As a child, the product of her parentage, but as a teen, Barbara demonstrated a shrewd business sense. Her older brother, Amwin, was disowned before she turned eighteen when he left the family business. | ||
At age 18 in 2339, Barbara was sent to business school where her studies focused on interstellar trade and commerce. Quickly catching on to the need for security and policy on the regulation of fair trade, as well as recovery and insurance, she shifted her focus halfway through college and specialized in trade security law, a relatively small and at the time, inconsequencial focus. | At age 18 in 2339, Barbara was sent to business school where her studies focused on interstellar trade and commerce.

But at graduation in 2343, Barbara returned to Paris and quickly was able to market herself as a consultant for Federation policy regarding trade between systems. Meeting her father’s approval, eventually Barbara took over the family business and continued trade and real estate work. Her star would continue rising in Trade over the next five years, providing legal, security and investigative work to traders (and to the dismay of the Ferengi in 2365 when they started arriving, one very good and sharp negotiator for business). | But at graduation in 2343, Barbara returned to Paris and quickly was able to market herself as a consultant for Federation policy regarding trade between systems.

It was on a contract for several civilian businesses in the Starfleet Complex where Barbara first met Barnes Cody in 2348. She was aware of the family name in the sales and production of distilled beverage, and initially, she approached Barnes as a potential client where she could market his family product across the systems. | It was on a contract for several civilian businesses in the Starfleet Complex where Barbara first met [[Barnes Cody]] in 2348.

Nearly avoiding a take-over of the Cody distilling operations, Barbara proved her meddle on what wouldn’t the first, but not the last, crack-down on civilian trade policy. Snagging Barnes for a husband would be a greater challenge, as her younger sister Antoinette died in a shuttle accident and left her as the sole child for what her father, Bartham Jannet, would impose strict impositions on who Barbara would marry. | Nearly avoiding a take-over of the Cody distilling operations, Barbara proved her meddle on what wouldn’t the first, but not the last, crack-down on civilian trade policy.

Barnes Cody would run for another year before Barbara could pin him down long enough to get him down the aisle. They were married on September 4, 2350. | Barnes Cody would run for another year before Barbara could pin him down long enough to get him down the aisle. They were married on September 4, 2350. | ||
Barbara was ready for a change, and so was Barnes. Both of them saw the advantages to removing themselves to the Mars Colonies, where they could establish themselves as independents and still contract with Starfleet when necessary. Their first joint project was the construction of their own house, opting not to build within any given colony, but establish themselves outside of the actual colony cities themselves. They had the house completed in 2351. By this time, Barbara was pregnant with David. | Barbara was ready for a change, and so was Barnes.

But along with the construction of the home, Barbara saw the need to establish her own business from her specialization, and saw the fruitation of it not long after their arrival on Mars. Acquiring a bankrupt business building, with the help of her husband and a team of colony city engineers, Jannet Trade Securities Corporation was built and opened its doors on October 15, 2351. Advocating investigation, security litigation, property retrieval, civilian trade law, the JTSC rose in the next decade as one of the premiere firms. Barbara would go on to train an elite firm of crack-investigators and eventually drew the attention of Starfleet Intelligence in 2365. | But along with the construction of the home, Barbara saw the need to establish her own business from her specialization, and saw the fruitation of it not long after their arrival on Mars.
