History
Early Life (2373-2393)
Jade Hart was born December 15th, 2373 in Atlanta and was the only child of Harold Hart and Naomi Hart; Harold, a Major for Military Assault Command Operations and Naomi, a biology professor at the local university.
Much of Jade’s childhood had been influenced by her father. Harold Hart was a Major in the MACOs and was an instructor at the base in Atlanta. Her dad set a very strict training regimen for her which made it difficult for her to make friends. She attending martial arts courses as soon as she returned from school and then had strategic and operations training with her father as soon as returned home. From a young age, it was expected that Jade would follow in her father’s footsteps and join the military. Jade never intended to join the military and only went along with her father’s whims because her mother asked her to. Her father could be difficult and she didn’t want to make life harder on her mother.

After four years, Jade applied for and passed the test for entry in the Starfleet Legal Academy.

She discovered that the courses were not going to be easy for her and it was going to take hard work to finish but she would not allow herself to fail. She would work as hard as was required to ensure she passed and earned her degree. She was your typical average grade student, achieving the grades necessary to pass, but not superseding her classmates. The accelerated Starfleet classes didn’t help. They left her very little time for a social life. She spent many afternoons deep in books, studying to ensure she was prepared for class the next day.
