|-

| colspan="4" style="background:#FFFFFF" | After only having started his Starfleet career for a few weeks, Wil evacuates the [[USS Veritas|Veritas]] with the rest of the crew to become stranded on [[Limbo]], a tropical moon.  He assists his chief engineer [[Geoffrey Teller]] in building a hot tub, meets his fellow Human/Betazoid hybrid [[Raissa Moonsong]] and her daughter [[Natalia Moonsong|Natalia]] for the first time, a forms a friendship with [[G'var]] on "Purplewhitehaven" beach.  After it appears the crew were stranded on Limbo forever in a time displacement field, Wil helps Geoffrey create an escape plan, before joining [[G'var]] on an expedition to the far side of the continent to find more survivors.

|-

| colspan="4" | Wil witnesses [[G'var]] losing her arm to a fierce native predator of [[Limbo]] known as a "Mantilion", before they discover a second camp of survivors, led by [[Felicia Nickson|Captain Nickson]].  Whilst at the camp, he begins a romantic relationship with G'var, before the survivors from "Camp Nickson" decide to evacuate and head for [[Roshanara Rahman|Captain Rahman]]'s group of survivors.  On the way back to the main camp, Wil witnesses another attack from a Mantilion, this time on Nickson.

| style="background:#E6E6E6; width:400px;text-align:center;" |While Veritas is repaired, the crew returns home, some to families and loved ones while others fight to be reunited with theirs.

|-

| colspan="4" | Safely back on board the damaged [[USS Veritas|Veritas]], Wil stays with his [[Geoffrey Teller|Chief engineer]] as the ship makes it way to a docking berth in [[Esperance]] - which results in a drunken night in Adelaide to blow off steam.  Geoffrey and Wil decide to "borrow" [[G'var]]'s prosthetic arm while she is sleeping, to enhance it - only to enrage the Klingon.  Wil joins some of his fellow crew for New Year's celebrations at the Star Station Esperance, before he returns home to his native Australia on [[Earth]] to see his family and introduce them to his new girlfriend.  During his time on Earth, he has dinner with [[Jansen Orrey]], [[Raissa Moonsong]] and her daughter [[Natalia Moonsong|Natalia]] on Jansen's plantation in Louisiana.  He also learns from [[Sky Blake]] that his [[Astrad Ukinix|grandfather]] is a former [[Ninth House of Betazed|Betazoid Noble]].  Out of boredom, Wil cuts his shoreleave short and returns to the Veritas at [[Utopia_Planitia_Fleet_Yards|Utopia Planitia]] to help Geoffrey with the new [[Warp XV engine]]<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/FdcveTpzYcw/QWezVQQtAgAJ "A pich of technobabble"], Lieutenant Wil Ukinix, [[USS Veritas]]</ref>.  However, he is momentarily recalled to Earth to discuss the events of [[Limbo]] with Fleet Captain [[Cassandra Egan Manno]].

| style="background:#E6E6E6; width:400px;text-align:center;" |With tensions still high after the destruction of [[Astrofori One]], Veritas is sent back to the [[Menthar Corridor]] to investigate the sudden disappearance of a Tholian fleet.

|-

| colspan="4" | With the ship under attack, Wil is dispatched to the computer core, only to find a probe (which Wil affectionately names "Prongy") lodged in the ship, attempting to interface with the computer and take control of the ship's systems.  When he tries to stop it, the probe hits Wil's shoulder with a bolt of energy.  After assisting [[G'var]], [[Jayla Petras]] and [[Raissa Moonsong]] to neutralise the probe's threat, he joins Lieutenant [[Dallas Zea]] in a shuttle to scan the debris of the [[USS Solaris]] that was seemingly destroyed by Tholians.  With an away team including Wil's chief [[Geoffrey Teller]] dispatched to investigate ancient ruins on a planet, Wil is briefly left in charge of engineering before he joins an away team on a re-assembled [[USS Solaris|Solaris]] in an attempt to regain control of it.

