Born On Azorea

I was born the only daughter to Tabor and Adriana Nichola.
I was born in a little vacation village on the northern part of the country, a little province called Konesia.  Konesia was a luxurious ocean-side resort that catered to the extremely wealthy, or at least those who pretended to be so.  As I said, I was only daughter of Tabor and Adriana Nichola, and found herself lavished with the good things of life.  My father was a man that thrived on success and knew how to get it.  He was driven to be the best, which is why I rarely saw him.  My mother was my role model, she taught me how to be a lady but also to understand that just because I was a lady did not mean I could not achieve great things.

I enrolled in the Stellar Exploration Academy at the age of 19, mostly because my father forbade me from doing so.  He had dreams that I would someday take over the Besantium Diamond trade, that had made him so prosperous.  I had no interest in running a large company.  I wanted to see the stars and beyond.  In my first year I was one of only a handful of female recruits.  I had to make it on my brains and wit, especially given the competitive nature of the Navigator Pilot School I had my eye set on.  My training took me far from the small village of my birth.  I loved everything about the program.  I also seemed to have a knack for it.  In just four short years I had advanced to Junior Navigator 1st class and began actual exploration missions aboard one of our Stellar Transports.

They were used solely for educational training and science exploration.  I had the opportunity to travel to strange worlds with exotic names, most of which were not able to support life.  In time I was promoted to Senior Captain and given a ship of my own to command.  It was simply titled Transport T-3.  I caller her Mariodauntus after a legendary warrior princess from our early history.  I commanded a crew of about thirty-five.
