Carolyn Pratiwi Adiwoso was a Starfleet line officer active in the 23rd and early 24th centuries. (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station)

She was born 19 May 2259 in Yogyakarta Baru colony to Jonathan Adiwoso and Martha Siregar Adiwoso and named after her father's late sister. Adiwoso's parents died when she was young and custody of Carolyn was given to an uncle and aunt.

In 2272, Adiwoso entered New York University. During her sophomore year, after a boyfriend broke up with her, she hopped on a maglev subshuttle to San Francisco, where she cried on her cousin Sabartomo’s shoulder. (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station: "Promised")

Adiwoso graduated Harvard University Law School at the top of her class and moved to San Francisco to join a law firm there.

Kzin pirates attacked the interstellar liner SS Vymastre of Vega in 2284. Three-fourths of the crew and passengers were killed (and many eaten) before Federation starships — including the USS Constitution — engaged the pirates in combat. Adiwoso was among the survivors. After several months in rehabilitation, she resigned from her firm. The next year, she entered Starfleet Academy. (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station: "Vymastre")

During Adiwoso's first year at the Academy, she met Susanna Nyere, Katharine Janek, Shiras of Andor, Connor Leslie and Drusilla Brescia. The last was a cadet first class who was Carolyn’s student advisor.

In 2294, another cousin with whom Adiwoso was close died in an accident. Accompanying her to the memorial service at Starbase 29 from USS Accord were Captain Anbinder and Lieutenant Janek. (Star Trek: Avenger: "Belonging")

During a time-travel mission from 2302, Captain Adiwoso posed as an itinerant midwife and delivered a baby in Bandung, Java, Dutch East Indies, in 1929.

During the Tomed Incident in 2311, Adiwoso was commanding officer of the USS Denpasar, which was one of the vessels destroyed.
