Starfleet Academy

In 2359, Zo'Kama decided to join Starfleet. She graduated the academy, on the Commandant’s List, in 2363.

USS Geronimo

Her first assignment brought her to the Akira-class ship. She served as one of the ship's doctors. A year later, she was awarded the Starfleet Surgeons' Decoration and was promoted to Lieutenant junior grade.

In 2367, she was tasked to confirm that Simon Tarses of the USS Enterprise-D was one-quarter Romulan for Norah Satie. She later regretted sending the results once she realized what they were used for.

In 2368, Zo'Kama was again promoted, this time to Lieutenant, and was requested to this civilian facility.

Later that year, she was loaned out to a joint Federation-Romulan archaeological excavation on Iconia, in the Neutral Zone. (Dark Territory: "The Needs of the One")

She worked for the Vulcan agency for the next five years, where she earned the Vulcan Scientific Legion of Honor.
