Editing Natasha Durov (section)

== Starfleet History ==
Natasha finished her enlistment with high honors and grades, and found herself on track to graduating as an officer. It required 2 extra years at Starfleet Academy, but it was what she wanted. 

As an Ensign her first assignment was aboard a science vessel. With her excellent marks at the academy she was posted immediately as the junior officer on the bridge as its Operations Officer. Her skill set in Computer Science and her outstanding communication ability made her a perfect candidate for the position.

Nine months went by without incident on her first assignment. It wasn’t until her 183rd day on the job when her career got hairy. No complications were foreseen in their assignment of investigating gas clouds made mostly of chloride. The gas cloud began to affect a nearby world. The science vessel was ordered to render aide to the planet. 

When the senior crew went to the surface to speak with the inhabitants, they were kidnapped. On the ship the officer left in charge (a young Lieutenant) didn’t take charge of the situation, and was not taking immediate action to find a solution. 

Natasha risked her career to overstep the Lieutenant. Her risked paid off. She successfully put a security team together to safely remove the senior crew from their underground prison cells. She also was able to use her diplomatic and communication skills to explain to the inhabitants that her crew was there to help save the planet, and that the attack on their prison cells was required.

After a military hearing her peers found her not guilty of any charges. Despite the charges Natasha received the Legion of Honor commendation, and promoted to full lieutenant. Her rank increase moved to full lieutenant because her rank was already in transition of being moved to junior lieutenant. 

As a new lieutenant and a hero she was moved to a more active ship where Starfleet felt like they could use her skills. She quickly took over as Chief of Operations once on the tactical vessel. This was also when she had the pleasure of working under the command of Robert LoDona. 

She continued to impress her superior officers with her ingenuity, diplomatic skills, and the ability to always get the job done. It took little time for her to be recommended to the executive officer position. 

When she received the First Officer position she was also given a promotion of commander. She was serving on a mid-size exploration vessel. During one particular mission the vessel found itself stuck in a continuing loop inside of a worm hole. During one of the attempts to exit the worm hole, the ship was shook nearly to pieces. During the violent attempt the Captain was killed by falling debris. 

Natasha took command of the ship at that point. Her and her crew spent another 6 days in the worm hole before they were able to find a way out. The ship was badly damaged, but once it was fixed Natasha was given command permanently. 

She remained a Captain for several years, and sided with the 52nd fleet, before she turned in her command to further her career. This time she was going to need to use her diplomatic skills, but she was going to have to learn a whole new skill: espionage.

Her new mission was to help an underground rebellion against a tyrant government that was not recognized by the United Federation of Planets. She stayed the liaison between the UFP and rebellion forces for over a year. Once the war was over Natasha was able to come home. 

She was awarded with the Order of Honor commendation. Natasha was then promoted to Admiral and currently serves as an Admiral of the fleet.
