Sheena Bik

## Biography

Sheena Bik was born on Sobekka in 2414, during the recovery period of the Sobekka Hegemony. In 2419, the Sobekkan people, while a rather primitive species with basic levels of space travel, were given adaptive Borg Collective nanite technology by the New Romulan Star Empire, which resulted in the Sobekka assimilating themselves accidentally in the Black Eye Borg Collective. The collective was only defeated in March 2421, when the U.S.S. Callisto managed to shut down the original Borg nanites with new reprogrammed nanites, freeing the Sobekka from their assimilated state.

However due to this embarrassment at this incident, the Sobekkan Hegemony retreated to an isolationist state to rebuild their society which had been decimated by this incident and refused all contact with either the Galactic Commonwealth or Black Eye Consortium, sealing their borders.

Born into this chaos in 2419, Sheena's father was a well respected and exceptionally talented *"Huntmaster"*, leading his tribe, the *Bik* to absorb several smaller tribes during *The Plasma War*, a devastating conflict between multiple tribes on Sobekka, where the Sobekkans used powerful Borg technology left over from their time as a collective to wage war on the planet, destroying many of Sobekka's lush swamps in the process with plasma fires.

With most of the Borg technology in a deactivated state due to the reprogrammed nanites, the Sobekka had no immediate way to use the immense Borg Trigon Class ships in orbit around their world, most of which fell into a decaying orbit and crashed on their world, a process that is still very much happening today. As a result, massive population centres would have to be moved out of the way of the impact sites from the crashing ships, an event that the Sobekka would describe as *"The Past Fire"*.

*The Plasma War* served as a reunification event of the Sobekkan people, most of which had been scattered due to their assimilation, with *The Alliance* of *Tribe Bik, Tribe Col* and *Tribe Orn* taking over control of the lesser tribes over the planet.

Sheena's childhood was one of constant warfare, having been born during one of the many of her father's battles, where his encampment was attacked by several other warring tribes. At the age of 7, Sheena was already a skilled warrior, riding a *Sek'an* beast into battle on multiple occasions.

In 2451, the Plasma Wars finally came to the end with victory for the Alliance, however her father did not live long enough to see it, having been slain by his daughter's own hand when he was severely wounded during the *Battle of the Falling Star*, a battle that took place deliberately under a crashing Trigon Class in the hopes it would decimate enemy forces. Sheena's mother became the head of Tribe Bik, who had finally finished construction of the first spacefaring vessel of the new Sobekkan era.

Within two years, Sobekka had re-established contact with the Galactic Commonwealth amongst others in the Black Eye Galaxy and with humanitarian support had begun to clean up the debris still in orbit around their planet. However the planet was devastated and parts of ships and debris still littered its surface, becoming the home for many Sobekkan tribes who now lived in a state of relatively peace under Alliance rule.

In 2453, Sheena was chosen as the Sobekkan Hegemony's ambassador to the Galactic Commonwealth and had relocated to Io (Arkhosia II-D), which she found it difficult to adjust to the Arkhosian's more peaceful way of living. Sheena used this opportunity while stationed on Io to gather more information on the Megalodon Syndicate, who had been an ancient rival of the Sobekkan Hegemony, in the hopes of building enough ships and infrastructure to one day conquer it.
