While her early life is mostly unknown, Trelaina grew up during a war. Several species in Telezart's local sector of space had been vying to control the sector and Telezart was dragged into the war. Telezart was attacked and invaded, with the attackers firing directly on civilian populations. During a particularly terrible bombing raid Trelaina couldn't take the stress and horror of the war anymore and accidentally released a massive wave of psychic energy, killing everything on Telezart and reducing its cities to ruins.
