DiSote joined the Army in the waning months of the Mandalorian Wars, leaving her homeworld of Bestine to help defend the Galactic Republic. Graduating from basic training as that conflict came to its end at the Battle of Malachor V, she later served as part of the garrison force on Telos IV. When the Jedi Civil War broke out, she earned a promotion to sergeant for her actions in helping to save lives during the Sith Empire's bombing of that world. Assigned to the Hammerhead-class cruiser Vibrosword, the flagship of Vice Admiral Forn Dodonna soon afterward, she was placed in charge of one of the squads in the platoon of troopers commanded by the Twi'lek lieutenant Ibratu'na.
