Aria was always interested in mechanics, math, and engineering, to the annoyance of her parents who were expert marksmen, logisticians, strategists, and could not understand Engineering as anything more than a 'maintenance' function. Aria's interest was brought to a head at the age of 10 when she found a Replicator that seemed beyond repair, and everyone told her it never would be. | Aria was always interested in mechanics, math, and engineering, to the annoyance of her parents who were expert marksmen, logisticians, strategists, and could not understand Engineering as anything more than a 'maintenance' function.

When Aria looked around she realized there were boroughs in her own city where people still went hungry and went without. She realized an easy way to help would be to begin repairing things, starting with the scavenged replicator. Despite her family's insistence it could not be done she searched high and low for replicator parts, taught herself how the machine should operate, and eventually got it functional well enough to feed one of the poorer areas of the city for three years before it eventually had to be replaced. | ||
The people around her, most of her classmates, friends, and all of her family, were interested in picking up phasers so they could go and become 'Heros of the Resistance', but during her scavenging efforts she met the Resistance's engineers who kept the ships running, their weapons repaired, and kept a low profile. It was during this time she began to realize there more than one way to serve a cause. The same engineers spoke of engineering works helping entire planets and species. They spoke of learning things to help the entire galaxy, and the older ones spoke as if Starfleet was the way to help as many people as possible for as little effort expended. | The people around her, most of her classmates, friends, and all of her family, were interested in picking up phasers so they could go and become 'Heros of the Resistance', but during her scavenging efforts she met the Resistance's engineers who kept the ships running, their weapons repaired, and kept a low profile.
