Biography:
Kassha Nitai (34) is a native Bajoran, born in 2344 into slavery under the Cardassian occupation. Better accomplishment of production quotas for her cell translated to somewhat less harsh treatment and relatively plentiful nourishment.
In 2352, her cell was moved to Setlik III to establish a new labour colony to extract mineral deposits. Poor equipment and environmental conditions (leading to illness) caused production shortfalls, which, in turn, brought harsher treatment: emotional, physical and sexual abuse.
The only saving grace was the fact that the adults in the cell did all they could to educate the young. While inferior to a real education, it served to teach mathematics, history and reading.
2359 saw a better turn for Kassha. Beaten, bleeding and practically starving, Federation marines liberated the colony. Medical care was rendered and the refugees were relocated to Trill. Here, Kassha did all she could to excel in her studies. Driven by gratitude for being saved and a desire to return the favor, she secured an appointment to Starfleet Academy.
Most of the physical scars were repaired by dermal regeneration, but there are many prominent scars on her back.Emotionally, still fears being locked away in dark places. That fear, along with a general distrust of Cardassians, comprise the most notable effects of her childhood experiences.
She has served as communications officer on USS Argos (Miranda class), Chief Tactical Officer (USS Constantine) with a brief stint as Damage Control Specialist on USS Apollo.
