Birth and Childhood
Tawana Ralo Killan was born to Aumil Killan and Milana Ralo in 2348.

During her childhood, she ferried between staying with her mother and her father. When she was with her mother, a Starfleet commander, she felt welcome and as if she belonged as other Starfleet officers and Federation civilians treated her as an equal. When with her father on Trill, however, she felt substandard because she could never been entirely Trill.

This feeling had an adverse effect on her achievements, often being the quiet, unnoticed achiever.

Starfleet Academy
Tawana Killan attended Starfleet Academy from 2366 to 2369. During this time, she blossomed, allowing her bright, bubbly personality to emerge.

Aboard the USS Palmerston North
Ensign Tawana Killan was flight controller aboard the USS Palmerston North (NCC-5619). Sometime between her graduation from the Academy in 2369 and 2371, Killan saved the Palmerston North from certain destruction, steering the ship away from an automated Cardassian Dreadnaught blowing gaping holes in the Palmerston North's hull.

Even though her actions saved the ship and approximately 75% of the crew, Killan retreated into herself once again.

Aboard the USS Koru
Tawana Killan joined the USS Koru (NCC-59563) as the flight controller at the ship's launch in 2371.

In 2372, when Commander Scott Fack joined the Koru team to lead a recovery mission. Killan was the flight controller aboard the USS Avon (NCC-72467), recovering the USS William Hamilton's flight recorder. Her excellent piloting skills again saved the Avon from certain destruction.

Aboard the USS Cantabrian
After the Korus destruction, Killan accepted an assignment as flight controller aboard the USS Cantabrian (NCC-24705) after the Cantabrians flight controller's death on Starbase Expanse 4.
