Early Life
Captain Scoville was born in space to two crewmen aboard the USS Tecumseh. Her parents, both enlisted personnel, were engineers and had served on a wide variety of different ships. She was raised on board the vessel until the age of 7, when her parents transferred to the Utopia Planitia Shipyards orbiting Mars in order to be closer to Earth. As a young girl, however, Amelia wanted nothing to do with planetary life and wanted to do anything she could to get back on a starship.
Her parents secured her an internship at the shipyards when she was 16 years old, giving her the opportunity to learn a great deal about the inner working of Starfleet vessels, and she was even given the opportunity to work on the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701, when it came in for repairs under Captain Robert April.
While she had a great deal of respect for the hard work of engineers, however, Captain Scoville wanted to find a way onto the bridge. So it was that when she turned 19 Amelia applied for Starfleet Academy, hoping to go into Command school. She was at first hesitant to tell her parents, worried that they would be offended by her decision. Instead, however, they were ecstatic for her and supported her completely, even getting her in touch with several of their old colleagues from the Tecumseh who had retired to teaching jobs at the academy in order to help her get her application up to snuff.
Career
Focusing on the Command track in the Academy, Amelia Scoville graduated in 2256. Her first assignment was aboard the USS Turing, serving aboard that vessel for 4 years in various assignments. Gaining a reputation as something of a jack-of-all-trades, she worked on a wide variety of assignments during her time as a crewman onboard the USS Barcelona and the USS Yatagarasu.
She has put her skills to good use over the years, exploring strange new worlds and assisting in making first contact with numerous new species and civilizations. She lives in what is something of a golden age for Starfleet exploration, with exciting new places to explore and incredible discoveries in every new system. On one notable occasion, she encountered a being that lives most of its life as a gas - only solidifying once every few thousand years when its home planet enters an ice age. The entity, known as a Chalth, was initially threatening to the crew, but then-Commander Scoville was instrumental in finding common ground with the creature and convincing it that the crew of the Yatagarasu were not enemies.
She has dealt with the Romulans extensively, as well, being involved in a series of border skirmishes with them shortly after they resurfaced in conflict with the Enterprise. She understands their culture better than most Federation officers after her long interactions with them, and is considered a foremost expert on the secretive culture of Romulus.
