Biography

In the late 2350s decade, Lavena had an affair with her future commanding officer, William T. Riker, while in her amphibious stage. (TTN novel: Taking Wing)

In the year 2379, Ensign Lavena signed aboard the Federation starship USS Titan, which was under the command of her former lover, Captain Riker, although he didn't recognize her at first. She served as the chief flight controller on the alpha shift. Due to her unique biology, her quarters were specially adapted and filled with ocean water from Pacifica so that she could be comfortable during her off hours. (TTN novel: Taking Wing)

In 2380 aboard Titan, she had a sexual encounter with Xin Ra-Havreii. (TTN novel: Orion's Hounds)

During the Borg's invasion in 2381, Lavena was on duty at the Bridge helm station when former Earth Starfleet Captain Erika Hernandez escaped the clutches of the Caeliar on New Erigol and promised to aid the Titan in departing as well. As Hernandez adjusted their deflector, she ordered Lavena to stand by at their best nonwarp speed. Hernandez allowed Captain Riker to give the word to depart, and as soon as he did, Lavena pressed the panel to fire the impulse engines at full power, taking the ship into the aperture of the subspace tunnel leading to the Azure Nebula. (ST - Destiny novel: Lost Souls)

Later that year, after the events on Droplet, Lavena was promoted to lieutenant junior grade. (TTN novel: Over a Torrent Sea)

Lavena had been promoted to full lieutenant by the year 2385, and was promoted by Rear Admiral Riker to lieutenant commander in 2386. (TTN novel: Sight Unseen)
