She has an extensive service record of commanding vessels and stations since the 2360s.

Personality

Vailis is an excellent listener and tends to be a woman of few words. She has learned in her long career that it is always better to have all of the available information in front of her before deciding on anything. Her leadership style prefers allowing talented subordinates to do their jobs with as little micromanaging as possible, and she avoids meddling in the affairs of captains in her sector.

Vailis In-Play

• Vailis’s authority extends to the ships in the Barzan sector and those passing through to the Delta Quadrant, so she is a possible source of orders to ships of the Fourth Fleet assigned there. As a fleet-level NPC, you may use her in your stories as long as you do not alter her personality or history—or kill her.
• Typically, orders would pass from her through Fourth Fleet Operations and then through a Task Force Commanding Officer before getting to a starship captain. Still, exigent circumstances—emergencies, e.g.—might allow her to interact directly with your characters.
• Vailis is a taciturn person who prefers to listen to others thoroughly before adding any comments. Her tendency to think things through may make her appear like she isn’t paying attention or is bored, but this couldn’t be farther from the truth.
