== Biography ==
On stardate 83832.9 (2409), she accompanied Kardok's to Nimbus III searching for an Orion Syndicate boss, Hassan the Undying. When Kardok failed to obtain information from Two of Eight, a proprietor of Paradise City, he determined to search elsewhere, but Natanu recommended staying within the city until a nearby sandstorm blew past. Another citizen of the town, named Horace Jones, then sent them to some ruins to the north that turned out to be a dead end.
Upon returning to Paradise City, they encountered an away team from the , who were down on the planet for an entirely different reason. The two groups joined up, and they spoke with a former peacekeeper, named Law, who agreed to show them the way to Hassan's base of operations in exchange for asylum. In order to better conceal themselves – at Natanu's suggestion – they split into two groups upon reaching the hideout. Natanu led one group while Tlaszh led the other. At the entrance of the Shangdu, a nightclub run by Hassan, they encountered an Orion bouncer who openly insulted Natanu for her half- heritage. Kardok offered her encouragement, telling her the other Orion was not fit to walk the same ground as she was.
Once inside, Natanu's team made their way into the main lounge and sat at a table. Jason Fredricks and Kardok were posing as Natanu's slaves, so they were made to sit on the floor. While they waited, Natanu ordered some drinks to make them less suspicious. Vance L'eher then decided to covertly gather information from patrons around the room while the others remained at the table. This quickly proved to be a mistake, as he was found by Hassan and forced into his arena. Natanu and the others attempted to save Vance, but Hassan and his bouncers beat them down with little effort. Hassan subsequently ordered them all to be thrown into the ring along with Vance.
