Summary

Vail is the Chief Tactical Officer aboard the USS San Jose, and a veteran of the Dominion War, trying to slow down before retirement.

Appearance

Vail has green eyes, and long brown hair that is kept in a bun while on duty. She is almost always seen in her standard issue Starfleet Uniform. Her skin is fair, and she has a stronger, more stocky build due to her years of martial arts training.

Personality

Vail is fiercely loyal to her captain and her fellow crewmates. She is meticulous in her duties and a stout follower of Starfleet regulations, although she does tend to have a foul mouth. She loves holodeck games and is quite the green thumb, her quarters having quite a few potted plants she nurtures.

History

Early Life: 2371-2389

Vail struggled through school, but found solace in martial arts, studying Karate as an extracurricular. She wasn’t an only child, but she was already 9 when her brother was born. Growing up on a farm outside Seattle, she spent most of her time at home playing in the woods by herself, and sneaking onto the roof of her house to gaze at stars.

Starfleet Academy: 2389-2393

On her 18th birthday, she applied to Starfleet Academy, longing to get away from her rural upbringing. Making friends became easier at the academy, and she soon developed a small circle of close friends. This wouldn’t last, however, as they all slowly lost touch after graduation. During her cadet career, she excelled in hand to hand and powered weapon combat, winning multiple competitions.

USS Aliyah: 2393-2400

Vail was assigned to the Aliyah as a Security Officer upon graduation. She rose through the ranks by proving to be a strong, capable, and reliable officer in the face of danger during the Dominion War, often putting herself in harm’s way to save fellow teammates. She has many scars, both internal and external from her part in the war,