| style="background:#E6E6E6; width:400px;text-align:center;" |The Veritas crew investigates a mysterious stasis box, while Ghant Xerix and Wil Ukinix head to Betazed and soon find themselves caught up in the drama of the Noble Houses. Meanwhile, with the captain's life at stake, Geoffrey Teller is forced to continue the saga of Silas Finley.

|-

| colspan="4" | After helping [[Geoffrey Teller|Geoffrey]] modify [[Jansen Orrey]]'s Romulan distruptor, and witnessing Geoff as the test dummy for the weapon, Wil joins Geoff and Jansen in Captain [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]]'s ready room for disciplinary action.  His punishment is sidearm re-certification, which Wil doesn't enjoy given his dislike of hand weapons.  Soon after [[Ghant Xerix]] first joins the [[USS Veritas|Veritas]], Wil accompanies him to [[Betazed]], and whilst there meets his extended family [[Keehani Ukinix|Keehani]] and [[Vaxa Ral]] for the first time.  He attends a Liberation Day party hosted by the [[Rivi Vataix]] of the [[Eleventh House of Betazed]] - and teaches her and Ghant an ancient Terran dance.  On his return trip back to the Veritas, he suddenly has to step up as a commanding officer when the [[Guardians of Betazed]] attempt a terrorist attack on the ship carrying he and his crewmates.

|-

| colspan="4" | Wil is assigned to his first official away team comprising of [[Roshanara Rahman|Captain Rahman]] and [[Kelrod|Commander Kelrod]] to interview Raoul Livernois, owner of the Livernois Shipyards.  After the interview, the trio make their way to "Welder's Diner" which boasts the best burgers in [[Shoals|the Shoals]].  Whilst at the diner Wil, Roshanara and Kelrod have a run in with some xenophobic locals, and are arrested by the [[Colonial Coalition Marshals Service]] (CCMS)<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/gY5LhiU93E0/m0nUc0VIAAAJ "Better Get a Lawyer"], Lieutenant Wil Ukinix, [[USS Veritas]]</ref> - requiring the trio to be bailed out by [[Sky Blake]].  Wil then joins [[Addison MacKenzie]], [[Kelrod]] and [[Raissa Moonsong]] on the surface to assist and monitor a CCMS raid on "Romulan Town", a part of Centennial City that is populated by Romulan Refugees.  Wil calls in the assistance of the [[USS Veritas]] to put out a building fire.  When a relief effort is coordinated to help the Romulan refugees who now have no home, tensions rise when some Romulans take the CCMS Chief Marshall hostage, and Wil is forced to draw a phaser.

|-

| colspan="4" | After helping [[Geoffrey Teller]] to help rebuild parts of Romulan Town, Wil decides to organise a pub crawl of some of the seedier establishments of [[Ketar V]].  During the pub crawl, he reenacts his arrest at Welder's Diner, bumps into two middle-aged British ladies he had previously met on a space station, performs a duet with [[G'var]] at a karaoke bar, nearly gets into a fight at the "Explosive Decompression" bar, and gets completely drunk at a suave jazz bar.  Upon his return, [[Roshanara Rahman|Captain Rahman]] gets to see first hand just how "tired and emotional" he is <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/s3PbBzFERzE/XpSLnOTFAgAJ "Kebab"], Lieutenant Wil Ukinix, [[USS Veritas]]</ref>.  He also sits a bridge re-certification test with Captain Rahman (and fails), helps to create the new "Stargazer Lounge" with Geoffrey and [[Charlena Vanlith]], and is informed by his friend and engineering chief [[Geoffrey Teller]] that he is to be acting chief engineer while Geoffrey is away testing the [[USS Diligent]]<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/-dY0BU4WDNc/LbouBvs-AwAJ "From one day to the next"].

