Early Life
Tasha Yar was born in 2337 on the failed colony planet Turkana IV. Growing up as an orphan in a lawless wasteland, she struggled to raise her younger sister. At the age of fifteen, she managed to leave the planet and joined Starfleet[1].
Starfleet Career
Yar graduated Starfleet Academy and become a security officer, inspired by her childhood experiences. At some point before 2363, she was involved in a rescue mission where her actions were noticed by captain Picard. He arranged for her to be transferred to his command, eventually bringing her along when he took command of the Enterprise-D.
Her career aboard the Enterprise, however, was brief.
Death
Yar was killed during the recovery of a crashed shuttle. When the rescue party was blocked from reaching the crash' survivors by the being know as Armus, Yar attempted to bypass the creature; he then attacked and killed her as a display of his power[2].
Tasha Yar (2344)
Yar reappeared twenty years earlier at the Battle of Nardendra III, serving as tactical officer aboard the Enterprise-C. This vessel had been temporarily brought to an alternate future where Yar had not been killed by Armus and continued to serve as the Eenterprise-D's head of security. Upon learning that her death was inevitable in either universe - through Armus or through the disastrous Klingon War - she chose to join the surviving crew of the Enterprise in their certain defeat[3].
