Nella Noxwyn was born into the native population of Sigma Iotia II, notable for being a culture twice contaminated by Federation culture in incidents involving the [[USS Horizon]] and the [[USS Enterprise]], respectively. Nella grew up in [[Beamtown]], an industrial transport hub and urban settlement in the middle of an otherwise desolate arctic landscape near the planet's North Pole. Nella's family home was an upstairs level of a popular establishment run by her mother, [[The Beamtown Avenue Cabaret]]. She was involved in the family business from an early age and eventually took on a number of major roles and responsibilities at the club. These included being a stagehand, costumer, janitor, bouncer, bartender, hustler, and femme fatale at various times and phases of her upbringing. Nella grew up surrounded by a number of renowned scoundrels and gangsters who frequented the club. The street smarts she developed from her early childhood to her late teens provided the basis of skills which earned her acceptance into Starfleet Academy. As a Federation citizen, Nella has dreamed of leaving Iotia and serving in Starfleet. She is used to serving in remote areas, and is particularly suited to the lifestyle of a space station or star ship. | Nella Noxwyn was born into the native population of [[ma:Sigma Iotia II|Sigma Iotia II]], notable for being a culture twice contaminated by Federation culture in incidents involving the [[USS Horizon]] and the [[USS Enterprise]], respectively.

She speaks in a vernacular from her native planet, based on the patois spoken by 20th C. mobsters of Chicago on Earth--the source material for the cultural contamination caused by the USS Horizon. She can do no more about this than a person can abandon a native accent, however her attention is usually focused on personal improvement, including her social and communication skills. Nella has an aptitude for and interest in many antiquated techniques, technologies, and skills. Several years of formal Starfleet preparation and training have familiarized her with contemporary equipment and procedure as well. A member of the Noxwyn clan, Nella has a number of unsavoury family ties that could place her at odds with the Federation. It is a constant fear that somehow the shadows of her past will jeopardize her dream career as a Starfleet officer. | She speaks in a vernacular from her native planet, based on the patois spoken by 20th C. mobsters of Chicago on Earth--the source material for the cultural contamination caused by the USS Horizon.
