Personal History
Born in L'uvan City, Thara, Andoria. She was named for her shreva with a compromise that they change her names spelling to make it her own. Vylaa is the middle of fraternal triplets, thanks to a then new fertility drug called Gemintriol which increases egg release during the shen’s cycle. Unfortunately, Gemintriol did not prove to be the savior to the Andorian population crisis it was hoped to be, as further data collected showed that approximately 60% of all shens are allergic to the drug. It is still used wherever possible.
Vylaa enjoyed school growing up, and was always near the top of her class, and was especially happy whenever she was assigned projects, such as the yearly science projects. In fact, she proved very apt at making things work, and was often tinkering with one thing or another. By the time she reached her 7th year in school, most of her childhood toys had been disassembled and reassembled to see how they worked (and some of her sisters' toys too).
Secondary school was fairly uneventful for Vylaa. Given the fact that both her fathers had been in Starfleet, and one of her mothers was a physicist, it was no surprise that she took classes in the Academy Prep program. Most of her extracurricular activities were in academic clubs like robotics and the math league, where she forged most of her friendships. This helped her keep her nose clean, making her a prime candidate for the Academy.
In her final year of secondary school she applied and was accepted to Starfleet Academy, and started her freshman year the following year in 2384.
Professional History
Degrees:
- Undergraduate: BS in Propulsion Engineering (Starfleet Academy)
- Minor: Nanotechnology
- Masters: MS in Subspace Physics (Starfleet Academy distance program)
- PhD: Doctorate in Graviton Field Physics (obtained during leave via a companion program between Starfleet Academy and the Laiken Military Academy of Andoria)
After graduation, Ensign zh’Tisav was assigned as a flight deck technician aboard the USS Richard H Best, the flagship of 11th Fleet’s Taskforce 5, a carrier group. She worked hard, both on the flight deck and on continuing her education and quickly rose through the ranks and achieved a masters degree in subspace physics.
She was eventually named Chief of Carrier Operations when the old chief was promoted to First Officer, putting her in charge of launching, landing, and the general upkeep of the ships fighter wing.
In 2394, Vylaa requested leave to start a family.
In early 2399 requested a return to active duty. Her request was granted and she booked passage to Starbase 118 where she would undertake refresher training.
