History

  • Born in 2234 aboard SS Proxima Horizon, a family-run freighter that's been in mostly-continuous operation (interrupted mainly for upgrades) since 2123. Has relatives that settled on space stations or near spaceports in many worlds on a broad smear running through Federation space roughly galactic east-west from Earth. Oldest child, would have inherited the freighter, but wanted to be part of something bigger.
  • Graduated Starfleet Academy 2255, stationed as 3rd shift helmsman aboard USS Europa.
  • [Career Event]USS Europa responded to the distress call from USS Shenzhou, in the incident later known as the Battle at the Binary Stars, which marked the beginning of the Federation-Klingon War of 2256-57. Ananthi was assigned to ready the Admiral's shuttle for the possibility of negotiation at a neutral site, and thus ready for immediate launch when the Europa was rammed by a concealed Klingon warship and the order to abandon ship was given. In the chaos of resumed hostilities, she was able to string up a total of ten lifeboats before the attention of a Klingon Bird-of-Prey turned to her shuttle, and she warped out at just barely the last moment before its disruptors would have torn her shuttle apart. No other lifeboats from Europa were recovered.
  • Spent the rest of the war, and until the M-5 incident, aboard USS Lexington, as 2nd shift navigator, 2nd shift flight controller, lead navigator, and second officer successively.
  • Transferred to USS Excalibur as first officer after its restoration to service, under Captain Miles Jefferies.