|-

| colspan="4" | As Acting Chief Engineer, Wil leads the engineering team to make modifications to the [[USS Veritas]] so that it complies a regional ship race's stringent rules.  A group of school children visit the ship on an excursion, and Wil describes to them in basic terms how a warp engine works.  Once the race starts, another ship cuts the Veritas off and uses some questionable race tactics, so Wil lodges a protest with the race organisers in the most [https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ surprising of ways]<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/m_aMYG55lEk/ELi_g7Q8CgAJ "Kick Start my Heart"], Lieutenant Wil Ukinix, [[USS Veritas]]</ref>.  The race is cut short when the ship falls into a void at "Scylla Pass", leaving it without any power, and Wil has to get the ship back up and running while it is attacked by creatures names "Vipers".  He experiences telepathic communication with [[Raissa Moonsong]] for the first time, before he joins an away team lead by [[Jansen Orrey]] to one of the other racing ships.  Upon their return, he leads more repairs in engineering while the Veritas escapes the void and returns to normal space with the aid of the [[USS Diligent]].

| style="background:#E6E6E6; width:400px;text-align:center;" |As the Veritas and the Diligent head back towards [[Ketar V]], the crew tries to recover from the events of 'Charybids' while welcoming some new faces aboard. An unexpected visit from a Betazoid noble provides the ship an opportunity to host a formal reception dinner, while the upcoming holidays are the perfect setting for a team of Elf-gineers to leave delightful surprises for the whole crew.

| style="background:#E6E6E6; width:400px;text-align:center;" |Federation Security of the Exterior Lily Ventu arrives on Ketar V to help mediate talks between the Romulan refugee community and the native colonists as they work on a plan forward for the troubled First Colony.

|-

| colspan="4" | Wil is assigned by his Chief [[Geoffrey Teller]] to coordinate with the Livernois shipyards to get the Veritas' hull repaired quickly, in time for Lily Ventu's visit.  He and [[Tahlin Alse]] head out in to the hull, before visiting the planet to coordinate with the new Starfleet Liaison at the Livernois shipyards to get extra resources assigned to the repairs.  After returning to the ship, Wil is devastated at the news that Geoffrey and [[Addison MacKenzie]] have accepted a transfer to [[Duronis II]], but parties hard with them at their farewell.  After their departure, Wil is once again assigned Acting Chief Engineer and works with [[Jansen Orrey]], [[Raissa Moonsong]], [[Kelrod]], [[Charlena Vanlith]] and [[Tahlin Alse]] on the bridge to discover a cloaked ship that is deliberately blocking Ketar V's communications network.  He is thrilled when Jansen allows him to take helm control of the Veritas.

|-

| colspan="4" | During a routine meeting with [[Roshanara Rahman|Captain Rahman]], Wil officially throws his hat into the ring for the permanent role of Chief Engineer of the [[USS Veritas|Veritas]], only to be surprised that Roshanara has already put him on her short list of candidates.  He also visits [[Sky Blake]] to see how she is progressing with her recovery from her spine transplant.  A chance meeting in the ship's library with [[Kelrod]] and [[Charlena Vanlith|Charlena]] finds him discovering the biography of a [[Terran]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie 20th Century Musician].  He once again tackles his engineering arch-nemesis, baby furniture attempts, when he attempts (and fails) to assemble a crib for [[Dassa Alexander-Dalton|Doctor Alexander-Dalton]] - Charlena has to save the day again.  A holodeck mix-up sees him playing a game of [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Velocity Velocity] with [[Ceciri Ariadust]].  After a request from [[Chase Masters]], he constructs a holodeck program that resembles an ancient Greek Stadium to act as a wedding venue for Chase's impending wedding.  Wil enjoys a horse ride on a holographic replica of the Moonsong family property with his pseudo older sister [[Raissa Moonsong|Raissa]] (only to be spat on - twice - by a llama named "Murry").  Finally, Wil is surprised to discover that in Captain Rahman's upcoming absence, he has been assigned Acting First Officer under the command of the Acting Captain, [[Jansen Orrey]].
