Personal History		Nigi's History: From Shadow to the Federation Nigi, a woman of profound resilience, carries a past marked by slavery and defiance. The constant presence of her daughter, Laraa, serves as a living echo of a history Nigi desperately tries to forget. Her arrival on the Titan was not a legitimate hiring but a calculated act of desperation—a significant bribe paid for a fragile moment of safety as she fled the remnants of her former life. Nigi’s true, complicated story begins in the cold, unforgiving expanse of Orion Space. Orion Space: The Price of Leadership Until the age of sixteen, Nigi’s life followed the strict path prescribed by her Orion heritage. At that time, she was designated to undergo the traditional, brutal Orion training for leadership: to become a slave girl. This period was intended to forge her, teaching her the cruel mechanics of power, manipulation, and exploitation from the perspective of the oppressed. For eighteen grueling months, her target was Finieous Ketara, a powerful and corrupt figure. Nigi played her role flawlessly, meticulously learning and exploiting his weaknesses and vices. When she finally severed the connection, she left him financially and reputationally ruined, having systematically taken everything he possessed. She immediately fled, focused on finding a new, more valuable target to continue her self-imposed mission. However, a single month into her fresh endeavor, her past brutally reclaimed her. Finieous Ketara, consumed by a need for vengeance, tracked her down. The encounter was vicious: she was raped, mercilessly beaten, and stripped bare of every credit and possession she had acquired. Finieous abandoned her for dead, a broken and bleeding testament to his rage. Her own family, bound by their clan's rigid, merciless codes, deemed her brutalization and subsequent pregnancy not a tragedy, but an unforgivable failure—a deep dishonor. Cast out and utterly alone, Nigi found sanctuary in a shelter on a remote, insignificant world. She spent her entire pregnancy there, her spirit and body slowly recovering from the horrific wounds inflicted by Finieous. The shelter offered her the option of an abortion, a choice Nigi fiercely refused. She viewed the child not as a mistake or a curse, but as a necessary penance. “This,” she stated, her voice heavy with self-reproach, “is the punishment I deserve for failing my family, for failing my clan.” When her daughter, Laraa, was born, Nigi gave her no last name—a stark, final sign that both mother and child were utterly clanless, drifting in the void. Fringe Space: A New Foundation Nigi and Laraa’s fortunes shifted for the better in the tumultuous region of Fringe Space. An unexpected lifeline came from a distant cousin, Sido, who had years ago rejected the restrictive traditions of the Orion people. Sido, who had forged a new life on a bustling starship, willingly took Nigi and her infant daughter under her protection. In profound respect and debt to Sido, Nigi adopted the last name Latar. Sido embraced the role of surrogate matriarch, taking charge of raising young Laraa. This crucial relief allowed Nigi to focus on building a new foundation for their lives. She began working and training at a ship’s bar and grill, a common but essential role. To her surprise, she discovered a genuine aptitude for the work—a talent for mixing drinks and managing the chaotic social scene of a transient starship clientele. This newfound skill became her tool for survival. With single-minded focus, Nigi dedicated herself to saving every possible credit, driven by one powerful goal: to build a new, fundamentally better life for herself and her daughter, Laraa. During a Borg attack on their world, Sido sacrificed her life to save both Nigi and Laraa. Before her death, she entrusted Nigi with a set of daggers, giving her strict instructions to carry them at all times. As they fled the planet while battleships engaged the Borg in orbit, they found themselves on a path toward Federation space. With only the funds Nigi had managed to save in an off-world bank account, they pressed on.
Service Record		Nigi's background as a survivor and her innate astuteness facilitated a rapid progression within the structured environment of Starfleet. Admitted through the refugee program, Nigi demonstrated herself to be a highly effective officer. Her natural leadership capabilities and distinct comprehension of criminal organizations (acquired during her tenure targeting Finieous Ketara) rendered her indispensable in deep-cover operations and tactical planning against non-Federation criminal elements. Her career was marked by a string of substantial operational achievements, particularly in dismantling significant smuggling rings and organized crime networks operating near Federation borders. Within a mere six years of joining, her commitment and exceptional effectiveness resulted in her promotion to Commander and the assignment of command over her own vessel. This rapid ascent signified a crucial separation from her tumultuous history and solidly cemented her new identity within the Federation, shifting her role from a targeter of criminals to a highly respected Starfleet leader and protector of the peace. Nigi Latar's stellar performance culminated in a personal commendation from Admiral Cael Maz, the Sector Commander. The commendation highlighted her "unwavering commitment to the Federation Charter and her exceptional strategic foresight in neutralizing major criminal threats." This high honor was swiftly followed by her promotion to the rank of Captain. Maz's official orders assigned her to command the U.S.S. Lenora (NCC-79015), a Sabre/Saber-class starship known for its multipurpose capabilities. The assignment was a direct testament to Nigi’s tactical acumen and her history of success in dangerous, high-stakes environments, giving her command of a vessel perfectly suited for swift, decisive action on the fringes of Federation space.
