In 2403 she folowed in her parent's footsteps and enlisted in Starfleet, and joined the academy. Originally, she focused on starship piloting, but by halfway through her second year, she changed to command. In 2406, she was selected for Starfleet Inteligence training, and graduated a year early to begin.

In mid 2408, she was approved for joining and assigned a symbiont, and near the end of that year, she was joined.

Shortly after her joining, she was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and reassigned to the aging U.S.S. Ophelia, as junior helmsman, and intelligence officer.

As the year drew to a close she had been promoted to Lieutenant Commander, and stationed as Second Officer aboard the U.S.S. Parthenon. She remained aboard the Parthenon over the next few months.

In one of the opening battles of the Iconian War in 2410, the Parthenon was struck by a torpedo near the bridge, the captain and first officer suffered severe trauma, and were later declared unfit for service.

Following a battlefield commission to Captain, she saw the Parthenon through some of the bloodiest battles during the war, even reciveing a promotion to Fleet Captain and command of an attack wing near the end of the war.

In the final battle of the war, the Parthenon and her wing saw heavy casualties and even the Parthenon itself. Among the casualties, two of the five ships lost their captains, and the Parthenon lost her First Officer.

Eva took the loss hard, the two had been friends in the academy, and it was her choice that gave the post to Commander Evlam.
