=== Early Life ===
==== Growing Up on Elysia ====
Julie was born into an affluent family in the city of Lutetia, on Elysia. From a young age she was afforded a good education and had all of her necessities provided to her by her wealthy parents, though this never sat well with her. She developed a strong distain for the wealthy lifestyle which caused her to act out based on her frustrations, and by the age of eleven she had accrued a record of shoplifting, petty thievery and vandalism. Her near-constant run-ins with the Cosmopolitan Police resulted in her beginning to hate the law, aspiring to become an insurrectionist like the ones from years ago she had heard rumors about.
When Elysia first came under attack in 2548, Julie was an eighteen-year-old delinquent. She maintained her wealthy lifestyle and lived with her family in their luxury apartment, though she spent most days on the streets getting into trouble. Lutetia quickly devolved into an urban battleground as the Covenant descended upon the city. Evacuations were rapidly halted by the Covenant gaining aerial superiority, forcing much of the population to wait in underground shelters; but Julie refused to cooperate with the authorities and remained on the surface. After evading the Covenant for days, she had a brush with death when she was saved by Elysian Security Forces Officer Matthias Jaccoud. This marked a turning point in her life - seeing the Covenant slaughter her fellow citizens made her develop a hatred for them, and a desire to join the military. In addition, Matthias saving her life drastically changed her perception of the planet's law enforcement agencies and she vowed to get her life back on track.
Shortly after the Covenant was repelled, Julie signed up at the planet's naval academy to become a member of the Marine Corps. Due to the ongoing manpower shortages and the recent string of severe defeats at the hands of the Covenant onslaught, she was accepted despite not maintaining a clean criminal record.
=== Marine Corps ===
Her career in the Marine Corps was eventful, seeing numerous minor engagements across Human space from 2548 to 2551. Late in 2551, the planet of Concord was attacked and Julie was attached to a Marine Corps detachment deployed to reinforce the defenders. The battle was eventually a victory for the UNSC, though Julie distinguished herself to her commanding officers at several points over the course of the engagement. Shortly after the defense of Concord, she began to be considered to become an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. 
In October of 2551, the Covenant invaded Algolis. Her platoon was assisting in the defense of Weapons Research Facility T12A against a Covenant assault to buy time for the ongoing evacuations when she was heavily wounded by an explosion caused by a Banshee's fuel rod shot colliding with a nearby warthog. Despite her injuries, she managed to withdraw to the facility on food while the leader of Hades Corp fought off the Covenant assault in a prototype AFV. The determination she displayed on Algolis renewed the discussions surrounding her consideration for the ODST corps to which she was eventually promoted in January of 2552 while still in recovery.
==== Orbital Drop Shock Trooper ====
===== Fall of Reach =====
Julie was on the planet Reach when the Covenant began their invasion and subsequently saw her first major engagement on Reach during the Siege of New Alexandria. By August 23rd, the battle was decidedly in the Covenant's favour, and the commencement of glassing operations hastened the UNSC's withdrawal from the city. She was among the last forces to be evacuated from the city and eventually the planet as a whole.
===== Earth =====
On October 20th, the Prophet of Regret's CAS-class assault carrier Solemn Penance broke through Earth's orbital defense grid and began to deploy ground forces within the city of New Mombasa, sparking an engagement. As sporadic fighting spread across the city, Julie Derocles was deployed alongside her platoon to assist in the defense of the city's central business district. Shortly after their arrival in the city, the Solemn Penance executed an in-atmosphere slipspace jump, generating a damaging shockwave which ripped through the city and an electromagnetic pulse which disabled much of the metropolis' electronics. Evacuations of UNSC forces immediately began as more Covenant forces began to be deployed by a newly-arrived Jiralhanae-led fleet, Julie being one out of thousands of UNSC forces to be aerially withdrawn from the city.
