In 2505, Nika and Nala were 20 years old. The War of Unification began in 2606, and Boros - though closer to the core than Persephone - was considered mostly a Border World. Loyalties on the planet were pretty much to themselves and few others, and like many on the Border, those on Boros resented being told what they HAD to do. Jon Earhart was, by now, middle-aged with a huge spread, two lovely marriageable daughters, and a two-year-old son (JJ). Nika opted to join the Browncoats, as they were later known. Not because she wanted to fight so much, but because she wanted to fly and running the blockade offered both a challenge and a thrill. Sure, she saw fighting too, but in the end she came home safe. Jon supported her -- hell, he told her, if he was ten years younger, he'd go too. A person has the right to make their own way in the universe without interference. Nika jumped around and did various jobs for a variety of people until 2609, when she was recruited by Captain Shyla Kramer aboard an Alliance fast cutter to assist in the theft of said cutter. From then through the end of the war, Nika flew aboard the <i>ISV Harbinger</i> with a [[core group]] of people. | In 2505, Nika and Nala were 20 years old.

Jon passed away a year before the war ended. Nika had managed to get home a few times in the middle of everything, but she wasn't home when he died and it was quite a shock. The second shock was that Nala was married, pregnant, and living on the ranch with Tanya and JJ, her husband Trey acting as the foreman. Her family was thrilled to see her, but Nika just didn't quite feel like she fit anymore. And worse yet... Trey was a rat bastard. She wasn't sure how bad it was until she walked in the kitchen one morning shortly after her return and found her brother-in-law punching her twin in the face. When she threw herself into the fray, Trey turned on Nika with a quip about two being better than one. He assaulted Nika and things might have been much worse if the sight of her husband attempting to rape her twin hadn't galvanized Nala into action. She hit him over the head with a pan, giving Nika time to turn on him and fight for herself. When Trey turned on Nala, roaring about killing her, Nika instead killed him. It was a huge mess, and although Nika was ultimately cleared (self-defense), she hasn't really been home much since it happened -- going home to the speculation and suspicions about why she killed him just doesn't enthuse her. The ranch is in her sister's capable business hands with a trusted foreman and crew handling the cattle. Nika gets reports pretty regularly, what with owning half the thing, but she stays out of the way. |

Nowadays, she spends her time flying for whoever'll have her. (And whoever she feels like flying for.) | Nowadays, she spends her time flying for whoever'll have her. (And whoever she feels like flying for.) | ||
