Kat was born on LHS 142 AB 5. At the age of 18 she became a pilot and went through training to become a certified pilot. In her early days of commanding a ship she spent most of her time working with the Imperial Navy, and working here and there to work up enough credits to buy a nice ship. Her efforts payed off and she clambered into the cockpit of a new Imperial Courier, to which she named Wendigo. After working even more credits from touring and even enlisting as a mercenary for whatever system she could gain from, she bought a Krait Phantom and set it up to reach the stars.
