Backstory
Vijay Patel is the youngest daughter of Sanjeev and Jhanvi Patel. Her father is a aeronautical engineer with Chawla Aerospace Corporation of Earth. When she was a child, she was raised in a traditional Hindi household. While growing up, she dreamed of becoming a pilot with the company her father worked for. However, her father forbade her to pursue her dreams and insisted she "stick with tradition". When she was 18, her parents arranged a marriage for her but she refused and left her family. The next day she enlisted in the UEP Starfleet and went into pilot training. After she graduated from flight school, she was posted at a variety of UEP ships and bases where she racked up a impressive kill rate. Her low rank, however is due to her penchant for "raising hell" with her fellow pilots and her insubordinate behaviour to her commanders. She was bounced around from ship to ship and from base to base when she was picked up by Capt. Carolanne Burke of the MRV Aquila. When the Aquila defected to the Neo-Maquis, she and her fellow pilots on the Aquila made off with 4 Type 6 Peregrine class fighters from the UEP base on PQR-171. She and her fellow pilots followed Capt. Carolanne Burke to Maquis Universal when they defected in 2415.
Interacting With MU
Now on MU Station, Vijay and her squadron mates have made themselves a new home with MU Snowbird Squadron. Even on MU Station, she's gotten a reputation as a hellraiser there and is notorious for sleeping with any unattached male or female and describes herself as being "omnisexual". She can often be seen in the lounge or in the pilot's rec room with her "Top Gun" tankard. If it wasn't her her skills in a plane, Vijay would have been kicked off the station long ago, a fact not unnoticed by MU's senior staff.
