bjornwildeSince I seem to be in a Sabine headspace this morning as I work through projects at work, I'm going to try and outline my short term goals with her. Warning, there be spoilers both from canon and my imagined backstory behind the cut.
So I mean to bring Sabine in from her Imperial Academy days on Mandalore for a bit before moving her up to Rebels.
Life at the Imperial Academy seems very totalitarian and being selfish and bullying seems to get you farther than working as a team. (Based on the Servants of the Empire book series). I am thinking that the Mandalore academy is definitely live in, with cadets having Imperial guardians. The kids are kept from their parents and any chance of learning what Mandalore culture was all about. Think how the US and Canada treated/treats their Native populations and you will get the idea.
Sabine believes the Imperial propaganda about Mandalore, that they were a nobel people who lost their way and they can find their way through the glory that is the Empire. Sabine proves to be a gifted student. She picks up tech easily, having a near perfect memory in regards to engineering, and follows rules and regulations as a model student. She hasn't seen her parents for several years.
She does have some friction with Imperial conduct as she keeps trying to express herself or think of new ways for the cadets to be more effective. Individual thought is not encouraged within the Empire however, at least not at the cadet level, and so her ideas or efforts are always shot down.
Still, she believes in the Empire and Mandalore's future. It is this belief (and the inherent conflict within that she doesn't see) that leads to a big mistake on Sabine's part. This mistake leads to her starting to see that the Empire is not what she thought it was.
Soon, she breaks away from the Empire and sets out to fix her mistake. This leads to her slicing the Empire network as well as scouring Mandalore's holonet. She ends up finding what we could call the Dark Web, which holds tons of information about the Mandalorian culture. Some of it is good, some of it is bad, but all of it contracts what the Empire has been feeding her.
She starts minor acts of insurrection, mostly graffetti about the glory that once was the Mandalorian way, and eventually succeeds in fixing her original error. She also finds the address for her parents and seeks them out, only to find a blasted shell of a home. Are her parents alive? Who knows?
Things get too hot for her on Mandalore and so she heads off world, eventually working for a while as a bounty hunter (if upcoming episode descriptions are to be believed) before being found by Kanan and joining the Ghost crew.
