Biography
Little is known about the early life of Nina, but for many she was known as a bounty hunter with excellent skills and unusual abilities, that made her special among the people of her profession. Though being the one that had a strong connection with the Force, she was neiher a Jedi nor a Sith, the one who didn't bother much about philosophical questions. The one that wanted to find her place in the Galaxy.

She knew, that she once had a sister - Tavion, that was strong in the Force too, that followed a different path, that somehow brought her to death. Some time later, when Nina was 19 years old, the girl decided to learn the truth about her sister's destiny.

This mission meant, that the bounty hunter had to travel to Korriban, the place where the Cult of Ragnos perished in their attempt to revive the ancient Sith Lord. Nina entered the tombs only to learn, that the Remnant forces established a secret outpost there. The Imperials would attack the girl, but she still managed to make her way through the ruins and catacombs of the Sith World only to meet an unknown Reborn warrior that knew the truth about Tavion. He didn't say much however, but Nina learnt that there were others that could reveal the story to her. One of these people was hidden somewhere on one of the Imperial worlds.

Several hours later after the neutralisation of the Imperial base Nina would meet Jan Ors that was held captured in the Imperial prison. She explained that if there is one who could tell the truth about Tavion, then that would be Kyle Katarn.

Together Ors and Delenda left this world for Tatooine where they were planning to find Katarn. Nevertheless several criminal gangs tried to stop them along with several reborn force users. In the end Nina and Kyle would fight against the local criminal boss as well as a modified shadowtrooper in the hangar where the Raven's Claw was docked.

Only after these adventures Nina learnt the true motives of her sister, of the Jedi and the Empire Reborn. Luke Skywalker backed up Kyle's offer, that Nina Delenda could join the Jedi Order one day, but she thought that perhaps she should be what she had always been.

Though Delenda decided to remain neutral, she carried out at least one more mission for the Jedi Order. This time she had to examine an ancient tomb together with Kyle Katarn. While the Jedi Knight was looking around the tomb, Nina went to one of the halls with a sarcophagus in the middle.

She was terrified to learn, that for some reasons the cover was opened, and soon she saw the one who was behind this. Undoubtfully there were an ancient spirits of forgotten Jedi, that were guarding the tombs. Several Jedi mummies attacked her, using fists and lightsabers as well as some force powers. As she tried to contact Kyle, Nina understood that he might have been attacked by one of these creatures as well.

Nina had to move quickly through various decorated halls of this underground city, solving tricky puzzles and avoiding ancient traps. In the end she had to pass through especially difficult tests, that were supposed to be the trials for a genuine Jedi.

After all the ordeals Nina met Kyle and one of the Jedi Mummies, that explained such an agression towards the strangers as one of ways to protect the Jedi Holocron stored in the Temple nearby.

Several months after these events Nina Delenda joined a special assault force reporting only to the Chancellor that went by the name of Nova Unit. This highly trained team was assembled in the first days of the New Republic existence to assist temporarily the outnumbered Jedi knights.
