Her command abilities surfaced during the Tangaro incident, an Academy survival training mission that turned to disaster when the Tressaurians fired on the transport. Marcia was evacuated via lifeboat along and became stranded on the uncharted planet Tangaro. As the senior surviving cadet, Garrovick led the survivors, both Starfleet Academy cadets and civilians, for two years until Starfleet found them. It was during this time that her boyfriend James left her, assuming that she had died during the attack. Starfleet brass refer to Taylor as "Quince", a nickname introduced by Captain Kosnett of the USS Republic (NCC-1371). Commodore James T. Kirk, who served aboard the Republic, still refers to Taylor with this moniker.
