| Personal History | Elena Navarra was born in Spanish Harlem, NY, to Noelia y Sevilla and Jonas Navarra in 2353. Her parents were both diplomats for the Federation Diplomatic Corp and spent the majority of Elena’s youth traveling the galaxy with her in tow. It was during this time that Elena found she had a knack for learning various languages and would accompany her parents to their diplomatic sessions, and even assist them in some instances. Elena loved the work of helping people through the power of words, but from the lands she visited, it was not lost on her that words were not the language all embraced or understood. Elena learned that sometimes action needed to be taken in place of words. At the age of 17, Elena entered Starfleet Academy and concentrated on the Command school with a focus on Negotiations, Hostile Species (advanced training in tactics for dealing with hostile species), and Non-Traditional Situations. This course provided advanced training in how to deal with non-traditional situations on a starship or base. One example would be dealing with Pre-Warp cultures, should the Prime Directive somehow be compromised. After finishing at the Academy, Elena was posted on the U.S.S Potemkin where she specialized in first-contact scenarios with the Federation Diplomatic Corp. On her third first contact mission on the planet Antica in the Beta Renner system, Elena was taken hostage along with her fellow diplomats when the Antican king decided that she would be better suited as a wife in the Kings' Harem than as a diplomat. The king hastily married Elena making her his first and sent her back to the Harem in preparation for their wedding night. At that time, Elena garnered the trust of the other women in the harem and using her words of persuasion talked them into revolting. During that revolt, the king was killed. An investigation was held and the Starfleet JAG office charged Elena with violating the Prime Directive. During her trial, Elena stated that there was no violation because she was made an official Antican citizen in the marriage ceremony to the former king. When Starfleet JAG spoke with the new King of Antica, he confirmed that Elena was a full-fledged citizen of Antica, even if it was against her will. The new king then stated that he still wanted first-contact negotiations to continue. Elena then suggested that she be the one to carry forth the negotiations since she was a citizen and had already started the process. Elena was able to bring the Anticans into the Federation as a member of the royal family and diplomat. It was this situation that garnered her the nickname the widow or widow maker. Impressed with her poise and sense of negotiation tactics and insight, Starfleet Command dismissed all charges against Elena and promoted her to the rank of Lieutenant. It wasn’t long before Elena was thrust through the ranks to take on more challenging negotiations until she reached the rank of Commander. She was then shipped to various sectors to help negotiate peace treaties for various worlds that have built the Federation into the strong organization that it is today. |
