| - Kira Murphy was an field medic of the Imperial Starfleet on the ISS Arcadia and the Assault Team XO before the arrival of Fari Sonali, something that Tarl Lori had resented. Defined as a "wild philly" who could never be tamed, in her slave years, owners tried, but no one managed to break her spirit. She was known as a great liar and actress, and it was hard to tell if it ever succeeded or was just a ruse on her part. Kira was born under the name Kiranakti. Although she didn't know her exact place of birth, her origins could be traced to the planet Gemworld, once home to six different species including the Elaysians. Gemworld's people had access to advanced technology consisting of a protective "shell" run by dark matter collectors; Terrans later discovered Gemworld and learned of the collectors. The inhabitants willingly shared information on the collectors in exchange for being allowed to join the Terran Empire. The Empire gained the knowledge of how to use dark matter, and in return Gemworld was given the right to do what it wanted, which mostly was to be left alone. By the time Kira was born, her entire race had been oppressed. Despite originating from another dimension, her race's genetics hadn't compensated for the universe they found themselves in. While very young, Kira was given a zero-gravity suit to compensate for her genetic shortcomings. At age six, she was adopted by a human family with the surname of Murphy; they shortened her personal name in order for her to fit in. Although her adoptive family wielded little influence, it kept Kira out of the worst that could have been done. Kira stayed with the Murphys until she was fourteen, when she started blossoming. A Cardassian higher-up liked her looks and Kira was dragged away kicking and screaming. She never saw her adopted family again, but kept her name in their memory. Kira was beaten, abused and used mercilessly by the Cardassian, as well as impregnated yet miscarried a few times. As she got older, she was moved around to other owners in the Alliance, some of whom treated her better and some who tortured, raped and beat her savagely. She gained freedom when a group of Elaysian rebels broke into a colony and took a group with them including Kira. She headed to a small out-of-the-way colony and was trained in self-defense. Enjoying violence, she joined the militia and trained in the use of various weapons. Although incredibly vicious, she found her heart's calling as a field medic, working to save the lives of her comrades. Kira rose in rank to 2nd Class Private before winning a commission to Second Lieutenant. Shortly after becoming a marine officer, the Elaysian rebellion joined the Imperial Union of Planets, freely offering their services to help crush the Alliance and bring glory to the new Empire. Kira and the rest of the soldiers were transferred into the Imperial Starfleet as marines in various Assault Teams. Kira's first fleet posting was the ISS Miranda, where she performed well and was promoted. She also got into a lot of trouble. At one point the captain hung her in an agony booth by her nipples for not giving in to his advances. Later she was reassigned to the ISS Pilert. After an incident with the second officer, the captain had her transferred to the Arcadia. She continued her service on board the Arcadia until late 2385, when the ship was destroyed over Romulus.
