/Summary:
"Shepard was born and raised on Mindoir, a small border colony in the Attican Traverse. When Shepard were sixteen, Batarian slavers raided Mindoir, slaughtering her family and friends. Shepard was saved by a passing Alliance patrol, and enlisted with the military a few years later.
During the Skyllian Blitz (2176?), Shepard showed exceptional bravery. When Batarians attacked Elysium, Shepard and Alliance forces took some time to arrive. Shepard's captain noted that upon identifying the enemy, Shepard was greatly insistent that they immediately breach and board one of the Batarian carriers. Upon inquiry, Shepard explained she was familiar with this enemy and that the shuttles moving away and towards the carrier were transporting humans from Elysium for use in the Batarian slave trade. Shepard exclaimed that if they did not extract the humans from the Batarian cargo hold, they would be brutally tortured as part of their grooming to become slaves. Normally, Alliance Command would not authorize such a risky operation, but the Alliance had been working on prototype breaching vessels coined "ringworms" and had been itching to test them. Shepard was also being considered for Alliance N7 program, so the Alliance decided this operation was the best opportunity to test both the prototype and Shepard. Shepard and 5 N7 troops were ordered to board 3 prototypes and launched towards the Batarian carrier with 3 Alliance fighters as escorts. The "ringworms" were named as such due to their long, cylindrical shape and ribbed texture. Four long teeth extended from entrance hatch of the vessel. The teeth grouped together to form a spearhead shape to allow for the penetration of the thick metal. Shepard and her team successfully breached the carrier's cargo hold and the worm's teeth fanned out upon entering the vessels, allowing the soldiers to pour out of the worm through a hatch behind the teeth. The worm generated a small force field around the punctured hull to prevent air from escaping while Shepard and the N7 soldiers quickly formed a perimeter. Battling through a minor contingent of Batarian resistance, Shepard and the team worked their way towards a line of jail cells that housed a two dozen humans as well as a handful of alien races. Each worm could house about 10 bodies, so Shepard and the team didn't hesitate to free all of the prisoners and escort them towards their escape. Upon extraction, one of the worm's reverse thrusters malfunctioned, causing it to explode almost immediately. The other two worms made their daring escape back to the Alliance fleet, successfully boarding with friendlies. Shepard's actions saved 18 humans, 3 salarians, and a drell from a life of servitude under Batarians. Shepard was awarded the Silver Star for her courageous actions and after proving herself as a worthy candidate to become an N7, Shepard was also nominated and accepted into the program.
Shepard was a key player in the Aralakh Zero War of year????. Following the First Contact War (year????), humanity sought to expand its influence in the galaxy by claiming planets of key strategic value. The Alliance thus chose to offer a finder's fee to any independent prospectors who were able to find valuable mineral deposits on far off worlds. Some brave prospectors traveled to the Aralakh system, which was technically under the jurisdiction of the Turian government following the events of the Krogan Rebellions. Prospectors in this system were extremely lucky enough to discover a large deposit of element zero on when exploring the moons of the gas giant Ruam. The moon they discovered, later named Plutus after the Greek god of abundance and wealth, was learned to have an extraordinarily large reserve of element zero, with 30% of the outer mantle of the moon being composed of the material. Alliance forces quickly moved in to secure the eezo, establishing a grounded mining platform and orbiting forward operating base to protect the asset. However, this elicited great disdain from the alien interests, especially the Turians as they saw this invasion into their supposed protected territory as an offense against their government. Because of this, along with the suspicion that the Turians sought to secure the eezo reserve for themselves, the Alliance faced great pressure from the Turians to halt all mining operations. However, human politicians were able to cleverly manipulate loopholes in galactic law to prevent the Turians from removing humans from Plutus by force. This tactic was only temporary, as Turians eventually mounted their navy to demand humans remove themselves from Plutus within 8 galactic standard hours. Not more than 5 minutes into this time period, an Alliance cruiser haphazardly lost control of its system and a chain reaction commenced causing the entire ship to explode. It was suspected that the ship malfunction either due to a stray asteroid or cosmic ray interference. However, Alliance forces already on edge suspected Turian attack and immediately retaliated, starting the first volleys of the Aralakh Zero War. The battle quickly escalated into a one sided exchange, with the superior Turian navy achieving dominance. After surrounding the Alliance orbiting FOB with their navy, Turian forces then deployed around two dozen trooper shuttles to capture the mining platform on the moon. Shepard and her N7 unit were tasked with defending the platform at the time. Without anti-air artillery, the Alliance ground forces had to be extremely clever in their defense. Using her experience as a N7 operative, Shepard formulated a daring plan that demonstrated her battle intellect. Half of the Alliance marines stationed at the platform would feign a retreat deeper into the facility, luring Turrian ground forces. Shepard, N7 operatives, and the other half of the Alliance marines then hid in the hangar until the last two Turian shuttles prepared to land on the platform. Shepard then detonated a short range, EMP bomb to disable the Turian shuttles from taking off after landing. The hangars doors then opened, promptly allowing Alliance forces to eliminate Turian forces near the shuttle. Shepard and her team then seized the Turian shuttles and loaded them with four, high density eezo deposits before departing onboard the shuttles, aimed at boarding the Turian Navy's lead dreadnought, the Element Zero Vessel(EZV) Oma Ker. Using intercepted Turian military codes to fake their identity, Shepard reported to the control tower of the Oma Ker that they required immediate medical evacuation for Turian forces who were injured by surprisingly vicious human resistance. Oma Ker was fooled and approved the Turian shuttles to board. Shepard's forces then fought mercifully through waves of Turian soldiers while escorting the eezo deposits deeper into the Oma Ker. Upon, reaching the vessels drive core, N7 engineers then attached plasma charges to the deposits for detonation upon the teams escape. Shepard realized that without someone to defend the charges, they would not have nearly enough time to escape before the Turina forces could disarm the charges."/

Working their way back to the hangar, Shepard and the N7 team reboarded the Turian shuttles and made their escape before detonating the plasma charges.

Casualties of similar magnitude continued on each side before the Turians decided that retreat after extracting their ground forces from the mining platform. Although Shepard has been severely criticized for her abandoning of Alliance marine allies on the Oma Ker as well as being blamed for the complete eradication of Alliance marines left behind on the mining platform, it is undeniable that her actions likely prevented Alliance forces from being completely annihilated by the Turians. Shepard was commended for her bravery and awarded the Star of Terra the Alliance's highest honor.
Shepard's life on the colonies unsurprisingly made her exceedingly xenophobic. Human colonists often face much resistant and political harassment from the most influential council races that fear human expansion in the galaxy. As a consequence, it is advised that Shepard not be chosen for joint training or operations that involve other sentient species, has attempting this has proven disastrous in the past. Shepard's willingness to risk her life for her comrades and fellow humans as she did during the Skyllian Blitz is notable, making her a clear ally of humanity. However, it would seem her training in the N7 program as made her exceptionally ruthless when it comes to conducting sensitive operations. This along with Shepard's clear ideological alignment with the advancement of humanity makes her a pivotal asset in the future of Alliance interests. "/
