Tragically, at the age of 15, when a charismatic religious leader in the Bajoran community, Suek Harran, staged a take-over and coup of the colony's governing council members Seneca's fathers were killed in the ensuing violence. Seneca was taken in by a local Bajoran StarFleet liaison officer, Jaia Kareese, and was sheltered by her from the now chaotic, violent, and governmentless colonists and followers of Suek. Jaia desperately tried to get Sen off world, but with Suek's followers in control of the colony's only space port and improvised anti-air defenses a peaceful Federation landing was near impossible. Seneca and Jaia fought to survive for three more years in the thralls of the despotic regime before Kareese was finally able to obtain transport. | Tragically, at the age of 15, when a charismatic religious leader in the Bajoran community, Suek Harran, staged a take-over and coup of the colony's governing council members Seneca's fathers were killed in the ensuing violence.

Kareese taught Seneca not to hate the Bajoran community as a whole for what had happened to her fathers, that idealists didn't always represent the core values of their race's culture. Kareese taught Seneca not to be bitter, but to look forward to the future. That future was StarFleet. As soon as Jaia and Seneca rendezvoused with their StarFleet transport Seneca applied to the Academy and was accepted. | ||
Seneca attended the StarFleet Academy on Earth, her race's home world, in France. While at StarFleet Academy Seneca studied at Marseille's LIGO observatory for her doctoral work as she fought for doctorates in theoretical and applied astrophysics. At the Academy, alongside astrophysics, Seneca specialized in exobiology, xenobiology, subspace mechanics, and transwarp theory. In the summer of 2393 she graduated and was posted to the USS ''Payne-Gaposchkin''. Her most notable mission of service aboard the ''Payne-Gaposchkin'' was the survey of the space-time eddies in the Thone system. | |||
After her one year training tour was completed, Seneca was promoted to the rank of ensign and assigned to the sovereign-class starship USS ''Gorkon'' where she currently serves as a science officer under the command of Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds. | After her one year training tour was completed, Seneca was promoted to the rank of ensign and assigned to the sovereign-class starship USS ''Gorkon'' where she currently serves as a science officer under the command of Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds. | ||
