Backstory

---

All the same as the real Tasha until she reaches the Academy. In her third year Tasha was accused of cheating in her engineering tests and she was expelled from the academy. In an act of petty spite she crept back onto the campus, and stole a Runabout. She also left a large Unicorn painted on the hangar floor, in case they weren't sure who took the Runabout.

Starfleet tried to find their missing Runabout, but Tasha hadn't cheated in her tests and knew exactly how to deactivate the Runabout transponder and hide it from Starfleet sensors. She spent a few months hopping around the federation in her stolen Runabout before she ended up at Outpost Schulman.

It took her a few days to realize that the Outpost was a Marquis haven. When she realized she figured that their cause was a noble one and she joined them. She gained a quick reputation as an expert engineer, and soon ended up serving on the Skarbek.

She lost her left arm during a firefight against a group of Cardassian soldiers when a wall collapsed on her, her arm was crushed and amputated. She built a prosthetic with the help of the medical personnel aboard the Skarbek.
