As a youth, she believed in the Empire and, even as it put her through some "rough stuff," followed its orders blindly. Īfter the Clone Wars ended, the Galactic Empire established a presence on Mandalore and opened an Imperial Academy, which Wren attended as a Imperial cadet. Her father, artist Alrich Wren, took Sabine to see the statue of Tarre Vizsla while her younger brother Tristan Wren was only an infant. Trained from an early age in Mandalorian warrior culture, Wren forged her distinctive armor with her family, and also inherited her Nite Owls helmet from someone whose identity she was reluctant to reveal. She was raised in part on Mandalore but also considered Clan Wren's ancestral home of Krownest to be her homeworld.

Wracked with guilt, Wren left Mandalore and was branded a traitor by the Empire and her mother, Ursa Wren, leader of the clan. She built weapons she believed would be used for peace but were instead used against her family and her people. Prior to becoming a rebel, Wren was a cadet at the Imperial Academy of Mandalore.
