Background
Athena was stolen by a gang of pirates who wanted a force user for various nefarious purposes but also because they were getting rarer and therefore valuable thanks to the Empire.
However due to the trauma of being kidnapped and later finding out what the empire had done to her people, Athena's force abilities/nightsister magic was locked inside her, essentially they've developed but there is a barrier between her and being able to use them.
To keep being part of the pirates and the 'family' she then proceeded to become trained in demolition, explosives, mechanics and computers.
During this time she didn't remember she had been stolen - she knew of her family on Dathomir and knew she was with the pirates now but the trauma of being kidnapped led to amnesia and misremembering the events, therfore viewing that she had been rescued by the pirates from someone else who had stolen her away.
After finding out the truth, Athena essentially had a psychotic break unleashed her magic unconsciously killing almost all of the pirates before having another mental block that altered her memories of the events (she knows she killed them but thinking it was explosives not magic).
The other side effect of the mental block was reuilding the barrier between her and her magic/force abilities.
