Biography
Life on Tatooine
Natalya Volkov was born day 245, year-2 to Andrei and Nastasia Volkov. They were two wealthy merchants who operated several shops and dealt with privatized real estate. Growing up, she had all her heart could desire until her mother gave birth to a pair of twins in year 8, Anya and Raidon. With her mother at home taking care of the twins, Natalya was expected to take over her mother's responsibilities for the family business. She was a quick learner and picked up management techniques and understanding computers very quickly. Soon she was running a small trinket store by herself, while her father ran the rest of the businesses. As she grew older, she started losing interest in her job. She heard exciting adventures from her father during his military days and she wanted to explore the galaxy. On her twenty-first birthday, she found an advertisement from the New Republic government. They were looking for recruits. She took the flier to her father and asked if she could go, and reluctantly he gave her his blessing. Never looking back,flier in hand, Natalya eagerly caught a shuttle to start the next chapter of her life at the New Republic Academy
The New Republic
Natalya Volkov joined the new Republic shortly after her twenty-first birthday, year 19 day 247. Receiving perfect marks on all of her exams, she graduated the New Republic Academy with her new friend August Cain and became friends with the Dean of recruiting, Gothar Elensar. Shortly after her graduation celebration, Natalya applied for the Ministry of Civil Engineering where Minister Coren Rinou welcomed her immediately. When Gothar Elensar discovered Natalya's appointment into the Ministry of Civil Engineering, he spoke to Minister Rinou to arrange that Natalya's first assignment was assisting him in Tyrius where he is currently Governor.
Tyrius
Natalya arrived to Tyrius on Year 19 Day 252. While Governor Elensar was away on an important mission, Natalya was invited to join a hunting expedition in the swamps of Rodia with her friend August. Her friend departed from their hunting trip early to join the New Republic Military, inspiring Natalya to join the New Republic Reserves. She promptly made it back to the city and contacted the local Reserves liaison Loren Zolo to fill out her application. on Year 19 day 269 Natalya was commissioned into the Reserves as a Second Lieutenant.
Shortly after Natalya joined the Reserves, Governor Elensar returned to Tyrius from active duty. When he discovered that Natalya had joined the armed forces, he agreed to give her specialized training lessons to help prepare for the battlefield. The two spent a lot of time together training and Gothar Elensar started to get suspicious of Natalya's abilities in combat. After a few weeks of Natalya proving herself to be a natural, Master Elensar decided to have her properly tested to see if she was able to tap into the force. There was soon no question where her abilities came from, and Gothar Elensar offered to mentor her in the ways of the force,in addition to training her in combat. She became his padawan and was pushed even harder than before. During one of her training sessions,she was trying to stun a herd of fambaas, there was a horrible accident that left her arm crushed beyond healing. Gothar Elensar acted with great haste and notified Gile Landala of Republic Medical to organize an emergency operation for Natalya. The doctors are Republic Medical did their best, saving and repairing Natalya's arm, but her hand was beyond their abilities. Doctor Landala made the official call, that there was no other option but amputation and to perform a risky cybernetic reconstructive surgery, after many tedious hours, Doctor Landala woke Natalya up with the news of a problem-free operation. She would have to undergo some therapy to get used to her new cybernetic hand with Doctor Landala, which started their long and prosperous friendship.
Upon her return to Tyrius, Natalya continued the rigorous training with her Master. She worked hard and learned a lot under the direction of Gothar, until she wanted to take a more prominent role in the Knights of the Republic. With her Master's blessing she approached the council and requested that she be assigned to Dagobah. After the council took time to deliberate, her request was granted. Her transfer was made official on year 19 day 336. On the last evening with her former Master Gothar Elensar she thanked him for all her training, overwhelmed with how far she grew under his direction. Hours before departure, Gothar was seen hugging his former apprentice, and insisting that she stay in contact on a special frequency he had set up. He also gave her a map, with instructions on how to forge a lightsbaer and where to find the necessary materials to construct one. Natalya promised Gothar she would stay in touch, and that she would go unlock the secrets to the lightsaber before arriving to her next post. In a bittersweet moment, Natalya left Tyrius with a friend for life and a new mission to obtain her first Lightsaber.
Dagobah
As part of her last lesson from her former Master, Gothar Elensar, Natalya left Tyrius in search of the required materials to construct her first lightsaber. The journey took her around the galaxy until she ended up at a remote temple in Kiffex. While there, she was invited to participate in a hunting expedition, missing the trips from Rodia, Natalya agreed and they left for another journey. While hunting down a pack of sand panthers, Natalya met a nomad named Kara DuMonte. The two women connected instantaneously, as if it had been the will of the force for them to meet. For the rest of the expedition, Kara and Natalya bonded closely. On the last night of the hunting expedition, Kara offered to take Natalya on as her apprentice to train her in the Force. Natalya reluctantly explained about her mission from Gothar Elensar, her assignment to Dagobah, and her plans for the future. When Natalya finished, she was confused that Kara was simply smiling back at her. Kara commended her dedication to her duty, and told her that if she wanted to learn the Force, they would work out the rest. Relieved, Natalya agreed to become Kara's new apprentice. The two began training together while in Kiffex, and on Natalya's last night there, Kara informed her that she would be going to Dagobah to continue training her in between her duties.
