==Bio==
Mac came up through the ranks as an engineer, but a near disastrous tour under Captain Isib Ch'tharan on the Vizhini changed all of that. Mac couldn't say if the ridiculously high tech assault could have been avoided, but it was brutal. Once they were boarded, many, many of her crewmates died.

It was small comfort that she proved an academy thesis that she never was allowed to test. You could, in fact, program a replicator to replicate phaser fire, and if you bypassed the serving restrictors you could do so on full auto. 

She and several others had held the mess until the captain finally made his fateful bargain.

When she was finally exchanged back to the federation after being marooned on a hostile world for several months, and had gone through mandatory debriefing and counselling, she had stepped down from her post and gone back to the academy to study Command and earn her stripes and her yellow shirt.

She was more than happy that her first command was to be over a small, quiet science vessel.
