|History=Hathain grew up as the only child to Sitak and Telen on the colony of Trilan through a perfectly mundane childhood. She attended her classes, scoring as well as required of any Vulcan student. The week before she underwent Kolinahr, however, Nova Squadron performed a show as part of a Federation event, and captured the young Vulcan's imagination. The impact, or at least the memory of it, stuck with her through the purging ceremony, and cemented her desire to join Star Fleet and become a pilot.
With a new goal, she was able to focus the choices she made through the remainder of her schooling with a view to passing the Academy entrance exams, being accepted with relative ease. Hathain applied for the pilots' programmes, and met with mixed success. The requisite mathematics were trivial - she could plot and astrogate practically in her sleep - but the actual coordination necessary to [b]'''fly[/b] ''' while doing it escaped her. She ended up figuratively crashing out of the programme and being forced to change her majors.
Undeterred, however, she moved on to the management and guidance of auxiliary craft - a decision questioned by some of her peers due to the overall change in tactical doctrine which now disfavoured the use of small craft in engagements lately dominated by capital craft.
