The Vort family where once one of the more influential
of the families on Altha III, they stood against the
Dominion 200 years ago in the battle of Azadal. They
helped destroy anything the usurpers could take for
their own advantages.
twenty four years ago a dark haired baby girl called
Izshnala was born into the family.
Four years later Damal Vort, his brothers and sisters,
his father and mother declared Valdurat on the
Dominion, they called them imposters and declared that
the people of Altha III should rise up and take their
home land back.
Minor skirmishes where won throughout the planet
thanks to the Alterians psionic capabilities.
Twelve years ago Dalran Vort was killed by a jem'Hadar
while he tried to assasinate the Vorta controller. He
handed his psionic bow and wrist device to his eldest
grandchild declaring her the hope for his family and
their people.
Seven years ago the Dominion came back, raining fire
and destruction down on the mainly peaceful people of
Altha III, a 17 year old Izshnala was forbidden to
join the fight she was smuggled into a hiding place
with her mother izla, the battle raged for many an
hour until the sheer force of the Dominion forces
destroyed the rebellion, they waited a day and a night
before they snook from their hiding place.
Eventually the mother and daughter found Damal and
managed to take him away from the planet where he now
had a bounty on his head. They glided through space
towards tales of a fortress in space near a wormhole.
They found the then GS-1 and asked for sanctuary.
Izshnala spent a year on the gateway under the
protection of starfleet and the federation before she
put in a request to join starfleet academy.
She went through vigourous testing before she was
accepted where it was discovered her psionic abilities
were limited to the use of the weapons and protection
device and a kind of sixth sense for danger that was
sometimes hit and miss.
Izshnala went through starfleet happily enough making
a few friends, but her aim was always to get out and
see the universe.
