Tara was born on New Caldari to one of its most wealthy and respected families. She never was able to accept the Caldari way of life. She thought that life could be lived without having to fight if you were willing to make an effort. As soon as she turned 16 years old she left her family, her world and her people behind to live how she felt was right. After getting a ship of her own she became a mercenary in order to survive. She hated having to fight and kill to make a living, but in time she came to accept it after all they were criminals. After awhile Tara and some of the people she met in the galaxy decided that they could try to turn a profit in this galaxy outside of killing people and Odessa was formed.
