Olivia Eleanor Sellards was born on July 8th 2362 to parents Finn and Marie Sellards. From an early age, Olivia showed an aptitude for science, eventually deciding shortly after her eleventh birthday that she wished to become a xenoanthropologist. Preferring not to enlist in Starfleet, she instead obtained a degree from Cambridge University before receiving her doctoral dissertation from the University of Tomobiki on Theta Zibal III. After teaching tenure at the latter she was made Professor, the youngest person to awarded the title in fifty years at UoT. | Olivia Eleanor Sellards was born on July 8th 2362 to parents Finn and Marie Sellards. Just before her 7th birthday, Olivia's parents were told that her maternal uncle had not died during a routine survey mission but in the course of an illegal Federation plot to create a working inter phasic cloaking device. The deception and the reveal of the truth, store Olivia's family apart. Her mother split from her father and turned to drugs- eventually passing away before her daughter's 12th birthday. This fostered a lifelong distrust of Starfleet, who she views as dangerous. | ||

A short while afterwards, she clashes with Professor Jev crim Glev, an archaeologist assigned alongside her, over a recent discovery on a nearby planet that she had kept hidden from the Columbia’s crew. She threatens to ruin his career if he goes over her head. When Dehner Base is attacked by Losarian mercenaries a shortwhile later, she is present when their leader- Kaironn- absconds with the artefacts having been looking for them after detecting them. She and Jev make their way to the Science Centre and speak with Captain Whittaker, informing him that ‘samples’ have been taken from the base.
