Nadezhda, 'Nat' for short, first left Londinium for the Black on tour with her band, "Shooting Starlight", with dreams of interplanetary stardom. They did enjoy some touring success, but mostly on the frontier worlds where folks were desperate for any sort of entertainment. The band didn't really go anywhere, and they broke up over a terminal case of conflicting egos*. Nat didn't want to go back to planetbound life, performing at dive bars and birthday parties for the rest of her life if she was lucky. She managed to line up a job on a cruise yacht instead. Look, waiting tables and doing party sets in space was way better.

<sub>*Lizzie Hua, the band's former backup singer and second guitar, did have one chart-topping single with her next band, and has charted several times since. Nat will admit now that she was a dumb prima donna back in the day, but she was sore about it for a long time.</sub>

Of course, the War sent the interplanetary cruise industry into lurching freefall, but she'd been in the Black a few years and managed to get a feel for the life. After spending a spell working planetside bars on Persephone, she talked her way onto the crew of a roving freighter as negotiator and cook. Okay, mostly cook at first, but she proved her worth to the crew soon enough. She hadn't expected to be pulling jobs for Browncoat sympathizers as much as Unificationists, but work was work, and it beat getting pressed fully into the merchant marine of either side.
