After graduating from the University of Kansas, Katia entered into officer training at Starfleet Academy.

In April of 2376, Katia requested leave so that she could find out what had happened to her friend, Sara Jackson, when she was told she had passed away in a shuttle accident. In doing so, she encountered USS Baldwin (NCC-2013) captain Richie Kennedy, who explained what had actually happened - Sara had been shot by a Section 31 agent. After thinking it over through a dream, she agreed to help revive Sara using the Vorta cloning process and to be the one to explain everything to her friend. (: "Infinity")
