Backstory
Lidia Ivanova was born in 2359. She joined Starfleet at the age of 21. While an ensign, Ivanova was stationed on Betazed and met Tenzin Zhou in 2384 during her time there. The two formed a close friendship, with her playful personality being a nice foil to Zhou's tendency to overthink and take things too seriously, especially in the wake of the separation with his wife. Ivanova is one of the few people with whom Zhou—or "Spot" as she likes to call him—feels able to truly relax and show his sillier side, and it was her enthusiasm that partly inspired Zhou to then join Starfleet himself after he completed his post-graduate training. The two kept in touch after Zhou left Betazed.
USS Pioneer
In May 2387, Ivanova was assigned as a security officer to the USS Pioneer under the command of Captain Jodhani. There, she met Charles Sampi, one of the ship's new medical officers. A bit of a spitfire, Ivanova was the object of Sampi's affections early on, but those affections ultimately went nowhere.
Ivanova was promoted to lieutenant junior grade later that year, and by 2388, she was a full lieutenant, assigned as the ship's chief of security. She took up the position after her superior Sven Rebane was severely injured in the line of duty. Rebane was taken to Medical Starbase 253 and has not recovered from his injuries.
USS Tiger-A
In late 2388, Ivanova sought a transfer from the Pioneer and was subsequently reassigned to the USS Tiger-A as a security officer, reuniting her with Sampi.
