After she received prime marks at^[1] the planet^[2] Carida's Imperial Naval Academy, the Ilohian Tian Karmiya finely served on the Enigma—another starship—and the Victory at Batonn. Following this, Karmiya held the rank of commander and was stationed as executive officer of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Ultimatum.^[1] In 3 ABY,^[3] Karmiya's commanding officer aboard the Star Destroyer, Captain Canonhaus, reflected on her previous service, including her time on Victory at Batonn.^[1]
