History
Luna was born on Durruti, in the Asessor Bio-dome, to the agricultural scientist Raymond Sanderson, and the engineer Savinkova Sanderson, as the youngest of three children.
According to her family and neighbours who knew her, Luna always possessed a deep fascination with space and the wider universe, in particular always curious about things outside of the Verpletter Galaxy. Within her academic grades, she was shown to be a Kinesthetic learner, and struggled with theoretical concepts, and as such, was placed into special education designed to accommodate Kinesthetic learners. Here, she performed better than at traditional schools, though would often still be admonished for being distracted.
When old enough to use the Quick-Shift Transit System, Luna has mentioned that she would spend much of her free time in space, on various space stations and worlds throughout the Ki system, and the MacCaw Transit Network system at large, visiting major worlds such as Isondara, Tarasovich, Zikhonjwa, Krähenbühl, Hurimaavehi and Prempree. She has also mentioned that she would watch various ships come and go from the borders of the MacCaw Transit Network on Ult Rezkou.

Attoyis was studying from the Sonoran Union. Luna would claim that this relationship taught her the importance of inter-factionalism between the various members of libertarian allies.
Engels Academy
Luna would attend Engels Academy at the age of 18, where she would commit herself to various fields of study, including linguistics, engineering, and systems operations. She would describe an incident where a Zrelgerian who had defected from the Zrelgerian Kraterocracy whom was being harassed. While the Zrelgerian in question did not appear to be particularly phased, Luna would attempt to prevent the harassment regardless, although this resulted in the harassers targeting her, and the Zrelgerian themselves telling her that such an act was a dishonour towards them. Regardless, Luna stood by her actions.
During her time at the Academy, she would become well known for her contributions to the local Zero-G Ball team, and other sports based activities, in which she seemed to possess an affinity for, especially for games played in zero-gravity. during these games she would meet the Frugis Qinsya Vilagrassa, and would become heated rivals with her throughout their various competitions with one another. She would also go on to become close friends with Gopi Yashmit, Serkadis Abebe Einku, and Laǔren Šerech. She would also develop something of a sportsmanship rivalry with Jerrick Tschkenow.
She would also have several relationships throughout her time at the academy, with people of various genders and species. Many of these would be purely sexual relationships, though she would claim that there were several that were genuine efforts that simply failed to work.
Academically, she would struggle, though she was able to force herself to study through, what was according to her, a regime of 'bashing [her] head against a wall until [she] learned something.' Whatever the case may be, she was able to achieve fairly decent grades throughout her second and third years, after struggling throughout her first.
Graduation and Early Service
At the age of 21, she would graduate with an honourable distinction, and be assigned to various star-ships throughout the year. She would be assigned to the CFS Troy, on which she would serve alongside Jerrick Tschkenow. The two would serve with distinction on various science based missions, including a mission to the Qursal system, where a species would be discovered living within the star itself. She would also be notable for her efforts and contributions towards the construction of a shipyard around the star, displaying a degree of technical proficiency that was well above the standard for someone of her rank.
