Background
Aina Darvash was born aboard the spaceship Last Frontier into a family of skilled engineers.

Despite their significant contributions, the Darvash family maintained a reputation for independent thinking, a trait that later conflicted with the emerging Federal Confederation's strict regulations.
Following the establishment of the Federal Confederation in 2631, Aina’s father, Elan Darvash, was arrested in 2632 for distributing unsanctioned technologies to settlers, actions deemed illegal under the newly enforced Federal rules. This event profoundly impacted Aina, fostering a deep resentment towards the Federal system’s oppressive control.
