Her sense of adventure and curiosity about the cosmos beyond the icy mountains of home called inspiring her to focus her studies to science. Unfortunately, it was the drive to remain true to their blood roots that lead to the death of Odan, the eldest of the three children after being killed in action with the Andorian Imperial Guard in 2430. The news of his loss caused a sharp downturn in the health of her mother Leni, whom had already suffered from various ailments due to her advance years.

Once stabilised Zhora resumed her service with a new posting to the USS Fraklin and most surprisingly promotion to Chief Science Officer having been temporarily filling the role upon the Copernicus until her leave of absence.

The USS Fraklin was drafted into the Task Force that took part in assaulting this powerhouse, they were heavily out gunned and overwhelmed consequently the ship was lost in the battle. Thankfully due to the selfless acts of others Zhora’s escape pod was saved from the clutches of death. Her acts of heroism and quick thinking in those frightening hours did not go unnoticed by her superior officers whom encouraged and stretching her to new direction ultimately propelling her toward Command earning her a converted position as First Officer upon the USS Atlantis. From there she grew in confidence, again exceeding just as before in her youth.
