Personal History

• Vojana grew up on a space station, almost. Bukva is a farming colony in Kalandra sector on a supply line between Vulcan and Betazed. First few decades’ people lived on a planet, but its long days and nights had a bad influence on health and lifespan. So since colony was flourishing, soon they bought a space station both for living and as trade depot. Youngest of 10, she was never forced to do anything. Growing up always just playing, life was a game for her until she, in the age of 18 realized, she don’t have a clue what she want with her life.

• She knew nothing about farming or breeding, and all “posts” on their farm was filled already. Two of her brothers (Marko and Goran) were accomplished farmers, youngest sister before Vojana (Milka) was kind of “ranger”, taking care of forest conservation around their farm, and the hewing down for space. Gordana becoming a wet choose horsebreed to grew animals best for work on a farm, while twins Franc and Franciska were the most famous vets for whole colony.

• Feeling useless she approached father asking for permission to take a year of sabbatical and travel in search for “herself”, her place in life. Despite with heavy heart he gave her a blessing and finances. In her travels she met young Starfleet officer. He showed her life in Starfleet, teaches her a lot about engineering… but when she decided to join Robert left her, cause “as both officers they’ll never be together.”

• After several nights in tears she took a test and was accepted. Her father took it seemingly hard, and didn’t gave her any hint of being happy with her choice until her graduation, when organized a celebration station/colony will never forget.

• On academy Vojana was as lost as before, her reluctance to make her choice in life was pushing her professors to the limit.

• She first majored in HCO (helm, communications, operations), being very active in Sciences. But at the end of second year, made her final decision, and joined Starfleet Medical, where spent two years in specialized classes. As a cadet and resident doctor was stationed for two years on USS Varazdin (where specialised in diagnostics and surgery), from which graduated in 238306.15 and as Medical officer was transferred to USS Independence – A, in command of Rear Admiral Jessa Kyrn Anassasi. As young Ensign, Vojana was quite frightened surrounded with higher, and much higher ranking officers, fearing they may be unwilling to follow her orders, but was very surprised by the fact that everyone listened, without objections.
