History

Andressa Divo (center) joined the Imperial Security Bureau after graduating from the Federal District Police Academy.

Witnessing the extortion of his father by criminal elements during his formative years on Level 3215 of Coruscant, specifically during the reign of the Galactic Republic, instilled in the human Tanivos Divo a strong commitment to justice and fairness. This led him to dedicate himself to his studies, ultimately earning a scholarship to the academy at the age of sixteen. After graduating as valedictorian, he addressed the 4,500 new deputies from that graduating class from a podium.

In his address, he emphasized the significance of policing and the reasons behind the students' career choices. Divo's career began as a patrolman within the Coruscant Security Force, and he subsequently advanced to the rank of lieutenant by 7591 C.R.C., and later to inspector. He also presented before the academy's graduating class of 7593 C.R.C..

Following Divo's honorable retirement in the early years of the Galactic Empire's reign, his daughter, Andressa Divo, enrolled in the Federal District Police Academy. Driven by a desire to uphold the Divo family legacy of service, Andressa developed a strong commitment to justice and absorbed the teachings of Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine and his administration. Her goal was to join the Imperial Security Bureau while she was a student at the academy. By 7965 C.R.C., she had successfully achieved this goal after graduating and later attained the rank of inspector.
