Lily spent several years in the Federation's Starfleet, having applied to the Academy as an eighteen-year-old. She received her commission and her post as a counselor four years later and was promoted through the rank of lieutenant commander aboard the exploratory vessel USS ''Victory''. After a brief stint as a temporary command officer aboard the escort vessel ''Triumphant'', Lily accepted a posting as a diplomatic officer aboard Starbase 118, eventually attaining the rank of commander. However, after a difficult situation aboard the colony of Beta Pictoris IV, Lily was forced to resign her commission and negotiate the situation as a noncommissioned diplomat; and though Starfleet offered to reverse her resignation officially, she declined after an offer from the Federation Diplomatic Corps to serve as an ambassador, and later as an ambassador-at-large.
Airseé Lily Ventu obtained advanced degrees in psychiatry and xenopsychology before applying to the Federation Starfleet for officer training. As an officer, she spent a large part of her career (up through the rank of lieutenant commander) as a counselor aboard the exploratory vessel {{USS|Victory}}. After a brief stint as a temporary command officer aboard the escort {{USS|Triumphant}}, Lily accepted a posting as a diplomatic officer aboard [[Starbase 118]], eventually attaining the rank of commander and brief overall command of the starbase's Starfleet operations. However, during a difficult situation on the colony world Beta Pictoris IV, Lily chose to resign her commission and negotiate the situation as a noncommissioned diplomat; and though Starfleet offered to reverse her resignation in the years that followed, she declined after she received an offer from the Federation Diplomatic Corps to serve as an official ambassador. She was later confirmed by the Office of the President as an ambassador and, three years later, as an ambassador-at-large serving Starbase 118 and its surrounding sectors, [[Trinity Sector|Trinity]], [[Serellan Sector|Serellan]], and [[Jenatris Cloud Sector|Jenatris Cloud]].
 
In 2389, Ambassador Ventu left her posting to campaign full time to be Earth's representative on the Federation Council. Her bid was ultimately unsuccessful, but she was further honored after its conclusion with an increase in her status as ambassador-at-large. She serves now as the roving ambassador to three dozen recently warp-capable worlds, as well as ambassador-on-call for the Cardassian Union, Talarian Republic, Breen Confederacy, and Tholian Assembly, should the the diplomatic missions to those major powers need assistance.

====Awards & Accomplishments====
 
As a field diplomat, she has been partially or solely responsible for about forty first contacts on behalf of the Federation, including with some advanced warp-capable species, including the [[Community]], the [[Senmeten]], the Taredge, and the Dennermé. She has been involved in Cardassian reconstruction in the decades following the Dominion War, and she has been allowed onto Breen -- though, if she has ever seen a Breen outside its encounter suit, she has been sworn to secrecy.
 
'''Federation, Peacetime, and Civilian Awards'''

**Decorated in 2391, in a ceremony on Earth celebrating her thirty-fifth individual first contact.

====Family====


Lily met Hayden Reynolds during her time in Starfleet, when he served as a mobile researcher, and while it appeared that their relationship would not survive her high-risk placement on the ''Triumphant'', they connected again aboard Starbase 118 and eventually held a commitment ceremony in 2383, several months before the birth of their son, Rhys.
