Early years
Carol Murphy was born in 2328 in the city of Utopia Planitia, Mars. Murphy always felt the need to help people and this led her into medicine. When she finished her schooling she enrolled in the Chang Medical Institute, considered to be one of the top ten Medical training academies in the entire Federation. After completed the six year course and her residency she worked in a hospital in Utopia Planitia.

While she worked as a doctor she lived in a house that was owned by both her and her sister.

Starfleet career
Then Carol was seduced into Starfleet. At the time threats from the Cardassians and other powers saw Starfleet seek to recruit trained personnel into Starfleet and Carol was one of these people. She was put into the Academy where she took a two year course where she got to train with the cutting edge in Starfleet medicine and and training to serve in Starfleet.

When she graduated in 2362 as a lieutenant jg and was sent to a small planet on the Cardassian border that had Federation Outpost M562. The Starfleet world had been invaded by the Cardassians and bitter fighting gripped the world. This experience left Carol scarred. It was a harsh induction into Starfleet and she had to work in a situation where she had too many patients and not enough supplies.

In 2363, while moving with a platoon from the Starfleet Ground Forces in an attack skimmer to a forward position their skimmer was downed by an advancing brelgaro of Cardassian soldiers. The platoon held out for a day despite been surrounded by the Cardassians. During the fighting Carol treated the injured and kept alive the critically injured pilot of the skimmer until they were rescued. For her actions while under fire she was awarded the Starfleet Surgeons Decoration.

After a two year fight for the outpost Starfleet abandoned it and Carol and the surviving personnel were shipped off the planet.

Carol was transferred to Starbase 212, which served as a major medical centre in its region of the Federation. After two years she received a promotion to lieutenant and four years later she was promoted to lieutenant commander. On Starbase 212 she also undertook some medical research, including classified studies.
