Personal History:
When Kaya was small, her parents ran a small restaurant in the coastal
city of Juren. Although they appeared to cooperate with the Cardassians,
they allowed the Resistance to use their basement as a safehouse.
The Cardassians eventually discovered the truth. During the ensuing
raid, Neral sacrificed himself in order for Kaya and her mother to escape.
The pair fled into the city, where Liana succumbed to her injuries a few
hours later.
A gang of orphans took Kaya in, and she spent several years on the streets.
Kaya and her friends lived in abandoned buildings, stealing food and anything
else of value just to survive.
Kaya formally joined the Resistance at age fourteen, doing
whatever she could to help out. Two years later, she fell in love with
a handsome young rebel named Kallyn. After the two became lovers, Kallyn
turned abusive.
After becoming pregnant by Kallyn, Kaya fled the cell. She knew the
Resistance was no place to raise a child, and she would not submit it
to Kallyn’s abusive behavior. Kaya had her child at a remote orphanage.
She left Ahnji there in the hopes she would have a chance at a better
life, and joined a different cell.
After the Cardassians withdrew in 2369, Kaya joined the Militia where
she served as a Security Officer. But with the Occupation over, she found
herself strangely unhappy. She decided not to try to locate Ahnji – it
would be a monumental effort with Bajor in shambles, and she hated to
bring any more complications into the child’s life.
Kaya served on Bajor during the Dominion War, and decided to transfer
to Starfleet when Bajor joined the Federation. Since she had almost no
formal education, she had to obtain a Federation GED before Starfleet
would even consider her for transfer. This sparked a love of learning
she maintains to this day.
After graduation, she accepted a posting on the USS Vigilant, where she
earned a field proficiency in starship weapon and defensive systems.
Being so low in the hierarchy irked Kaya - with her experience, she felt
she deserved a higher position. When Starfleet offered her the MAA slot
on the Swiftsure, she jumped at the chance.
