Her PADD, holoimagers, and communicator are always readily accessible. | |||

After years of wandering, Vada and her mother arrived on Earth in 2288. Tielra opened an inn outside of Paris, catering to visitors to the Federation capital. Vada’s childhood and teenage years were spent helping around in the inn and listening to all of the interesting visitors. While her mother saw Earth as little more than an emergency refuge and didn’t think much one way or another of the Federation, Vada was quick to fall in love with the Human homeworld and saw herself as a citizen of Federation as much as a citizen of what was once El-Auria. | After years of wandering, Vada and her mother arrived on Earth in 2288.

Starbase 11 was where she met Commander Eneaol, the base’s Intelligence Director. She was his yeoman for a little over two years. He arranged for her to become an intelligence specialist, supporting Starfleet Intelligence operations both from the starbase and sometimes in the field in the Klingon Empire. The job taught her investigative skills that would come in handy much later in her life. A potentially promising career as an intelligence asset was put on hold after a stabbing by an Orion Syndicate enforcer required her to take medical leave on Earth to recover. | Starbase 11 was where she met Commander Eneaol, the base’s Intelligence Director.

What she expected to be a minor but interesting assignment would dominate her Starfleet career. Vada rose through the ranks of the enlisted instructors at the Academy, teaching a few generations of Starfleet recruits what it meant to be Starfleet officers. In 2352, she moved to the Starfleet Command School, instructing cadets undergoing advanced command training and trainees in the Officer Candidate School who earned their commissions through atypical means. While a tough instructor, Vada was more understanding than most and would give advice to struggling recruits and cadets to foster their growth into new crewmen and ensigns ready to take on the galaxy. | What she expected to be a minor but interesting assignment would dominate her Starfleet career.
