age, and Chase never considered anything less than giving 100%. During his late teens, he gained many accolades for his performance 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 rehabilitation for months.

The Decision to Enlist

Faced with a lengthly 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 a flyer that had shown up in his father's holomail. The flyer was from the Imperial Academy and was addressed to his older brother, who had decided to enlist before unexpectedly passing away. Interested, he researched a career in the Imperial Navy. After all, Chase was physically fit enough to endure the basic training and had the intelligence to become a successful strategist. He was already an excellent pilot, and had the desire and drive to do something meaningful with his life. He knew it would be a noble tribute to his brother's life.

After making his decision known, Chase was relieved to see that his parents, family and friends were deeply supportive of his new career move.

So, after a few last minute preparations, he boarded the shuttle with the other hopeful enlisted and blasted off for the Academy.

Chase was accepted to the Academy and officially began his Imperial career on Day 29 of year 12.

Caulfield is athletic and smart, but quick to lose his temper when he feels that he is being disrespected. He is known as an excellent pilot with quick reflexes and confidence. He makes no attempt to hide his pride for serving in the Imperial Navy and considers his fleet mates to be family. Chase is loyal to the end and believes in doing things the right way - nothing less than 100% is acceptable. He believes in the value of hard work and conducting oneself in an honorable manner.

Off-duty, Chase enjoys bonding with his fellow pilots and employs a healthy dose of humor in his conversation.

He owns the Pursuer Enforcement Ship, the Red Star, which was left to him when his close friend and fellow Navy pilot Cameron Mandell passed away.
