Early lifed'Jada hails from Thirat, a sweltering high-gravity jungle world deep in Orion space. It is home to an isolationist, martial Orion culture, one comparatively free of rampant crime and piracy, instead maintaining its corporations and noble families, but almost as honour-bound and duelling-obsessed as Klingons. She comes from a lesser clan, the Nozama, who dwelt in the jungles themselves.
Per custom, at age 10, her parents sold her as a slave to a local company, Ngachi's Forestry Services. This was no abuse, but traditional Orion apprenticeship and education. She was trained to hunt the jungles for valuable products (foodstuffs, plants, drugs, and others), to survive on her own, and to fight. She soon became a skilled hunter and a budding warrior who could defend her clan and company in occasional skirmishes, and she could move easily between city and the jungle's heart.
However, d'Jada dreamed of space and so signed on with the Orion Space Navy, which bought out her contract and thus she had her freedom in exchange for service to the OSN. The OSN is rather shabby as space fleets go, with rented ships and a (not entirely applicable) reputation for corruption, laziness, and incompetence, but they made up for it in resourcefulness, cunning, knowledge of space, and skill in hunting pirates. d'Jada was too low-class to try for officer, but proved herself as an enlisted crewwoman, standing out for her competence, incorruptibility, and not being there solely for the fraternisation, and so formed the backbone of dedicated personnel that kept the OSN in line.
When the alleged Orion government, the Botchok Planetary Congress, noticed the worrying rise of Earth in interstellar politics, and how Orion pirates and slavers had already tarnished their image, they tried to smooth over relations with Earth and her allies. Part of this was an exchange officer program. The officer selected wasn't interested, and delegated it to d'Jada. She wasn't all that thrilled either, but orders were orders and she was curious to see if humans ran their ships any better.
Starfleet careerAfter a orientation course and introduction to Starfleet and Earth, d'Jada was posted to the
NX-06 Lexington. As well as performing regular enlisted Security duties, she is to serve as a wilderness scout and act as an advisor on aliens and worlds known to the Orions and on pirate-hunting matters as required.
