Her interest and specialty is shuttle and small craft engineering, and she was assigned to the {{USS|Independence|A}} after graduating from Starfleet Academy in 2386. Among her friends is {{n|Durrell|Taylor}}, a fellow junior engineering officer she met at Jupiter Station and whom Vistain briefly dated. Like Vistain, Taylor is routinely assigned to shuttle maintenance. | Her interest and specialty is shuttle and small craft engineering, and she was assigned to the {{USS|Independence|A}} after graduating from Starfleet Academy in 2386.

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

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. | [[File:IndyType6.png|thumb|Naughty shuttlecraft 03, ''Kitty Hawk'']] | ||

Following the destruction of the ''Independence'' in November 2388, Vistain was subsequently reassigned to the {{USS|Tiger|A}}. Her latest project was retrofitting the ship's Type 11 shuttles. While aboard the ''Tiger'', she attracted the unwanted attention of [[Lathu]], a [[Suliban]] who was still recovering from his breakup with his previous girlfriend Amber Samuels, who bore a resemblance to Vistain. | Following the destruction of the ''Independence'' in November 2388, Vistain was subsequently reassigned to the {{USS|Tiger|A}}.

===USS ''Mercury''=== | |||
On SD 238909.16, Vistain was promoted to lieutenant JG and reassigned to the {{USS|Mercury}}'s engineering department, under {{n|Roshanara|Rahman}}. Still working mostly in the ship's shuttlebay, she was a frequent target of shuttle pilot {{n|Dre'lith|Chaun}}'s advances, but by SD 239008, she began dating Edaghil, a comparative anthropologist assigned to the ''Mercury'''s sciences division. | On SD 238909.16, Vistain was promoted to lieutenant JG and reassigned to the {{USS|Mercury}}'s engineering department, under {{n|Roshanara|Rahman}}.
