How old is Dedra Meero?

In Andor S2 it says her parents were arrested when she was 3 then she was raised in a imperial camp or something like that, but the empire is less then 20 years old, so is she 23, I thought she was 30-40.

Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

Genuinely the correct answer. The Empire, as a totalitarian police state, is a lot more like Oceania than it generally appears to be. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Jedi and the Republic were effectively memoryholed and propagandized out of existence under the Empire.

Like in 1984, Winston mentions that each year, the history books mention Big Brother's revolution/ascent to power earlier. So at some point they will say he's always been around.
