​Early life
Katie Williams was born in 2112. She would join Starfleet and began her engineering career in 2150. During her 6-year career in Starfleet, she served on a total of two ships.

​Starfleet Academy
Katie applied for Starfleet Academy in 2150 and passed all her classes with flying colors, and was learning about the warp reactor and graduated in 2153.

​Washington
In 2153, Ensign Williams was the assistance chief engineer onboard the Venus-Class Starship Washington. During her time onboard the ship a warp core breach occurred on the Washington, Lieutenant junior grade Williams was able to save the ship from destruction, but only after disobeying a direct order from the visiting Commodore Voss. Even though the ship was not destroyed, seven crew members were killed in the incident, including the Washington's Captain. Voss brought Williams up on charges of reckless endangerment and dereliction of duty. After a general court martial, Katie was convicted of dereliction of duty, reduced to the rank of Ensign and forbidden from serving aboard a starship.

Outpost duty
The court martial conviction weighed heavily on Williams and stunted her once promising career. She bounced from Outpost to Outpost, eventually ending up at Outpost 23, where she promoted to Lieutenant Commander again. It was here, in 2154, that Williams oversaw the repairs of the Columbia after her mission to rescue Doctor Phlox, earning the respect of the ship's Captain.
