On Bajor
Rel Shaw was born on Bajor during the Cardassian occupation around stardate 235008. Following the documentation trail from Bajoran Militia, Shaw's parents – a members of Resistance - was killed three year later and Shaw was passed after that from one sympathizer's or resistance family to another. She joined and was active in resistance from her age of eight, until end of the occupation in 2369.
Her Early Career in Bajor Militia
After the occupation ended and the Bajoran militia was established, Shaw was commissioned as an officer of the Militia Corps of Engineers. Although she had no formal education or training, her commission cited her talent for technology and commitment to the Bajoran Resistance as reasons.
Shaw was assigned to Bajor and led a joint Militia-Federation team responsible for modernizing the planet's power grid network until 2070, when she was marked as AWOL and, after some time, as a deserter.
Maquis
At stardate 207009.13, she joined Maquis, where she got a reputation as a capable, ruthless opponent to the Cardassia military, as she excelled in bomb-making and guerrilla warfare. She was captured in 2372 by the USS Coral Sea security team after her cell bombed a Cardassian dilithium freighter, Galdar, near DS9. She was sentenced to five years in a labor camp three months later and transferred to Tantalus Penal Colony.
Entry to Starfleet & Dominion War
A year later, she was handpicked and provisionally pardoned as part of the Redemption program for the former Maquis, who were willing to bolster the Starfleet ranks following the battle of Ajilon Prime backslash and as the Starfleet casualties—still not fully regenerated from the Federation-Klingon War—skyrocketed during the early phases of the Dominion War and got worse every day. She completed her enlisted training in the Starfleet Technical Services Academy at Mars and was assigned as a Security / Engineer enlisted to Task Force 17.
TF 17 should be garrison troops, holding the second line to release a “proper” Starfleet personnel to fight the Dominion - but quickly found themselves in the frontlines trenches, plugging holes in the Federation frontlines and as replacements for casualties in other planetary defense battalions as the one on AR-558.
