A Trill, joined with the Elea symbiont, Lujayne has always favored the sciences. Though Elea is a relatively young symbiont at only 283 years old, the three full lifetimes of experience allowed Lujayne to excel in the Academy and graduate at the top of the Class of 2385.

After graduation she became the science officer of the USS Bond, a Nova class vessel. After a few years in that position she transfered to the USS Sterling Archer as the operations officer. She was selected to become first officer of the Intrepid-class USS Makayla Cox, where she was forced into command after the captain was killed during an away mission.

Her term as brevet captain ended when Starfleet asked her to assume command of the new Luna-class vessel USS Maggie Cohen where she explored to the edges of the Alpha Quadrant into the more unmapped regions of the Beta Quadrant. Completing a 2 year-long mapping project, the Cohen was recalled to Earth in response to the new Klingon threat. In deference to her superb performance and unblemished record of success Lujayne was assigned to Starfleet’s 101st Fleet and assumed command of a Vesta class explorer USS Phoenix Askani. Under her command the Askani successfully participated in multiple crises around New Romulus and served admirably in defensive campaigns against the Jem Hadar, Voth, and Undine.

Due to damage sustained during closing days of the Undine struggle, the Askani was re-assigned to the Earth Defense Force as an advanced training ship while she underwent repairs. Star Fleet Command awarded Lujayne command of a newer, upgraded Vesta, U.S.S. Righetti, the her current command. To date the ship has served admirably through the Vaadwaur skirmishes and has been a key Allied component in the Iconian War.
