{{header|Maroon|History}}

As she was commissioned in the middle of 2399, Zi Nijal has little Starfleet history to speak of. She served as an engineering officer through her first two promotions, and was then assigned as a mission specialist on the '''Oumuamua'' before being reassigned in that same role to the ''Octavia E Butler'' with most of her crew.

She attended Starfleet Academy when she was old enough to do so, after having set her sights on becoming a Starfleet officer as a young person, as she grew up with Federation aid for Cardassia's rebuilding. Even with a few negative experiences at the Academy, she maintains a very positive attitude toward Starfleet. 

She is one of the few fully Cardassian officers in Starfleet.
