By the age of 20, Nessa had become disillusioned with life as underworld scum, and began looking for a way out. It didn't prove as easy as she imagined, but one chance encounter with a Starfleet Recruitment Officer led to her seizing what she saw as her way out, and she enrolled in Starfleet aged 22. At Starfleet Academy, things got even worse for her. As one of the oldest and also least educated cadets in her year (and especially in her class), she was often ridiculed and sneered at by some of the other cadets, which naturally led to a series of violent encounters, where she easily prevailed. This almost led to her explusion from the Academy, however her Diplomacy tutor - Ardus Brey, a Bolian - took pity on her. With the help of Brey and the steward at her halls of residence, Nessa scraped through her training, where she majored in Security, with a minor in Comm/Ops and - at the behest of Ardus Brey - some extracurricular training from the Starfleet Marines program (mostly the discipline modules). | By the age of 20, Nessa had become disillusioned with life as underworld scum, and began looking for a way out.

===Notable Relationships=== | |||
Necessity is a naturally guarded, defensive person and goes to great lengths to build barriers between her true feelings and emotions, and that of other people. Therefore she very rarely 'connects' with others beyond a basic acquaintance. She has very few people she would refer to as a 'friend' in the true sense, and has certainly never loved anyone in a romantic fashion. The following are the closest she has so far come, since joining Starfleet. | |||
'''[[Nicholotti, Kalianna|Kali Nicholotti]]''': Despite only serving under her for a relatively short period, Nessa and Kali seemed to 'click', in a way that made Necessity much more comfortable (genuinely comfortable, as opposed to the facade of lackadaisical comfort and flippantry that she usually displays to everyone) in Kali's presence, and there seemed to be a sense of reciprocation from the CO. Sadly, upon Nessa's return to active duty she was posted to the USS Apollo, and the connection seems to have been severed for now. | |||
'''[[Walker, Lluneh (Luna)|Lluneh Walker]]''': Although she never actually progressed to the point of having a conversation with the woman, when the pair met on the bridge of the USS Victory Nessa was intrigued by the Romulan/Terran hybrid, almost to the point of infatuation. However, as with Kalianna, their time together was short (probably mercifully so in this case). | |||
'''[[Daniels, Colt|Colt Daniels]]''': Probably the closest thing Necessity currently has to a 'friend', and even then not very close. The pair hit it off rather well when working together aboard the Victory, and Colt became one of a select few people to call her "Nessa" to her face and not get punched ([[Jaxx, Andrus|Captain Jaxx]] has also done it, but even Nessa draws the line at assaulting her own captain!). That probably counts for something. | |||
'''[[Lanius, Viktor|Viktor Lanius]]''': Then-Ensign Lanius and Necessity got off on rather the wrong foot on the latter's first day on the Starbase, and due to the former's redeployment to the USS Apollo shortly after, never got the opportunity to rectify that. Nessa's subsequent redeployment to the Apollo with now-Lieutenant Commander Lanius as her first officer has given them the chance to start again, so we'll have to see how that goes. | |||
