Born on [[Regulus]] in the [[Free Worlds League]], Farah was the daughter of academics and spent most of her early years jumping between their suburban apartment and the ''[[Ferdowsi]]'', her Baba Joon's live-in DropShip. [[Baba Joon]] was Farah's grandfather, who made a tidy profit running pilgrims to and from [[Dar-es-Salaam]], the center of the Islamic faith in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. Old-fashioned and beloved by Farah, he left an indelible mark on her life. She has plenty of fond memories from that time: The warmth behind Baba Joon's smile. The excitement of leaving Regulus behind. Chatting with the pilgrims, and getting lost in the stars, and eating prepackaged fesenjan out of a shiny tin. In a sense, she believes her choice of career is a way of honoring her Baba Joon.

She spent a few years in the Commonwealth before pursuing her studies back in the League. During that time, she married [[Uncle Heiner]], of ''[[Uncle Heiner's Experiment World]]'' (a program that got her into science in the first place). As it turned out, a chain-smoking nihilist teaching IEDs to children was a poor choice for a husband, though she did learn that she had a real talent for machines. She decided to pursue that goal and did her undergrad at the [[University of Atreus]], then continued her education at [[Sian University]] in the [[Capellan Confederation]] - one of the most respected educational establishments in known space. She graduated with two doctorates (physics and mechanical engineering) and pursued a career as a mercenary engineer, something she always wanted (aside a brief fascination with the life of a statistician).

The recovery and restoration of the ''Argo'' was the single biggest project of her career. Managing billions in C-Bills and a staff of two hundred of the most talented employees of [[Lyreton Shipyards]], she proved herself capable of working miracles - after she survived the [[Axylus]] drop and the death of her engineering team, yet managed to get the ''Argo'' airborne.
