Julia was born on Freeport 10, in 800 A.S, to a family with a history for smuggling. Her parents risked her life, in a way. They took her on smuggling trips with them, when she turned five years old. Over the years, all she saw, everything she learned was how to smuggle... so her only interest was smuggling. I mean, she was practically, doing it ever since she was a baby. Looking back at her family tree line, most of them were smugglers at some point in their life.
When she turned eighteen years old, she began doing smuggling runs on her own, in a little freighter she bought from a dealer on one of the Freeports. At this point in her life, she was happy with what she was doing. She hasn't been caught, she makes a good amount of credits, and most of all, she was having fun while doing it. As she became older, she became interested in the Outcasts. When she heard about the Crimson Cross, she knew this could be the place where she would fit in. Unfortunately for her, joining them, would mean leaving a lot of things behind, like her parents. A very tough decision was placed in front of her, and she decided that joining Crimson Cross could be for a brighter future. She gave her last goodbyes to her parents, leaving behind her beloved transport, and headed straight to Valetta Shipyard, to get geared up and receive appropriate papers.
All in all, I guess you can say her life is a bit...plain, really. Maybe in the future there would be something, more interesting, to say about her life. As for now, Julia proudly serves under the Crimson Cross, doing what she knows best, smuggling.

Vessel Name: ET Nefarious Class: Shetland Role: Heavy Transport CO: Julia Narvaez
This rusty, old Shetland class Bretonian train was said to have been left over after the civil war. Months ago, a experienced smuggler, Julia Narvaez, found this transport stuck between two large rocks in the Tau 37 system. Being fairly new to the Crimson Cross, she didn't know if it was worth reporting. The ship peeked her interest, due to how large it was. She knew she could haul more cargo in it, than her current ship.
She reported what she had found, and days later, Julia managed to activate the ships engine systems, and get it running. Despite being in a dangerous situation, her mindset was to get the ship, even if it could mean death. She managed to get the ship out of the two large rocks, but unfortunately, the ships engines weren't exactly in a good shape. It was unable to cruise, so she made her long way, on impulse speed, to Valetta Shipyard, where right before arrival, the Shetlands engines bailed out, causing a loud explosion in the main reactor.
Julia took it upon herself to re-create the original engine that was used on it, but failed to do so, due to the foreign technology. She couldn't get her hands on the parts she needed, so she worked with what she had. With the help of some engineers, they created a engine, similar to what the "Pitbull" pirate train has. They took it off a scrapped Pitbull, and modified to give it more power so it can make this heavy machine move. They were successful with their experiment, and she later named it Nefarious, meaning wicked. Julia always had a thing for transports, and this one, in her words, was wicked.
The Nefarious is now used within the Crimson Cross, under her command, smuggling Cardamine to Rogues and Junkers, and bringing back needed supplies to Malta.
