Early Life
Very little is known of T'Pau's early life, including her birth name, as she has been reticent to share much information. What is known is that she was born on the Orion Freighter Sigga, while on a trade run in the year 2332. Her parents were supposedly wealthy traders, with possible connections in the Orion Syndicate, though not actually members. Her mothers expected her to take over the family business as the oldest born female, but T'Pau hated her family, hated the business and hated how her mothers exerted control over the men, treating them as little more than slaves. She did however love science and enjoyed piloting the freighter and here picked up her early interest in astro-navigation and astrophysics. She refuses to talk about anything else involving her childhood including how she escaped that life and joined Starfleet.
Career
T'Pau showed up on Earth with little more than her chosen name and the clothes on her back. She admires the Vulcans and chose her name in honor of one of their greatest leaders and reformers and hopes to one day show her people that they can be more than criminals and hedonists. T'Pau was determined to join Starfleet no matter how difficult her situation as she saw a great opportunity there to make something of herself. She was one of the first Orions to apply and showed up to exam day, homeless, hungry, still wearing her one pair of ragged traveling clothes and fighting hard to keep her pheromones in check. Despite these difficulties she aced the exam and quickly jumped into her studies, eventually graduating at the top of her class.
Her first assignement was aboard the USS (fill out the rest later when I have time).
