Horribly wounded in a tragic shuttle accident, Lieutenant Airiam was saved by an experimental procedure. Following the aftermath of the accident, Airiam received cybernetic augmentations. These enhanced her senses, allowed her to make complex decisions in nano-seconds and improved her physical strength and agility. These upgrades, along with her intelligence and courage, made her a natural fit for the bridge of the U.S.S. Discovery. It was not long before Airiam rose up the ranks of Starfleet, eventually achieving the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Though her past will always be shadowed by her tragedy, Airiam’s future remains bright.
