* '''{{n|Roshanara|Rahman}}''': A [[Kriosian]] engineer.

:Despite their opposing personalities—Ivanova being a bit louder and crasser compared to Rahman's more reserved nature—the two women found they complemented each other well, and they became close friends. Ivanova tries to encourage Rahman to "let it all hang loose" sometimes, and she claims Rahman has dropped a few colorful metaphors that made even the security officer herself blush. Of course, no one else believes her.

* '''{{n|Charles|Sampi}}''': A human medical officer.

::'''Ivanova:''' ''"...''Mercury''. You, too? ...please tell me you're not the ship's new first officer."''

:Msafiri holds a strong sense of duty and an uncompromising resolve tempered by the brutality of war. Needless to say, Lidia was a bit frustrated when Msafiri just had to let that sense of duty ruin what had been a rather promising evening.

==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 {{n|Charles|Sampi}}, one of the ship's new medical officers, and {{n|Roshanara|Rahman}}.

==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. She started to get to know her new colleagues, especially the ever pensive {{n|Eyas|Wulfantine}}.

During the ''Tiger'''s first mission, the ship responded to a crisis involving a rogue Romulan fleet and strange slug-like space lifeforms threatening the [[Eratis]] system and [[Deep Space 17]]. A security team that included nearly all of the top ranking security officers ([[Shryker, Jade Elizabeth|Jade Shryker]], Wulfantine, {{n|Leo|Beaufytor}}, and Ivanova) had responded to an intruder aboard the Tiger and was subsequently captured by the Romulans, tortured, and forced to participate in a cruel gladiatorial display.

As the team faced what seemed to be imminent death, Wulfantine willingly let himself undergo a full transformation by the mutagenic parasite into a monstrous creature to save his fellow security officers. He succeeded but was nearly killed and then trapped in his new form. To add insult to his very real injuries, the whole mission was revealed to be nothing more than an elaborate holodeck training exercise. After extensive medical treatment, Wulfantine was forced to take a medical leave of absence. During their exchange of farewells, Ivanova told Wulfantine she felt the department would not be the same without him.

===Stardate: 1942===

After the ''Tiger'' emerged from the Triangle, Sampi and Beaufytor departed the ship, and Ivanova's new chief, [[Zhou Tai-Sheng]], arrived soon after on SD 238906.04. After some downtime for the crew to relax, the ''Tiger'' suddenly found itself in Earth's past, around the time of the Second World War. While away teams were sent to the surface to retrieve/destroy an alien ship that had brought them back to 1942, Ivanova and Zhou remained aboard and dealt with a stowaway, Colette Adrura, who turned out to be the sister of {{n|Jill|Adrura}}, one of Ivanova's fellow security officers.

After leaving the ''Tiger'', Ivanova was briefly assigned to the USS ''Montreal''. She was reunited with her old colleague Wulfantine, who was now serving aboard the {{USS|Mercury}}, when both his ship and the ''Montreal'' were docked at [[StarBase 118]] in late 2389.

Ivanova herself was reassigned to the ''Mercury'' in 2390 and given a provisional [[StarFleet Marine Corps]] commission and rank of Marine Captain. By order of security chief Major {{n|Jacen|Fanel}}, all ''Mercury'' security personnel were made provisional marines after he was designated head of the department following Wulfantine's leave of absence. However, on SD 239006.18, the Starfleet Marines contingent were recalled from service aboard the ''Mercury'', and Ivanova was subsequently recommissioned as a [[Starfleet Security]] officer—much to her delight.
