Danielle Vistain

Vyas: "Come on, Danielle, let's go!"

Vistain: "All right, already! Sheesh, Bhavin...it's not like you had a shuttle land on you or something..."

Vyas: "Oh, you are never going to let that go, are you?"

–Banter between Vistain and Ensign Bhavin Vyas, SD 238802.26

Danielle Vistain is a junior engineering officer aboard the USS Tiger-A.

Backstory

Vistain is often posted in the shuttlebay. Among her friends is Durrell Taylor, a fellow junior engineering officer who is also assigned routinely to shuttle maintenance.

Both Vistain and Taylor were in the shuttlebay when Tenzin Zhou first came aboard the USS Independence-A in 2387. Later that year, Taylor revealed that his late friend Tyler Morris had harbored a crush on Vistain.

In December 2387, Vistain was caught pinned against a shuttle before the bay itself was about to decompress. Fortunately, the engineer managed to free herself and then make her way into the shuttle for safety. After the incident, doctors recommended that she not work in the shuttlebay, at least initially, but by May 2388, she had returned to duty in her original post and had even gained some affection for shuttlecraft number 3, Kitty Hawk, the same shuttle that had nearly killed her and then served as her protection.

Following the destruction of the USS Independence-A in November 2388, Vistain was subsequently reassigned to the USS Tiger-A. Her latest project was retrofitting the ship's Type 11 shuttles.
