Born in 3285 on Earth in Sol, into a fairly wealthy family that managed to sustain permanent residency on Earth by the means of having established themselves as a medium-sized touristic company. As a result, she grew up learning more of Humanity's and Earth's past and it's cultures and lived fairly detached from the current state of the world around her, remaining oblivious of many things considered common knowledge for federal citizens and human citizens in general.

Up to 3300, she led a fairly uneventful life, but in that year, everything was bound to change over the following 12 months. Under a suddenly strongly increasing pressure from megacorporations, the family's company was quickly dwarfed and profits started to dwindle. Her parents, leading the company in the 6th generation and of very traditional mindset, were unwilling to submit to those megacorporations however and entered a large-scale conflict.
Around the end of the year 3300, the family couldn't resist the pressure any longer and most of their assets were forcefully taken at but a fraction of their original value. During that period of chaos, she got separated from her family entirely, never to hear from them again.

In exactly that timeframe, February 3301 to be precise, where she didn't have any perspective for her future at all, she was contacted by an anonymous person with the offer to join the Pilot's Federation as a new pilot, promising an instant rise to the rank of a fully-fledged Commander, with a loaned starting ship and money to boot!
It was a deal that sounded too good to be true, but being both naive and left without any alternatives, she ended up accepting the offer - and it ended up being exactly as promised!

Starting from LHS 3447, quickly getting aquainted with the basics of space flight, she took her Sidewinder and earned her first handful of credits, running as a courier from place to place.
Soon after, she started to thirst for some adrenaline and quickly took to the profession as a bounty hunter, chasing down irresponsible people that commited all sorts of atrocities to earn themselves a bounty on their head!

At the same time, she made off to search for a new home, one outside of the now hated Federation that tore her away from her family and peaceful life with it's ruthless capitalistic policies. Her choice fell on LHS 2651,  a system governed by the Alliance almost directly. Here, there were many pirates posing a threat to the local miners in the Asteroid rings, so she started increasing her earnings, upgrading her ship to a Viper MkIII in the process, a ship which she would keep for quite a while still.

During that period of time, she became aquainted with a small group calling themselves Kallisto Enterprises and ended up joining them. Here, she would for the first time learn the value of interacting and cooperating with other CMDRs.

Sadly, however, due to the leader of the group, CMDR Caesium++, retiring from his job as a CMDR, Kallisto Enterprises quickly lost it's focus without a leader and disbanded shortly after in late May of 3301, leaving her mostly on her own again.
Thanks to one of her close friends, CMDR Kyron5, whom she had known ever since a few years before she joined the Pilot's Federation (she actually was the one who convinced him to join the Pilot's Federation as well), she lost neither hope nor focus and kept going, working as a bounty hunter beside him.
During their days of close cooperation, she could afford to upgrade to a Vulture and then her dream ship, a Saud Kruger Orca, in a comparatively short amount of time.

The experience she gained at Kallisto Enterprises however made her start a search for another larger organization to join...

Her search quickly led her to the (then still only recently opened) portal for Pilot's Federation members, INARA, where existing groups of Commanders were given the ability to promote themselves and scout new members. She had already known about and used that portal for it's various other uses beforehand, though Kallisto Enterprises hadn't had a presence there.
While skimming through the recruiting groups, the one that catched her eye was one calling themselves the "6th Interstellar Corps", a group of former imperial privateers that had settled around the system of Cemiess conducting trade operations and also providing protection for their trade routes.
What led her to apply for membership, despite not having had much interaction with imperials and a neutral stance towards the Empire as a whole, was the group's unique Code of Ethics which made all members equal, only giving administrative tasks and rights to those who were willing to take those tasks on.

Her application was reviewed by the CMDRs Sigsy and TTMJ, and both of them, or rather the group as a whole was very sceptical towards accepting her as a new recruit, not because of her affiliation with the Alliance at that point, but mostly because it turned out she was far younger than the other members at the time, so they seemed very worried whether she'd be able to fit in with them.
After a few excursions with the members of the 6th, however, those worries were quickly dissipated and she was warmly welcomed.

Around the same timeframe, a few other CMDRs also joined the 6IC, namely CMDRs Mal Reynolds, Geo Panagon and Driftwood, and with their common status as fresh recruits, she'd end up quickly building a strong bond of friendship with those Commanders.

Quickly getting promoted to full membership, she would pass the first two years as a regular participant, following the 6IC through it's various events and troubles, e.g. the Sidewinder Shootout, the founding of their faction and their first necessary move to Jotunheim.

During the 6IC's stay in Jotunheim and the following large conflict with the Adamant Toads, her excellent diplomatic skills were discovered, and though she couldn't avert the second move of the faction to Daesi, she earned herself the role of the prime diplomatic attachée in care of most relationships between the 6IC and other squadrons.

As the 6IC settled in Daesi and began expanding it's sphere of influence, she managed to rise to the position of COO, or vice leader, of the squadron thanks to her high ability in organizing and planning abilities that made the best use of their manpower to achieve their goals. She also managed to create a close relationship between the 6IC and a few other squadrons, namely the House of Saga, Angeli Imperial Enterprises and the Imperial Privateers. Alliances that should become the backbone of the dominance of each of these groups in that region of the empire down the line.

In 3302, she participated in the largest-scale expedition to date, the Distant Worlds Expedition and ended up among the participants that safely made it to the other end of the galaxy, their destination, Beagle Point. There she would also claim the achievement of being the second-ever pilot to bring a Lakon Type-7 Transporter all the way out there, a very controversial ship choice at the time due to that model's very mediocre jump range. Today this ship, the ESS Satellite, is stored in it's original state from when it made it back, in the starport it started it's voyage from, Kennan Dock in LHS 2651.

Over the next few years, the 6th Interstellar Corps would experience a series of ups and downs, and due to the need of her skills in the squadron she ended up fully cutting her loose ties to the Alliance to focus solely on the 6IC's faction. In the same timeframe, another close ally to the 6IC would emerge thanks to her diplomatic efforts, the combined groups of the Armed Imperial Concilium and it's sister squadron, the Warmind Combat Group.

Finally, in 3306, due to the then long-lasting CEO of the 6th Interstellar, Mal Reynolds, having mostly stopped his activities as a Commander, she peaked her career by switching positions with him, becoming the official leader of the 6th Interstellar Corps, which she has stayed as to this day.
