History
Birth 2349
While Arin’s existence was planned, the outcome wasn’t. Her mother Jayni, legal had been part of a plot to steal a starship. When the mother later called the unsuspecting father to kidnap her out of the Orion family, it had sparked a legal battle. Thus, Arin grew up on a Federation planet.
Long summers and a keen inquisitive nature, Arin grew up a tomboy near farms and hard-working miners. She learned a good deal about human nature and work ethics. Her father was a pilot and encouraged her to be around aircraft of all kinds. Showing an aptitude for flight, she quickly earned a pilot’s license even before finishing her primary schooling. If she wasn’t flying them, she would be working on them. Being a mining and agricultural world, Solarion offered Arin many hours of flight time she could add to her logbook. One time, shuttling parts to the nearby orbital dock, she witnessed the near warp arrival of USS Crazy Horse, an Excelsior class starship. It was love at first sight. She worked hard and was accepted to Starfleet Academy the second time around.
Post Primary School 2367
Due to the tremendous amount of lucrative work, Arin stayed at Solarion for a while. Mostly around the planet but did get to run the occasional shuttle run into orbit. Finally, even that was becoming tedious, and she yearned for more.
Starfleet Academy 2368
Narrowly making Starfleet Academy the first round, Flight school initially irritated Arin. It seemed so basic and waiting for the rest of the class to catch up had gotten her into trouble. She never had to study and was bad about turning in homework assignments, which in turn irritated her teachers as she aced every exam. One morning, her instructors ambushed her with a pop quiz in the form of an aircraft check-out. When she committed no errors, they prepared a far more extensive exam. After passing that she was allowed to help train the others in problems areas and graduated at the top of her class.
Graduation 2372
She had the pic of assignments and picked an unlikely posting at Utopia Planetia shipyards. It was a chance to see and fly the latest Starfleet designs and learn more about her Irish heritage. Not to mention the various air and space museums that were many places on Earth.
In 2375 she was promoted to Lieutenant Jg and transferred to a more active role with the Federation on war footing.
