Michele Tyler was a science officer in Starfleet. (Star Trek: Eagle)

Early life

She was born in North Dakota. Her mother was a Starfleet Engineer, who died when Michele was only two months old. Her father was a college science professor who raised her along.

Starfleet career

During the war with the Klingon empire in 2256-2257, although not seeing action directly, she wrote articles for the academy newspaper about the events of the war.

When she was of age, Ms. Tyler joined Starfleet, despite her father's disapproval. One of her early assignments she would be posted on the USS Potemkin were she first met and befriended Clause Elberg. The first post she served on as chief science officer was on the USS Dwarf Star. Her promotion to the post was after the science officer was killed on the bridge during a battle of the Federation-Klingon War (2267).

The Eagle's Mirror encounter

By 2269 she was promoted to the rank of commander and first officer on the USS Eagle. She knew of Zach Banner's history and was honored to meet him "face to face." One week after the Eagle was launched unknown to Tyler the captain’s mirror counterpart attempted to kill him and take his place.

Zach Banner ordered a device to be installed that would cause a reaction with the warp drive to transport the ship to the mirror universe. Once the mirror Banner’s plan was stopped Banner ordered the warp drive repaired so they may return to their own universe. But before the warp drive was operational the Eagle would be attacked by her mirror counterpart. While the ISS Eagle was chasing the USS Eagle the ship went into the Romulan neutral zone. Forcing the ISS Eagle to fall back and the crew would receive help repairing his warp engines from the Romulans of the Romulan Republic. (STE: "Into the Mirror")

Body Swap

Her posting on the Eagle didn't begin well. The known Elasi pirate, Kethla Stone, not only killed the ship's CMO, Patrick Miller, but also used the technology in the base to swap with Tyler in order to take her place. While Tyler spent time in the brig, unable to convince the crew of her real identity, Kethla used her body to collect as much top secret information as possible and made her escape on one of the Eagle's shuttles. Although Kethla was not able to cover her tracks while on her way back to Peltex III. When the Starfleet vessel USS Griffen intercepted the transmission her co pirate killed her in an attempt to cover their tracks. This act forced Tyler to spend the rest of he life in the body of the former pirate. ("The Heist")

The Bismarck Infected

In early 2270 Ms. Tyler accompanied the captain on board his old ship, the USS Bismarck-A. Unknown when they beamed over the ship was controlled by an insane alien computer. She and Dr. Charlie Christianson were sent down to back up control to deactivate the shields so they could beam back to the Eagle. Once there the alien computer caused the control panel to explode seriously hurting her. The Doctor was able to keep her alive long enough for the captain to destroy the computer and beam back to the Eagle.

Temporary Command

After the incident on the Bismarck captain Banner took a several week leave of absence from the eagle, during which Commander Tyler took command of the ship. While at the planet Andoria when the Eagle was ordered to pick up several crates of classified cargo the ship was attacked by a group of mercenary pirates under captain Seluk working for the Gorn. The attack crippled the Eagle's warp engines and the pirates had taken the classified cargo along with Mr. Elberg and Dr. Christianson. After some help from the USS Saladin under her old friend Ray Martin. With the Saladin's help Commander Tyler was able to find the pirate vessel and retrieve the stolen cargo along with her fellow officers. She then delivered the cargo to partners in the exchange, the First Federation.

Lost in Space

Her career would come to a halt in 2270 during a treaty with the Stolvez she and her party, including Zach Banner, were attacked and taken into custody. She along with several other Starfleet personnel would be listed as MIA for five years.

Captaincy

At some point she was found and regained her rank. From 2278 to 2289, she was captain of the Miranda-class ship the USS Lantree exploring the rimward regions of the Alpha Quadrant and then patroling the Romulan Neutral Zone and neighboring Federation systems. (Star Trek: Eagle)
