History

Personal History Brought up mostly alone as her father worked many long hours at his job. His posting as Strategic Analysis took him away for long perods of time, so Lia was left to her own devices. She would often visit her uncle as a result just to have some company and he obliged her. He gave Lia her first code and taught her how she could use it to make communicators chirp without there being a transmission.

Multiple detentions throuout her adolescent years as a result of a building hobby, her first adult case forced her enlistment into active service. Her station was aboard the USS Slivershard, a darkstar status defiant class vessel. Their mission was to assist in the investigation of a possible borg related hack on a federation data outpost. They came under fire from unknown combatants and the ship was destroyed. Lia and two other crew members were the only survivors of the incident. (Reference IR-ADA503)
