Sampi met Ivanova in May 2387 soon after they were both assigned to the Pioneer. A bit of a spitfire, Ivanova was the object of Sampi's affections early on, but those affections ultimately went nowhere.

• Tirzah: A Romulan girl and refugee.

Sampi first met Tirzah in DS17's arboretum, where he was able to convince the girl and her mother Naava to indulge themselves with some ice cream. He later helped Tirzah and Naava book passage on the Independence for their journey to Bilire VI. Unfortunately, the Romulan refugee colony there turned out to be less than ideal, and Tirzah's mother died of a disease that had devastated the colony. Tirzah stayed aboard the Independence under the care of Fleet Captain Sidney Riley until she eventually moved to New Orleans, Earth, with Belleau Dioron. Sampi and Tirzah promised to stay in touch as pen pals.

• Eyas Wulfantine: The chief of security of the Independence and Sampi's long-term patient.

Afflicted with a mysterious disease that causes him to mutate into a hideous creature, Wulfantine has been diagnosed with a grim prognosis. Unless an alternative cure can be found, the young Pythron will either die in a few months from his current treatment or mutate permanently into a giant reptilian creature.

• Jade Shryker: A human security officer.

Captured together along with Captain Riley, Sampi and Shryker survived the mental horror inflicted upon them by the Reapers. Since then, the two have grown closer to one another, with Sampi becoming a bit protective of the spirited young woman.

• Darius Clack: The first officer of the Tiger.

Although others are often intimidated by the mysterious Klingon/human augment, Sampi respects the man's experience and has sought his counsel on issues related to leadership and command, such as when Sampi had a clash with William Wittburn over the chain of command in sickbay.

• Tracey Townson: The chief of operations aboard the Tiger.

Sampi finds the human officer from another universe intriguing, but he doubts anything will develop beyond his fanciful thoughts, whether because of professional boundaries or because he wouldn't know where to begin.

Early Life

A native of Earth's Australian continent, Charles Sampi spent much of his childhood in the Brisbane area before later attending the University of Sydney to study biology. His first major move away from Australia was when he began his medical studies at the Starfleet Medical Academy in 2382. Upon graduating with his medical degree in 2386, he spent a year at Starfleet Medical in San Francisco for his post-graduate training.

USS Pioneer

After his year at Starfleet Medical, Sampi was promoted to lieutenant junior grade and assigned in May 2387 to the USS Pioneer under the command of Captain Jodhani. There, he worked under the guidance of chief medical officer Dr. T'Jeros and met Lieutenant JG Lidia Ivanova.

USS Independence-A

In 2388, Sampi was promoted to lieutenant and assigned to the USS Independence-A as assistant chief medical officer. He traveled from the Pioneer to Deep Space 17 in preparation for his new posting. Soon after, Tenzin Zhou, the chief medical officer of the Independence, transferred to the Starfleet division on Betazed, and Sampi was subsequently called upon to take Zhou's place.

Bilire VI

On his first mission aboard the Independence, Sampi was captured, along with Fleet Captain Riley and Lieutenant JG Shryker by the Reapers while the ship was visiting Bilire VI on a relief mission to aid a recently settled Romulan refugee colony. Fortunately, he and the other two officers were rescued by the Independence, although efforts to strengthen the relationship between the Romulan refugees and the Federation were mixed after mistrust between the Starfleet crew and the colonists ultimately erupted into a riot at the settlement's hospital in the midst of a plague outbreak. As the Independence returned to DS17, the young CMO faced his first departmental challenge when William Wittburn, one of the staff physicians, expressed a similar feeling of mistrust after Sampi wished to review a disciplinary incident further.

Scarlet Brotherhood

While the Independence was docked at DS17, Sampi and the rest of the senior staff participated in a beach volleyball game that served as a team building exercise. Starfleet then ordered the Independence to track down thieves who stole an artifact from the Bajoran Central Archives. As the ship headed for the Aurona Sector, agents of the Scarlet Brotherhood sabotaged the ship's warp engines, attempted to assassinate Captain Sidney Riley, and briefly captured main sickbay. Eventually, it was discovered that these particular Brotherhood agents were actually from the Mirror Universe. Meanwhile, Sampi was tasked with informing the Independence's chief of security Eyas Wulfantine that the Pythron's underlying medical condition had deteriorated into a terminal illness.

After the Independence was transported to the Mirror Universe, it was soon attacked and boarded by the crew of a mirror USS Tiger while Captain Sidney Riley, the first officer, and several key senior staff members were on an away mission to retrieve a stolen shuttle. After Lt. Commander Tracey Townson fell ill, Sampi was left in charge of the Independence. Along with the assistance of Chief Engineer Lluneh Walker and several other remaining bridge officers, Sampi was able to neutralize the intruders and force the attacking ship to surrender.

Soon, the captain and the away teams were back aboard, but the Independence fell under attack again, this time by the mirror Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. Captain Riley ultimately chose to activate the self-destruct sequence of the crippled Independence rather than let it fall into enemy hands. The crew were evacuated to the mirror USS Tiger and then were transported back to the prime universe thanks to the ingenuity of the engineering and science teams. Arriving back on DS17, Sampi and Doctor Velana worked diligently to ensure the survival of Lt.JG Alleran Tan, who had been gravely injured during the boarding raid of the Independence.

USS Tiger-A

Unsure of which posting they were headed to next, Sampi and the rest of the crew were soon surprised by the arrival of a new Prometheus-class ship to take the place of the Independence: the USS Tiger-A.

A Hollow Exercise

The crew's first task aboard the Tiger was to partake in a team building exercise involving a holodeck simulation of Camelot. Shortly into the program, however, it was discovered something was wrong with the holodeck safeties, and an outside emergency involving strange space slugs that threatened Eratis and DS17 put a hold to the exercise. Further complicating the matter was the arrival of a fleet of Romulan vessels. During the encounter, Sampi's long-term patient Lt. Wulfantine transformed once again into his mutant form, but suddenly it was revealed that the entire situation with the slugs and Romulans had been part of the original team building exercise on the holodeck. Unfortunately, Wulfantine's transformation and the injuries sustained by several other security staff had not been an illusion.

New Sheriff in Town

Sampi returned to sickbay in preparation for finding a new treatment for Wulfantine using Lt. Cmdr. Danny Wilde's own experience with Borg nanoprobes. However, upon setting foot back into the CMO's office, Sampi met the ship's latest arrival Dr. Grishols Mol, a senior physician and observer from Starfleet Medical. Mol had been sent to evaluate Sampi's fitness to be chief medical officer of the Tiger over the coming mission.

The Tiger medical staff worked with newly-assigned science officer Ensign T'Mynn as well as their DS17 medical colleagues and successfully reversed Wulfantine's condition. In recognition of Sampi's efforts, he was awarded the Lifesaving Ribbon by Fleet Captain Riley.
