She entered [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]] in [[2523]] as part of the graduating class of [[2526]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} She was to pass out that year, and served as a class commander leading her younger peers in the class of [[2529]].<ref name="part1">'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''', ''Part 1''</ref> She was a harsh taskmaster towards her [[Hastati Squad]], assigning snap early morning exercises and not tolerating failure or insubordination.{{Ref/Reuse|part1}}<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''', ''Part 2''</ref> | ||
Even by mid-[[2526]], Orenski was not aware that her homeworld had been [[glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] or the fact that a [[Harvest Campaign|campaign to reclaim it]] had begun due to the UNSC's still-extant blackout on the alien invasion. Thus, the [[Battle of Circinius IV|invasion of Circinius IV]] came as a complete surprise to her. Much of her squad was killed early on in the engagement, and along with [[Thomas Lasky]], [[Chyler Silva]], and [[Michael Sullivan]], she was one of the few people on the entire planet to survive the initial Covenant attack. Her confidence was severely shaken by the stress of combat, leading Lasky to become Hastati Squad's ''de facto'' leader. However, this did not prevent her from acquitting herself well in combat.<ref name="part4">'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''', ''Part 4''</ref> | Even by mid-[[2526]], Orenski was not aware that her homeworld had been [[glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] or the fact that a [[Harvest Campaign|campaign to reclaim it]] had begun due to the UNSC's still-extant blackout on the alien invasion.

Orenski projected a serious, no-nonsense demeanor towards her subordinates at Corbulo, acting very much like a stereotypical [[drill instructor]]. As a result, she was nicknamed "'''the Robot'''" among the other members of [[Hastati Squad]]. | Orenski projected a serious, no-nonsense demeanor towards her subordinates at Corbulo, acting very much like a stereotypical [[drill instructor]].
