-Early Life-

Kat was born in Łódź, Poland, to a military family. She was the youngest of 3 children and their only daughter. Her brothers followed in the footsteps of their parents, and enlisted early becoming model cadets.Kat, instead rebelled, spending her teen years as a Spectrum streamer and occasional model focusing both around and taking part in street racing (mostly motorcycles) and tuner culture. She was a natural driver and moderately popular, although tended to draw the ire of her peers for making their events more public.As her father retired from the military, Kat continued to act out against her parents until her 16th year, when she was “rubbed” during a race against an ex-lover turned rival. She was pushed into a storefront, wrecking her bike and causing a heavy bit of property damage. No one was hurt, but her videos made it easy to convict her of multiple accounts of speeding, reckless endangerment, malicious mischief and other charges from misdemeanors to felonies. Being a minor, she was sent to a military academy at the behest of her parents.A bit humbled, she continued to act out, but less so and rarely in any way that caused lasting trouble. This is also where she found her second love - flying.

-Military Life-

Kat began to calm down a bit under the regimented lifestyle of military schooling. She still pushed the boundaries of what her instructors would tolerate, but began to learn more to test the limits rather than just ignoring them. As such, she actually began to flourish. Likewise. her instructors knew her attitude and love for flying made her a natural pilot candidate, and began to push her that way. She was hooked, taking further duties to earn additional flight time. As a gift for her 18th birthday, and because of how much she had grown her parents purchased her her first ship, a stock Origin 350r. In her free time she worked on it, becoming a bit of a mechanic herself, and racing it on weekends when she could get leave.The attack on Vega occurred shortly before her graduation, and with that her brothers were sent into the war effort. She enlisted immediately after graduating, taking to the training with an uncharacteristic seriousness. Her instructors would still note a certain undercurrent of defiance in her, but it came through as a laser focus and tendency to push things (such as the chain of command or her equipment's abilities) as far as she could without crossing the breaking point.She graduated from the flight academy near the top of her class and was shipped out almost immediately, her experience and reputation allowing her to quickly advance to the position of Flight Leader for her squadron.

-Recent History-

For the first months of the war Kataryna showed exemplary service and natural leadership, leading her Flight through various cargo and supply missions through hostile territory. More than once she was able to drop personnel into active hot zones, leading to the UEE being able to take and hold strategically vital locations.Things began to change when she received word of the death of her youngest brother Petro (First SGT, UEE Infantry). She put it out of her mind, mind at first. He was a soldier, they said. He died for the commonwealth, her superiors said. He was a war hero, her parents said.[REDACTED][REDACTED]After the events of the war, and the death of Petro, Kat found herself adrift. She gradually grew resentful of the UEE and eventually packed a small bag into her 350, setting off into the Void to be as far away from civilization as she could. She raced to support herself; she quickly realized that on a galactic scale, she really wasn't very good and didn't win often, but between what little she could make off of racing and doing the odd courier job she usually could make enough credits to keep herself clothed and moderately drunk.
