Ta'lis was born in 2362 in the Romulan capital city of Ra'tleihfi on ch'Rihan. Her childhood was a normal one for a Romulan child and she didnt get into too much trouble. She entered the Romulan Military Academy at the age of 17 and studied hard. Though she did not graduate anywhere near the top of her class she was given a posting on the I.R.W. Aethra, a Valdore-type warbird, as one of the ships Tactical officers. Onboard the ship she kept to herself, in efforts to keep out of the Tal'Shiar's all seeing presence. She was promoted to Lieutenant aboard the Aetra in 2386. In 2387, when the Hobus star exploded into a supernova, the Aethra was in a position to assist in the evacuation of ch'Rihan. Even though she was an officer aboard the ship, she was unable to ensure that both of her parents were able to be saved, only able to save her mother from the planets surface before the Aethra was forced to retreat from the supernova. Ta'lis was heart borken with the loss of her home, much as all Romulans were. In Mid-2387, never having been that happy with how the Romulan Empire was in relation to the other 'galactic superpowers', and seeing the path that it was slowly winding down in the aftermath of the supernova, Ta'lis defected from the Romulan Empire, and along with her mother, sought refuge in the Federation. Even being a low level Romulan military officer, Starfleet Intelligence took great interest in and and she underwent a lengthy debriefing process with them. When she had suitably proved that she didnt know anymore than what Starfleet themselves did about Romulan capabilities, she sought entrance into Starfleet Academy in the hopes of again serving aboard a starship. Having gone through much of the same basic courses when she had entered the Romulan Military Academy she was able to test out of most of her courses.
