Biography[]
Starfleet Academy[]
Tobias enrolled at Starfleet Academy in 2357. While there, she formed close friendships with fellow cadets Soleta, Zak Kebron, Mark McHenry and Worf. (TNG - Starfleet Academy novel: Worf's First Adventure)
Tobias was among the Academy contingent that was sent to the colony on Dantar IV, when the Federation/Klingon co-venture was experiencing problems. When the colony was the victim of a sneak attack, Tania stayed behind in the colony when the evacuation ships hit capacity. Tobias, her squad, and a squadron of Klingon cadets defended the outpost from its Brikar attackers until reinforcements arrived with the USS Repulse. (TNG - Starfleet Academy novels: Line of Fire, Survival)
USS Aldrin[]
Tobias' first assignment out of the Academy was aboard the USS Aldrin. She was part of an away team that was attacked by Romulan smugglers in the year 2362. When team leader Lieutenant Ashanté Shimura was injured, Tobias became team leader. She and Ensign Worf tracked one of the attacking Romulans, V'Ret, after their ship had crashed. To Tobias' dismay, Worf did not hesitate to use lethal force. (NF short story: "Revelations")
Worlds Within Worlds[]

While working on the project, Tobias suffered an unexplained mental breakdown that left her prone to having incoherent screaming fits. (NF novel: Missing in Action)
The Excalibur[]

Tobias in 2379.
When the Excalibur was at Priatia and in the extra-dimensional realm of the Teuthis and Bolgar, she seemed to be able to sense the comings and goings of the aliens, an ability apparently tied to her experience at Worlds Within Worlds. (NF novel: Missing in Action)
